In brief: I did it. 50,000 words in one month—actually, 62,006 words—were done. By me! It’s completely unexpected, and delightful, but not the golden promised land of a happy ending I…was never actually promised. Caveat: some wordcount came from revising (and expanding, and finishing) scenes I started writing last NaNo. But to make up for […]

Continue Reading....How Terrifying
…Halloween was a full week ago? Already!? My participation in NaNo has devoured vast swathes of time, so much that I’m a little nervous to look at the calendar. But yep, there it is. As on previous Halloweens, I have a story at Circlet Press’s website. If you’re up for something delicious and unnerving, “The […]
Continue Reading....“Ripples” at Pink Litter
Today I’m at Pink Litter with a flash piece about bodies, intimacy, display, and pleasant surprises: It’s a style I’ve come to associate with her, that flattering and sometimes deeply erotic modesty.

If my records are correct, May 2018 was the first month in a year and a half that I did not submit a story to at least one call for submissions (the original Write 1/Sub 1 called for one story submission a week, but that seemed a little excessive). I’d found myself lagging to meet […]

To celebrate 7 years of publishing, Pure Slush is releasing a 7-volume series about the 7 deadly sins. Lust is the first, with poetry and flash fiction by 70 different writers from around the world. My piece, “What You Want,” is about sadism, both the sexy and the scary parts. It gets to the point where you can’t […]

Is this the most awful sex writing 2017 can offer? Erotica writers and editors Betina and T.C. do a close reading of excerpts from The Literary Review’s “Bad Sex in Fiction Award”, featuring: bizarre word choice! Awful details! Strained metaphors! Painful dialogue! “Erotic” scenes that beg for psychoanalysis! And, most shocking of all…several pieces of sex […]
