The stories in this anthology explore what happens in those most impersonal of private spaces—hotels. Hotel. The very word conjures a sense of transience. Hotel takes you into a world without permanence. Between these pages, lovers meet and lovers part. Elegant, sensual prose takes you from grand ballrooms with lavish appointments to shabby heaps where […]
Continue Reading....Book Review: Shadowheart by Laura Kinsale
I cried happy tears while reading this story. That fact might prove embarrassing, since a) I am not the type of person who would be expected to weep sappily over romance novels, not least because b) I am a sadist. Literally, a dominant sexual sadist. But here I am, all salt-watery with a tissue in hand, […]

My cup overfloweth. Contracts are signed, edits are underway, and I just discovered that I’ll be sharing the tables of contents in two upcoming anthologies with some very excellent people. Your cup might overflow as well, dear reader, because in each of these anthologies I have two stories. In MoFo’s third anthology, Religion (originally Sacrilege), my stories are […]
Continue Reading....Embodied Hauntings–“The Bitterness of Flesh”
Continuing on my themes from the last week’s posts–hauntings, and also recent releases that didn’t get proper blog posts because my website was down at the time they came out. “Would you like to see Cleo?” This time the blush flamed to the surface of her skin, and the chill dove deeper, towards her heart. […]

The paperback of MoFo Pub’s Wanderlust anthology is now available from Amazon. That gorgeous cover will look great on your shelves (something about photography and hot pink lettering does things to me, okay?) and even better open in your lap. While you read it. Which you’ll thank yourself for. This is the one featuring my story “Soft, Rough.” But […]
Continue Reading....Best Women’s Erotica of the Year Author Interviews
I just realized how much I have to catch up on, posting-wise, from those long and dreary months I spent without a website. And there’s a whole sob story about what else was going on that getting the new website up wasn’t a priority for me, but who needs to hear that? Sob stories aren’t […]
Continue Reading....New Release–Wanderlust: a Literary Erotica Anthology
“Turn-ons include well-placed commas, devastating allusions, ten-dollar words, social commentary, moral ambiguity, alliteration.” As soon as I read the description on the website of MoFo Pubs, I knew this was somewhere I wanted to submit (fiction, that is). The best turn-ons, the kind that weave the strongest spell, are those that engage your brain as well […]

I’m happy to say my new author’s website is up! New look for the new year! And hopefully better than ever! Please pardon my dust as I update this website with content and links to stories. In the meantime, here’s a full list, with excerpts, of my work published in 2016.

I mean, yeah, the less said about this year the better. That was even reflected on the writing front–I completed and placed fewer stories than I wanted to. However, I was also thrilled to be included in the following publications (and to have participated in my first Femslash February, with results posted on AO3)! “For […]

Excerpt An arm went around her waist—Rob’s, lithe and warm, an eager embrace she couldn’t help melting into. He reached for her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. Only then did he follow Jillian’s gaze to the dresses from the back of the closet. He went still against her. From the […]
