[T]he real gems in this anthology are those that eschew the usual pert, young, able-bodied subjects of erotic fantasy in favor of more thoughtful, relatable portrayals, and are all the sexier for it. Of particular note are Scout Rhodes’s “Morning Fog,” which features sleepy early-morning sex between women over 60; T.C. Mill’s “Fearless,” which touchingly […]

A woman encounters an ethereal beauty at a peculiar gala in this Poe-inspired love story—erotic, eerie, and Gothically romantic… Excerpt Madeline grips Ashtophet’s hand and aches like she is torn in two where she stands.

"Their Window" is up as a free read on MMURE.com. It's about two wives claiming their space in their new home, with some treats for fans of sapphic love and mild (but big for the person doing it) exhibitionism. “Not yet,” she said. “But, baby—” “Not. Yet.” She punctuated the words with soft laughter and […]

Maybe it’s the full flush of our submissions period (260+ authors have sent us a truly uncountable number of stories, and there’s still a week to send more in!). Maybe it’s quarantine. But I keep coming up with ideas for erotica anthologies. Reading submissions has shown some interesting gaps in the genre. That and spending […]

Both are free to read. Cliterature’s GOD/DESS issue includes an excerpt from my story “Annunciation,” about gender, […]

I’ve been somewhat absent of late, haven’t I? Conditions described in my previous personal update prevail. Pervertedly. Passionately. It feels so natural and so wonderful at once. While a lady doesn’t tie up and tell–actually, my boytoy/girlfriend wouldn’t mind me bragging, but the real challenge would be wanting to talk and talk and talk about […]
