Happy belated Valentine’s Day, whoever you spent it with. Including and especially to those who spent it alone, as I did–not the worst of company! And not just because it means there’s no need to share the pile of chocolate assortments I got on discount the 15th of February. ;D Without digging too much into […]

“Like a Flash Flood” in Escape to Pleasure: Lesbian Travel Erotica
Excerpt: “Yes,” Kim said cheerfully. “I know what it looks like.” Rosa heard the smile in her voice as her girlfriend led the way in. “It’s called a slot canyon.” Rosa was too dry and breathless to speak. She fell back a few steps to take it all in—yes, the two masses of rock, rusty […]

Even though it’s been a winter with eerily little snow, it’s still winter. It’s gray, it’s cold, the kind slices like a knife. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be anywhere but where I am. Since, because of travesties like “work” and other “adult responsibilities,” I can’t pack up a suitcase and follow […]

I am so excited to contribute to Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year, Vol 3, and to contribute to the anthology’s blog tour today with some behind-the-scenes information about how and why I wrote “Fearless.” About the blog tour: Any commenters on any of these blog posts (including on editor Sacchi Green’s blog tour posts on Facebook) […]

Today is the release date for Dancing With Myself, an anthology of self-love erotica. What a beautiful phrase–“self-love.” In all it senses. Interestingly, one might argue that the protagonist of my piece in this anthology, “The Solution,” doesn’t have a lot of reason to love herself. “The Solution” is a story that’s been on my mind for a while. […]

Mofo publishing’s latest anthology of literary erotica, Sacrilege, comes out August 17th. This week I’m sharing excerpts from both my stories in it. “Annunciation” is a Marian devotion, a confession, a denunciation, and a love story about growing up queer in the Catholic Church. Annunciation Gabriel The Nativity is the third Joyful Mystery. My first crush was […]

This is a a quick post taking inventory, inspired by the realization that “My Body is a Haunted House” looks like my first explicitly F/F story to be published. It’s not the first one I’ve written, though, nor the only one in the publishing pipeline; and it’s far from the only time I’ve explored my experience as […]

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 […]

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 […]
