Out this month, Mystique is an anthology of gay and lesbian erotic fantasy romance. My piece in it, “The Passion of Her Sleep,” is a Poe-inspired f/f love story, eerie, erotic, and sweet… The elevator pitch–by which I mean what I’d ramble at you were you trapped in an elevator with me–is “Madeline Usher meets a beautiful, clever, and […]

Dirty Thirty
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
