As my first week (er, honestly, nearer to my first 3 days) of government-encouraged isolation comes to an end, my heart is lighted by the latest issue of Cliterature Journal and a piece of mine appearing in The Erotic Review. Both are free to read. Cliterature’s GOD/DESS issue includes an excerpt from my story “Annunciation,” about gender, […]

The Way Home: Free Halloween Flash Fiction
The autumn night was clear, with cold-looking stars in the dark blue overhead. Gabriella drove slowly, her gaze sweeping the road where the headlights faded into shadow. She peered at the gravel shoulders until her eyes ached, especially on the passenger side. That’s where she would be. Ethan peered out his window, too, turned so […]
Continue Reading....Cliterature’s 50th Issue
For their 50th issue of poetry, short fiction, and essays addressing the intersection of women’s sexuality, Cliterature has released the double-sized “Anthology“. It includes my piece, “Manifesto,” best described as a fictional essay–written in a voice that is not quite my own. Actually, the voice belongs to the heroine of my NaNo novel. But her manifesto certainly draws […]

…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 […]

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. She makes an art of it. I shiver with a memory of the night she opened her door in long-sleeved, loose and low-cut pajamas with […]

This has wound up going under my “free fiction” tag for organizing purposes, but Sharyn Ferns’ latest release is a nonfiction collection: “Joyful stories from dominant women and submissive men talking about how they found each other and what happened next.“ From newcomers to longtime bonds to marriages, these are real interviews from F/m participants who […]
Continue Reading....More Free Fiction for Halloween
It’s the 31st of October and I still haven’t picked out my costume. From the array of cosplay/Ren Faire odds and ends in the back of my closet, I’ll have to decide what to go with based on the weather. If it dips below freezing, I’ll probably choose the Victorian frock coat in which to hand out […]
Continue Reading....Haunted is now out!
Haunted, Mofo Pubs’ latest volume of literary erotica, is out today–just in time for Halloween! Treat yourself to the eerie, sexy, chilling and thrilling: A young man feels a peculiar hunger to be loved, one he can’t survive without sating in a series of vivid homoerotic dreams that blur the boundaries of fantasy and fact, […]
Continue Reading....Music for making love to ghosts
A Walt Whitman poem says, “And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.” I’ve always misheard that as “To die is luckier than any of us know, and stranger.” Because how could it not be? I don’t pretend to have any insight into what an actual afterlife might be like, but when I’m […]
