If You Were My Lover: Stories for Lovers of Literary Erotica
Twelve tales to tantalize and satisfy. This collection includes several gender pairings (and threesomes!), along with stories where you can choose how to interpret a character’s gender, plus a story whose narrator is deciding how to interpret their own gender.

Continue Reading....Cosmic, uncanny, and erotic
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 […]

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, […]

Rosewitch by T.C.Mill is another one of my favorites. I loved the atmosphere of the witch’s cottage; I could almost smell the roses when I read the description of her garden.
