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. Historical, literary, and speculative short stories explore scent and sensation, language and bodies, religion, philosophy, […]

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 […]

Book alert: the Red Velvet and Absinthe anthology is currently on sale at 10% of its original price (99 cents instead of $9.99)! This anthology of Gothic erotic fiction is quite possibly the best book of erotica I’ve ever read. I’m not in it, but you might say it’s in me. Every piece is lush and dazzling, […]

Just one week from today (Sept 15, 2017), I have two stories coming out in SinCyr Publishing’s first anthology, Getting It. It’s 13 stories of dominant women of all kinds and their submissives.

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, […]

“Maybe I am wrong,” Iphigenia said. “And if so, I’m sorry to trouble you. I don’t think I’m wrong, but I truly don’t want to—to make things worse for you. If I’m opening a wound that’s healed, tell me. If it’s not still raw and bleeding, then I know I ought to let it be.” […]

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. Here, a young man comes seeking a love potion. Instead, he learns about his own motives and desires. The witch uses her rose vines to restrain him […]
