I didn’t do my usual avalanche of tweeting during the Eroticon London 2013 conference, which goes some way to telling you just how absorbing it was. First and foremost, huge congratulations to Ruby Kiddell (@eroticnotebook) for her masterful organization of the event. It really was superbly done. Also, a big congrats need to go...

#Eroticon2013 – Monday’s hungover recollections of Saturday’s sessions
The Unvarnished Truth of Current Reader Expectation
Here, publicly, is my response to Joan Defers ‘On “Dark Erotica” post. I posted it here because I’m so fed up to the teeth with the emergent relationship between readers and writers, I just couldn’t keep silent any longer.

Why I Won’t Crit Stories Privately Anymore
It seemed about time again to write a post on why I don’t agree to give people private critiques of their erotic writing. I’ll make this concise and in point form: 1. I used to. Then I realized that 90% of the requests came from people who wanted praise. Praise doesn’t help you improve...

Gaijin & Splinter re-released on Kindle, ePub and PDF #burningbookpress
Well, it doesn’t rain but it pours. I’m really glad to announce the re-issue of two of my novellas: Gaijin and The Splinter. I confess that Gaijin was a disturbing story when I wrote it, and it still is for me now. In retrospect, I’m proud of myself for having the balls to write...

My Response: A Writer’s View
