Where Does Transgression Belong?
I recently came across a zoom discussion that has lit something of a fire under my ass about writing. If you are interested in the nuts and bolts of erotic writing, of transgression in fiction, and the mechanisms of eliciting jouissance in the reader, I highly recommend you take a look at this. It’s produced […]
WIWIWYG (What I Write Is What You Get)
About five times a year, I receive either comments or emails asking me why I don’t write erotic fiction on a slew of topics: “why don’t you write about wife-swapping, cougars, cock and ball torture, shoe fetishism, choking, violet wands, water-sports…?” While I realize that most of the world has come to view erotic fiction […]

The Prison of the Photographed Self
I’m a rabid user of social media – both text and photography and, more recently, I’ve experimented with Periscope which streams video live. Travelling quite a bit – sometimes for work, sometimes for pleasure – I have an unholy fear of being without a 3G connection to feed the social media beast wherever I go. […]
My Presentation at Eroticon 2015
I did manage to record my presentation at Eroticon 2015, but I have to apologize in advance for the very poor sound quality of some of it. At some point, I will try and produce a podcast which is more listenable, but for now, this is what I have: Listen to the podcast version here, […]

If No, what is your favourite memory from a previous Eroticon and if Yes, what are you most looking forward to at Eroticon 2015? No, this is not my first Eroticon. I attended the […]
A Brief History of Erotica and What it Has Become
I’m a member of a very vibrant private group on Facebook called The Erotic Literature Appreciation Society. A fair number of its members are some of the writers I most admire. However, what is clear is that, beneath the surface, there is a pretty massive schism as to what we are calling ‘erotica’. Historically, erotica, […]
Why Publishing Doesn’t Matter To Me Anymore
If you’ve hit my website before, you might be wondering why I have most of my short stories and even long series online, instead of in published anthologies. If you take a look at my short works in print page, you will probably notice that in the last year, I’ve submitted almost nothing to editors. […]
On Dominance in Erotic Fiction: A few Questions
One of my readers, Sally, left me some questions that I felt required a little more thought and more space than was available in a comments reply, so I’ve answered them here. Her questions were: 1.) As an author of erotic fiction, what assets or personality traits do you believe make the male lead in […]
Bad Men and Why Perfectly Intelligent, Independent, Sane Women Fantasize About Them
Do you ever get the sneaking suspicion life would be a lot easier if we shut up about our erotic fantasies? I do. Picture Miss Catherine Thoroughgood: a primly dressed, middle-aged spinster sitting at a window on a cold autumn day, overlooking a bleak rural English landscape, trying to get enough light to darn a […]
