Each Man Kills The Thing He Loves
When Garce invited me to write on this topic, I jumped on it without thought: write about an erotic fantasy you love but would / could never do. I thought that nothing could be easier because I don’t do much of anything these days. But when I really sat down to consider it, it became […]
Final Reflections on #EAACON and the future of the genre
I have to applaud the organizers of the inaugural EAA Conference for not only their courage, their incredibly hard work, and the great job they did on envisioning what the structure and format of a conference for erotic writers would look like. Today I did their survey for the conference attendees and it prompted some […]
Second and Final Day at #EAACON
The second day of EAACON (The Erotica Authors’ Association conference) began with the Editors’ Panel. Not a lot of new stuff at this for anyone who has been submitting to anthologies for a while. Basically, writers who don’t follow formatting requests when they submit tend to turn editors off. For anyone reading who has just […]
The First Day #EAACON
The first event of the morning was the Publishers’ panel and it was an interesting one. There was certainly a consensus that the rise of the e-book has done nothing but brighten the future of erotic writing. The people who spoke, representing a variety of publishers, all seem to have very solid understanding of their […]
Fear, Loathing, Guns and Delivery Whores in Las Vegas: #EAACON
I promised a number of people that I’d blog my trip to Las Vegas to the inaugural EAA conference. It’s been ten years since my last visit to the US. Of course, it is fair to say that Las Vegas is not really the US, nor is Los Angeles, but you can’t keep insisting that […]
Anything but that!
I recently had a twitter showdown with a fellow author who asked writers who write age-play and incest-play fantasy to stop following her. It’s not that I write much of that sort of thing myself, although I have. You can read it here. It’s that I am frankly disgusted by a writer who would seek […]
The L Word
No. Not that L word. The other one. Well, there are a couple of others, actually, but they pretty much mean the same thing: lust, libido, lewdness, lechery, lasciviousness, licentiousness, longing… It’s taken me a while to figure out why I can’t write any decent erotica. When I realized what it was, it actually frightened […]
Now for something completely different
You can’t judge a book by its cover. Which explains why I have this image here. Yes, I know what you’re going to say: ‘Hey, when you sell that many books, you can tell me Twilight was bad’. I’m going to say (because I fully own to being an elitist bitch): ‘No. Twilight is a […]
Too Much Boogie Anthology
My story, Hole, has been published in Cole Riley’s Too Much Boogie anthology. There are a shitload of outstanding writers in this anthology and, although it was published without much fanfare, it is really worth a read. Summary Selected stories inspired from the recorded gems of the Delta blues, Chicago blues, Memphis blues and Texas […]
Going Dark
I’ve taken stock of what I have posted in the last while and decided I need to take a break. You don’t visit my site to wade through this emo crap. You come here to read erotica. I find I’m currently not able to produce anything of value. So it’s time to shut up. I […]
