New Cover Art: Kissing in a Tree

My cover art portfolio is getting to the point where I need to consider just that: an actual portfolio. Here’s the latest. Pretty sexy little short, too. After her reckless behavior in the first Her Other Husband story, “A Snap Decision,” Kelly can’t get her…

I lift things up and put them down

“I lift things up and put them down.” If you haven’t seen that commercial, watch it, you’ll laugh. That’s me, in a nutshell. Well, not physically me — substitute weights for stories and muscles for, erm, writing ability? (My analogy breaks a little, but screw…

Resolutions: 2012

I don’t normally do resolutions, but I’m feeling inspired and I’ve learned long ago that when I’m inspired to just go with it. So set down your bottle of champagne and shake away the hangover. Here’s a hopefully realistic list of things I’m going to…

Juggling act of a writer

When writing a story, I find that I often feel like a juggler: characters, plots, twists, intricacies, I have to keep track of them all as they rise and fall. This is my process. It’s not the best process in the world, but it works…

New Cover Art: Sex Equity by Jake Marlow

While life may be preventing me from doing much of my own writing (either creatively or on this blog), my e-cover portfolio continues to grow. Jake Marlow, an author I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the past few years, has released a new…

Guest Post: Intimacy, Honesty and Uncomfortable Truths: Why I Write Erotica

There’s a little truth in every bit of fiction. When we authors share our stories, we’re sharing a little bit of ourselves. Lucy V. Morgan, whose novella Beautiful Mess is now available [Kindle link, more at the bottom], volunteers a little more in this guest…

Tags and categories on erotic fiction sites

After “erotica for men,” the search term that brings the most traffic to this site is “literotica tags.” I have no idea why this is the case since I’ve never written a post explicitly about tags and literotica. I wrote one about the site in…

Fool me twice: the literotica fiasco

Remember in my last post when I talked about how Literotica misposted my sequel to Little Miss Communication? And remember the convoluted steps I had to take to get it removed and reposted? Well, I did those and it was reposted… wrong again. As the…

The pitfalls of free erotic publishing sites

I wrote a post a while back reviewing the three major free erotic sites out there: literotica.com, eroticstories.com, and storiesonline.net. In it, I said that none of them are perfect. This short post is a reminder to myself how true this statement is (and primarily,…

Little Miss (directions)

Sorry, couldn’t help the pun (and worse, the pun hardly makes sense). Little Miss Calculation should post soon to Lit (edit: I’ve posted it on my site). If you haven’t read the first part of the “Little Miss” tales (Little Miss Communication), it’s basically a…

Peek-a-boo

Exhibitionists aren’t cut out for the ghost’s life, as Paul and Neve learned in the year after their death. Public sex loses something when the public can’t see you and there’s no chance of getting caught. Paul seeks larger and larger audiences, hoping someone — anyone — will see them. On the anniversary of their death, Neve agrees to another shot on a busy summertime beach. Is this their time? Just to be seen once would make all the difference…

Don’t be your story’s bitch: a retraction

I wrote a blog entry a couple months ago refuting the idea that characters drive the stories, not the authors. Well, I’m willing to admit when I’ve misspoke, and in this situation, I did. A little, anyway. The take-away of that entry should have been…
