  • You Can Now Get Bitten by Us...

    September 7, 2009

    • Thrilled to say that my story, "The Rookery" is included in the beautiful and terrifying new collection of 'dark erotic stories' edited by Susie Bright. Here's the opening: "The birds in the rookery know when royal sex is being had. They puff out their chests, molt violently and dig their talons into the perch posts. The dust and mites fill the air to choking. Even when hooded, if ...
  • Sex and the e-reader

    August 27, 2009

    • During the mid to late 1990s, virtually all of my reading was done on the New York City subway as I commuted daily from Queens into Manhattan. As anyone who’s ridden the subway during rush hour knows, there is no such thing as personal space on a train. My fellow straphangers, bold as they were, would not only read over my shoulder but actually lean into me to better see what I was reading, and ...
  • "Sex, Religion, and/or Politics"

    August 19, 2009

    • It took over twenty years of writing, finishing several novels, screenplays, and shorts, before I had my first taste of being an author. I began by attempting to sell my literary sci-fi. Armed with a handful of finished works, I set out to take the literary world by storm. After hundreds of rejections, some encouraging but most dismissive, I decided to take a different approach. Maybe I needed to ...
  • She Said WHAT?!

    August 17, 2009

    • She Wrote WHAT?!I’ve known since I was eight or nine that I was a writer. When I wrote my first novel in my mid teens, I was positive that was my path was to follow in the footsteps of the great Stephen King. Back then, had someone told me that my first published works would be erotica and erotic romance, I would have scoffed at the thought: Bashful, timid me? Writing sexually explicit scenes? ...

  • What's in a Definition?

    August 10, 2009

    • I ran into a surprising opinion about my book's classification when one on-line review site listed Romance among the genres it would accept for review, with the caveat that it didn't review erotica.Reading further, I was astonished to find that the review site's definition of erotica was any book where explicit sex occurs on the page. Their reviewer was kind enough to look at the love scenes ...
  • Horrotica with a Bite: THE DARKNESS AND THE NIGHT

    August 4, 2009

    • Readers and reviewers agree: THE DARKNESS AND THE NIGHT trilogy takes vampires to a creatively new level, while still staying true to the vampire mythos. The trilogy is a work of erotic horror, with some romantic elements. If you are looking for a series that is scary, provocative, and eclectically dark, then you're at the right place. This is not another TWILIGHT; my vampires are scary, even the ...
