Bitten: Dark Erotic Stories includes "The Rookery"

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 there’s sex going on, the hawks are agitated and the falcons burst into screeching -- not a sound you want indoors ringing off stone walls. Unless you’re my father, Grand Falconer, head of the hunt team and an honored man in the Duke’s employ, who revels in the screeching and mayhem, clues to a puzzle he is determined to crack..."

Susie had an article in the Huffington Post on the rise of dark erotica now that Twilight is all the rage. Here's the link.
