About this author

Eroticist, environmentalist, and pastry enthusiast Giselle Renarde is a proud Canadian, supporter of the arts, and activist for women’s and LGBT rights. For Giselle, a perfect day involves watching a snowstorm rage outside with a cup of tea in one hand and a chocolate truffle in the other. Ms Renarde lives across from a park with two bilingual cats who sleep on her head.

The best way to keep up with Giselle's career in erotic fiction, as well as her desirous commentary and hyper-analysis of every facet of social existence, is to visit her Donuts and Desires blog at http://donutsdesires.blogspot.com.

Select blog posts exploring topics of gender and transgender are also available as podcasts at http://gisellerenarde.podbean.com/

Anyhoo, here's the call:

Excerpt from "Red Satin" (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Dec 23, 2009 11:03am
Description: Please enjoy this brief sample from my holiday story, "Red Satin." "Red Satin" is one of my most heartfelt romances including authentic portrayals of transgender characters. Christmas time can be trying enough with the worry of coming out to family, but a supportive girlfriend always helps.

What a beautiful book! I can't even say "needs more lesbians" about this one, because the story does involve one lesbian. But only one. *sighs* I was gearing up for a great lesbian love affair, but, strangely, wasn't disappointed when the narrative t...more

description: The complete collection of Audrey & Lawrence stories hits the market in print and e-book formats today!

An affair is always easy in the beginning. There's plenty of steamy sex and getting-to-know-you. Everything is for now. Immediate gratification. No thought of the future.

That's how it starts for Audrey and Lawrence. Audrey's only concern is helping an unhappy man trapped in a sexless marriage revive the virility of his youth. That approach doesn't last long. As her affection builds, she wan...more
