Can I Ask You A Question?

Hey Everybody,
I might have mentioned I'm going back to my roots this year and writing the kind of erotica I like rather than writing what the market demands. My first love is lesbian kink, so that's my focus. Yes, I'm still writing other stuff and meeting calls for submission, but my primary attraction is to women and my favourite genre in the erotic sphere is lesbian erotica, so... I'm ba-a-a-ack!
And I have a question.
It's pretty easy to answer.
Recently, I wrote what is undoubtedly the smuttiest story I've ever produced. It's called "Nanny State" and it'll be published by eXcessica at the very end of March 2012. I'm really excited about this one. It's got so much going for it, smut-wise: age play, lesbian threesomes, breast worship, spankings, discipline, and even some that's not for the faint of heart.
I'm making the cover myself, and I was super-pleased with the first one I came up with until I revisited it and found the "Princeton Lettering" font I'd been looking for to begin with. Now I've got two options and I'm torn between them.
Can you help me out? I've posted a little poll widget in the sidebar (over there =>) near the top, right underneath the "someone I [heart] is trans" button. I would appreciate it like crazy if you could take a look and vote on which you like best.
Thank you in advance! Here are the covers:
Nanny State Cover #1

Nanny State Cover #2

So which do you like best? Vote at the side. If you have any suggestions, feel free to comment. I'm not a pro with the software, but I do what I can.
Thanks again!Hugs,Giselle--

It's the "With Love" Valentine's Day Blog Hop

One day I'll get this right.

I try, I really do.
Until I met my Sweet, I was never much of a romantic. I thought Valentine's Day was hyper-commercialist bullpoopy--which, realistically, it is--but now that I have this wonderful girl to spoil, I actually REALLY enjoy it.
I LOVE giving my girlfriend presents, especially jewelry. But at my core, I'm still the same kid who used to make my mom bead necklaces for her birthday. To me, the best gifts are those that represent time and identity. I like stuff that's unique, and the best way to secure a one-of-a-kind gift is to make it yourself.

Right...?
Maybe I just really suck at making jewelry, but to this day I've never seen my girl wear anything I've crafted for her. I try to make stuff that reflects her taste, but I don't know if I've succeeded. I've bought her three rings in the time we've been together (mainly because I have no idea how to make a ring LOL), and she wears them all the time. There's one she wears every single day. The store-bought jewelry, she wears.
But I'm not giving up, not yet. I went to my local bead store, picked up some awesomeness, and made Sweet a bracelet. It looks SUPER cool. Did I get it right? Will she like it? Will she wear it?
Only time will tell. But seriously--cross your fingers for me, because I don't have a great track record with this stuff. LOL

Thankfully, my track record with writing is a lot better. And, just in time for V-day, I've got a new ebook on the market--a reissue, actually, of a work originally published as All in a Valentine Day's Work. It's back as GOOD BI VALENTINE, available pretty much anywhere you'd want to buy an ebook:

Good Bi Valentine By: Giselle Renarde
Published By: Excessica Publishing

Spend Valentine's Day with Lexi the Sexi Superintendent and her apartment building full of very naughty tenants.

Lexi the Sexi building superintendent (okay, assistant super) thinks she's taking Valentine's Day by storm. She doesn't do "romance" or "relationships." Casual sex with attractive tenants is more her style. After an exhausting porn-watching session with a cute guy in the building, the beautiful Mrs Suraj won't release her until those rusty pipes are fixed. The sexy super comes home to a pussycat pair of college friends desperate for someone to help them out with their Valentine gift to each other: homemade porn!

WARNINGS: This title contains m/f and f/f sex, mild BDSM, and graphic descriptions of cheesy 1980's porn, including but not limited to fluorescent and animal print bikinis. Originally published as 'All in a Valentine Day's Work.'

To read an excerpt or get your copy of GOOD BI VALENTINE for only $1.99, visit such e-tailers as:

New Release: Good Bi Valentine (a satirical sex romp, of course)

Just in time for V-day, I've got a new ebook on the market--a reissue, actually, of a work originally published as All in a Valentine Day's Work. It's back as GOOD BI VALENTINE, available pretty much anywhere you'd want to buy an ebook.

This is a story for all those readers who are saying (right now) "Oh GAWD, not another dumbass Valentine's story!" Believe it or not, Good Bi Valentine is NOT a romance. Nope. It's not. It's a satirical little sex romp, gently and self-reflexively spoofing corny porny 1980's "I'm here to fix your plumbing" videos.

And you know what? It's only $1.99.

Excerpt: Elio asked, "Would you videotape us?"

I nearly did an orange juice spit-take. "Videotape you? Doing what?"

This was such a sweet, shy couple. They couldn't possibly be asking what I thought they were asking.

Natalie lifted a camcorder out of the mauve and dark purple backpack she'd brought into my apartment. "We tried to do it ourselves, but we ended up filming the wall and then the ceiling, and then the third time the whole thing was just a blurry shot of Elio's butt. We can't seem to get it right on our own. We just need someone to hold the camera and keep it on us."

"And maybe get some close-up shots?" Elio added.

"You mean you want me to film you having sex?" I tried very hard to make it sound like I was only clarifying, not to criticizing.

The pair giggled and nodded in unison. Do they do everything in unison?

Kind of crazy that they'd ask some random person, but I liked the idea of spying on this pair through a camera lens. At the same time, I was about to drop dead from hunger and exhaustion. All I really wanted to do was fall into bed and crash.

"This is our Valentine's Day gift to each other," Natalie explained. "We're making our own porn. That way neither of us has to feel like we're being unfaithful if we watch it. Good idea, right?"

"But you don't know me," I found myself objecting. "Wouldn't you be more comfortable doing this with a friend, or at least somebody you've met more than once?"

"No," they replied in unison.

Natalie continued, "That's exactly why we're asking you. We couldn't have sex in front of someone we knew, but we don't know you so we wouldn't mind. Plus, we know how open-minded you are, so you wouldn't laugh at us."

Elio chimed in, "And you wouldn't get turned on because you're...."

Natalie stomped on Elio's foot to keep him from saying anything too stupid.

"A lesbian?" I asked flatly.

Why did everybody think that? Was it my clothes, my hair, or my toolbox?

What Are You Doing To My Mom?!?!?

[image error]

I'm not generally one to over-punctuated, but I've got a cat story that's just begging for a long line of exclamation and question marks. It's a cat story, but it's actually a sex story too. Don't worry--it's not gross.

Okay, so my sweetheart and I were getting it on today and I tend to be pretty noisy in bed, but today I was SUPER loud. Not just "Oh yeah baby," but actually screaming. It was awesome. Good times.

I guess I closed my eyes for a while, because suddenly I wasn't the only one screaming. There were two sets of screams, and I knew the others didn't belong to Sweet, because she's not much of a screamer.

It was the cat. You know I have cats, right? So, it was Mr. Majestic cat, the regal cat, the cat who owns this aparment and everyone in it. He was SCREAMING at us. I've never heard him make a noise like this before. It wasn't exactly a scream, I guess, and it wasn't a growl or a hiss. It was actually more of a moaning meow-bark. It was kind of a cat-fight noise, come to think of it. He kept running down the bed and yelling at Sweet, then running up the bed and screaming at me.

Now, I don't claim to speak cat, but my rough interpretation was something along the lines of:

To Sweet: "What are you doing to my mom?!?!?!"
To Me: "Why are you screaming like that?!?!?!"
To Sweet: "You're hurting her! Unless... oh, don't tell me she loves you! Impossible!"
To Me: "I thought you loved ME! How dare you toy with my tender feline emotions?"

Something like that. Cats are pretty egocentric, so I think that's what he was saying.

Of course, I started laughing because... well, it was just hilarious. But regal kitty cats don't appreciate being laughed at, so he started head-butting my girlfriend at that point, just hurling himself at her, making that weird moaning cat scream the whole time, like "Get off her! She's mine. She's MINE!!!"

Nobody, cat or human, has ever expressed that kind of jealousy or possessiveness of me. Nobody's ever tried to beat up my girlfriend, and certainly not while we were in bed together. If it had been a human doing all this, it would have been frightening I suppose, but because it was a cat, it was funny.

I totally lost it. I couldn't stay in the moment while my cat was cursing and crying and throwing himself at my girlfriend. I collapsed on the bed, laughing hysterically, so I guess ultimately the cat got what he wanted... because I stopped screaming.

I'm trying to think up a moral to this story, otherwise it's just me telling you about my bizarre sex life. I guess the moral is that cats always get their way. Wouldn't you agree?

Hugs,
Giselle

Tough Times for Teens

When I was a teenager, I was looking for something.

The rule in my family was that at 13 years of age, you were allowed to choose whether or not you continued going to church. We were never super-churchy people. In fact, my parents only started bringing me to church when I asked them what God was and they didn't have the answer. I think I was 3 or 4 at the time.

So, after 10-ish years of churchness I decided it wasn't my thing. Luckily, the church we went to was super-progressive and is a hugely we-love-gay, we-love-trans kind of place, so I didn't leave there with any queer guilt. Who needs that?

In my early teens, I remember going to the library and browsing all the books in the spirituality, psychology, and religion sections. I devoured those books. I don't even know how many times I read the Ramayana when I was in high school.

Somewhere in there, the very first Chicken Soup for the Soul book hit the market, and it impacted me tremendously. There was a lot of life shit I was trying to reconcile, particularly around being raised in a family plagued by addiction, but also just around knowing I was... different.

You know me, right? I'm queer. So when I read that Chicken Soup for the Soul had a call for submissions out for a book called Tough Times for Teens, I gravitated back to that part of my life when QUEER was still a 4-letter word. I thought about things that impacted me, things that helped me, and I just kept coming back to the 93-year-old trans woman I met when I was 16 and worked at a discount department store.

My story "Gotta Be This Or That" was selected for inclusion in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times for Teens. If you buy the book, you'll find it in the "Sticks and Stones" section. At its essence, my story is about not fitting in anywhere--a feeling a lot of teens can relate to, I think. It's a story of shameless queerness, particularly genderqueerness, and a reminder of how much we can learn from our LGBTQ elders.

I'm really kind of honoured to be a part of the Chicken Soup family. Those books helped me when I needed them, and all I can hope is that Tough Times for Teens gives the younger generation a whole lot of hope.

Hugs,
Giselle

Six Sentence Sunday: Secret Confessions

Since I've been promoting my new release Secret Confessions: 36 Erotic Encounters for the past 2 days, I might as well keep going with today's Six Sentence Sunday. Secret Confessions is an anthology of letter-style confessional erotica, with stories covering a wide range of sexual encounters.

I've chosen 6 sentences from a story in the book called Fisting for Beginners:

Before I met my boyfriend Andrew, the only image I had in mind of "fisting" was a Mapplethorpe photograph of one beautiful black man with his hand fully inserted inside another beautiful black man's ass. To me, that was "fisting."

I knew Andrew was bisexual before we started dating, and the idea of him with other men always intrigued me. One time, I asked him about Mapplethorpe and fisting. I think my exact words were, "Do people really do that?"

I wanted to know if fisting was a real thing.

Secret Confessions is available from pretty much every retailer of ebooks, including eXcessica Publishing, Amazon, and ARe.

A Little Bit More About Confessions

Yesterday I told you a little bit about my new release, Secret Confessions: 36 Erotic Encounters.

Today I'd like to share a little more about this book of naughty letters: the introduction and complete table of contents.

Introduction
No naughty encounter is ever complete until you tell somebody about it. And who doesn't feel a tingle while reading a naughty story and wondering, "Is this true? Did that really happen?"

There's one quality that unifies all confession-style erotic stories, no matter how sweet or how kinky: they're all written in the first person. (I did this, I did that.) For that reason, when reading these stories, we're particularly inclined to wonder if these stories are true. The author is writing as though they were (I ate her pussy, I sucked his cock), so why wouldn't we believe it?

One of the best things about confession erotica is its unique capability to allow readers to suspend disbelief. When we hear these stories, we trust that we're being told the truth. Even if we try to be rationally and consciously skeptical, we still believe, and there's a bit of magic in that.

So, now I'm sure you're wondering about the confessions in this collection. Are they true? Are they fiction? The answer is yes. Some stories are entirely fictional, pure fantasy. Others draw on real events, but aren't entirely accurate. Of course, names have been changed, to protect the "innocent" parties.

Some stories are true, some are false, some are somewhere in between. Does it spoil the fun that I've made this confession? I don't think so. I still haven't told you which are which.

Before You Buy Secret Confessions

Some people really love letter-style erotic confessions... and some people really hate them.

You know the kind of short stories I mean? They tend to be quickie down and dirty sex stories told in the first person. These "letters" focus on what happened, who touched what and where--wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Maybe they're kinky. Maybe they involve sex between people who shouldn't be having sex together. Maybe they're about a first time, a first experience with a certain type of sex act. Maybe they're about things that seem scary or squicky or gross until you give them a go.

There are entire magazines devoted to this kind of sex story, the erotic letter, and a lot of readers think they're great. And other readers can't stand them, think they're too short, not enough character development, they're all about sex--too much sex!

Well, if you hate erotic letters, please DO NOT BUY my new release, Secret Confessions: 36 Erotic Encounters. Why? Because it's a book entirely devoted to erotic letters. 36 of them, to be exact.

And if you love erotic letters? Hehe... then do I have a book for you!

Blurb~
No naughty encounter is ever complete until you tell somebody about it. And who doesn't feel a tingle while reading a naughty story and wondering, "Is this true? Did that really happen?"

In this collection, you'll find a whopping 36 erotic stories, as explicit as they are wicked! These confessions involve lesbian encounters, exhibitionism, porn appreciation, voyeurism, masturbation and self-love, cheating and deception, threesomes, group sex, sploshing, ice play, public sex, fisting, sex with a loving partner, female fantasies, rimming, anal play, stranger sex, double penetration, spanking, insertions, bondage, and so much more!

EXCERPT:

I'm sleeping with a married man. There. I had to get that off my chest.

You'll understand, I'm sure, if I don't tell you his name. After all, he could be someone you know. Or you may know his wife or his kids. I wouldn't want word to get back to them. And just because he's cheating doesn't mean he's a bad man. He isn't bad, he simply has needs. We all do.

So, what's it like? Well, last Saturday was a perfect example. At 5:30 in the morning, I heard his key in my door. That smooth metallic noise wakes me every time. It's better than an alarm clock. I'd been looking forward to seeing him all week. I look forward to it every week.

He tells his wife he likes to jog early in the morning, before pollution envelops the city. He tells her he enjoys his run better when there are fewer people on the sidewalks, and when the sun hasn't yet risen. These are only half-truths, because he actually does jog all the way from his house to mine. I doubt if his wife even notices anymore when he rolls out of bed before dawn. I doubt if she ever notices him at all. That's fine. I've taken it upon myself to notice him. In fact, I could notice him all day and all night, if I ever had the opportunity.

I emerged from the depths of slumber as he kicked off his shoes in my front hall. I scrambled out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom. When you only get to see your lover once a week, you always want to look and smell and taste perfect. And morning breath is a major turn-off. When I switched off the bathroom light, my eyes couldn't adjust fast enough to the darkness of my bedroom.

I asked, "Where are you?" as I walked straight into him. Ouch. "I couldn't stop thinking about you."

He concurred with his standard stand-by, "Likewise."

"All week I've been waking up and asking myself, 'Is it Saturday yet…?'"

That's all I managed to say before he kissed me. An entire week's worth of kisses in less than one minute.
