NEW RELEASE! Audrey & Lawrence: The Complete Collection

Audrey and Lawrence are so excited to see all their adventures in a single collection, they've created a whole website for it! Okay, so they had a little help from an author friend, but I'm trying to stay humble about my contribution to their great endeavour...LOL

Audrey & Lawrence: The Website

For those who haven't met Lawrence the Librarian and his young mistress Audrey, they've been up to no good for years, spreading their stories all over erotic fiction websites like Oysters and...

The Joke That Started It All

When my girlfriend and I went out for Sunday brunch this weekend, I ordered something I'd never tried before--Eggs Benedict.

"The first of my Audrey and Lawrence stories," I told her, "starts with a joke about Eggs Benedict."

She popped a red grape in her mouth. "What's the joke?"

I didn't want to tell her, at first. My mind was barraged by images of my past and my bed before she was in it, and I remembered the first time I heard the joke. I was young then, like Audrey. Like Audrey, I welcomed a...

Never Too Many Sex Toys

Have I mentioned recently that I can no longer close my night table drawer because it is so jam-packed with sex toys?

Yeah...it's true.

I love sex toys. Vibrators, primarily, but I've got all kinds of stuff in there--a strap-on (Sophia's Red Rider, to be exact), some anal beads, lots of lube...crikey, I don't even know what else is buried in there. Maybe it's time to dig some stuff out.

Oh, silk scarves, *wink wink nudge nudge" some old cock rings, another vibe, a third vibe, latex gloves...a ...

Second Cover for THIRD RAIL

Remember a sensual, moving, amusing, heart-wrenching, authentic transgender story called Third Rail?

"When did I become my own rival for your affections?"

Perhaps it is a touch unusual to have a girlfriend and boyfriend both living in the same body, but Kokoro doesn't classify her relationship with Fiona and Martin as strange. Kokoro rides the third rail, a dutifully subservient lover to both aspects of her transgendered partner's psyche. She goes home with Fiona at night, a...

Friday Night Promo Party!

I follow a blog called "Queer Unity," and every week they have "Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday." On Shameless Self-Promotion Sunday, they open comments up so anybody with a blog, a website, a gallery, or whatever can share it with the community.

I LOVE this idea! I've shamelessly self-promoted there on numerous occasions. This is payback, baby! I want to do the same thing here at Donuts & Desires.

If you're like me, you'll take every opportunity you can find to showcase your latest release...

For All Queer Daughters of Heterocentric Mothers

It's mother's day. I wish I had something uplifting to say about that.

Last year I would have sung my mother's praises. I do love her, and she is quite a nice person overall, but she seems to be having a delayed negative reaction to my queerness.

I came out as queer years ago. Some people don't like that identification. My own girlfriend doesn't. Oh well. It's right for me. Anyway, my queerness isn't something I hide from my family. I don't pretend to be straight. Only now, I'm realizi...
