I should have called it "The Demon, The Biker and the Puppy Portraitist"
Have you been waiting... anticipating... the arrival of Monstrous Obsession?
Of course you have!
Well, my erotic novella of sex and love and demonic possession is NOW AVAILABLE, so what are you waiting for? Go buy a copy!
Oh, you want to know a little more about it?
Well, first off, it's got an amazing cover by a brilliant graphic designer:
Yeah, that was me.
And then it's got this blurb:
Artemis has never relied on a man for anything. When she moves in with her biker boyfriend Budd and his teenaged son Vincent, she worries she’s losing her independence. Little does Artemis know the moment she sets foot inside Budd’s big house, family dynamics will be the least of her worries.
Something strange lives in Budd’s creaky old house, and it’s far more powerful than any human being. Artemis senses it watching her. She feels it when, out of the blue, a slimy monster tongue licks her neck. She watches it possess every man who looks her way. How could she anticipate the intense, horrific evil she would encounter in Budd’s home?
To save her new family from an obsessive monster, Artemis must learn to accept help from the man who loves her. Can she swallow her pride… before it’s too late?
An erotic novella with a generous helping of horror from award-winning author Giselle Renarde.
And then there's this excerpt you can read:
Closing her eyes, Artemis rested against the wall, listening to Budd and Vincent’s deep voices somewhere in the house. She couldn’t hear what they were saying, but it was obviously about her. Sometimes she felt like she’d never be wanted anywhere she ended up.
That thought was pushed from her mind by a voice even deeper even than Budd’s. Growling, violently, it said, “You’re mine now.”
Artemis jumped up from the floor, looking all around the room. She felt like somebody was in there with her, but she couldn’t see anyone. Tentatively, she opened the large wooden wardrobe, half expecting one of Vincent’s squirrelly friends to jump out at her. It was empty, except for a little wooden box with strange words carved all around the sides. Curiosity erased the tension of the moment, but as she lifted the lid, shivers ran down her spine. The dread returned, even though the box was empty.
Something was in the room with her, watching her. She was sure of it. Something disturbing and malevolent. The hair stood up all along her arms. She felt like she’d been licked up and down her neck by a dirty old man, and she wiped it with the sleeve of her shirt, again and again, convinced she was removing someone’s saliva from her skin.
The bedroom door squealed open, and she screamed.
Budd chuckled. “Jumpy, jumpy!”
“Sorry, I thought I… heard something.” Artemis shook her head, then pressed the ill-fitting lid back on the wooden box. “I don’t know.”
And then there are all these places where you can buy the book--digitally, or in print!

Pegging Mayor Pigman of Hogtown
My live-in sock puppet may have her own blog now (dancefordaddy.blogspot.com), but Donuts and Desires gets waaaay more hits, so Lexi Wood came crawling back to Mama.
That's right. She asked me to feature her weird new Femdom gangbang abduction and sissification (and pegging) story Pegging Mayor Pigman of Hogtown. I know what you're thinking, but this ebook is definitely NOT about Rob Ford. It doesn't even mention him once!
So what if the main character is half-man/half-pig and happens to be mayor of a place called Hogtown? Doesn't mean Lexi wrote it about anyone in particular. She totally didn't. She's never even heard of the guy.
Anyhoo...
Pegging Mayor Pigman of Hogtown:
Definitely NOT a Political Parody involving Femdom, Bondage and Erotic Humiliation
by Lexi Wood
When Madame Dartmore’s feminist sex workers’ co-op is put out of business by Hogtown’s drunken Mayor Pigman, the multicultural group of proud independent entrepreneurs takes action. The stage is set. The dungeon is stocked with a Sissy Kit, bondage equipment, and dildo shoes. If the gang of pros must leave the city they love, they’re going out with a BANG.
This is a weird work of erotic fiction. Characters in this strange story are not intended to represent real people in any way. Any resemblance to actual persons, notorious mayors or pigmen is entirely coincidental.
No pigmen were harmed in the writing of this comedy.

Another Book Banned by Google Play
Last week I told you Google Play had removed two of my books from sale (you should read my blog post--it's pretty ridiculous), and today another one's been taken down: My Mistress' Thighs, an anthology of erotic transgender fiction and poetry.
Same reason: "We do not allow sexually explicit terms or excerpts in the titles or descriptions of books."
I'm guessing I must have listed the table of contents in addition to the blurb, because there's a story in this collection called "Cock for a Day." Aside from that, I don't know what their issue would be. But, honestly, Google Play is banning books for COCK? It's not as stupid as last week's this-cum-that example, but it's still... gah! Corporate censorship.
Google Play is officially worse than Amazon. Congratulations! What an amazing achievement.
If you'd like to buy My Mistress' Thighs: Erotic Transgender Fiction and Poetry, it's available like everywhere on the planet except Google Play. Kobo also banned it last year. I don't remember if they unbanned it, but this happened about a month after Kobo threw indie authors under the bus by removing ALL our books and also saying derogatory things about erotica writers, so... yeah.
Anyway, what was I saying? Oh right, about this banned book:
Rainbow Awards Honourable Mention
A cross-dressing cowboy, a post-war pin-up, and a wolf in grandmother's clothing all find a special home in My Mistress' Thighs.
This collection of erotic trans and genderqueer fiction makes room for everyone. There's a secret solstice sacrifice, a case of spring fever, an online romance, and a Wednesday night dinner routine that's anything but dull.
From the timid closet dresser of Love in the Time of Instant Messenger to the post-op rodeo queen of Leslie Goosemoon Rides Again, all who seek love find it in the world of Giselle Renarde Erotica.

Google Cum Amazon (Their loss is your gain. And by gain, I mean free book)
Your free gift for being human!Yesterday I got an email from Google Play telling me they've removed two of my books from sale. One is that My MILF or Yours? collection that came out in... March? I think? The other is the second edition of my lesbian threesome paranormal erotic romance Oubliette.These books were removed... why, exactly?
The "Notice of book removal from Google Play" said as follows:
REASON FOR REMOVAL: We do not allow sexually explicit terms or excerpts in the titles or descriptions of books.
Let's look at Oubliette, shall we? That story is pretty tame, as far as lesbian ghost threesomes are concerned. I was pretty sure the marketing materials were more paranormal romance than smutty porn language...
So I looked it up:
Miranda and Saba always fight on vacation. They even miss the ghost walk at their castle cum luxury resort because they're too busy arguing. When they stumble upon a mysterious woman in need of help, the couple brings Oubliette to their room. Where did this strange girl come from? And does Oubliette have the power to reunite two lovers who’ve been at each other's throats all night?
Hmm... so looks like Google's got their knickers in a twist over a little cum. A little Latin cum, at that. There are literally NO naughty words in this blurb. Cum can be a naughty word, but not this usage. It's totally innocuous.
The email/notification goes on to say: "If you're able to replace the explicit title or description from your books' listings, you may re-enable the books for sale."
Guh? It's NOT explicit. Train your robots to read context. And sure I could rephrase my blurb so it doesn't use a totally NOT naughty word that tripped up your algorithms, but you know what? Oubliette hasn't sold a single copy at Google Play, so...
I didn't think Google would turn into Amazon so quickly, but I know a few authors whose entire accounts have been shut down because they'd published pseudoincest erotica (explicit stories about stepdaughters and the stepdaddies they love) or other FORBIDDEN TOPICS! Even Amazon doesn't close your account for something like that.
But if there's one thing these ebook retailers all seem to have in common, it's that they're constantly changing the rules and never telling authors precisely what's going on. I'm too tired to even complain about it anymore. Pretend I've just said "Censorship, blah blah blah, rant, gah!"
So, you know what? I'm giving you Oubliette. Free. Sorry you can't get it from Google Play. Their loss is your gain.
Get your free copy of Oubliette from Smashwords (limited time only): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/424122 Enjoy!
Oh, and to finish up that removal notice, Google tells me:
Please review your book catalog and remove any other books that violate our content policies. Failure to comply with these policies may result in suspension or removal from the program.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Sincerely,
The Google Play Books Policy Enforcement Team
(By the way, readers, while you're at Smashwords, anyone want to suggest why Google has removed My MILF or Yours? https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/402910 Honestly, your guess is as good as mine!) Giselle Renarde

I Am Such A Tease! (Actually, I'm not... get your free monster sex right here!)
Monstrous Obsession is a real departure, for me. I've never written anything like it. The 20,000-word novella is a ghost story, of sorts. The house Artemis moves into with her biker boyfriend Budd is haunted by an extremely powerful incubus. This demonic spirit can take over men's bodies and make them... do things... to Artemis. If you don't like rapey monsters, this is not the book for you. (And if you do, it is.)
Artemis has never relied on a man for anything. When she moves in with her biker boyfriend Budd and his teenaged son Vincent, she worries she’s losing her independence. Little does Artemis know the moment she sets foot inside Budd’s big house, family dynamics will be the least of her worries.
Something strange lives in Budd’s creaky old house, and it’s far more powerful than any human being. Artemis senses it watching her. She feels it when, out of the blue, a slimy monster tongue licks her neck. She watches it possess every man who looks her way. How could she anticipate the intense, horrific evil she would encounter in Budd’s home?
To save her new family from an obsessive monster, Artemis must learn to accept help from the man who loves her. Can she swallow her pride… before it’s too late?
An erotic novella with a generous helping of horror from award-winning author Giselle Renarde.
I was about to do a cover reveal for this upcoming release when I realized I don't even have a pre-order link to give you yet. If I did a cover reveal, you'd be like, "Hey, nice cover but what's it doing for me RIGHT NOW? Nothing! That's what. So thanks a bunch."
Right? Isn't that what you'd say?
Well, I am particularly proud of that cover, but if the spooky-ass image made you want to read the book and I said, "Sorry, it doesn't come out until May 15th," then I'd feel like a big tease.
If there's one thing I'm not, it's a tease.
So here's what's happening:
I'm offering review copies to YOU, you wonderful people who stop by my blog to check out what's happening. I appreciate you SO MUCH. I really do. I want to give you a free copy of Monstrous Obsession in exchange for an honest review posted on Amazon, once it's available. It isn't up yet. Not until May 15th.
If you don't have an Amazon account, you can leave your review at Barnes and Noble.
What do you have to do? It's easy!

(I don't like asking people to post their email addresses so all the world can see--that's why I use SurveyMonkey)I'll send you an ADVANCE pdf copy of Monstrous Obsession on or before May 10th, 2014.Read the book.Any time after May 15th, when it goes live to the general public, you can post your honest review!
That's it! You're done, with my thanks!
Please only request a review copy if you enjoy reading in this genre. There's nothing worse than those reviews that are like, "I hate erotica and this is erotica, so I hate it." Actually, there are worse reviews than that, but anyway... Monstrous Obsession is intense stuff. I won't pretend it's sunshine and lollipops. It's not. Be trigger forewarned.

Excerpt (from The Other Other Woman):
Michael swallowed hard. Sipping his G&T, he looked off in the direction Garret had gone. They both did. There was no sign of him.
“Garret gets nervous, at times. It isn’t insensitivity, it’s only that he doesn’t know quite what to say.” Michael took another sip, then set down his glass and turned it counter-clockwise. “Garret and I worked very, veryclosely at one time. I don’t know if he mentioned I’m his assistant at the office.”
“He didn’t mention anything,” Edith replied, trying not to snap at him. It was Garret she was upset with, leaving her alone with a stranger.
“Don’t be too hard on Garret. He’s one of the gentlest, loveliest men I’ve ever known.”
As Edith pondered the guy’s blond curls and boyish good looks, an image took her from behind: an image of his cherubic pink lips against Garret’s, of his manicured hands unbuttoning Garret’s pressed white shirt.
Edith gasped. “You’re the other other woman!”
“Something like that,” he replied, with a forlorn grin. “You’re disappointed.”
“That bastard!” Edith smacked her hand against the table with such force a bolt of pain shot through her fingers. “I can’t believe he lied to me.”
“He lied?”
“Well, I assumed he’d had an affair with another woman, and he didn’t correct me.” She massaged the pang from her knuckles. “Don’t you think he should have told me I was wrong? Now I feel like a complete idiot.”
“You mustn’t feel that way.” Michael touched his fingertips to hers. “You’re quite right—he should have advised you what to expect. Don’t be too hard on him, though. He’s only trying to give you what you asked for.”
“This is nowhere near what I asked for,” Edith snapped. When Michael’s expression dropped, she immediately regretted her harsh tone. “I’m sorry. It’s not you.” His eyes welled with tears, so she broke down a bit. “Tell me something about you and Garret. What was it like between you two?”

Yippy for IPPY! "Under Her Thumb" takes the Silver in Erotica
The results of the 18th Annual Independent Publisher Book Awards ("Recognizing Excellence in Independent Publishing") have been announced and it turns out the silver medalist in Erotica is a Cleis anthology called "Under Her Thumb." If you've read it, you might recall my story, Suffer.
To say I'm humble about this sort of thing is a drastic understatement. My self-esteem is so low that I always think, "Oh, they must have overlooked my terrible terrible story and awarded this honour on the strength of everybody else's work." I had the same reaction when "Take Me There" won a Lambda Literary Award. Actually, I've had stories in a lot of award-winning anthologies and I always dismiss my contribution.
It's so much fun living in my brain, guys. It's just a blast.
At least I can laugh at myself. Kind of.
Anyway, here's a bookish selfie of "Under Her Thumb" and me in the "spank me hard" outfit I happen to be wearing for my girlfriend. (Mission accomplished, by the way. She's realized that its hurt the most when she spanks my outer thighs, so now she zeroes in on them until I'm screaming, "No! No! Nooo!" And she also somehow got me upside-down enough to slap my asshole, which I think was an accident, but holy guacamole--that smarts!)
Nerd.
Huge congrats to my pal Alison who took the gold in Erotica, and to my pal Jeremy who took the Bronze. Gee, I've got a lot of pals in this industry!
Here are the results:
EroticaGold: Dark Secret Love: A Story of Submission, by Alison Tyler (Cleis Press)
Silver: Under Her Thumb: Erotic Stories of Female Domination, Edited by D.L. King (Cleis Press)
Bronze: The Pleasure Dial, by Jeremy Edwards (1001 Nights Press)
And, just so's ya know, you can now purchase my story "Suffer" (the one that was featured in Under Her Thumb) as a cute little ebook. Ain't she tweet?
You can SUFFER at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JSYTI7K Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/430413All Romance Ebooks: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-sufferfemdombdsmerotica-1482889-362.html...and plenty of other retailers.

Big News: Friday Night Lipstick Large Print Edition is now available!
Who the hell is gonna buy a love story about elderly transsexuals?
A lot of people, as it turns out. My erotic romance Friday Night Lipstick is quite a short book, clocking in at only 13,000 words or so, but it's one of the most heartfelt, sweet and satisfying love stories I've ever written. The characters are drawn from my life. They're older women, they're transgender, and they're very real to me.
I never expected this novella to take off, but in March it was my top-selling print book. Say what? And in April? Same thing! Say whaaat?
For months, I've been wanting to make some of my books available in Large Print. My grandmother's been reading Large Print for years as her vision declined, and even now that she's legally blind she still reads them by holding the books very close to her face. She has assistive devices and she could start up with ebooks or audiobooks, but she doesn't want to.She likes to hold a book in her hands, even if she has to get right in close to see the words.
I've come up against a lot of barriers in trying to get audiobooks produced (it's weirdly difficult for Canadians, sadly) but I can get Large Print books to market.
Friday Night Lipstick: Large Print Edition is now available. If there's a book of mine that you'd particularly like to see in Large Print, please do let me know!
Friday Night Lipstickby Giselle Renarde
When Layla and Bernice first met, they'd never heard the word "transgender." Back then, they thought of themselves as cross-dressers and frequented gay clubs together.
Twenty years later, Layla is a glamorous and successful real estate agent living as a woman full-time. Repressed Bernice is still married to a woman who won't let go of the husband Bernice used to be. She spends her lonely nights dreaming of a life with lovely Layla.
While Bernice is trapped in a hopeless relationship, Layla seems perfectly content hopping from bed to bed. On Friday night, when their facades break down, will these long-time friends finally admit their love for one another?
And even if they do, how will married Bernice and swinging single Layla build a future together?
This transgender love story contains explicit erotic language. Large Print Edition.

Spend the Weekend With Family: Adam and Sheree's #Taboo Family Box Set!
If you haven't delved into Adam and Sheree--my extremely taboo brother/sister incest erotica series--then I'm about to give you the perfect excuse to try it. Until now, if you wanted to read the entire series, you had to buy all three novellas separately. They're $4.99 each.
Now you can buy the whole 100,000-word collection as Adam and Sheree's Family Box Set and it's only $9.99. That's a steal!
This is it! Everybody’s favourite brother/sister incest erotica trilogy is finally available in one convenient collection. That’s three taboo tales to tease your mind and tantalize your senses. We’re talking forbidden sex, seductive secrets, and illicit family drama. Adam and Sheree are ready for you—are you ready for them?
Adam and Sheree’s Family Vacation
Adam and Sheree are stuck at Gramma’s remote cottage all summer. No internet access, no cell reception. It’s just the two of them, brother and sister, taking care of good ol’ gran.
When Sheree takes off her bikini top in the lake, what’s Adam supposed to do? By the time she strips off her bottoms, all traces of self-control are lost.
Once brother and sister start scratching their taboo itch, there’s no hope of stopping. Just when Adam is convinced remorse will eat him alive, Sheree’s boyfriend and Adam’s girlfriend arrive for a surprise visit. Life is about to get really good, or very, very bad. Either way, Adam and Sheree will never be just brother and sister again.
Adam and Sheree’s Family Business
After a summer of forbidden love, Sheree crashes at the townhouse Adam shares with a motley crew of college students. He tries his damnedest to keep his hands off his sister, but he just can’t help himself.
When Sheree starts a sordid family porn business behind his back, Adam can’t believe how she’s taken advantage of him. Will he kick his sister to the curb or choose to be used in every way possible?
Adam and Sheree’s Family Christmas
When Adam and Sheree head home for the holidays, it goes without saying they won’t tell their parents they’ve been at it like bunnies.
As if it wasn’t hard enough to keep his hands off Sheree for an entire week, Adam stumbles upon his sister’s old diary. Its contents shock him right to the core. Did Sheree really seduce their uncle while he and their aunt were on the outs?
Adam can’t help feeling betrayed. He thought he was his sister’s first incestuous lover. And Uncle Brian’s not the only family member who’s been in his sister’s bed…
WARNING: This trilogy is packed with forbidden sex, unthinkable threesomes, and all types of taboo encounters between consenting legal adults.
BUY IT NOW (and that's an order!) from Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/431612
or Barnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/adam-and-sherees-family-box-set-giselle-renarde/1119322689?ean=2940045850100
