Emmanuelle de Maupassant and Cautionary Tales

Every once in a while, I stumble across a writer who seems to come from another time, a time before Fifty Shades of Grey and the endless stream of imitators that followed. Back to the days when strong, intelligent women with darkly-woven souls wrote thought-provoking, deep, and literary works of fiction. 



Women like Sylvia Plath, Anais Nin, and Mary Shelley. The kind of women men feared and

Underwater Explorations

Eden, my science fiction story inspired by The Twilight Zone, will appear in Underwater, The book cover reveal is today. The anthology releases sometime this fall.

Here's the official blurb:

When was the last time you came face-to-face with a mermaid?

Ever explore a hidden underwater cave or been haunted by an unearthly creature? Did that passionate childhood fantasy turn into a real, sexy

I Like to Watch

When Rose Caraway, 

AKA, The Sexy Librarian, includes your story in an anthology, it's kind of a big deal. No, it's a really big deal.



So, I am extra tickled to say I Like to Watch is in her new book, Tonight, she's Yours, GET IT NOW

Gifts, all Year

One of the best things about being a writer is sharing the love of books with others. This year, I'm thankful to every friend who helped me plot, every beta reader who found a typo or mistake (silver for vampires, anyone?) or spent their valuable book time reading or reviewing something I wrote. I am especially grateful to the Facebook beta-readers and writers group "The Slush Pile" for hooking

Bespelled: Tales of a Vampire Hunter - Sneak Preview

The thrilling conclusion to the bestselling "Tales of a Vampire Hunter" series. 


Oliver Ripley is older, wiser, and harder . . . a vampire hunter mutant drowning in pain and excess and guilt, hell-bent on punishing himself and taking down as many vampires as possible in the process. Once more, his enemies draw close, setting an irresistible trap. But, Oliver no longer wants to run. A

Under a Perfect Sun Excerpt

Any zombie fan can imagine loving a zombie. Who didn't cry when Carl had to shoot Laurie in The Walking Dead, even though we all hated her? But Lust? For a zombie? Uh. No. No matter what. I've never read a book or seen a movie or TV show where I had even a fleeting attraction to any zombie character (and I've read and seen them all because, like so many people, I love a good zombie story). So

C.M. Brown's Review of IMMORAL

After attacks by a weird, crazy writer, and a bunch of religious trolls, it was so nice to see this review of IMMORAL: Tales of a Vampire Hunter by fantasy author C.M. Brown:

Oliver Ripley is a Vampire Hunter and so are the rest of his family, but to kill vampires these hunters don't use stakes, garlic or holy water, No, they kill vampires during a good old romp in the hay, where their soul

Love, Lust and Zombies Cover Art

The paperback version is now available for pre-sale on Amazon, though it won't ship until September 2015. Mitzi Szereto is, hands down, my favorite editor, so I know this one will include some killer stories.

"Let’s face it: zombies are hot, and baby, they’re getting hotter. Although not the most traditional of sex symbols, zombies are truly coming into their own, even landing on the silver

The Edge - Zander Vyne Has Jumped Off

I started this blog in 2006 with a post about the state of erotica, and my concerns over where things were headed with publishers and editors jumping on the porno bandwagon. Though most of my fears were realized in the last couple of years, a few editors remain who consistently put out strong collections of short, erotic fiction. Lovers of literary erotica (and just fine writing) should follow
