#workinprogress

It’s been a weird year for any number of reasons, but after not having anything new out in the first half, I’m set up to have a busy finish.

Wicked Little Miracles is out, a collection of stories from Exceptional Erotica, including my “Fuck the Rich.” (not technically new, but seems to be finding a wider audience)

Summer Teases 3 is out on August 3rd! This is my …4th? time appearing in an anthology with the Erotica Consortium/Erotic Celebrations team, and my first time coordinating one. A fantastic, if hair-raising, learning experience already, and I still need to format the print edition. (Was I trying to submit fixes to a handful of typos THREE SECONDS before Amazon locked the pre-order file? Mum’s the word.) My entry “Atomic Summer” has me up to my usual shenanigans, homage to campy/pulpy films of yesteryear, hot threesome with a telepath, anxiety about LLMs, you know the drill.

Absolute Filth: When You Only Have Time for the Good Stuff volume 1 is out on August 10th! And Volume 2 is out October 12th! These are edited by Olivia Lawless and Christian Pan from EC, and the focus is high-heat stories that cut to the chase. “Bank Job” appears in volume 1 (More group sex, no telepathy. Just a smidge of anti-capitalism, you know, for spice) and my entry for the second, BDSM-themed volume, is called “Erotic Re-direction and Training Services.” There just MAY be more volumes in this series TBA too… 👀

I just signed the contract, and the book is announced, so I think I can tease my appearance in Christian’s “Best Bi Erotica of the Year Volume 3”, which will be out September 23rd for Bi Visibility day! “Touchy Negotiations” is about a corporate headhunting trip that goes into territory the head of human resources should not approve… let alone participate in. You can catch up with volumes 1 and 2 in the meantime.

And there are still more projects I can’t talk about quite yet, including 2 winter seasonal stories, something fairy-tale-ish, and of course, a spooky little treat.

Can talk about but on the back burner for now: My very gay portal fantasy novella, “The Artificer, the Roué, & the Demon”; the horny clone book.

My Golden Pigtail award-winning story “Fuck the Rich” is featured in the extremely spiffy “Wicked Little Miracles” a collection of 18 of the best (they said it, not me) stories originally published by Exceptional Erotica.

Just look at that cover, y’all. whew.

I have three, count ‘em, three stories accepted for anthologies that I hope to announce soon, and pitches accepted for two more anthologies.

I’m also lightly curating Summer Teases 3 with my friends at the Erotica Consortium, and so far the announced list of contributors includes JK Mill, Christian Pan, Saddletramp1956, Ian D Smith and Scarlet Lee Winters.

Oh, and me. My novelette “Atomic Summer” is a loving tribute to classic B-movie scifi, with a UFO, monsters, and a MacGuffin. And is there telepathic sex? Yes, Virginia, there is telepathic sex.

And! We still have more contributors to announce for ST3.

And then, after all this anthology action settles down, I will be unleashing my novella The Artificer, The Roué, and the Demon. It’s another portal fantasy, and features a 900-year age gap. (waggles eyebrows suggestively)

(That lovely moody cover is by Dae Storm)

And sometime after that, have I promised a horny clone book? Yes, I have promised a horny clone book.

(the cover is by me. I will probably change it before publication though, because this doesn’t necessarily scream queer? and this book? extremely queer.)

And also! I believe that I licensed heavily retouched photos of multi-pack man and wasp-waist lady. But I am not 100% sure at this point that they may not have been generated with so-called “AI” tools and I am not down with that shit in any shape or form.
