Don’t get me wrong. Social networking is the best time-waster ever. It’s like reading the Sunday comics or watching the night’s sky for meteors and satellite fly-overs: entertaining and lightly illuminating. And as much as I like being part of Facebook, I have to say FetLife gives me a certain avenue that Facebook doesn’t. (The [...]

That’s why I agreed to show fellow author Alison Tyler my panty drawer. I tidied up and, yes, I think pink goes well with black leather. Looking at my drawer might have you asking other questions, though.
Like what’s with all the cotton briefs and boxers? Well, I spent the first year of my life in [...]

all thanks to Naked City blogger Audacia Ray. She has a regular blog feature called Four Questions and interviewed me recently about a variety of topics, some of which sprain from a discussion we shared at Tristan, Michael’s and Patricia’s book party.
I’m keenly interested in the generational differences and discoveries when it comes to human [...]

last week when I went to Tristan Taormino’s book party in New York City last week. She was celebrating the release of her new book, Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationship, an expansive look at the many configurations that open relationships can take. The party was not, however, hers alone. Tristan [...]

I’m so late in posting this news to Pursed Lips, but I’m pleased to point you to my first significant interview. Fellow author Ashley Lister asked me some keenly targeted questions for the new edition of the Erotica Readers and Writers Association website. And much to my surprise, I discovered I had some expansive answers [...]

The appearance of two pieces — one as op-ed, one as soft news — in the LA Times. One gives Rupert Smith added voice to the recent revelation that he wrote queer erotica when his literary career was flailing while the other profiles literary erotica via Melanie Abram’s Playing. Why? Because the LA Times did [...]

Sounds like a movie sequel, doesn’t it? I doubt it’ll be a dramatic but I’ll settle for entertaining. For a certain someone, however, the memory of this incident might well still conjure up every parent’s 1970s nightmare. And it occurred during my college years.
I had fallen in love with the man who will be forever [...]

I got through the entire winter without a head cold and the minute the weather’s in the 70’s all week? Bam! I get a winner of a cold.
Today’s the first day I’m able to do anything — granted, anything from the couch — and my second Dirty Found almost ready to post. But until I [...]

amid a whole lot of work. It’s been a busy and, at times, trying week. And it looks like I won’t be able to blog in earnest until tomorrow, Thursday. For levity’s sake (and as much to entertain myself), I’ve gone all a twitter here and at my author site. Sadly, the box at this [...]

When I travel, I always try to visit local independent and/or used bookstores. Last month, I did (of course!) the obligatory tourist visit to Powells Books in Portland, Oregon. What an amazing place – book heaven!
Its erotica section was impressive. Two or three bookcases stocked full of recent releases and a smattering of older, used [...]
