My apologies. Between holidays travels and the recent but unrelated deaths of two long-time friends, I’ve been a tad overtaxed emotionally and I’m likely to remain so until well after the second funeral has concluded late this week. With that in mind, I’m going to keep it simple and talk dirty books this week. I’ve […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Author/pornographer John Preston passed away. A one-time Advocate editor and creator of the uber-leather master Mr. Benson, Preston left us before protease inhibitors rendered HIV a chronic condition. His collection of essays, My Life as a Pornographer and Other Indecent Acts, was pretty seminal to my interest in writing pornography.* He was among those authors […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A letter from editor/author Alison Tyler telling me that Heat Wave: Sizzling Sex Stories is hitting the stores is ample motivation for me to blog about my latest findings in the lit smut arena. But before I get on with it, let me just say that I’m pleased to be part of this anthology. I […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thought I was all caught up on book news when I discover yet another book’s out with a story of mine in it. The third Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica is out, this time carrying On Hallowed Ground, which originally appeared at Scarlet Letters. I must admit, I get a lot of satisfaction each […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The links have been piling up, telling me it’s time I gave my colleagues their due and listed the latest in books news. Of course, I have to lead off with plugs about books I’m in, however shameless that might be. So I’m pleased to announce that Best Lesbian Erotica 2004 has earned a Lammy […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. One of my late mother’s favorite sayings. I heard it a lot as a kid and as a dreamer of Big Things. Nontheless, I’m tempted to run out and buy a scratch and sni– scratch and win I mean, lottery ticket, just to see if I could pony […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
to hear my friend and colleague Kate Dominic, author of Any 2 People, Kissing,on the Derek and Romaine Show. I wonder if she’ll talk about those two particular people who kissed on an awards show recently. You know who I mean. (Hermits excused.) Yet another ebook reprint effort: Yes Portal points to readmagic.com, which reprints […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
drive home the point. I’m sure I saw mention of Catherine Breillat‘s early fame as a teen pornographer, but until I saw a American paperback edition of her A Man for the Asking (aka L’Homme Facile), I couldn’t connect with how she really burst on the French scene long before her sexually frank movies did.

One of my favorite authors getting some regional press. I’ve mentioned Mr. Gertzman here on a couple of occasions here and I consider his book a must read if you’re interested in censorship issues or the history of marginalized publishing (aka pornography). Yeah, it’s hard to think of pornography as a marginalized commodity these days, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
