A few years ago, I had the good fortune to nab a copy of Strawberries and Other Erotic Fruits. It's no secret I adore Jerry L. Wheeler, who is both my editor and who has an ability to come up with the most unique themes for his erotica anthologies—be it trains, the circus, or diners—and … Continue reading Short Stories 366:85 — “Necessary Elvis,” by Jerry L.

Failing, Losing, Faking It, Self-Rejection, Earning Out, and other “Fun” Things About 2019
Failing I haven't done a proper writing update much at all this year, as I'm sure both my loyal readers have noticed. To put a fine point on it, the reason is this: 2019 fucking sucked as a writing year for me. And early, that started to feel like failure.

I have more items for my "personal foible" list now (who knew it was possible to be addicted to em-dashes?), but as always, the editing process is my favourite bit: it's where I get to see where … Continue reading Writing Wednesday – Edits!
