Voyeur Eyes Only


Voyeur Eyes Only is really a joint project, shared with Essemoh Teepee and Genevieve Ash.  Let me tell you a little about it.


You might remember that I helped organize the first erotica writers conference, ever, last September in Las Vegas.  Well, Essemoh Teepee came up with the idea to produce an anthology, written by the authors who attended the conference, with a Las Vegas theme.  He also suggested that the proceeds from said anthology go to help support the conference.  I agreed to help edit the book.


Essemoh and Genevieve called for the submissions and, after reading them, and making the preliminary selection, they passed them along to me.  The final book contains fourteen stories centered around a central theme of voyeurism.  Here's the table of contents:


1.  The Art of Watching               K D Grace
2.  Private Viewing                      D. L. King
3.  Vegas Lights                           Jade Melisande
4.  Room 1101                             Nik Havert
5.  Zoom In                                 Laura Antoniou
6.  Alone Time                            Cecilia Duvalle
7.  Seeing Clearly                        Genevieve Ash
8.  Sin City                                  Anandalila
9.  Window of Opportunity           Cecilia Tan
10. Dancing Waters                      Nan Andrews
11. The Ice Cube                         Courtney Breazile
12. The Birthday Present              I.G. Frederick
13. The Mist Between Us              Penny Amici
14. Dazzle                                  Dominic Santi


Erotic Encounters in Sin City: Voyeur Eyes Only is published by Xcite Books.  It's available in e and print editions and will also be an audio book!  In fact, you can find an audio trailer (which I am too inept to put on this blog) for your listening pleasure at Genevieve's blog.


Remember, the authors donated their stories to advance the conference and all the royalties go to the conference, as well.  Buy it here.  And if you feel moved, please post a review on Amazon.


And here's an audio teaser for the audio version!

Call for Submissions! Spanking Stories


Spankalicious

Edited by D. L. King
To be published by Ravenous Romance
Deadline: December 26, 2011
Payment: $25 and a copy of the ebook in the format of your choice

D. L. King is looking for hot spanking stories.

What could be more delicious than a toasty, red bottom?  You know who you are.  Whether getting or giving is your passion, a sound spanking is guaranteed to get you there.  Paddles, floggers, canes, spoons, brushes--or how about a bare hand?  That's right: skin against skin.

What do you think of when you think of spanking?  Baring your bum for teacher?  Uncovering that naughty boy's or girl's bottom between the appetizer and the main course?  Your favorite cane lying harmlessly on the bed as clothing is shed at your feet and a breathless "yes, ma'am" is whispered?

Your story can be about more than spanking but it must include spanking.  Send me something guaranteed to make naughty girls and bad boys, the world over, squirm in their seats; something so blisteringly hot that any thought of sitting down will be little more than a memory.

If you're not sure what I like, check out my anthology, Spank!.  All characters must be adults, no underage characters.  Stories should be between 2,000 and 5,000 words, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman.  Indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch and do not include extra lines between paragraphs.  No fancy fonts, no weird sizes, no bizarre formatting and no strange colors, please.

Send your story as a .doc (not .docx) attachment and include the title, pseudonym (if applicable) and your legal name and mailing address torrspankantho@gmail.com  (If you are absolutely unable to send a Word attachment, I will accept an RTF.)  Subject line should read:  Submission: TITLE.  Please include, as a second attachment, a 50 to 75-word bio.  Original stories only.  No reprints.

Ravenous Romance takes first world rights, meaning they will be the first to publish the story, anywhere in the world.  However, the story may be sold again, at anytime, by the writer, as long as Ravenous Romance is credited as the first publisher.  After five years rights revert back to the writer.

Reading at Hustler Hollywood

If you're going to be in Los Angeles Thursday, October 6, come on over to Hustler Hollywood for the erotica reading.  I'll be reading an excerpt from my short story, "The Treatment" in Carnal Machines.  I'm being joined by Kathleen Bradean reading an excerpt from her Carnal Machines story, "Lair of the Red Countess" and Poe Von Page also reading from her Carnal Machines story, "Mutiny on the Danika Blue."


What do all these stories have in common?  Well, yes, they're all in my anthology, Carnal Machines, but there's more, too.  Scanning the room...  Anyone, anyone?  Scanning...  Yes, you there.  You know me, right?  Points at woman in black leather, leaning against the door frame.  Yes!  They're all fem dom stories, that's right!

Now, I don't want you to think that's all you'll get if you show up at Hustler.  We're also being joined by Michelle Janine Robinson and Stan Kent.  I'm not sure what they'll be reading, but I can't wait to hear it.


Stan will be spinning some great sounds and there'll be goodies available at the Hustler cafe.  Hope to see you there.


Hustler Hollywood
8920 Sunset Boulevard
West Hollywood, CA 90069


Free parking behind the store for the duration of the event!

Call for Submissions


Here's a call for submissions from Joan Price, publishing with Seal Press.  

Senior Erotica
Editor: Joan Price
Publisher: Seal Press 
Deadline: February 1, 2012 (earlier submissions preferred)
Payment: $100 on acceptance and 2 copies of the book on publication

Joan Price is seeking erotic stories and memoir essays of high literary quality from writers over age 50, featuring steamy characters also over age 50, for a senior erotica anthology to be published Spring 2013 by Seal Press.

Will this be your typical erotica anthology with a few wrinkles? No, the truth is that we seniors don't respond to the sopping-wet panties and rock-hard erections that are the hallmark of traditional, youth-oriented erotica. Instead, we want erotica that we can relate to, that encompasses the changes and adaptations of age, that acknowledges how we like to be stimulated. Age is accepted, celebrated, and sensually enjoyed. Characters may be having spicy sex with partners they love and have loved for decades; or with new loves or casual encounters; or solo with hands, vibrators, memories, and fantasies.  Although I admit my bias towards erotica that is tender and loving, I’m also looking for edgy and kinky stories for a balanced collection.

Seal Press and I will choose submissions of high literary quality, not just good, explicit sex scenes. Arouse us with a sexy, well-crafted plot we haven't read before, characters who entice us and feel real to us, language that describes sex in a new way. I welcome diversity of all kinds, including race, ethnic background, gender identification, sexual orientation, disability, and every other kind of diversity.

Word length: 1,500-3,000 words, previously unpublished preferred.

Payment: $100 on acceptance and 2 copies of the book on publication.

Submission deadline: February 1, 2012 (earlier submissions preferred). Please submit Word document, double-spaced, Times or Times New Roman font. Authors may submit up to 2 contributions.

Before you submit (right now would be good!), please email me at SeniorErotica@gmail.com with the header “senior erotica submission” and include your 75-100-word bio written in the third person and complete contact information: legal name, pseudonym if applicable, mailing address, email address, and phone. Please include your age, also (which won't be public unless you want it to be). I’ll put you in my database of potential contributors and update you as the project progresses.
