Calling All Spankos

Has everyone seen this totally cool cover?  


It's my newest anthology and I promise you some great adventures in spanking.  There really is something here for just about every taste.  Spankalicious starts out with a great librarian story by ily.goyanes, but this isn't your normal, run-of-the-mill strict librarian story. This one's got a great twist.  The book ends with a story I'd classify as literary spanking erotica by T. Harrison.  But, here's the thing.  I can't single out any of these stories because I like them all.  


Now here's the best part:


If you agree to write an Amazon review for the book, I'll send you a pdf.  Let me know and your book will be on its way to you just * like * that *. You aren't obligated to write a positive review.  If you don't like it, you're free to say so but, if you agree to accept a copy of the book, you are obligated to review it!  That's fair, though, isn't it?  And I'm fairly confident you'll find something to like about it.  I'm just sayin'...


So, if you want a copy of the book, let me know at dlk0410 at yahoo dot com.

Call for Submissions

That's right, I have a new call for submissions, this time for a book of femdom erotica from Cleis Press.  Just check out my blogspot tag line and I'm sure you'll agree that it's about time for this book.  So folks, you know what I like -- and if you don't, maybe you'd better start reading some of my stuff.  Send me something good, perhaps as a birthday present.*



Under Her Thumb: Erotic Stories of Female Domination
Edited by D. L. King
To be published by Cleis Press
Deadline: April 10, 2012
Payment: $50 plus 2 copies of the anthology

D. L. King is looking for some smokin' femdom erotica.

That's right, and I'm sure you'd agree it's about time.  You know what I like and many of you have been sending it to me in submission for a while now, but now it's time to pull out all the stops: Tell me stories about the first time you realized where your true passions lay--and what you did about it.  Why does a naked, bound submissive get your juices flowing? Guys, tell me what it feels like to be under the thumb of a sexy, dominant woman. What it does to you to have every physical response, every emotion guided and controlled; how the mixture of pain and pleasure brings you to the edge and sends you crashing over.

Tell me about bondage, about cock and ball torture and about goddess worship. Tell me about foot fetishes and rubber, about corsets and bunny slippers. Tell me about all the kinky things your lizard brains can dream up.

Send me stories from female points of view or from male points of view. I want to read stories told by submissives, as well as by dominants. Tell me about husbands and wives and about pro dommes, about lovers and about casual play partners; I want to read it all. This book will be primarily straight, but I'd be interested in seeing some lesbian stories, too.  It should go without saying that characters must be at least 18, no scat, no snuff and, just so you know, I'm not a big fan of water sports or of shrews who yell and scream and treat their men like dirt. Just make me happy--make me wet.

Stories should be between 1,500 and 3,000 words, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman. Please 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, no strange colors, please. Do not put a cover sheet on your story.

Send your story as a .doc (NOT a .docx) attachment and include the title, pseudonym (if applicable) and your legal name and mailing address to thumbantho@gmail.com. The subject line should read: Submission: TITLE. Please include a bio of 50 words or less. Direct any questions to the same address. Original stories only. (If you are absolutely unable to send a .doc attachment, I will accept an rtf.)


* For those in the know, the call deadline just happens to be my birthday.

A blog tour kicks off today, Valentines Day, to promote the release of Voyeur Eyes Only, the Xcite book to benefit the Erotic Authors Association writer's conference.  Let me tell you, conferences are expensive and writers are mostly poor and can use all the help they can get.  Each writer in this book has donated their story and royalties and all proceeds will go towards the conference.  


What does this mean to you? Better erotica!  Sure.  The more we learn, the more encouraged we are, the more we can talk with each other about what we do, the better we write.  So follow the blog tour.  Go out and buy the book!

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!

The deadline has been extended for submitting to Vegas Windows, the audio/ebook of voyeuristic stories to come out of the EAA Writers Conference in Las Vegas this past September.  The deadline is now December 31, so you still have time to get a story in, if you were thinking of doing it.  You even have time the begin thinking of doing it now!

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.
