Question for Readers
So... I got kicked off Google's ad thingy because, well, this is a sex blog. I would like to make a few pennies off of this space, and one way I could do that is featuring sponsored posts. Would that annoy anyone? What if I promise to only post about things I actually like? Please let me know.

Erotica 101: In the Cut by Susanna Moore
I'm not going to do formal reviews of the stuff I'm reading for this project, but I am going to write down some stray thoughts as I go. I started with In the Cut, because BBC's Sherlock has me in the mood for mysteries and thrillers. (Seriously, though, the third season of Sherlock can't come soon enough. *sobsob*)
So, this book... It's been following me around for the last week or so. I devoured it pretty quickly. Moore has this dreamy style that at the same time comes across as harsh and black-and-white. It's very noir, very sexy, and very very dark. I still don't know if I'd read it again. I was stunned by the ending, although I really shouldn't have been.
A major theme in Cut was word play, and the meaning of words, and the power of slang. As a word nerd, this only made the book sexier for me. The narrator is constantly weighing the power and beauty of words, deciding whether each one is good or bad, parsing its origins, trying to make sense of her ludicrous situation using them. (Boy, I really wrote myself into a subject-verb agreement corner right there. Nevermind. This is my blog, and I'm choosing bad grammar. Nyah.)
Yeah, I would probably read it again, but only if I was in a pretty good mood to start with. In the Cut is definitely not a book to read if you're bummed out. Totally worth it, though. Beautiful book. However, next I'm going to read something a little more lighthearted.

Erotica 101. Or, How I Got My Perv Back
It should probably come as no surprise that I'm something of an erotica enthusiast. I mean, yes, I make a newsletter every weekday about erotica that requires me to flip through about a thousand blog entries; and, yes, I edit erotica for Circlet Press, which is about as iconic as erotica publishers go. However, it's not just a job for me. I once seduced a man by explaining to him the relevance of erotica as a literary genre. I'm not even kidding. So, my love for this stuff goes deep.
Which is why it's alarming when I start to feel burned out about it. Lately, I've been bad about getting the newsletter out on time, getting my daily quota of editing done, and even about answering my emails. Sometime around two this morning I decided something needed to be done. Erotica and I need to fall in love again.
For inspiration, I turned to Susie Bright's brilliant How to Write a Dirty Story. In it, she has a reading exercise that encourages the reader to explore all facets of erotic fiction. Her list of recommended reading is as follows.
Erotic Romance: The Lady's Tutor by Robin Schone, Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers
Erotic Sci-Fi: Cecilia Tan, Anything from Circlet Press, Crash by J.G. Ballard
Gothic: Anne Rice writing as A.N. Roquelaure
Horror: Lucy Taylor, Poppy Z. Brite
Plain Brown Wrapper: Anything by Anonymous, Penthouse Letters
Victorian: The Pearl, A Man and a Maid
Women's Erotica; Herotica, Fear of Flying, Delta of Venus
Modern Classics: Henry Miller, Lady Chatterley's Lover
The Classic: The Story of O
Mystery/Thriller: In the Cut, the Noirerotica series
Lesbian: Pat Califa, Tristain Taormino, Hot and Bothered
Gay: John Preston, John Rechy, Flesh and the Word, Aaron Travis
So, eliminating Stuff I've Read, Stuff I Don't Own, and People I Work For (and have therefore read extensively), here's my reading list:
Crash by J.G. Ballard
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Penthouse: Naughty by Nature
The Way of a Man with a Maid
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
In the Cut by Susanna Moore
If anyone feels I'm missing something (and wants to donate an e-copy of that something to me ;-) please let me know. I'll post updates as I read through.

Lately, I've been bad about getting the newsletter out on time, getting my daily quota of editing done, and even about answering my emails. Sometime around two this morning I decided something needed to be done. Erotica and I need to fall in love again.
For inspiration, I turned to Susie Bright's brilliant How to Write a Dirty Story. In it, she has a reading exercise that encourages the reader to explore all facets of erotic fiction. Her list of recommended reading is as follows.
Erotic Romance: The Lady's Tutor by Robin Schone, Sweet Savage Love by Rosemary Rogers
Erotic Sci-Fi: Cecilia Tan, Anything from Circlet Press, Crash by J.G. Ballard
Gothic: Anne Rice writing as A.N. Roquelaure
Horror: Lucy Taylor, Poppy Z. Brite
Plain Brown Wrapper: Anything by Anonymous, Penthouse Letters
Victorian: The Pearl, A Man and a Maid
Women's Erotica; Herotica, Fear of Flying, Delta of Venus
Modern Classics: Henry Miller, Lady Chatterley's Lover
The Classic: The Story of O
Mystery/Thriller: In the Cut, the Noirerotica series
Lesbian: Pat Califa, Tristain Taormino, Hot and Bothered
Gay: John Preston, John Rechy, Flesh and the Word, Aaron Travis
So, eliminating Stuff I've Read, Stuff I Don't Own, and People I Work For (and have therefore read extensively), here's my reading list:
Crash by J.G. Ballard
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Penthouse: Naughty by Nature
The Way of a Man with a Maid
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
In the Cut by Susanna Moore
If anyone feels I'm missing something (and wants to donate an e-copy of that something to me ;-) please let me know. I'll post updates as I read through.

Back into the Swing
As it were.
I promised myself, and apparently Twitter, that I would write more this year, and this is my first attempt to keep that promise. After basically writing off the last half of December, now it's time to get back to work. On today's schedule: betareading a fantasy adventure serial, and editing an erotic fantasy novella.
The first can be found at TheWizardsProphecy.com. It's a labour-of-love type project, with the writer, editor, and artists working for free, because we all believe in this story, and want people to read it. Check it out.
The second is my latest project for Circlet Press. It's a gorgeous, lyrical tale starring selkies, which are pretty much at the top of my list of favourite fantasy creatures. I meant to have this turned in at the end of December, but the holidays and some personal drama ate my brain. I'm gonna get my hustle on now, though, because I'd really like to get this one on the market soon. I've been lucky lately in that I've been receiving manuscripts featuring Celtic mythology. Princes of Air was the project before this, another beautiful book that I was desperate to get out there. Do me a favour and read that one too. I promise you'll thank me.
Honestly, writing Cecilia Tan to beg her to take me on as an editing-slave was probably one of the best creative moves I've ever made. Circlet has a collection of wickedly talented authors, and I'm almost embarrassed at how lucky I've been to work with them.
