Me and you and your apricot panties and Donna and ...

Sounds like quite an orgy, eh? Come on over to the marvelous Donna George Storey's place, where the second-person sentiments are running high!

Let me make a quick call to my friends on the Coast ...

If you're in Southern California, you probably know by now that Los Angeles has its very own version of the In the Flesh erotic reading series, held on the second Wednesday of each month at Hustler Hollywood.

As a regular feature of In the Flesh: L.A., the hosts (awe-inspiring erotica authors Stan Kent and Jolene Hui) schedule a phoned-in reading each month, whereby a physically remote but libidinally committed writer delivers a sexy story—endeavoring, with every fiber of his or her optics, to entertain and arouse the in-person audience. And on Wednesday, April 8th, I will be the Phone Sex guest for the "Taxing Sex" edition of ITF-LA, phoning in a brand new story called "It Takes W-2 to Tango"! The call, of course, will be tax deductible.

In the Flesh: L.A. comes to life at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8th at Hustler Hollywood, 8920 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, (310) 860-9009. The evening will feature honest-to-goodness (not-phoning-it-in) in-the-flesh readers Eden Bradley, Tripp Mills, and Kate Satineau!

Thank you, Stan and Jolene! And if anyone's looking for me, I'll be doing my heavy-breathing exercises and polishing my slimline.

[New-York-and-environs-ites: Keep up with Rachel Kramer Bussel's original NYC In the Flesh here.]

Don't miss this flight!

Just a reminder that today (Monday, March 23) is a smut-lover's wet dream! (Hmm, why does that sound so redundant?) To review the lascivious details of how a pair of awesome editors have enabled you to get two erotica anthos for the price of one or four for the price of two, jet over here. Offer is good today only.

And here's some other good, wet news: Xcite Books has begun offering free shipping to customers everywhere in the world (for books purchased directly from them)! Erotica from Xcite is now also available through U.S. and Canadian merchants (and, as always, merchants in the UK).

Don't forget ... the Mile High Club bonus-book offers are redeemable TODAY!

She Says/She Says

If you want to hear about a mind-blowingly sexy offer ... with another mind-blowingly sexy offer stacked on top of it ... then read on!

Rachel says:

I'm running a special promotion: order The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories from Amazon.com anytime on Monday, March 23rd, and I'll send you any of my Cleis Press books you want, for free (Do Not Disturb, Tasting Him, Tasting Her, Yes, Sir, Yes, Ma'am, He's on Top, She's on Top, Rubber Sex, Crossdessing, Hide and Seek, Caught Looking, Rubber Sex, Best Sex Writing 2008, Best Sex Writing 2009).

Instructions:

1. Purchase The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories on March 23, 2009 from Amazon.com (MUST be on that date and MUST be from Amazon.com)

2. Forward the receipt to milehighantho at gmail.com AND tell me which of the above books you'd like

U.S. addresses only (sorry!)

Pretty fucking fantastic, eh? But wait! Don't answer yet, as they say on TV ... because there's a horny promotion on top of this horny promotion! Alison says:

I am offering a special incentive to my readers. If you buy Rachel's book plus one of my books, I will also send you a free book of your choice from my back list. . . .

Just drop me an email (to msalisontyler at yahoo dot com) to say that you bought TMHC on the 23rd and let me know which of my titles you purchased and which one you'd like. (You need to choose a Pretty Things Press or Cleis book from me. But that gives you about 50 titles to choose from.) So you buy two books and get two books free.

Now, isn't that all pretty double-fucking double-fantastic?

Don't forget—the day to double the pleasure of doubling your pleasure is Monday, March 23.

Begin the Erotic Beguine

As you may have heard, three writers who are new on the erotica scene have begun a blogland beguine called the Beginner's Ball.

Today's installment—the second dance on the card—is at the ballroom of Marina St. Clare, and the topic is "Pen Names and Perception"!

I'll be peeking in the windows later to see my friends Marina, Robin, and Helia* do their pirouettes!

And if you missed the first installment, go here.

*Helia is a very good friend of mine indeed. ; )

First thing I did this morning ...

... was write a palindrome:

And even so ... Bonobos, Neve. DNA.

High-flying new anthology release! (part 2 of 2)

The Mile High Club, the newest erotica collection from the stratospherically sexy mind of Rachel Kramer Bussel, is ready for takeoff! I'll be getting comfortable in the cabin with soaring talents such as Cheyenne Blue, Elizabeth Coldwell, Stan Kent, Sommer Marsden, Teresa Noelle Roberts, Thomas S. Roche Craig J. Sorensen, Donna George Storey, Alison Tyler, and Kristina Wright!

For complete table of contents and more airborne eros, visit the Mile High Club blog.

Here's a bit of preflight entertainment from my contribution, "Get On, Get Off":

He handed over the fifty bucks, and the agent asked for his seating preference: "Male neighbor, female neighbor, or no preference?" The seats were two abreast in M-Class—with a retractable curtain between them—and your neighbor would, at a minimum, be the person you were most likely to sense, and whose motion might make your own seat vibrate in sympathy.

"Female," Jared responded, feeling a tingle in his groin.

"All set, sir. You understand that the curtain between seats goes up only by mutual consent?"

"Yes, of course."

THIS JUST IN: A special offer from Rachel!

ByeSpace

Just a note to say that I've canceled my MySpace account (though the cancellation may take a couple of days to go into effect). The account had become disabled through the site's erroneous flagging of my profile as having been "phished" (which I know has also happened to others). I was unable to undo this—though I followed their instructions—and, frankly, I've had enough of MySpace's quasirandom censorship of private messages that some moronic bot mistakes for malicious code, their slurring of sexuality-related links as "spam," and their general dysfunctionality.

Please note that my profile here at Blogger provides my e-mail address for anyone wishing to "message me." : )

I know this is not your problem ... but if anyone seeing this still has a link to me at myspace.com/jerotic, you'd be doing me a huge favor by changing that to http://jerotic.blogspot.com . Thank you!

[Ha! "ByeSpace" brings up 610,000,000 Google hits. I guess I'm not the only one who's fed up.]

Hot new anthology release! (part 1 of 2)

Playing with Fire, the latest erotica collection from the molten-minded Alison Tyler, is now available! You'll find me naked by the campfire with hot-blooded writers such as Janine Ashbless, Heidi Champa, Andrea Dale, Shanna Germain, P.S. Haven, Jolene Hui, Nikki Magennis, Sommer Marsden, Teresa Noelle Roberts, and Kristina Wright!

For complete table of contents and more sexy combustion, visit the Playing with Fire blog.

Here's a bit of kindling from my contribution, "Three on a Match":

“We’ve been talking about you,” said Colin, in a tone my SAT-trained vocabulary immediately labeled as avuncular. I’d known something was afoot when he’d phoned my room, asking me to drop by for a minute. Colin didn’t normally ask us to drop by. He knew we’d show up, seeking his wisdom and advice, sooner or later—always prepared to come back another time, if his door was closed.

I instinctively closed the door behind myself now.

“Would you like to spend a little time with me, Doug?” Renata asked abruptly.

“Huh?” I said stupidly. “What do you mean?”

Colin exchanged knowing looks with her, then grinned at me. “We thought it might help you get the whole thing out of your system.”

I knew my face was as red as the official school sweats. I felt pathetic. “What, you mean like we go to the movies or something?” I asked weakly.

“No, Doug,” Renata said softly. “Not the movies.” Her weight shifted as she spoke to me, and I saw an instantaneous flash of pink silk lightning under her mini.

More Xcite audio!

Ultimate Burlesque, collection 2 contains "Laura the Laugher."
Satisfy Me, collection 1 contains "Any Friend of Hers."
Seriously Sexy, collection 6 contains "Who's Been Wearing Aunt Clarissa's Panties?"

Shameless Conjugal Promotion

We interrupt the flow of shameless self-promotion typically found here to indulge in a little bit of shameless conjugal promotion. I am prouder than a paisley peacock drinking pineapple punch to note that Helia Brookes (this reporter's beloved spouse) has made her first appearance as a published erotica author! Her story "What to Wear" can be found at The Erotic Woman, and I think you'll find it very seductive!

Discomfited, I joked, "You probably say that to all the girls!"
"Yes, I do," he said, still deeply serious. "Because it's true."

Threesome: You, Me, and the Universe

I have a new story up at Clean Sheets! "Tapping into Theresa" explores the place where the instant and the infinite converge. (Hint: In this story, it's a place where thighs also converge.)

It was never Theresa's goal to convert me by fucking me, to hump my dry-bone atheism into a more lubricious, spiritual form of atheism ...

Thanks, Clean Sheets!
