I take this step in accordance with my (retroactive) five-year plan, which states that I've been blogging here for five years, my elbow has worn a thin patch in the carpet, and the elastic on my boxer briefs can no longer carry a tune. (You see, due to Blogger space constraints I keep just the one set of clothes here, which means everything's been through the nightly laundry cycle some 1,800 times now. I'm currently wearing the fedora on my thumb.)<br /><br />I am, however, leaving the existing content intact, and I'll continue to add titles and covers to the sidebars to link to new anthology releases. (There's quite a little crop of forthcoming anthos at the moment, as a matter of fact.) There's also my <a href="http://www.jeremyedwardserotica.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, which I keep current with all publications, any upcoming live readings, etc. <br /><br />I can be reached, as ever, via e-mail (jerotic AT gmail DOT com). And if you'd like to receive my occasional bulletins (which are generally similar in form and content to the posts I've done here in the past—and which are not to be confused with occasional <i>tables</i>, though those might in theory have erotica anthologies <i>on</i> them)... then I warmly invite you to sign up for my self-heated mailing list: just e-mail me at the address above, with the subject line "subscribe." <br /><br />[Please also note that while comments of yore remain visible here, commenting has now been disabled.]<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!<br />Jeremy (:v></span></span>Jeremy Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01980177431018869829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619565597284481638.post-9995763233564953962012-10-15T08:06:00.000-04:002012-10-15T08:06:39.795-04:00Interview with my thirteen-year-old writer selfThe fabulous <b>Kay Jaybee</b> is <a href="http://kayjaybee.me.uk/book-publications/guest-blog-jeremy-edwards-and-jeremy-edwards/" target="_blank">hosting me</a> today—two of me!

It was a funny thing about theater people. Sometimes you didn’t know whether a fellow cast member was sharing intimate details as a way of coming on, or whether it was just an expression of that individual’s extroversion and openness.</blockquote>

<br />
Rachel Kramer Bussel's <a href="http://www.cleispress.com/book_page.php?book_id=467" target="_blank"><b><i>Going Down</i></b></a> anthology is hot off the press, and it includes my story <b>"Bubble Dance."</b> That's "bubble" as in <i>gum</i>! Like so:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Before she came into my life, I never knew it was possible to chew bubble gum in a manner that could be described as <i>sensuous</i>. But, oh, that it is. Her jaw works with a rhythm reminiscent of slow fucking: smooth on the downstrokes, then back up in broken segments of release. Her tongue darts out to lick her lips from time to time. They look hot and succulent.</span></blockquote>
<br />
Meanwhile, for those who enjoy it when I write about my favorite kink, <b><a href="http://1001nightspress.com/" target="_blank">1001 Nights Press</a></b> has recently issued four (count 'em) mini e-books under the series title <a href="http://www.jeremyedwardserotica.com/SMM.html#PF" target="_blank"><b><i>Private Fountains: Wet Erotica by Jeremy Edwards</i></b></a>!Jeremy Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01980177431018869829noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5619565597284481638.post-8339626395243230402012-04-01T08:30:00.001-04:002012-04-01T08:30:22.715-04:00Assorted NewsHello!<br />
<br />
Here's what's happening in Jeremyland:<br />
<br />
For the month of April, I'm the very happy featured author in the <b>Erotica Readers & Writers Association</b> <a href="http://erotica-readers.com/GD/S/Jeremy_Edwards.htm" target="_blank">Erotica Gallery</a>. There you'll find three stories that have particular sentimental value to me ("The Same Fifty Taxis," "Slightly Ajar," and "Ménage à Denim"), along with an auotobiographical essay. On top of all that, another vintage story of mine, "Laura the Laugher," is featured at <b><a href="http://www.justusroux.com/34.html" target="_blank">Justus Roux's Erotic Tales</a></b> this month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stretched-tinder-james/1039592886" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzXnvtuL1hDxcAbIINK1wh-EMruXATyYBivQDZURuyOGsUYYgxIzCSggEPfC-5iFqtux-xZyE3ARwN1v4-Uxk9GCRSdDHZUPS750Cdj2RrPoOdbdgaJBouUTF57HQYFG2WGvkJ-LkBBTfp/s320/stretched.jpg" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
And more excitement: Recent story publications are <b>"The Gushing Ghost of Grafenberg Falls,"</b> seeing its first online publication at Every Night Erotica (in <a href="http://www.everynighterotica.com/the-gushing-ghost-of-grafenberg-falls-part-one-jeremy-edwards/" target="_blank">two</a> <a href="http://www.everynighterotica.com/the-gushing-ghost-of-grafenberg-falls-part-two-jeremy-edwards/" target="_blank">parts</a>); a new flash piece, <b>"Light Show,"</b> at <a href="http://featherlit.com/the-peacock-issue/light-show-by-jeremy-edwards/" target="_blank">FeatherLit</a>; and <b>"Reconnect,"</b> just out in the second print anthology from Racy Pages, <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/stretched-tinder-james/1039592886" target="_blank"><i>Stretched</i></a>. Here's a teaser from that story:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">“He looks almost unchanged,” Dana said to Colleen over dinner. “Very well preserved, as they say.”<br /><br />“I bathe him in formaldehyde every night,” said Colleen with a wink.<br /><br />When Dana had finished laughing, I returned the compliment, with full sincerity. “You look the same, too.” It was no strain to recall why I’d been attracted to Dana, from her confident personality to her squeezable body and angelic face.<br /><br />Her hands unfurled into open palms. “I think I <i>am</i> the same.”<br /><br />“That’s probably a good thing, in your case. Luckily, those of us who were actually in need of some maturation didn’t have to follow that plan.”<br /><br />“Maturation, eh?” grinned Dana. “So <i>that’s</i> what you were in need of.” She turned to Colleen. “I kept offering him something else.”</span></blockquote>
Finally, if you want your "ass pajamas" in German, check out "Jede Nacht," in <a href="http://www.amazon.de/Hei%C3%9F-schnell-Quickies-Alison-Tyler/dp/3453545524/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1322066051&sr=1-7" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="btAsinTitle">Heiß und schnell</span></span></i></b></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="btAsinTitle">, the new translation of <i>Got a Minute?</i> [ed. Alison Tyler]!</span></span><br />

It all starts with a cartoon...<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Sorry about the breasts,” he said nervously, stepping to the side so he could face me. I took a peek at the cartoon lady’s cleavage, which I hadn’t noticed before. “I didn’t mean to draw them so large. I don’t want people to decide I’m one of those guys who thinks a woman amounts to a set of breasts.”<br /><br />I felt a flush in my own, relatively generous, chest. “It’s okay, Ned. Hey, women have breasts. And breasts are nice, right?” I laughed, more self-consciously than I was used to in my workplace.</blockquote>
