Wild Girls Blog and Book Giveaway Final Day-Monica E. Moreno
On our last day we have a review of the first story in the book, which seems appropriate. I asked my writer friend Kathleen Bradean to review this piece, because I knew she would love it, and I was right. When she e-mailed me her review, her fist words were, “What a lovely story! She's a good writer.”
I knew that. And I know, but won’t name names, of many lovely stories in various genres that Monica E. Moreno has published under a different pseudonym.
Onward to Kathleen’s review.
"Good erotica awakens your libido. Great erotica is rich in sensual imagery that makes your body hum with anticipation. As I read Monica E. Moreno's wonderful 'Polvo de Hadas', I swore I felt the spices in my blood. This lovely and evocative story has unexpected depth that calls for reflection on how we communicate with our lovers.
The narrator's bisabeula cautions her not to make noise during sex. Otherwise the boy might think she likes it too much. But she doesn't just keep her mouth shut during sex with her boi; she doesn't say what she probably should to her lover. Instead, she turns to the food magic she learned from her bisabuela. Cinnamon for commitment, cayenne for passion. Cinnamon is easy to sprinkle here and there, but her lover refuses to taste cayenne. When they both step out of their comfort zones, their love spices up."
Kathleen’s bio:
Award winning author Kathleen Bradean’s stories can be found in Carnal Machines, The Harder She Comes, Best of Best Women’s Erotica I and II, Haunted Hearths and Sapphic Shades, The Sweetest Kiss: Vampire Tales, and many other anthologies. Find her blog articles at KathleenBradean.Blogspot.Com and Erotica-Readers.Blogspot.Com, and reviews of erotica at EroticaRevealed.Com.
And Monica E. Moreno’s bio, which is perfectly accurate, as far as it goes:
Monica E. Moreno was born and raised in the Southwestern United States. She is the writer of Chicana-themed romance/erotica, poetry and literary fiction. During the day she works as a secretary, and at night she practices recetas passed down through her family. She still believes in los cuentos de hadas she heard growing up.

The Penultimate Day of the Wild Girls Blog Tour! Jasmine Grimstead “Lost Batteries”
This story gets a review by DJ Rogers, to which I will add that I especially loved the outdoor setting of the story, when a college group treks to the mountains to view a meteor shower and two of them manage to steal away to create their own starry night.
Lost Batteries Review by DJ Rogers
"I enjoyed this story. They say you never forget your first. Jasmine Grimstead shares those first time memories and feelings in Lost Batteries. There’s nothing like discovering the person you want also wants you. That was many years ago for me but luckily I’m still looking into those same eyes and knowing she still wants me.
Brianna and Leslie dance around their attraction until it can no longer be contained. A search for lost batteries leads to a discovery that reminds us of that first spark of passion. This was a tender sexy love story that made me smile and a sweet addition to the Wild Girls, Wild Nights anthology."

Wild Girls Blog Tour & Erotic Book Giveaway Day 18-H.M. Husley “Threesome”
The title of H.M. Husley’s “Threesome” goes a long way toward telling you where the story goes, but getting there, as is so often the case, is a major part of the fun, even when the going is hard for a while. Here’s an excerpt from near the beginning:
“Tonight was not going to be an easy or particularly fun night. It should be, but it wouldn’t be. Not with Kat coming to town.
Kat, who symbolized all the things I wasn’t, and provided Jennifer with the adventure I couldn’t. Kat, who had bronze, sun-flecked skin from hours of outdoor soccer practice. Kat, who had lean, capable thighs that pumped like engine pistons, and tight, powerful abs. Kat, who had the kind of body that keeps black and white photography in business. Shadows and light caressed her curves, lured the viewer closer, and dared hands to reach out and touch her. Kat, who had spent the whole day with Jennifer without me, and threatened to steal my girlfriend away.
I tried to put these thoughts out of my mind. It was Jennifer’s birthday, and I had agreed to play nice.”
Don’t worry. What begins in anxiety concludes in satiety.
H. M. Husley is a writer, storyteller, and artist. Constantly seeking out new adventures and experiences, lesbian erotica is just one of her methods of expression. She is inspired by Anais Nin, Oscar Wilde, and joie de vivre. She is based in St. Paul, MN.

Wild Girls Blog and Book Giveaway Day 17-Catherine Henreid "Odds"
Catherine Henreid lives in Berlin, but her heart is still in Israel. She would never admit to being a Polonia. Her work has appeared in Silver Publishing's Dreaming of a White Christmas series. [A Polonia is the Israeli way of saying someone acts like a Jewish mother.]
In her story “Odds” she recalls her time as a student in Tel Aviv, and a very special roommate.
“I thought back to when I first met her. It was in the early days of the program and there were so many new faces and exotic accents that I was happy just to remember the names of the people from my Hebrew class. She was one of the students who had answered my ad on the university’s blackboard. I had just closed the door behind a guy from the Netherlands when the doorbell rang again. Outside in the hallway stood a pale, skinny girl with an unruly pixie haircut. Her upper lip had a defiant curve.
While I was still trying to decide what it was that made her oddly attractive, she held out her hand to me. “Felicity.”
I let her in and checked her out more closely. The baggy jeans. The broad leather belt. The unbuttoned shirt. The wife-beater underneath. The plain silver bracelet. And the tattoo on her wrist. Felicity?
She looked at me and grinned. “What name would you prefer? Shane?”
I blushed. How did she…?
She nodded toward a half-unpacked suitcase and I followed her gaze. On top was my DVD case, lying open. “You know ‘The L-Word?’” I asked, a bit incredulous.
“Sure,” she said, as if I had asked her if she wanted a glass of water. I led her into the kitchen and offered her something to drink. She took a look around the room. “Felicity’s my grandma’s name, okay?”
“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to–”
“Yes you did.” There was a little twinkle in her eyes, and I knew she wasn’t offended.”
This is just a brief excerpt, with adventures and misadventures to follow, along with a vibrant sense of place and time. A lovely piece, not to be missed. Comment to be entered to win a free copy of the book, to increase your chances of not missing it.
Now for the interminable list of links!

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Blog Tour Day 15-Anna Watson's "Tamago"
Anna Watson's "Tamago"is beautifully written, right from the heart through the body. I have the benefit of knowing Anna personally, so I can hear her voice when I read this, but I think any reader will hear her true out-and-proud femme voice in her words. In this post Anna talks about how she decided to share her intensely personal story, and the importance of publishing it under her own name.
"One evening a couple of weeks ago I was sitting on a panel along with some other folks, including a straight girl raised by a butch lesbian, a married lesbian with three kids, a younger lesbian, single, just out of college, a married trans guy with two kids, and an out gay male high school student. We were facing a row of 7th graders, participants in our Unitarian Universalist church’s sex ed class. This was my first time taking part in the Gender Panel, and I was loving it.
I happen to be one of the few people I know who are my age (51) who actually had a good sex ed class; two of them, even, one in 7th grade and one in high school. Both teachers told it to us straight, from VD to all the conflicting feelings that come up around sex, and in high school, we practiced putting condoms on bananas and were encouraged to taste spermicide. It was life-changing, life-saving information, and I am so grateful to those two brave teachers who carved out a place for kids to make a safe and informed start on their sexual paths. The only problem was that all that wealth, all that good, good stuff, was presented as if there was only one kind of sexual activity, the kind between men and women.
On the Gender Panel, I talked about being femme, about coming out and then coming out again and finally coming out for a third time, and about my current situation as the wife of my butch husband. It felt good to be able to talk about all these things to adolescents, and I really hoped that some of what I was saying will be of use to them in their own sexual journeys. I knew that they had learned about a variety of sexualities and ways of having sex in their class, and I was so grateful for that progress.
I started to write this post about why I don’t use a pen name and then decided to switch to talking about the Gender Panel, but now and I find myself back talking about why I don’t write cloaked. Yes, my kids might find my stories and read them – probably already have. Yes, my ESL students and their parents might look me up and find that I have another kind of career and choose not to employ me. I’m pretty much ok with that, given that my main goal in writing smut is to provide a place for us, to add to the stories that show queers in all their sexual glory. But I did have to think a little bit about sending Sacchi “Tamago”. It’s been sitting in my files since I wrote it in those searing months of my early 40s when I finally FINALLY FINALLY came roaring fully into my femme sexuality. I was so wide open, so vulnerable and in such an altered state. Did I want people reading what is basically my journal?
Back to the Gender Panel. I had just walked the kids through my long, convoluted coming out process, which has taken me my entire life. “I’m so grateful to have gotten here,” I told them, “but there are times that I do feel robbed. To have finally figured this out when the hormones are leaving me. I wish I could have known about my sexuality when I was your age! And that’s why I’m here tonight, and why I do the community organizing work I do, because I want every single person to understand their sexuality and be able to lead a long and healthy sexual life.”
And that’s why I went ahead with “Tamago” and why I used my own name. Because this is something that happened to a real person, to me. And if it goes any way towards validating and celebrating the sexualities of other people, then I am doing what I was born to do. Kampei!"
Along with writing smut, Anna Watson works in her community as an adult advisor to a homeschooling QSA, has helped start and maintain a GSA in her kids’ middle school, and is the chair of her UU church’s LGBTQ and allies group. A shout out to Mr. Dwyer and Ms. Roper, who would certainly include more queer stuff in their sex ed classes were they doing it today!
The link list—if you haven’t caught them all, you can do it any time. And comment for a chance to win the book!

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Day 14—Allison Wonderland’s “Guise and Dolls”
Head on over to Allison Wonderland’s dramatic presentation of the background to her story of mad crushes and wild puns during her theater department studies in college. “Guise and Dolls” is as witty as it is hot, but you knew that already from the title. I found myself humming along with the two women in her story, and it wasn’t just a matter of the show tunes.
http://aisforallison.blogspot.com/?zx=9bc7a67459fd2d58
Comment on my blog or hers for a chance to win one of three free copies of the book, so you can read her entire story. Trust me, these dolls have no use for guys, and no need for guise. Or, um guile, to be more grammatically correct.

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 13--Allison Moon's "Foxy and the Ridiculous Lesbian Orgy"
Today on her blog site Allison Moon shares the background for her story “Foxy and the Ridiculous Lesbian Orgy” as well as her own background in sex education and writing sex-enabling erotica. Here’s just a short sample:
“In my sex ed workshops, I offer information, but a huge part of what I do is letting folks know they’re “normal” for wanting certain sensation, connection, or communication. My agenda has changed from just offering advice or information, to offering permission. After all, in this noble Google Age, information is cheap, good information is slightly more pricey, but permission to seek, find, and utilize that information? Priceless.”
There’s an excerpt from her story, too, which shows just what lengths she’ll go to for the sake of offering permission for sex. Don’t miss this one. (For any of you who’ve read my post on Women and Words, which I’ll probably post on my own blog at some point, this is the story I didn’t believe was true until someone on my publisher’s staff said she’d actually heard about the party described, and it was just the way Allison described it! The San Francisco Bay area is a small world.)
So go right on over to:

And comment to be entered in the raffle for free copies of the book.

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 12--Dawn McKay’s “Hot Desert Sands”
Stories about women in the military have a special appeal, and Dawn McKay’s “Hot Desert Sands” hit me hard with its gritty intensity, frenzied sex, and moments of tenderness. Go on over to her blog site: she has a lot to say about life in the Air Force. Here's a taste:
"I could give my life but Uncle Sam could tell me who to sleep with. As a result, my relationships in the service had to be discreet. Most of them were snatches in time. Since what we were doing was “forbidden” by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, they were always laced with an edge of danger."
Then she shares a hot and heartrending excerpt you really don't want to miss. Go ahead, comment here or there, and be entered in the drawing for one of three copies of the book.

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 11—Mia Savage’s “Kat’s House”
We’re halfway through the Blog Tour! Today we follow Mia Savage to her blog site where she sets up her story’s back ground like this:
“It was our second anniversary, and we were finally settling into a comfortable place with each other. I wanted to do something special, something besides the usual. There was always something in her eyes and in her touch that led me to believe she wanted more, something a little wild. I planned and teased her for weeks, not knowing exactly where that night would lead. Thirty two years later—she still has that same look in her eyes, and I am still happy to oblige.”
And then…what an excerpt! A different kind of menu for an anniversary feast. Yes, I’ve read the whole story many times, but it still packs a punch. Don’t miss this teaser for “Kat’s House”. Go to http://miasavagebooks.wordpress.com/.
(And notice that besides comments on her post being entered in a drawing for the book, Mia is also offering a drawing for a $10 Amazon Gift Card. Don’t miss this one.)
Scroll down to my post from yesterday for a complete list of the Blog Tour links.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Day 10: Giselle Renarde’s “Ring of Roses”
Day 10, and we go to Giselle Renarde’s blog where she gives us the background of her story “Ring of Roses”, and goes a step further with a link to the blog she wrote at the time about that romantic trip to Niagara Falls, Canadian side, of course. Even better, she provides an excerpt showing the real emotional depth of an experience that went far beyond glittering lights and rose petals in the Jacuzzi.

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 9--M.Marie on "Auto-Complete'
Today you can travel effortlessly to Canada (or maybe you’re already there, along with many of my writers) to read M.Marie’s account of her story “Auto-Complete.” Well, just a little effort, if you think clicking on her link counts. As incentive, here’s just a teaser from her post:
When I first read Sacchi’s Call for Submissions for this anthology, I knew I wanted to share a personal story that was sexy, but also fun and lighthearted; something that would give readers a little peek at me, as well as at my sex life ;)
My mind immediately went to a past incident with my partner in which I made a somewhat embarrassing misassumption. I’ll admit that I do have a bad habit of snooping around on the computer occasionally… I’m curious! I can’t help myself! ☺

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 8--Catherine Paulssen's "Delinquents"
Today we have Catherine Paulssen writing from Germany and remembering how the world looked to her from that perspective twenty years ago. Her story “Delinquents” is as simultaneously lovely and hot as anything I’ve ever read.
Catherine Paulssen's (www.catherinepaulssen.com) stories have appeared in Best Lesbian Romance 2012 and Girl Fever and in anthologies by Ravenous Romance and Constable & Robinson. (I’ve also seen her name in a number of anthologies since this bio was written.)
When I first saw Sacchi’s call for submissions for an anthology of true lesbian erotica, I was very excited about this idea. I knew I wanted to participate, but at first, I had no idea how. I simply didn’t know what story to tell. Looking back, most experiences that weren’t too boring to write about seemed so tainted with heartbreak or confusion I couldn’t see them in such an anthology – or bring myself to write about it. So I went back really far in time and thought of that magical summer of 1994. We had been so daring, so carefree and yet so full of questions… I was intrigued again immediately. A lot had to be thought about, added and transformed – yes, I took a lot of license as far as circumstances go.
And I loved every minute I was writing “Delinquents”.
After all, by the time I finally had it all together and down on paper, Sacchi sent an update asking for stories beyond tales of coming-out or recollections of first encounters.
I still went ahead with my submission. Mostly because it had been such an adventure plunging back into those weeks that are almost twenty years in the past that I was convinced the fun I had and the emotions that came back while writing about them would resonate with readers.
Looking back on that time today (with a lot of disbelief – has it really been twenty years? It all seems so close, and some of what’s been said and done I remember more vividly than things that happened two years ago), I find it wasn’t only a very sweet and glorious summer, but also a very defining one.
Sacchi accepted the story a few months later, and I hope that you will enjoy reading “Delinquents” as much as I enjoyed telling it.
[I can’t resist adding a brief excerpt. The two girls are house-sitting for the TV star mother of one of them. One of the things they do is watch sexy movies. And then…]
“I can't imagine what the fuss is all about. I mean, what's with the boob obsession?”
Esther threw a glance at the movie and shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t know. They must feel good, I guess.”
“Maybe,” I said, following Esther’s stare. But then, suddenly, she turned her eyes from the screen and looked right at me.
“Wanna try?” she asked.
Heat shot into my stomach. I knew immediately what she meant. But it seemed too outrageous a suggestion. And what was I supposed to do? What if I did it all wrong? What if it was embarrassing? I kept my eyes fixed on the television. “Try what?” I asked.
She cocked her head, but didn’t answer my question. “To see if it feels good,” she stated simply.
You really want to read the rest. Trust me. Comment here and/or on any of the other posts in this series to be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the book. Or, in a pinch, you can buy the book. It's worth it.

Wild Girls Blog Tour Day 7, Cheyenne Blue
I’d call today's installment another road trip, except that Cheyenne Blue writes from Australia, much too far from most of us for a road trip, and she tells us about the long ago nursing training in London that’s the source for her story “Nurse Joan.” Best of all, she includes an excerpt that’s both slightly creepy in a dim-hospital-at-night way, and intensely sexy in all sorts of ways.
Go on over there, read, enjoy, and comment there (or here) to be entered for the free book drawing. Fortunately you don’t have to drive all that way.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Day 5: Blog Tour and Book Giveaway
Day 5 of the Wild Girls, Wild Nights Blog Tour and Book Giveaway is coming right at you!
Today it’s Dawn Mueller’s turn to share the sexual quest that led to her story “Cockadoodle Doo.”
We’ll be featuring one story a day from the book through June 22, and anyone who comments on any of the posts will be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the anthology. You can comment on more than one post and be entered more than once. I'll announce the winners by June 25, if not sooner, and ask for mailing info.
Most of these entries will be commentary by the writers themselves, but a few will be reviews by other writers.
Cockadoodle Doo
Dawn Mueller
I wrote “Cockadoodle Doo” in January 2008, shortly after completing the initial draft of A Single Year, my memoir documenting the year I spent on a quest for casual sex. While that year was 2004-2005, various attempts at relationships kept me from completing the book more quickly. As much as I learned about my sexuality during that year, I also learned that romping around in the green, green grass of sexual abundance left me feeling increasingly empty.
I craved a committed relationship, and was prepared to do whatever it took to get it. It didn’t matter if I had to make hard compromises. Things would balance out. That’s how it worked, right? Whatever it was, I was willing to try it, or change it, or do something in service of the relationship. I knew it would be a lot of work, but I was ready!
Unfortunately, the first two women I was with following that year had different ideas. One saw the potential of our relationship as a kind of carnival game and, upon winning the prize, decided that having a big stuffed giraffe took up a lot of space and got in the way far too much. The second was a purely sexual situation that I naively thought I could twist into something more. Both lasted close to a year but should have never gone beyond 2 months.
Enter the third. Based on where we took each other sexually, it seemed like the third time was, indeed, the charm. Sure, we were driven by sex, but again I thought I could will it into something more. And this time, it did become something more. In a lot of ways it was something greater than I had expected and bigger than I could handle. Even though I knew I was out of my league in nearly every aspect (except sex), I believed it could work.
A significant age difference means maybe you don’t like the same music or your partner doesn’t know what a rotary phone is, but a significantly different standard of living means maybe your partner wears Armani and has a stylist and you wear Old Navy and let a friend cut your hair. While we had a slight age difference (7 years), our living standards were poles apart and much more difficult to overcome.
In spite of it all, we soldiered on. I got the benefit of an extravagant lifestyle and she got… well, I’m not sure what she got. Me, I guess. And from what she told me, I was good to her sexually—the best she’d had. (This was true for both of us as evidenced in “Cockadoodle Doo.”)
Eventually though, our corporate and non-profit worlds collided and it became clear that no matter how good the sex, it was not enough to compensate for our differences. A lifestyle of corporate dinners with executives, extravagant business trips, and endless hobnobbing, while fun for a while, was not the way I was comfortable living. I didn’t measure up and would never be her equal. So it ended, and it was sad, but I try to look on the bright side and appreciate the good things—great orgasms, delicious food, and beautiful vacations (not to mention a few more stories to tell)!
Dawn Mueller is the author of the recently published memoir, A Single Year. She lives on the north side of Chicago with her chocolate lab, Mousse, and her incorrigible kitten, Kazoo. She writes about lesbians, sex, and relationships and, thankfully, remembers it all the next morning.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights, Day 4: Blog Tour and Book Giveaway
It’s Day 4 of the Wild Girls, Wild Nights Blog Tour and Book Giveaway.
Today Charlotte Dare writes abut her lovely tender, steamy, ultimately bittersweet story of a May-December romance (although I’d call it closer to May-September.)
We’ll be featuring one story a day from the book through June 22, and anyone who comments on any of the posts will be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the anthology. You can comment on more than one post and be entered more than once. I'll announce the winners by June 25, if not sooner, and ask for mailing info.
Most of these entries will be commentary by the writers themselves, but a few will be reviews by other writers.
“Higher Learning”
Charlotte Dare
“Higher Learning” was fun to write and a little bittersweet. If you’ve read any of my other stories, chances are you’ve come across another May-December lesbian romance. I can’t help myself. I’ve loved older women as long as I can remember. A college campus, though, was the last place I expected to meet and fall in love with one beyond my high school fantasy about the sexy closeted professor who would summon me to her cozy little office, remove the hairclip that held her raven-colored bun and pin me against her desk. But as it usually happens in life, the way you envision things and the way they end up working out rarely coincide.
Although the character of Jules is based on me and my first experience with an older woman, I decided to tell it from Corinne’s point of view now that I’m close enough to her age to appreciate her experience. I wanted to imagine how it must’ve felt to be a woman of a certain age involved with a younger woman, to understand the renaissance of the heart it inspires and the physical and emotional insecurities it inevitably reveals. During our dalliance, I spent a lot of time reassuring Corinne that some young, taut co-ed wasn’t going to snatch me away from her, and it made me sad. She was a vibrant, sensual woman who could’ve held her own in any age group.
Unfortunately, our love affair could not endure, not for the physical separation but rather the double-decade separation of our birth years. As I was writing the story, memories of Corinne came alive in my mind, and I’d wondered what had become of her. Maybe after Wild Girls, Wild Nights is released, I’ll find out.
Charlotte Dare’s erotic fiction has appeared in The Harder She Comes: Butch Femme Erotica, Best Lesbian Romance, Best Lesbian Erotica, Lesbian Cowboys, Girl Crazy, Ultimate Lesbian Erotica, Wetter: More True Lesbian Sex Stories, Where the Girls Are, and various online publications. She thanks her red hot lover, Ana, for her endless inspiration.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Day 3: Blog Tour and Free Book Drawing
Welcome to Day 3 of the Wild Girls, Wild Nights: True Lesbian Sex Stories Blog Tour!
We’ll be featuring one story a day from the book through June 22, and anyone who comments on any of the posts will be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the anthology. You can comment on more than one post and be entered more than once. I'll announce the winners by June 25, if not sooner, and ask for mailing info.
Most of these entries will be commentary by the writers themselves, but a few will be reviews by other writers.
Today we feature Danielle Mignon’s story, “Are You My Mommy?” but Danielle herself is hiding shyly behind a double layer of pseudonyms on this occasion, so I’m filling in.
Danielle Mignon is a lover of live theatre and photography who's been called a grammar geek and control freak. An editor of countless stories, she's moving to the foreground by putting pen to paper. Ms. Mignon is a country girl with city tastes and a unique outlook on life.
Here’s an excerpt from her story:
I never realized I wanted to be spanked until the day I called my girlfriend “Mom.”
Actually, I’d called Louisa “Mom” many times before, but always in my trademark self-reflexive mock-teenager tone. For instance, she might ask me to please eat something healthy for dinner and I might say, “Yes, Mom,” or she might comment on what a mess my apartment was and I might say, “I’ll clean it tomorrow, Mom.” It was conscious and innocuous and always, always a joke.
This “Mom” was different.
In truth, I can’t recall what I was so worked up about at the time. Something career-related, most likely. I remember Louisa sitting on the edge of my bed, fully dressed. I was nearly naked and standing between her thighs. My arms rested on her shoulders, my body nestled into the warm comfort of her cleavage as I whined about whatever the trouble was. She ran her hands through my hair in consolation and suddenly I said, “I don’t know what to do about it, Mom.”
I didn’t hear it until after I’d said it, and by that time, of course, I couldn’t take it back. My spine straightened, vertebrae by vertebrae, until I was standing straight as an arrow.
“Did you hear that?” I asked. “I just called you Mom.”
Louisa didn’t react at all the way I expected. She just laughed and said, “Freud would have a field day.”
If you guess that somewhere along the line a good old-fashioned spanking will indeed ensue, you guessed right.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights Day 2: Blog Tour and Free Book Drawing
Welcome to Day 2 of the Wild Girls, Wild Nights: True Lesbian Sex Stories Blog Tour!
We’ll be featuring one story a day from the book through June 22, and anyone who comments on any of the posts will be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the anthology. You can comment on more than one post and be entered more than once. I'll announce the winners by June 25, if not sooner, and ask for mailing info.
Most of these entries will be commentary by the writers themselves, but a few will be reviews by other writers.
Today we have Destiny Moon’s commentary on her story, “Corrupting the Innocent Pornographer.”
Dear Reader,
Let’s talk about the opposite of erotica: bed death. It happens almost automatically as sleepovers increase and we fall into our routines. It’s comforting to watch movies together and cuddle and stay up just a little past bedtime. One time she doesn’t instigate. Another time, you don’t. Next thing you know, you’ve been spooning for a month with not a single mention of the old “forking” days. Har har.
Throw in a little work stress, family drama, or traumatic life event and it becomes even easier to neglect the initial spark. This is a common experience in my circle of friends and I’m glad we talk openly about it. Among other things, we remind each other to purchase Cleis anthologies, new sex toys and massage bars.
I have a friend who has managed to keep her poly triad going – emotionally as well as sexually – for over a dozen years with one lover and nearly half a dozen with the other. Her secret? Conscious effort. She makes time to talk with her lovers and explore new sexual fantasies. They have check-ins about their relationship and don’t take sex for granted. Naturally, there are ups and downs and sometimes she calls me and complains that in spite of having two lovers, she’s not getting as much action as she’d like.
The story I wrote for Wild Girls, Wild Nights is inspired by conscious loving. When my lover and I first started dating, we were determined to be more consciously physical. We’re older and aware of our needs – as one becomes later in life.
I can’t wait to read the hot and steamy true stories in this collection. I’m looking forward to more inspiration and I hope that you find the same between the pages of Wild Girls, Wild Nights. Life is short. Have great sex.
Yours truly,
Destiny
Destiny Moon is a shy and bookish femme who, when she isn't wooing sexy butches, spends a lot of time nerding out in her apartment. She would like to dedicate her story to the pornographer, the source of her inspiration. Visit Destiny's blog at http://eroticauthoress.blogspot.ca/.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights: Blog Tour and Free Book Drawing, Day One
Welcome to Day One of the Wild Girls, Wild Nights: True Lesbian Sex Stories Blog Tour!
We’ll be featuring one story a day from the book through June 22, and anyone who comments on any of the posts will be entered in a drawing for one of three free copies of the anthology. You can comment on more than one post and be entered more than once. I'll announce the winners by June 25, if not sooner, and ask for mailing info.
Most of these entries will be commentary by the writers themselves, but a few will be reviews by other writers.
Today Miel Rose reviews ”The Daddy I Didn’t Know I Needed” by Angel Propps.
“The Daddy I Didn’t Know I Needed,” as the title suggests, is the story of a woman finding a dyke daddy when she wasn’t even aware of her desire for one. The story starts off with the narrator asking out the hot butch that always sits in her section at the diner she works in. As sometimes happens, this gets read as ridicule by the butch and they have a misunderstanding. Despite this they manage to push through it and forge some hot connection and spur of the moment daddy/girl play. For the narrator, this sex involves new undercurrents and dynamics she is not entirely sure of the meanings of. It’s a good thing she has a daddy now to teach her!
“The Daddy I Didn’t Know I Needed” is a showcase of butch/femme vulnerability, and how challenging it can be to try to connect with each other in the outside world. It’s also a sexy portrayal of how to work a dynamic into sex with someone you’ve just met, something that can be tricky, but in this case works out. And of course, this story is about the beauty of connecting with your own desire and finding something you didn’t even know you needed.
Angel Propps is a femme leatherdyke, collared submissive, Ms. SouthEast Leather Fest 2011, First Runner-up International Ms. Leather 2012, and multi-published writer of erotica and horror and poetry who spends her time traveling the country with her whip-vending Daddy. They both can be found at various conferences presenting classes and playing in dungeons.
Miel Rose is a queer femme smut writer with ten published stories in various anthologies including The Harder She Comes, Leather Ever After, and the forthcoming Can’t Get Enough. You can find all of her stories to date in one convenient and attractive collection entitled Overflow: Tales of Butch-Femme Love, Sex, and Desire. To get your own copy of Overflow or for more information on Miel, visit mielrose.com.
Here’s the list of the posts, with links. Most of them will be based here, but several writers are posting on their own blog sites.
