| Devil Red | by Nova Chalmers Aug. 03, 2011 | 3299 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Nova Chalmers never intended to write erotica. In fact, she did her best to avoid it. Her galactic travels, however, introduced her to too many promising predicaments, steamy scenarios, luscious liaisons and alluring aliens, for her to continue resisting temptation. Now that she's been converted, (and occasionally contorted) she's armed with a bevy of torrid affairs behind her and an arsenal of sexy stories to share. Pay it forward, she says. Not that she pays for it, mind you. Then again, she always says she'll try anything once...at least twice if she likes it. |

| Delicious | by Nicky Faulkes May 11, 2012 | 1551 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: The radio dial casts an exotic, otherworldly glow over the room as the Country Music Hour comes to an end. It's late and the seductive sound of rock and roll sneaks in the small town through his bedroom. The music and the warm, humid air hold a promise of intimacy and sensuality. Nick lies in bed and breathes it in, soaking up the atmosphere of the southern night. He mind is filled with dreams of leaving this small town and these small minds behind. He imagines himself on stage with a guitar in hand, singing and playing for the girls who've come to dance. His head is filled with the tales of wild women and dashing heroes his father and grandfather have told him. His ears are filled with a mix of the primal beat of rock and roll. The windows desperately seek a cool breeze in the summer night. What comes through them instead is the sound of a couple making love. The sighs and moans of lovers and the steady rhythms and plaintive wails of music mix in the darkness. As the intensity builds, a scream of pleasure and cry of release from ring out. All that's left are the fantasies of a young man and the pulsing beat of the music to fill his dreams as his eyes close and sleep overtakes him. *** Years later, the stories he tells come from a life of hedonistic pursuits and the driving beat of the music he's played. Memories and fantasies blend on the page before him. Now, the stories in his head are his own. He writes about women he's known and loved in his series, "My Girls". Stories like the award-winning "The Time of My Life" and others beg to be shared. Pictures of old friends and awards hang on the walls, the glass in the frames reflects the glow of the computer screen. Guitars stand sentry, ready to accompany him as the morning sun invades his home. Another night has passed and another day is coming. It's time to get some sleep but his memories, fantasies and music still ring in his ears as he lies back to drift away. |

I am not a big Anne Rice or Twighlight fan so please don't compare my writing to either. |

| Dare Not Ask The Dead | by Madeira Desouza Oct. 08, 2010 | 20392 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I was born in the United States into a Portuguese-American culture dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. That culture showed no room for anything but macho and tough males, who were expected to produce babies after getting married to a subservient woman. In that culture, the more tough a man looked and acted, and the higher the number of offspring he generated earned him a higher perceived masculinity. Growing up in that culture ensured my social programming was to think that I was straight. Eventually, I discovered the truth that I am gay and then I had to redefine and remake myself. My formal university education was in journalism, which taught me the art and craft of storytelling, photography, news reporting, etc. In the professional context, I learned that telling a story is an essential ingredient if one wants to connect with an audience. I am unlike many gay authors. I tell stories and create illustrations about masculine men involved with one another to provoke the viewer. I have seen all my life how straight people do not like to see masculine men showing affection towards one another. Straight people will accept drag shows and comedies about effeminate gay men. And why not? Those are non-threatening. But, if masculine men are depicted in a story or images showing sexual interest in one another, oh boy, that suddenly becomes very threatening to straight people! Some gay men I have encountered also find it uncomfortable to witness masculine men showing sexual interest in one another. Gays relegate such masculine men to the pejorative category of being “too butch.†For all of these reasons, I choose to provoke the viewer in my stories and illustrations. Check out this URL where I have one page that provides an insider's tour of my time travel trilogy to help readers have a richer experience: http://mondomacho.com/men/stories/dare-not-ask-the-dead/author-comments/ |

| Crotch Rocket | by Bad Penny Press July 20, 2011 | 4342 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Bad Penny Press provides hardcore erotica that doesn't necessarily cross the line, but proudly stomps all over it. Our most popular stories center around "family-friendly" erotica, where love and lust know no bounds, just respected limits, but keep it all in the family. And there are many stories of cross-generational gay and heterosexual encounters, those demonstrating that an age difference makes no difference when it comes to sexual hunger, are the current primary focus. With PayPal's recent decision to back off from demanding that incestuous content no longer be offered on Smashwords, we are happily republishing our collections. Some Bad Penny Press stories spring from fertile imaginations, while a number of them are based upon true experiences. Rape and BDSM stories do not have a home here. Please enjoy Bad Penny Press in moderation. Aw, hell... take as much as you want! |

| Cotcote Girls Exposed | by Cindy May Feb. 03, 2012 | 53761 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Hi, All the advice is that I'm supposed to write a profile, but I find it a lot easier to write about the characters in my novels than about me. If I write it one way it sounds so boring that I wouldn't read it, so why inflict it on you. If I do it the other way, it sounds as if I think there are only two good authors in history, me and Will Shakespeare, and that is worse. There are at least three good authors ! When I have read bios from other authors, I'm not too concerned with where they went to school, what their favorite color is or whether they are 4 feet tall or 8 feet tall. I want to know "what makes them tick" and "What is it that they are trying to say?" The average bio just does not tell me, and I'm not sure if I know how to say it, so I'd prefer to let my characters talk for me. Maybe the best bet is to tell you what and why I write. Well, first off, I enjoy doing it, so even if you hate my books, there is one person that likes 'em - me! I have read a cross section of literature over the years. In most genres there is plenty of variety, and that makes a book or a film good, as you don't know what will happen. I recall reading one novel and there was a subplot with a cute Chinese gal. I wondered if she was going to make it to the end of the story or not. At various times, it looked bad for her, and in the end I was more concerned about her than the main plot. With most "Romance", the plot is 'girl meets boy; girl loses boy, girl regains boy'. If there is a good girl/bad girl battle, you know on page ONE which is which, so you know what will happen on p336. All that the other 334 pages do is to fill in the precise details. With erotica, the sex can be much steamier, and the HEA (Happy Ever After) is not necessary, but the girls are often just a system to transport the sexy bits from one bed to the next bed. That is degrading to women, and it stinks! I even saw a review where the reviewer PRAISED the lack of character development or plot. If the review was fair, then I do not think I would care much for that book. People are not self-propelled sex organs seeking another organ. They have all sorts of hopes, fears, desires, hang-ups, and that is what makes us act as we do. I wanted real people to inhabit my novels. I wanted Mary Beth and Kitty, Lady Annabelle and Mavis, Tanya, Svetlana, Abby, Tracy and Phoebe to be people you can relate to, and even think, “Yeah, I knew someone like that.†I guess another influence that impelled me to write is that there are things I feel strongly about. In the US, one phrase that gets me real mad is “trailer trashâ€. Someone may come from a poor background and live in grim surroundings, but that does not automatically make them trash to be despised. There are plenty of nasty people to be found in such circumstances, but you can find nasty people in the most luxurious penthouse as well. Has anyone written about a Penthouse Pig?In “Gold Medal Mommaâ€, there is a Trailer park gal. Does she deserve to be called trash? In the UK there are similar phrases. In “The Lady and the Slut†the yawning gap between a gal who is the daughter of the Manor House and a gal whose mum was the village slut is central to the story. “Three Brides and One Guy†opens just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and recalls the horrific ethnic cleansing in Chechnya where Russian families fled or died. Those that fled back to Russia faced discrimination. "Three Brides" explored a whole host of issues. In "The Slutlets Get Mad", the Conroy twins, Tracy and Phoebe take center stage in a sexy action packed tale set in the Cotswolds and Moscow with an explosive finale. There's plenty of sex, plenty of adventure and a chance to get to know Abby and her two daughters better. 'Even When You Lie' and its Sequel. 'Cotcote Babes' enter the world of office politics, office sex and the notorious Christmas Party. An interracial affair kicks off between an Asian girl and an English guy, but soon they must run for their lives from an Honour Killing. Add a gold digger who sets out to nail the boss and a gal whose mom dumped her like a carton from a fast food meal when she was five and the there is a heady mix of sex, love, lust, betrayal and drama. 'Once Upon an Office' depicts the self-contaied world of office politics and office sex. By highlighting these issues in a novel, I can say "Hey, what about this?" To take the easiest one, we all know that phrase "trailer trash", but people are NOT trash because of where they live. PERIOD. I would apply the trash label to the person who thinks of another human being in those terms, as it is nasty and unfair. OK, I guess I'd better calm down! If you decide to read one of my novels, I hope that YOU will ask yourself a few questions at the end of it. The characters are imaginary, but the problems they face are real, and real people face them every single day. Often the emotional baggage that the characters carry, or the way other people react to them, determines what will happen. I do kind of like a story where someone from the wrong side of the tracks makes good in the end, and I don’t like a story where the bad guy or bad girl are top of the compost heap on the last page. If you want to find out about my novels type in Cindy May in a search engine or on Smashwords, Amazon etc, and you should find a link I have a website on Google with a write up on my books and a few personal thoughts etc. https://sites.google.com/site/cindymaywriter/home I think I’ve said enough. LOL CM |

| Corporal Punishment | by Ernest Winchester Jan. 23, 2011 | 2416 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I must in all honesty, update this entry, for I stumbled onto the magic key to post a story on Smashwords. It was operator error not one of the poltergeist that I’m sure came preloaded in my computer that prevents me from getting what I want from it. For those of you who didn’t read this bio before—which I’m sure includes the rest of the world’s population—I repeat: I am an old man who loves to write. I started decades ago—the exact number is irrelevant—on a cast iron framed manual typewriter that would now serve little purpose beyond a boat anchor. I love composing fiction on the computer, mainly because of the spell check feature. Why someone who can’t spell worth a damn wants to write, I’ll never be able to explain. I take solace in the knowledge that some well-known writers throughout history were so afflicted. However, I must confess, that is about as far as I can go into this—to me—frightening world of cyberspace. I don’t have accounts on face book (wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Almost nightly the news is filled with stories of people murdered by people they have contacted there.) I feel the same way about Myspace, a blog or personal web site. I don’t tweet or twit or what ever that is. That really seems silly--just call them and talk! So I’ll be contented to write and enjoy retirement until the final heartbeat or wayward city buss runs me over. |
