We have some new Andrea Dale stories available: One that takes place in the big city and two set in the great outdoors. Enjoy!

“Come to My Window”

Small-town girl Katy craves the big city, the bright lights, the energy and passion…and the woman who would introduce it all to her. She finds all that and more in sophisticated Emilie, who presses her naked against a window and forces her to face her deepest, darkest desires. A lesbian short story “packed full of hot steamy sex.”

“‘Come to my Window’ by Andrea Dale is another story that I found refreshing and well written. It’s short, about 9 pages, but it’s packed full of hot steamy sex in a unique and fun setting – pressed against a window overlooking the city of New York. Who wouldn’t have an orgasm with that kind of view, not to mention the excitement of possibly of being seen in the act.”

“Further spankings and a dose of Gallic humiliation is administered in Andrea Dales’ ‘Come to my Window,’ a sort of coming of age story filled with revelations and humiliations while having one’s bottom pleasantly blistered.”

When you’ve been screwed by an ex, it’s hard to trust again. It takes a red-tailed hawk named Rudy and a sexy falconer named Pam to teach a broken woman how to respect herself and love again. A spicy-sweet lesbian love story.

Can a homebody Adirondack hotel clerk find happiness with a gregarious world-traveling Australian? Or will their erotic encounter in the rain-dappled forest be the extent of their relationship? A sexy and touching lesbian short story.

The book trailer is up on YouTube, and isn’t graphic, but it’s still probably NSFW. (It’s sensuous/steamy/sexy.)

Can you guess which excerpt is mine before you see the credits?  ;-)

1. Playing With Fire: Taboo Erotica

2. Sweetest Kiss: Ravishing Vampire Erotica

4. Do Not Disturb: Hotel Sex Stories

And a big “rock on!” shout out to the fabulous editors who saw fit to buy my stories: Alison Tyler, DL King, and Rachel Kramer Bussel!

“‘Devouring Heart’ is the only lesbian tale in the book and Andrea Dale presents a heartbreaking tale of love and how far a lover will go to keep a partner. There is a good use of metaphor between the title and the relationship and this is one of the few tales that ends sadly, yet I have a tender place for this as one of my favorites for evoking that aching sense of love and love lost.”

And this about “If the Shoe Fits…” in The Trouble With Heroes:

“And Dayle A. Dermatis’s ‘If the Shoe Fits’ is a funny (and rather ingenious) semi-modern twist on Cinderella, in which we find out why that shoe was really so important to everyone.”

Thank you, kind reviewers. You’ve made my week!

If you’d like to see a gorgeous promo video for Coming Together: At Last, you can check it out at any one of these links:

(It’s provocative, but safe for work unless you have an exceptionally prudish boss.)

And here’s a link to my post of the press release.

Plus there are so many other fabulous authors in this one: my frequent coauthor Teresa, Shanna Germain, Alison Tyler, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Catherine Lundoff, Sacchi Green…

Not only that, but it’s a resale (can’t call it a reprint, can I?) of my first professionally published story. “What Dragons Prefer” is a short fantasy tale with a wicked twist at the end. It first appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine in 1996.

You can listen to “What Dragons Prefer” here or download it for future audio pleasure on your computer or iPod.

Because, that’s right, it’s free! So go forth and enjoy!
