Teresa and I have sold “Food for Thought,” a delectable romance involving girls and food, to Best Lesbian Love Stories 2009!

We wrote this story about four years ago and we’re thrilled it’s found such an illustrious home.

And another sale! The Sophie story “Behind the Masque” will be in The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica Vol. 8! It first appeared in the Wicked Words anthology Sex With Strangers.

Oh, it was such a fun story to write. How can you go wrong with jewel thieves?

The Lucchese Star. Sixty carats of sapphire, as big as your fist. Makes your mouth water just looking at it. Makes you think of Caribbean seas, the summer you were ten, the eyes of the lover that got away.

Inside my turquoise doeskin gloves, my palms itched. They didn’t sweat, not a drop; I wasn’t nervous. It was all about the anticipation, baby. The lead-up. The foreplay.
