Right now, amazon doesn’t seem to be supporting it well: amazon.com doesn’t list it at all, and amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca are listing it as out of stock or whatnot.

The good news is, you can order it from a place called York Publishing Services out of the UK.

The better news is, they charge only $3.99 to deliver to the US, which is the same as what they charge to deliver in the UK (using the current exchange rate). That’s right—international shipping is the same as UK shipping!

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

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.

“The Heist” is a personal favorite of mine so I’m especially chuffed. It was inspired in part by Kate Bush and the lyric “With a kiss/I’d pass the key/And feel your tongue/Teasing and receiving.”

Another funny note: My mother actually did own the bathing cap described in the story. I had a different reaction to it, though…especially when I was once forced to wear the hideous thing!

Anyway, the anthology was edited by the cupcake-cute Rachel Kramer Bussel and I’m in fine company, as there are stories by Teresa, Shanna Germain, and Alison Tyler, among many others. Rachel has set up a blog for the anthology as well—if you’re interested, check it out!

This one was a strangely fun story to write. Authors had to pick a position from the Kama Sutra and write a sexy “origin story” that explained why the position came to be known by that name.

From the book’s description, it sounds like the volume is going to be utterly gorgeous!

There’s a review here at the Erotica Readers Association. Of “Stranger,” the reviewer says,

“Marine biologist Maris’ head is swimming when she gets just what she desires when a life-changing meeting with a sick merman requires her expertise, and love finds a way to survive, no matter what the penalty. ‘Stranger to my Shores’ by Sophie Mouette makes a splash with this sweet and tender romance where two very different people yearn to be together, against all odds.”
