Call for Submissions for Up For Grabs 2: the Third Gender by Circlet Press
Up for Grabs 2: the Third Gender is the working title of the sequel to Up for Grabs, which has received a lot of attention in reviews. While UFG had a focus on changing from one gender to another, I would like to see stories about people in between. Gender is not binary. These stories will explore modern and future expressions of third genders. Some ideas I would like to see examined are:
* Protagonists using mechanical, surgical, magical, or VR to express a gender other than the standard two.
* Coming of age stories
* Stories about protagonists who may not be young and gorgeous, but who have age and experience.
* Stories where third genders are normal, even common.
* Descriptions of new ways to have sex beyond the traditional.
Originals only, no reprints. We purchase first rights for inclusion in the ebook anthology for $25, with the additional rights to a print edition later which would also be paid $25 if a print edition happens. Authors retain the rights to the individual stories; Circlet exercises rights to the anthology as a whole.

I realize that this story has been fairly visible for a few days and many people have already read it. But it was so darned funny I had to share just in case someone missed it and the opportunity to have their clinical depression cured by laughing at sex research.
As many visitors know, I don’t write zombie erotica. What you may not know is that since I mentioned it once, an astonishing number of hits every day are from people looking for zombie porn, who then go away disappointed.
I have some news that zombie erotica fans will love. Here’s a book just for you.
We have snowdrops!
The Erotica Readers and Writers Association has a nice review of Wired Hard 4.
The eight stories in this collection are remarkably diverse. They are unified, first, by their raw sexual energy, and second, by the intimate mingling of human with other: machine, robot, animal, vampire, or god. Xan West’s lyrical introduction points out that most of these tales deal with transformations. Sex here is more than an avenue of pleasure. It is the gateway to new and different selves.

The word for today is pleonasm. I have writers with a bad case of this.
Up for Grabs is on a top ten erotic romances list. I think from this article that the original is on Rainbow Reviews, but I haven’t found it there yet. I’ll keep looking.
Update: I’m almost positive that the appearance of Rainbow Reviews on this post has nothing to do with it, and the link above is the source of the article.
This review is from Three Dollar Bill Reviews.
I’m hosting today’s Torquere Social LiveJournal Chat in honor of the recent publication of the publication of my novel Wishbone. Come on over and chat.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned, but Torquere Press is presenting me as the featured author this week. There is an interesting interview with me somewhere that I suspect most people couldn’t find if they went looking.
Edit: the week has passed, and the interview is down.
