The Memorial Garden, a novella I wrote for Torquere, has been overshadowed more recently by my other books. The Erotica Readers and Writers Association has given it the attention it deserves with this nice little review.

Circlet Press brings you seven erotic stories of dominance and submission that will return you to the moment when a master, mistress, or slave first stepped out of a story and made you theirs.
The submissives, slaves, and bottoms you will meet here are tough and competent. No passive orifices, they are beautifully-realized individuals with the spark that makes them recognizably human. In “KATT,” the slave is a beautiful android who fights to hold on to the precious scrap of her life after a disaster. The servant in “Lord of Misrule” knows that his relationship with his master requires something other than obedience. The slave in “Raiders from the Stars” learns that much more is at stake than his personal gratification. In “Personal Benefits,” the highly-trained contract slave offers the pleasure of perfect obedience to the powerful woman who owns her.
Nor are their tops the well-endowed ciphers who “train” Cindi. They have needs and aspirations. Pleasure may be an important part of their lives, even the most important part of their lives, but they are also seeking love, acceptance and a future for themselves and their slaves in a hard world. The master in “Raiders from the Stars” knows that the safety that humanity takes for granted is rooted in obedience. In “Romans,” the master forges a new sort of domestic tranquility for his new slaves. The bureaucrat of a repressive government in “Exceptional Acts” discovers that pleasure is the most powerful form of rebellion.

And, it’s time for the last piece of “The Tiger.” The first two sections are here and here.
I’m visiting my sister’s family next week. I’ve been getting in the habit of buying books for my little nephews in preparation for their late teens when they start getting curious about drugs and porn. Then I’ll be the goofy aunt who gave them “that” book, and maybe they’ll talk to me about stuff they can’t talk to their mom about. Besides, the nephews are cute, and totally deserve a copy of Terry Pratchett’s “Where’s My Cow?”
I live in Cambridge, MA, one of the last places in the country with independent bookstores. I decided to buy the book locally and bring it with me on the plane instead of, say, copping out and ordering it from Amazon to be shipped.
I went to Curious George Goes to Wordsworth. They did not have the book, but said that they could order it.
I went to the Harvard Bookstore. They did not have the book, but said that they could order it.
I went to Pandemonium Books and Games. They’d certainly have it. Nope. They offered to order it. I explained the nephews. They tried to figure out if they could order it to be shipped to my nephews for me, but finally admitted that it would be cheaper for me to order from Amazon.
I just ordered the book from Amazon.
As promised, here is the next third of my short story, “The Tiger.” For those who missed it last week, part 1 is here.
A while ago I posted this:
An astute Googler dug up this post and wrote me:
Sample conversation:
Me: I’m a really tough stick.
Phlebotomist: You have a good vein right here.
Me: It will roll. Guaranteed.
Phlebotomist: No, I’ve got it.
Me: Ow.
Me: Ow.
Me: Ow!
Phlebotomist: Uh, it rolled. Let me see your other arm.
Me: *cries*
This is why I don’t enjoy reading vampire fiction and won’t write it either.
Which isn’t such a bad thing; I have to make up something new.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that I don’t have enough free smut on my site. Well, I’m going to fix that starting now.
I’m taking an old story that is out of print and posting it in three parts now and on the following two Thursdays.
It’s time for part one of “The Tiger.”
Up for Grabs has been reviewed by Emily at Good Reads:
The possibilities are endless when you combine science fiction and sexual ambiguity, the ability to choose your own gender or not have to pick just one. The five stories in this anthology each take a very different approach, but each invariably plays with the restrictive limits that society places on gender. Here nothing is as simple as female or male, or being stuck with the gender you’re born with when you know with every cell in your body that it’s the wrong gender. These stories provide a more fluid approach to gender identity and sexual awareness that is sometimes serious and touching and at other times playful and over the top.
I’ll be there tomorrow (Saturday) for a bit.
Let me know if you’d like to bump into me.
