Good news — my short story, “Love on the Side of the NJ Turnpike,” is set to release tomorrow evening thanks to erotic e-publisher, Paper Bag Press.

“Love on the Side of the NJ Turnpike” concerns a young couple, Regina and Heath, as they take a weekend road trip to Atlantic City to save their faltering relationship. However, her boyfriend’s ornery demeanor makes doing so difficult, but Regina maintains that the mini-break will do them both good. After all, she has love on her side, as well as lust…

You bet it’s erotica. It’s one of THOSE stories. I assure you there’s plenty of action to keep you satisfied.

Check it out tomorrow at https://www.paper-bag-press.com/!

The first Jackie Collins book I ever read was “American Star” in hard cover — I’d never read anything like it before. Mainly because I probably wasn’t allowed. But I was transfixed! Now I’m rereading “Hollywood Husbands” out of nostalgia — I remember being really into the Silver Anderson/Wes Money relationship, and the story is everything that was sexy, ridiculous and decadently divine about the ’80s.

I found this interview she did on Craig Ferguson’s show in July and was pleasantly surprised with how funny she is. I can’t get over that she’s 72 — she looks unbelievable. You go, girl.

Excitement!

My previously never-before-seen short story, “Semiprofessional,” has been selected as one of the 10 stories for Mainstream Erotica‘s Erotica Contest semifinals. This is such an awesome opportunity for me, as “Semiprofessional” is going head-to-head with nine other great short stories in order to not only score a sweet freelance writing gig, but as the winner of the coveted Mainstream Erotica’s Erotic Stories Writer of the Year award. I’m dancin’ on the ceilin’ like Lionel Richie here, people.
