Welcome to the dirty mind of Anton J Pierce. Unless you randomly stumbled across this post, you probably already know that I'm a published author of... spicy romance? erotica? smut? Honestly I'm comfortable with all of those terms (although to date my stuff doesn't fit the tight definitions that go along with Romance).
I'll certainly be doing some self-promotion here, but I also want to highlight stuff that I'm reading that I think you might like. I'll also be talking some about writing - my process (if you can call it that), my thoughts on sub-genres in erotica, and of course whatever is running through my head.
This will NOT be a place for actual erotic writing. That you can find on Medium and on Amazon, and (under the quite silly name "flipnmelonfarmer") on Literotica. That's why I'm not age-restricting this blog (we'll see if the Meta cops agree).
If you haven't read my bio on Medium or Amazon, I'm a cis-het white dude living in a Southern college town and nearing retirement after a long career in IT. I'm married (40 freakin' years, y'all!) and unlike many of my characters, I'm happily monogamous. But I've got a damn fine imagination!
I started posting stories on Literotica in 2018, just to see if I could do it. And I got immediate positive feedback. So I wrote more. And got more good feedback. It's like a damn drug, people! I used what I'd learned about characters and dialogue to write a mainstream novel during the first year of the COVID lockdown, and published it under my real name in 2023. I won't be sharing that here, at least any time soon.
But I also put out a couple of spicy novels on Amazon under the Anton J Pierce name, which I'm thrilled to say both won awards from the wonderful All The Filthy Details podcast.
I discovered Medium as a platform some time in late 2023 and started writing non-fiction essays about erotica soon after. Happily, JK Mills from the Exceptional Erotica publication ran across a couple of them and invited me to publish with them, which of course seriously raised the visibility of my stuff.
Looking back on last year, I published a TON of stories on Medium. Some one-shots, a couple of novel-length series and a number of stories that fall in between. I've learned to write differently for that platform - primarily how to quickly sketch a situation and characters and still tell a spicy story in 2000 words.
I suppose I should mention where you can find my stuff.
I've currently got three novels on Amazon, with a fourth hitting sometime in April. You can find my author page here.
My Medium profile is here and I've got over 80 posts up!
And I do post on Literotica under my "flipnmelonfarmer" nom de smut - often my Medium posts will show up there a week or two after initial publication, but occasionally there are stories that lend themselves more to one platform than another. If you don't have a Medium subscription, it's a good way to find my stories.
Your comments and clicks and claps and other interactions keep me going!
Hope you folks will come along with me on this ride. Let's see what kind of trouble we can get into!
