Hard to believe that it’s December! I hope those of you in the States had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and/or friends and those of you in the rest of the world enjoyed a couple of days without those Americans you work with bothering you. A global holiday!!
What I Read in November
November is always a nutty month for us. In addition to Thanksgiving, my wedding anniversary is in the middle of the month and the first two weekends are usually taken up by my wife’s art exhibits as part of the local artists guild Fall Tour. But I did get some good reading in!
Jordan Lubov is one of my favorite writers (and she seems like a very cool person). I particularly enjoyed “Sharing Mom’s New Boyfriend” on Medium. It has been suggested that my stories don’t have enough conflict in them, but sometimes ya just want to read/write about nice people having fun sex because sex is awesome. This is one of those!
Vivian White (Roleplayliterate on Literotica) is another favorite and she never disappoints. Her continuing “Cuckold Consequences” is one of the hottest and intensest stories I’ve ever read and her “An Interview to Long For” was hot in an entirely different way. A power couple goes through a tough initiation to gain an exclusive membership and whoo boy, ya gotta wonder if it was worth it! I think the couple agree that, regardless of what they learned about themselves and each other, it definitely was worth it.
I’m drawn to people that can do more than just write heat — they can tell stories. They could write in any genre, and some do. Jordan and Vivian definitely fit that bill, and so does Emily Miller. She’s just published a novel-length story on Literotica (“The Story of Nix”) that is actually just really good sci-fi with a lot of sex. I’ll admit that I’ve only read the first installment (see aforementioned busy November) but I will absolutely finish it in the next couple of weeks.
What I Wrote in November
November was not a great month for original writing. Instead I used the time to do some writing adjacent stuff.
I mentioned that Exceptional Erotica, the Medium publication that I was a part of for the past 18 months or so, is on indefinite hiatus. However, JK Mills is pulling together a couple of anthologies for next year and I took the time to clean up a few of my stories to submit. Fingers crossed!!
I also did publish an anthology of many of the stories that I published on Medium the past year or so (I held out some that are hopefully destined for JK’s anthologies or that I think I might expand into novels). It’s called “Filthy Bedtime Stories for Adults” and it’s available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback formats.

I also finally got around to doing a paperback cover for “The Consultant: Mothers and Daughters”, so now all five books on Amazon are available in both ebook and paperback.

I entered my story “Beach Bum Christmas” in the Literotica Winter Holiday contest as well — it probably wasn’t overtly Christmas-y enough, but I think it’s a good story.
And finally, I started serializing my first erotica novel — “Neighbors: The Beach Trip” — on Medium. It has some of my earliest writing and I think I’ve improved a bit, but I’m trying to keep the edits to a minimum.
For December, I’m posting chapters of Neighbors: The Beach Trip every Tuesday and Friday — that will take me well past New Years. I’m also still working on the finale of Devil Inside and more of the Know What You Write series. My friend Sifu on Medium will not be happy (nor will be be surprised) at the direction it’s about to take.
Stay warm, stay safe, stay sane and keep reading!
