Sharing some reading recommendations, an update on my own writing and some really cool news!
Counting down the weeks until my retirement from my day job — only 12 weeks to go now. Still no idea who is replacing me or when (or even if), so I’m just focused on bringing my lieutenants up to speed with stuff they don't already know, and trying to do no harm. I promise I’ll stop talking about that soon! But I may also stop trying to keep my meatspace persona and my smutty writer persona quite so separate. You might actually start seeing pictures of me and not just 1/3 of my face.
I hope you enjoyed International Masturbation Month as much as I did!
As I mentioned last month, I volunteered to be a judge in a national contest for hot romance and erotica (I’m not sure I’m at liberty to mention the org, so I won’t). It’s the first time I’ve ever done anything like that and it’s been an interesting experience! I absolutely loved some of what I read, other stuff didn’t resonate with me at all (but I tried to judge it on its own merits and not my tastes in smut), and another had potential but needed some work. I’ll definitely consider doing something like that again!
But the big news is that I have a story included in the upcoming anthology “Wicked Little Miracles”! The cover will be revealed in just a couple of days and the book will be available end of June — so excited! So much work from so many people to get this out — big kudos to the editor JK Mill and to Megan Landon for her tireless effort to promote this thing. More to come!
What I Wrote in May
The first 5 chapters of “Welcome to Hidden Hills” are up on Medium! It’s a story that’s been rattling around in my head for a couple of years and I’m really happy with the way it’s going. Rick inherits a trailer park in the middle of nowhere in North Carolina and finds that there is a lot going on there that isn’t readily explained. All of the women are large-breasted and beautiful, everyone is horny ALL the time, and let’s say the endurance is not a big problem. It’s a light-hearted look at standard trailer park tropes and I think it’s a hoot. I’ve got another three chapters queued up and then a little break before I come back to it. It has potential to eventually become novel length.
I’m also hard at work on a much more heart-grabbing story that I hope to start posting in the next couple of weeks with Absolute Erotica on Medium. A very successful, very happy couple in Chicago allows the sorority sister of the wife to stay with them while she looks for a job and a place to live, and let’s say that things get out of hand. I’m not quite decided on a title yet but if all goes well, I’ll get at least three chapters out in June.
What I Read in May
I’ve been reading Ian Snow’s stuff for a few years now — first on Literotica, but I’ve also bought a number of his books as well. His “Dads Project” trilogy was right up my alley — sweet age-gap stories with heart and romance (and of course hot sex). They’re the sort of thing that I love to write myself, and certainly enjoy reading his, as I’ve told him. They got me through a number of business flights a couple of years ago. Highly recommended!
Then there’s the one I read in May — “MILFs in Pigtails” (available on Amazon). Talk about truth in advertising! It is exactly what it should be — three hot, silly, fun-as-hell stories (did I say hot?) about sexy women in their early 40s playing with much, much younger men. Good dirty fun with zero angst!
I’ve written a number of times about my views on hotwife erotica. Sophie-Louise Clarke's “He Watched Me Seduce Another Man” — a 3-parter on Medium — is the kind I like best. The husband is encouraging, even commanding — definitely a stag, not a cuckold. He participates but he also enjoys watching. And our hotwife, well, she gets the best of both. It’s a very hot, very loving story — check it out!
I also enjoyed Coco Lust’s “Stretched For My Husband” for the same reason. A loving husband directs his wife’s liaison long-distance during her trip to Miami for her friend’s pre-wedding bridal party. The sex with a handsome stranger is hot. The “welcome home” reclaiming sex with her husband is pure fire!
On a MUCH different part of the spectrum, I read some more of Rabblelaid’s work on Literotica. He specializes in noncon/reluctant relationships, usually with someone using psychological means to corrupt their target. I pretty much caught up on his story “The Bet” that I mentioned in a previous post, and enjoyed the somewhat lighter 2-parter (so far) “The Deep End”, about a bored, sexually-frustrated wife falling to the manipulations of her step-daughter’s dangerous boyfriend. Honestly, in this case he didn’t have to manipulate her all that much! It’s light now, but there is every possibility that our author may push her into darker territory.

That’s it for this month! Stay tuned for the cover reveal and I hope you enjoy “Welcome to Hidden Hills” and my next one! As always, my novels and my own anthology are available on Amazon in both ebook and paperback format. If you don’t have a sub to Medium, much of my output from the past couple of years is available in the anthology “Filthy Bedtime Stories”.
