Many of the short stories collected here are also available as free downloads, and some also make an appearance in <i><a href="http://purpleprosaic.dreamhosters.com/books/fine-flickering-hungers.htm" target="_top">fine flickering hungers</a></i>. There is previously unpublished material included, but it is only a fraction of the collection. This publication is primarily a herding of stories into one corral.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>INTRODUCTION </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i>Writing is easy; you just sit down at the keyboard and open a vein.</i><br />
<br />
The quote above is a modernized version of one that has been attributed to several sources. Regardless of its origins, I find it intriguing.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
When I began writing erotica and poetry, I had just emerged from a decade-long bout of major depression, and I was obsessed with a fantasy.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Hence, writing was easy. I wanted—no, I <i>needed</i>—to bleed. Writing was my catharsis. It gave me somewhere to store my feelings so the passion would not overwhelm me or the despair drown me.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I lucked upon a vibrant online community of writers, many bleeding themselves, with whom I bonded. One of them now lives with me. Others I count as my dearest friends. We have bled together, been emotionally naked together, enjoyed the solace of shared pain.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Much of the material in this collection was written during my Literotica years, while I was pouring raw angst onto the page. I honed the art of the craft as I healed. I learned that the veins I opened needn't be my own. I had the power to create characters with their own pain. That's when I became a writer instead of "merely" a bleeder.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

I'm not sure whether these stories are first published on Literotica or whether they are still up on that website to be read for free. I tried to look up the list of Literotica authors to make sure but I have to stop after one too many profile of some man who loves to dress up in his wife's clothes but only his daughter understands him, sob sob sob. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">About this compilation of assorted short stories and poetry, this is erotica in every sense of the word. Any morality and predetermined conceptions about fidelity and monogomy should be left at the doorstep. The stories here cover all kinds of couplings, straight or gay/lesbian, and it's not just games for two in these stories. I am expecting my membership card from the Society of Really Democratic People When It Comes To Free-For-All Erotica anytime soon. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The first story, <b><i>Wetter Has Never Been Better</i></b>, has this accounts manager in an advertising company, Stormy, heading off to Costa Rica to do some research for a project to promote tourism in that country during the rainy season. She first meets a hot older man, Charlie, in the plane, before hooking up with various beautiful and hot people, male and female, for threesomes as well as more conventional couplings all under the perpetual rain of Costa Rica. This story is hot, hot, hot, especially the love scene between Stormy and the local woman Mia, and it's not even safe to run outside and cool off under the lawn sprinkler because things get really hot here, after all, when it's wet all over the place. Forget the plot, the story itself is the actual advertisement for the best things in life that Costa Rica has to offer. The story continues in <b><i>Topping Love</i></b> where Stormy and Charlie meet the rest of Charlie's swinging - emphasis on the word <i>swinging</i> - clan. This story is more psychobabble than sexual but I really enjoy the author's quaint concept of love versus self-love and the meaning of love and lust presented as metaphors in the form of pizza toppings. I find myself wanting to read more of these dreadfully naughty people. Is Stormy even going to hook up with Charlie's sister-in-law? Is Richard even going to realize that his true love is his wife's vibrator? Okay, I made that last one up but it doesn't seem fair that everyone is having fun while he's just sitting there taking down notes. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><i>It's All About Customer Service</i></b> is a familiar fantasy of that ever-friendly service guy who shows up at one's doorstep ready to put a smile on the customer's face, so to speak. It's still a well-written sexy read, albeit an ordinary one after the previous two stories. <b><i>Jake</i></b> is more humorous than sexy as it tells the story of a woman very eager to go home to her lover Jake. <b><i>Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun</i></b> is a typical Holloween ghostly-seduction dirty story that, like <b><i>It's All About Customer Service</i></b>, seems a little too ordinary and even formulaic after Stormy's drenched-wet adventures in Costa Rica. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><i>It's Just Sex!</i></b> is a gem though. Father Antony Secco is so bored with the confessionals he has to listen to that, after getting unbecomingly aroused by a particularly naughty confessional, he decides to call up a sex-service agency and requests someone to come over and give him more sexy confessionals to enjoy. I must be a horrible person because I think the scene where Father Secco experiences his, um, crescendo in the confessional booth is one of the funniest and sexiest things I've ever read. "Thanks to be - oh - my - God!" never fails to crack me up each time I reread it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><i>Boiling Point</i></b> and <b><i>Say It With A Strap-On</i></b> are linked stories about two female friends who eventually cross the line to become lovers when Carly decides to make a move on Jenna. Who says men are the only ones that practise forced seduction? The first story is about how Carly gets her woman and the second story deals with how the two women deal with the aftermaths of the event. Did I mention that both women are married (no, not to each other) with kids? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I never can appreciate poetry, a fact that my dear old English teacher back in school can testify since I never could stay awake through the sonnets of William Shakespeare, so I confess that I don't appreciate the poems here the way some people will. There are as many poems here as there are stories, however, so nobody is getting shortchanged here for $6.00. I find the stories wicked, sexy, and well-written with enough dialogues and characterization to provide ample depths. A big plus is how the characters are unapologetically sexual and revel in delights of the flesh with abandon without shoving tedious romantic erotica stereotypes at my face. No werewolves, no vampires, no space barbarians, no sex-mad secret agents or sheriffs, just people enjoying all kinds of hedonistic delights that the flesh has to offer. <b><i>fine flickering hungers</i></b> is a joy to read in every way that matters. </span></span></div>

Mandy stands to inherit the family legacy--a famous Philadelphia adult toy store and museum called <i>Erotique</i>--but she first has to meet the terms of eccentric Aunt Vivian's will and spend the night on the next full moon. With the help of her best friend, Bruce, she soon discovers the exhibits are VERY educational and her feelings for Bruce run deeper than she realized.<br>

Sex between women is mirror geography. The subtlety of its secret--utterly the same, utterly different. You are a looking-glass world. You are the hidden place that opens to me on the other side of the glass. I touch your smooth surface and then my fingers sink through to the other side. You are what the mirror reflects and invents. I see myself, I see you, two, one, none. I don't know. Maybe I don't need to know.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">When Josephine "Joey" Gray is yanked from her police academy class, she fears she's going to be expelled for a nightclub indiscretion. Instead, she's given a crash course in covert work and delivered to a small town at the other end of the state to help bust a vicious pedophile who's preying on a small town's young women. In the process, she learns that love can blossom in the most vile situations.</div><br />

This book provides valuable lessons learned regarding one author's journey through the waters of self-epublishing.<br />
<br />
Discovered via trial-and-error, these nuggets will enable authors to determine whether they have what it takes to go it alone on Amazon Kindle and beyond. Whether you want to self-publish one short story or your entire backlist, this book will get you started.</div><br />
