It's spring and the warmer temperatures mean more seductive poses in fewer clothes and I can't argue with that. I think I will surprise my lover with a new purchase of the undergarment variety soon.
Happy Spring, everyone!

Shyness
I'm a shy person. I'm an introvert on the Myers-Briggs test. You could almost go so far as to say I'm a recluse. It's hard for me to leave my apartment sometimes. I just enjoy spending quiet time alone.
I must have internalized some negative assumptions about my shyness over the years because it's something I can get defensive about. Defensiveness sucks. My goal moving forward is to not be defensive about things. Self acceptance and self appreciation seem to be the key to happiness.
Some time ago, I met a sweet and shy introvert and fell for her like I've never fallen for anyone. I think part of the appeal is that she also spends all kinds of time alone in her apartment. We both need that - to be able to be apart. Ironically, it brings us closer together.
There is something very sexy about finding someone with whom to connect on that level, someone who also savors one-on-one encounters and a "quiet" relationship. Our private lives are hidden from Facebook etc. and that makes me very happy.
I like writing erotica because it's about making sexuality public. It's about sharing hot encounters in a very intimate way with readers. But in my mind, it's still a quiet and introverted thing to do.
I mention all of this in case you were wondering why I don't have a photo up and why I'm not on Facebook. It's because I'm shy. That's all. I hope you can appreciate that about me.

Wild Girls, Wild Nights
Even more great news! I just got an email last night from Sacchi Green, editor of Wild Girls, Wild Nights (a forthcoming Cleis anthology) and she wants to include my story, The Corruption of the Innocent Pornographer. I am thrilled beyond belief.
There is still a chance that the story won't make it in as her choices have to be accepted by the publisher and I've never been one to count my chickens before they hatch. Still and all. This is EXCITING!
I can't wait to share the news with the sexy lady who inspired the story. I get to see her tonight. Possibly the biggest thrill of all will be the look on her face when I tell her that our hot and steamy and PRIVATE two-day tryst will be out there for everyone to read about. For us shy types, that's enormous. It's also really thrilling.
