Thanks for pointing that out, Sacchi! As a queer femme erotica writer, folks will kindly note that although I write plenty about cock in what may appear to be straight anthologies, I always leave it pretty open for interpretation what type of cock I'm talking about (silicone, home-grown transmale cock, etc.) unless I'm writing for a specifically queer publication and then I'm more free to elaborate.

Warning: plug ahead...

Y'all should feel free to check out my blog link where I post excerpts from my published works.

I'm curious to know which stories people liked from the book.
Besides all those already mentioned, I particularly liked "Sea of Cortez" and "Canadian Slim," partly because the style of writing especially appealed to me. I do tend to find writing style as much of a turn-on as explicit descriptions; one of the drawbacks (or advantages) of being and editor, I guess. And "The Boy the Beast Wants". Skian's writing has always blown me away. I may get more from the story than others would, though, because I know more of his background.

Oh yes. I'm resisting mentioning my own Cleis anthologies; let's just say that a book called "Lesbian Cowboys" is bound to have a certain amount of genderfucking.

I had never heard of Cleis Press before coming here and they are so amazing, I honestly don't know why I had never heard of them. I have read Erotica before but LOVE the Cleis books I have recently gotten.

Well, I totally loved this discussion and I'm super excited to read the book! I haven't been so interested in a new book in a very long time! This was just great and thank you guys for making me feel welcome here! I will admit, being new in these discussions is a bit scary. Antipova and Wrmbreeze and all of you, thanks for being so patient with me. I absolutely cannot wait for the next discussion! I'm setting an alarm on my phone calendar! I hope the next one is as interesting and educational and exciting as this one! (

Sorry, I really am excited! Lol.

Hugs to ya'll!

Brenda's been trying to get on to post but her computer is acting up. She had wanted to say that one of her favorite highlights of the book was "Canadian Slim" and getting to hear Shawna Virago read the story in person was wonderful.
