So, I just entered the discussion. West coast time thing and all, and I don't know all the details. You might have already explained this, but please tell me the flavor of this particular anthology...Thank you, Tinamarie

We could talk about your fabulous story in Frenzy — "Faceless Filly Seeks Rider." It's one of my favorites!!

This is random I know but I saw a business credit card commercial about a woman who opened up a bar that serves cupcakes. Booze and cupcakes! Genius!

@Alison & @Kristina - Can you give us the short version on how someone actually is able to submit a story for consideration to one of your anthologies? Can just anyone ... more
Not mine to answer, but since I'm reading submissions for a Lesbian Cops anthology (deadline August first) I'll chime in. Anyone can submit stories to an anthology when an editor has circulated a public call for submissions. Check out the Erotica Readers and Writers web site, under Writer's Resources (or maybe it's Author's Resources) for an extensive list of Calls for Submission.

(Mine is also on my Facebook site, among others.)

Alison- maybe you can help me prep for Publisher's Weekly interview- it is an article about "The Quickies Frenzy" and they are wanting to know why your books are selling so well. I got some great ideas from previous posts but would love to hear from you and new peeps to conversation such as TinaMarie, etc.

thanks!

I got them for a birthday gift a few years ago and they are truly awesome brownies. I don't know how I'm going to give them away...

Of the one we're currently discussing? FRENZY is a collection of 60 short stories, edited by Alison Tyler. The theme of the anthology is "sudden sex"-- quickies! A great, fun read with a variety of authors and scenarios.

Fairy Tale Lust is the book I just edited for Cleis Press and is a collection of retold and original erotic fairy tales.

Welcome!
