Who, me?

Someone thinks I'm a "popular erotica writer." Surely some mistake, was my first reaction. Then I got embarrassed, (I'm very shy) then I got all bleary eyed and happy. What am I on about? Seeing my name mentioned this way on Amazon. It totally floored me.

Restraint is sexy. A simple leather strap, a shiny pair of handcuffs, a delicate silk scarf, a dominant’s stern gaze. The yearning for a partner who will take control can grip one as powerfully as the most intricate, indecipherable rope knot. In Slave to Love, Alison Tyler gathers the most popular — and often most taboo — fantasies of sexual control and erotic restraint. Featuring such popular erotica writers as Thomas Roche, Saskia Walker, and Rachel Kramer Bussel, Slave to Love is luscious, naughty, and infinitely sexy.

I'm stunned. I never thought I'd see my name alongside amazing writers like Rachel and Thomas. It lifted my spirits after a rough few days. Many thanks to Cleis Press and to editor Alison Tyler, one of the loveliest people in this biz. And with that happy thought, I better get back to work. These stories don't write themselves. Alas ;-)
