K. Sterling reached out to me after I was looking for content the site. The cover of her book, The Perfect Cover, grabbed by attention because it's a cute illustrated cover (it's no longer a secret that I am a fan of illustrated covers) but once I skimmed her blog, I really hoped that she would write a guest post for us that touched on mental health. I think the more we talk openly about mental health issues (in whatever way works for us individually) the easier it becomes for the next person to Continue Reading

Guest Post: Choosing stories for an anthology by Rachel Kramer Bussel
As the editor of over 60 erotica short story anthologies, I’m often asked what I look for in the stories I select. It’s a good question, but a challenging one to answer.

I have a sense of when a story will suit the vision I had in my head when I was simply staring at a blank page. When it came to making selections for my Continue Reading
