Continuing my blog series of Excerpts, for which reasoning and explanation see the first post, with an excerpt from Swing Follies, the third story in my queer, polyamorous, Steampunk erotic romance series, The Ockham Steam-Works Laboratory Chronicles. Edward and Delia are giving the erotic swing a trial run when Sebastian enters the laboratory and realizes a unique feature of the contraption.

Today is release day! Or, more precisely, re-release day. Swing Follies was originally published in March 2016, ten years ago this month. The Steampunk short appeared in the 2016 anthology Naughty Lovers: Love Is In The Air, then was republished in the 2017 repackaged anthology Naughty Phantasia: Eighteen Fabulous Fantasies. This excerpt was originally published on the Naughty Literati blog in 2016.

NaNoWriMo: November Reimagined

Posted on by

Since 1999, National Novel Writing Month has inspired aspiring authors to write a novel in a month. I started participating in the event in 2006, and did it every year until 2023. I did not participate in 2024, for reasons I discussed in my blog post of that year. In March 2025, the non-profit that ran the event shut down.

Which meant folks who relied on the seat-of-your-pants, self-motivated challenge were left in the lurch for November 2025. What to do? Well, there are alternatives, some good, some bad. Continue reading →

Excerpts: Westerman Extended with Bonus

Posted on by

Continuing my blog series of Excerpts, for which reasoning and explanation see the first post, with an extended excerpt from my polyamorous Victorian erotic romance, The Westerman Affair.

I like to include sensual scenes in libraries in as many stories as I can.

This excerpt was originally published on the (now defunct) Residence 11 blog in 2021. It is an extended version of the excerpt I included with an interview for Gemma Snow’s blog. Continue reading →
