'Bite of Silence' by Mary Hughes - Book Review
This short story (and I do mean short since it was only about 50 pages) was a bit strange, erotic, and at some points downright unpleasant, at least to me, to read. I thought it would be a vampire story, which it is, but I did not expect more than three-fourths of the novel to be sex scenes. Books should better prepare you for what is inside when you read the back cover blurb or research a book online. Obviously, I don’t want them giving away all the surprises, but when the back cover of the book says the novel is about a vampire and the love of his life saving the world on New Year’s Eve, I thought that would be it (because yes, I am one of those who jumped on the vampire story craze). Even the Amazon blurb for the novel simply says, “Times Square. New Year’s Eve. This year, it’s a Countdown to Death. Twyla Tafel has uncovered an insane plot to unleash vampires on the unsuspecting revelers. She’s armed only with her great admin skills, her useless art degree, and Nikos—a seriously hot vampire she’d love to paint as a Spartan king roaring his muscular challenge at the Persians.” Seems like a vampire fight story with some romance thrown in, right? Instead, the entire book, until the last 10 pages, is spent in the vampire’s bedroom, hence the eroticism of the novel. Only in the last few pages do the vampire and the woman go off and save the whole world from doom, so it was unexpected and thus unpleasant for me to read, but if you like those kinds of stories, then give this book a try.

Your Worst First Date
You "matched" at a volatile time in the world. Things were uncertain, dark, and searching for breathing bodies to hold. Urban recreational mating materialized primarily after multiple mobile phone screenings; a gamified exam, a place where virtual "strangers" could intervene with fate and enter an alternate reality.

Scars on Fire
I have three rules that I, June Saltzman, have to abide by during my readings. Number one: Don't leave the spiritual plane door open. Number two: Never let them see even a glimpse of your fears. And finally, seek your spirit guide when you break rule number one and two.

Petrichor: Chapter 8
MICHAEL Honeymoon's were supposed to be romantic and fun, a time where newlyweds explored their destination as well each other's bodies. Well, if they were virgins that is. I lost my virginity a while back to a chick who's name I can't remember. Anyway. This honeymoon was supposed to be ninety-eight percent sex and two percent eating or sleeping. My new wife had been too tired from all the wedding planning to do anything fun. We've been here two weeks and all she's wanted to do is take pictures and sleep. Now I completely supported her career and admired her for juggling two businesses at once but this was supposed to be our time.

Maka Maka: Communication Through Sex
Lesbian pornography is a time-tested go-to genre for quick titillation, fetishizing homosexuality among women not as a genuine expression of sexual orientation, but as something for men to mentally place themselves into the scene with. A phantom threesome, if you will.

The Loner's Retreat: Part 1, Cassian & Lucia
CASSIAN Loner's Retreat. Four thousand square feet of beach land in Mexico, and it all belonged to Cassian Romano now. Or at least it will be, when he convinced the current owner, Lucia Johnson to sell it to him. According to his real estate developer, she was behind on a few payments and the bank was pressuring her to come up with the money soon, or she'd be out by the end of the month. The property had been in her family for generations but over the years, the maintenance on this place became expensive and business went down during a big storm last summer, when the gusty winds alone tore through this place like a tornado. Cassian would have it renovated with modern touches and sold at a higher price as soon as he got this Lucia out of the way. He'd never met her in person, but he had seen a few pictures of her on some promotional ads online for the retreat. Cassian would be lying if he told himself he didn't find her the least bit attractive. Her shoulder-length dark and wavy tresses and dark eyes were what caught his attention at first. Now that she was on her knees, pulling weeds out of the garden with her perfectly round ass sticking up in the air and sounds of her frustrated grunts filled his ears, Cassian felt his dick harden.

Things I Didn't Know Being A Young Writer (Pt. 1)
To preface this, I have been writing since I was about seven years old. My sisters introduced me to fan fiction and I was immediately hooked. In my 13 years of writing experience, I always thought I would write a book and be published young. It was honestly my dream. It is always harder than you think.

Polyamory: Chapter 1, An Introduction
“I’m not boyfriend material.” What an opener. We had only just met, we’d been apart less than 10 minutes and those were the words he chose for his opening text. I barely knew what material the clothes I was wearing were made off, let alone the type I’d want my next shag to be. Now, call me old fashioned, but I always thought “Hey, we met at the bar last night, how’s your head this morning?" or something frivolous like that was the way to start a conversation.

Depraved and Enslaved
Erotic novels are absolutely nothing new. From ancient Greek lesbian Poet Sappho, who wrote, "Eros, again now, the loosener of limbs troubles me, Bittersweet, sly, uncontrollable creature..." and referred to her schoolgirl lover as "Like the sweet-apple reddening high on the branch, High on the highest, the apple-pickers forgot, Or not forgotten, but one they couldn’t reach."

Writing for Adult Sites
Writing for adult websites may seem simple, but in my albeit brief experience, it’s harder than you might think. I was trying to earn a few pounds by bidding to do small writing jobs brought to my attention by a go between agent. I wrote once about decorating concrete paths, another time about guns for a soldier doing a test at work. So, when the job called for 70 short pieces for a new adult web cam site I decided to give it a try. It sounded like an easy few pounds but was much harder to do then I thought it would.
