Mumsnet Talk

Oh sorry Apocalypto, I was typing this w/o having gone onto the 2nd page

I am posting links to the first episode of my series which has been well reviewed and for a limited time, I have made the first episode free for Kindle. www.amazon.co.uk/The-Love-We-Make-ebook/dp/B007X6V2II/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1351500800&sr=1-1 I am not spamming, but mumsnet seems like a natural fit for the audience I believe will get the most out of the series.

For e books I like bella Andre and LC Giroux. For print I like Emma Holly's contemporary stuff (not fantasy/ sci fi)- ménage and top of her game are two of my favourites.

Submission (the Plume) ella ardent free at the moment on kindle, fairly short, kind of like fifty shades but better writing. Comes in installments the next being The dungeon (haven't read that yet).

Ooh, I got here by vanity googling - I write/wrote for Black Lace too, Alurkatsoftplay! - and am thrilled to hear of people looking for good erotica. Maybe I can help ...

I wanted to suggest that anthologies are a great way to find new authors, get a taste of lots of different writers at once. As well as Black Lace, the Mammoth books are good for a kind of more literary slanted erotica. There's also Harlequin Spice - more romantic, as you'd expect. In fact there are loads of epubs - Ellora's Cave, and lots of wee small indie ones. Cleis Press do a lot of interesting anthos with a very inclusive attitude to sexuality.

For the classics there are Georges Bataille (pretty out-there. Very ... European), Henry Miller (I never really considered this erotica), yes, Nin (Delta of Venus and Little Birds), Venus in Furs, The Story of O.

I am trying very hard to be informative and not push only my favourites and my publishers - inevitably it's hard! There is a tonne out there, and I expect there will shortly be a tonne more since FSOG.

If anyone needs any more specific pointers, though, (ahem) happy to help.

Remittance Girl has a beautifully-written erotica blog, and I like Monmouth for very short but well-written bdsm stories.

Ooo, I wonder who scrimshaw is?

Gird yourself for disappointment, hermione! I'm one of the lesser known BL writers.

Oh, I'd also highly recommend Remittance Girl's new novel, Beautiful Losers. I'm half way through and it's a wonderful erotic read - a woman joining a gay couple. Very character led, very focussed on the sex, very well written.

Forget 50 Shades....poorly written imo. Try anything by Sylvia Day. If you are looking for something a bit more specific just type in erotic fiction on Amazon, most tastes are catered for.
