Sex Tips From Yours Truly

This is my first venture into "non-fiction" sex writing. I'm very excited to be blogging with Good Vibrations Magazine and trying something new. For those of you who are lucky enough to live in a city with a Good Vibrations store, you know the extent of their awesomeness. If I want to write a how-to book someday, I better get this advising role down. I'm definitely bossy enough to embrace this kind of role. And I love writing about sex, so I guess I'm in luck!
Take a break from work and read it!

Thanks for reading!

Welcome to my stop on the TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH blog tour!




Thanks for stopping by my blog on this special day - my blog is the tour site for Saturday, January 30! I wish I could feed all of you special cupcakes and hot chocolate but I can't really serve you through your computer monitor.

As a lead up to the entire collection of "TO LOVE AND TO CHERISH," publisher loveyoudivine Alterotica is releasing three e-books before the print version comes out on February 14, 2010 - Valentine's Day! My story, "MY DORIS, MY LOVE," is part of the first e-book entitled, "ON BENDED KNEE" (released January 29).

This is probably one of my most romantic stories and definitely the only one I've ever written with a proposal in it. I'm assuming this isn't a spoiler for most people as the title of the e-book sort of gives it away, eh? I tell the story of Lark and Doris, a long-time couple who become engaged. As a romantic, I always think about weddings and the proposals that lead to weddings. Also, I think, I've always wanted a lovely romantic wedding proposal so writing about a proposal is in some way satisfying for me - just as writing sex scenes is satisfying. I passionately believe that anyone should be able to get married regardless of sexual orientation. That's what inspired me to write the story. Heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual - everyone deserves the right to wedded bliss. Love is love -regardless of gender.

Here's an excerpt from my story:

“So how was your day?” A typical question in a not so typical situation made me giggle.

“It was long. Very long.” I worked as a lifestyle editor for a daily paper. Luckily for me, I just worked days. My assistant editors worked early morning and night shifts for me. Doris worked as a nurse in a pediatrician’s office. We had very different jobs. Our polar opposite careers always made for good after work conversation.

“I had a writer insist on writing a story on muffins,” I said. “She explained that they are one of the most important breakfast breads. And since breakfast is the most important meal, it’s only logical for it to be a feature.”

Doris laughed, her body shaking the water.

“Marion Mitchell brought her son in again. This time he sprained his wrist. Kid can’t stop jumping off roofs and falling out of trees.”

I tilted back in the tub, lifting my feet up and placing them on Doris’ shoulders. It was a big tub and we weren’t big people-another reason I loved being with Doris.

She began to massage my right foot, hitting all the right points in my arch. I immediately relaxed, sliding deeper into the bathtub. As she worked her way through my tense feet I tilted my head back and let her work her magic. Up my legs she went, massaging. The knots in my body melted off one by one in rapid succession.

Her body slid closer and my yoga flexibility helped twist us into a comfortably sexy position in the bathtub. My muscles relaxed like a mass of goo. Her fingers stopped kneading and, instead, moved along my shoulders lightly. Fingertips swept across my wet shoulders and down my arms under the water. Her fingers disappeared into the water,
“Eeeks.” I almost wiggled when her fingertips touched my inner thighs.

“Shhhhhh,” she said. “It’s quiet time now.”

I put my hand over my mouth to keep the giggles from escaping.

Happy 2010! "On Bended Knee" out soon!

I'm sooooo excited to start 2010 off with a story in Volume 1 of To Love and To Cherish, published by Love You Divine and written by the Sapphic Planet Writers. On January 29, my story, My Doris, My Love, will be released in this first volume aptly titled, On Bended Knee. Two more volumes of e-novellas will follow. Finally, on February 14th (VALENTINE'S DAY!) all three will be compiled into a print edition of the book.

The anthology is about lesbian love and marriage and will benefit the cause for equal marriage rights for all. All proceeds will go to charity (I can't remember what one off the top of my head but will report later), so I'm hoping everyone will contribute to this worthy cause.

I will be appearing online in a couple of places to promote this project - more info to follow.

This may actually set me off to write some more romantic stories in the new year. I'm feeling lovey dovey.

MAKING THE HOOK-UP in March 2010!

Yes, my friends - I have a new story set to be published in March 2010! I know it's months off, but it'll be upon us before you know it. And hey, after you settle down from all the Valentine's excitement, you'll need something to get you all revved up for the Spring. Nothing like some "edgy sex with soul" to pick you up from your sugar crash. This will be my first time working with Cole Riley - wow, what a sexy name!

If you'd like to pre-order or just check out the details you can go to AMAZON.COM.

I'm only a couple months away from my first HALF MARATHON. I know I'll be able to finish it...just not sure how quick I'll be...

THANK YOU, SEATTLE!

Tim and I just returned from our trip to the Pacific Northwest. I'd like to send a big thanks to the folks at the Center for Positive Sex Culture in Seattle for welcoming me to read at their Spoken Word night at PARADISE UNBOUND 2009. I had a great time reading from both OPEN FOR BUSINESS and ULTIMATE LESBIAN EROTICA 2009. Although I couldn't see the crowd (it was late at night and we were at a campsite!), I could hear them responding. It was so refreshing to breathe in that clean, crisp, air. Ahhhhhhhh.....

The pic above is courtesy of Tim. Kind of Amsterdam-y, eh?

Also, I'd like to thank the Famous Mysterious Actor show in Portland for providing us with some quality entertainment in Portland. I had a headache when I left the theatre but was glad to have been part of the candy-throwing extravaganza. Portland had one of the best parts about our trip - music videos at Valentine's. My Marilyn Manson pick closed out the night very well for everyone. Hopefully a few nightmares were had thanks to yours truly.

I was happy to stop by a few local bookstores and sign any anthologies on their shelves that included my work. Speaking of those bookstores, Powell's was one of the best bookstores I've ever had the pleasure to visit. I bought a few books and a fantastic vintage LOLITA poster that I'm going to have to frame and hang up at my desk.

Thought I'd throw in the pic below since I AM that kind of writer. It's my attempt at being artistic.



Cheers to everyone! HAPPY LABOR DAY!!

Today my quads and now shins are sore. I ran a very hilly 10K yesterday. I'd trained for it...but hadn't done hills that severe. Yowsah!

Interview with Dr. Dick - Part 1

Last month I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dr. Dick. I answered some questions, did a little reading, and had a great time. I kicked my boyfriend out and my roommate had to go away, too...so now they can hear what I was up to when I made them disappear. Obviously I was up to no good, but they're used to that.

The first part of the interview is posted on Dr. Dick's site.
Here's the link:
http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/2009/02/02/podcast-97/

The second part is scheduled to go up next week....so stay tuned!

Here's a little about the Doc:



Richard Wagner, Ph.D., ACS. has been working in the sex field for over 25 years, predominately as a therapist. During that time he's been involved in all sorts of sex education and sexual enrichment projects.

One such outlet is the online sex advice column that he's been writing for the past 10 years. During that time it has been syndicated on a number of sites and in print. Two years ago he decided to create his own site to give his column and weekly podcasts a home of their own: http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/.

You can find out a little bit more about his background here: http://www.drdicksexadvice.com/hello-world/

He's also the president of Daddy Oohhh! Productions; Quality Adult Entertainment, Education and Enrichment, in Seattle. http://www.daddyoohhh.com/ He invites you to check out the About Us and Media Center links for our corporate philosophy.
