Shake and Bake!

The Pegasus Run is here!

More erotic bikini-girl space mayhem has landed, just in time for the holidays! This time our heroines find themselves pitted against a group of sexy rivals and caught up in a perilous web of scheming and deceit that could well see their very freedom at stake. They'll have to muster every ounce of their courage, cleverness and seductive feminine wiles if they hope to prevail! 

It really is such a privilege to be able to work with Uruk Press in sharing the Space Princess stories with the world. While these yarns are erotic red meat for my inner Horny Little Devil -- and hopefully yours, too -- I'm also excited about them just as stories, and I always look forward to the chance to spend time with the women of the S.S. Ecstasy. Their adventures are enormously fun to write and I hope they're equally fun to read: check out the latest episode here and let me know if you agree. 

To celebrate this release, the first Space Princess adventure, The Fourth Rule, has come down in price. Get your copy today and find out where it all started. There's so much more to come!

Found in Translation.

Another recent development I'm quite tickled by: for the very first time (that I'm aware of), my work has been translated into Hungarian! 

The piece in question is one of my freebies over at Literotica, a satirical take on "author notes" called "A Short Disclaimer." I would like to thank Pavlov for his appreciation of this piece and for assaying his translation. Incredibly cool!

Carpe Diem.

So. This. If you still have holiday shopping to do... this.

This fabulous little erotic oddity comes via the good people at Jezebel, who put me hip to the fact that there is an erotic calendar, produced several years running now, that features hot women holding carp. It's Henrik Pohler's Carponizer Calendar, and... well, yeah. It's a thing. That is a thing that exists, and this makes me happy.

Pohler also apparently produces a similar calendar for the general fisherman's market, which features various forms of fish and the odd eel... but I don't know. There's just a certain purity to the mission of specifically celebrating the majestic carp by having a naked model hold it up in front of a camera that just speaks to me. Your mileage may vary.

I'll say this for Pohler: his taste in models is impeccable. And the women are pretty good looking, too! (Bah-dmp! Tsshh!)

Allow me to play you out.

Speaking of fish stories and Christmas: this here video is an oldie, but a goodie.

And it's not Christmas for my family until we've listened to this very special rendition of O Holy Night:

Enjoy! Best of the season and see you all in the new year!

I Roved Out in Search of Naughty Smut

And look what I found!

First things first: here's an early peek at the cover for The Pegasus Run, the next sexy Space Princess adventure. It's coming soon and I couldn't be more excited!

Realized by the talents of Lady Amaranthine, this episode's cover-girl is the sultry Commander Oona, the Chief Erotic Officer and second in command of the S.S. Ecstasy. A former sex priestess from the planet Thalia, she has a randy and insatiably curious nature and sangfroid to spare. She gets up to some particularly naughty antics this time out, and she's far from alone. You won't want to miss it, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, here's a review of something wonderfully delicious that a friend brought to my attention...

Truth & Love, Rupert Everton style. 

"All I did was kiss him on the lips at sundown with my mouth full of cum during an orgasm in a blessed grove on the eve of a half-moon solstice. So I think you'll agree that I can hardly be held responsible for any magical fuckery here." -- Cinder, my new favourite erotic heroine

I Roved Out in Search of Truth and Love is the currently-updating erotic webcomic from Rupert Everton, and it is seriously one of the best things ever.

Everton is the previous creator of Lovelyss and Lovesyck, both enormously fun and tongue-in-cheek sci-fi noir parodies which are well worth your time in their own right. Having said that, I Roved Out... is even better: a pitch-perfect high fantasy sex farce whose delightfully randy heroine, Cinder, goes to great lengths to get out of the epic quests people keep trying to send her on. It's packed with likeable characters, rapid-fire gags and affectionate skewering, so to speak, of all manner of high fantasy tropes.  

Above and beyond all that, the artwork just has to be seen to be believed. The artistic quality Everton is delivering here is reminiscent of some of the best "painterly" comic book artists in the business -- personally it puts me in mind of Kyle Baker's work on the prestige format Justice, Inc. miniseries back in the day, though of course Everton's raunchiness, playfulness and inflections of manga infuence are all his own -- and if you take some time out of your day to fully appreciate it, you will have no regrets. If you like what you see and want to support him, I would urge you to pay a visit to his Patreon page.

Allow me to play you out

St. Vincent's "Birth in Reverse" provides an epigram for Everton's erotic fantasy epic, and any excuse to listen to the B-52's "Roam" is a good one.

See you soon, dear readers!

This falls out better than I could devise...

... or, fairy hijinks in spaaace!

Ill-Met by Moonlight was one of the very first stories that the Space Princess series was conceived to tell, as hinted by the fact that the Captain and leader of my bikini-girl protagonists shares a name with the fairy queen in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. In celebration of the release of the second Space Princess adventure with the good people at Uruk Press, this here is a little online tour through some of the novella's influences and some of my favourite examples of stories that thrive on an overlap between mythology and science fiction.

The "Snarr Freck" Connection: Devil's Due.

The discerning reader might just notice that the Space Princess yarns draw on vintage Sixties sci-fi, and especially a series whose title rhymes with "snarr freck," for a certain amount of inspiration. Ill-Met by Moonlight owes probably its most direct inspiration to one of those episodes of The Next Generation whose concept would have been at home on the original Star Trek series: "Devil's Due."

I hesitate to bring up Trek because I don't want to give anyone the impression that you have to be Trek geek to get these stories: you definitely don't. And if you're not a Trek geek, basically the thing to know about "Devil's Due" is that it features a sultry villainess who uses the trappings of mythology to get what she wants from her targets. (In my opinion it's an episode worth a watch if you've never seen it before, but if that's not your thing, no big. Space Princess doesn't need it to be your thing.)

If you are a bit of a Trek geek, the trope of aliens showing up in some kind of period costume or the trappings of Earth mythology to mess with our heroes will of course be familiar to you. It's a cheeseball tradition but an honourable one. Ardra from the episode was kind of a departure for this kind of story in that she was exploiting someone else's myths for once.

Ill-Met by Moonlight's antagonists are, in a very loose way, a take on what a "Devil's Due" sort of plotline might look like ultra-pornified, with a considerably more successful seductress in the main villain role and a much more "Sixties" take on the central trope. 

The "Snarr Freck" Connection, Redux: A Spoonful of Shakespeare.

The other proud tradition from That Sixties Show getting a nod here, of course, is the obligatory Shout-Out to the Bard which makes for a resonant-sounding story title. In this case the shout-out is a quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream, one of a couple quotes from that play which turn up in the story in the mouths of alien characters who strictly-speaking should have no freaking reason to know Shakespeare... but hey, this is Sixties Space and aliens know Shakespeare. (Does the story use any other elements of the play? Nope, not really! "Shout-Out to the Bard" achievement: unlocked.)

Fun Instances of Faeries in Science Fiction.

A grab bag of my personal favourite "you got your fairy mythology on my sci-fi" moments:

Literal faeries, ancient entities who aren't bound by linear time, turn up in the Torchwood episode "Small Worlds." It was episode with teeth... all manner of teeth, actually.

Julian May's The Many Coloured Land and its sequels feature a Celtic/Sidhe-type culture thriving and struggling in the Pliocene epoch after travelling through time. I guess put like that it sounds pretty weird... and I guess it was. But fun!

Poul Anderson's The Queen of Air and Darkness is a famous example of faeries-in-SF, featuring an encounter with fae-type aliens on the distant colony world of Roland. This story has helmed a number of the author's short fiction anthologies and is considered a classic by many.

Not quite "faeries in science fiction" but rather "faeries in alt-history fantasy," Ironskin is billed as a "steam-punk Jane Eyre" that features humans locked in grinding World War One-style battle with the "Fey." (Without going too deep into fantasy waters, because that would be a whole other post, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell has one of the most brilliant takes on faeries ever put to paper. Apparently it has a TV adaptation now, which I haven't seen and can't comment on.)

On the big screen, of course, we have Avatar, which is eventually getting sequels (first one supposed to be inbound for 2018 but I'll believe it when I see it): 

The Na'Vi in this classic SF blockbuster can literally commune with nature, live in forests and find themselves in a struggle with humanity... so they're pretty much fairies. They'e also badass sexy blue cat-person fairies (and allegorical stand-ins for every indigenous population that ever found itself in a no-win fight against the march of high-tech capitalism), which makes them even better.

Allow Me to Play You Out.

So, there you have it. Faeries in spaaace! Get your copy of Ill-Met by Moonlight now! And allow me to play you out with "Queen of Air and Darkness" by Conscience Racks Tom.

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Brought to You By Spooky African Traditional Religions

My ritual Halloween viewing is the Bela Lugosi classic White Zombie. Treat yourself, and Happy Halloween!

It's not, like, super-enlightened in its attitudes, granted. (Although on the other hand, it's really not that bad for a film of its era.) But this old classic had style to spare, featured Lugosi at his absolute spookiest, and arguably had a far more interesting take on zombies than the 21st-century tradition.

You can find more supernatural-tinged adventures in my recently-released novella, The Serpent's Kiss. And you can check out my author's page at Amazon here, including the first instalment of the Space Princess adventures (already selling like hotcakes!).

Darling Alfie

... One of the Biggest Little Erotic Adventures Ever. 

It was not long ago that I first ran across the remarkable erotic webcomic Alfie, by the excellent writer and artist InCase. Now that he's reissuing this fabulous work in a freshly re-drawn, new-and-improved format -- hopefully as a prelude to the further adventures of the title character and her ever-feisty mother Vera -- it's a good time to revisit what makes this particular comic so special.

Alfie is, first and foremost, darned sexy erotic entertainment built on a reasonably typical high-fantasy setting that features elves, humans and a race of halflings / not-Hobbits in this case called "havlins." The shorties, so to speak, are unquestionably the stars of the show, and InCase imbues his cast of protagonists with a sexy vitality that I would never have imagined before seeing his work. Casting this kind of material in a fresh light is no small feat in itself, and worth the price of admission. But there's more.

The Fourth Rule is live!

Let love rule among the stars.

Huzzah! The first instalment of the Space Princess series, The Fourth Rule, is now live on Amazon.

I'm tremendously excited to be teaming with the good people of Uruk Press to publish this series, which is an affectionate erotic tribute to vintage televised science fiction of the late Sixties and early Seventies. Featuring the crew of the S.S. Ecstasy -- an interstellar luxury liner in a not-so-distant future crewed mostly by gorgeous women in bikinis and go-go boots, and operated by a company called Space Princess Entertainment -- it's equal parts tongue-in-cheek action adventure, wry comedy and raunchy balls-to-the-wall smut, with a garnish of social commentary for good measure. I'm already editing the next adventure for release; in the meantime if you like vintage camp, beautiful women, raunchy sex or all of the above, then take a ride with the lovely ladies of Space Princess! 

A Study in Contrast

My first book review on this blog!

First of all, I'd like to thank the first purchasers of The Serpent's Kiss. It's a story that has been enormous fun to put together and research and I really hope readers are enjoying it as much as I enjoyed writing it. And if you're not a reader yet, and interracial Victorian-style smut – with a heavy dose of spanking – sounds up your alley... well then, give it a try!

This blog is also my space for reviews of others' work, either by request or simply as the spirit moves me. I'm pleased to kick off these reviews with Contrast, a fun little interracial erotic romp from Ian Saul Whitcomb.

Hello, world!

I finally figured out how to format posts properly!

I've been writing erotica and pornography online for some time. Until now I've done it for free and purely as personal entertainment, but now that I'm publishing my first novella -- The Serpent's Kiss, through the lovely folks at Uruk Press -- it's time to have an online mothership for talking and thinking about erotica and erotic writing, both mine and others'. So, here it is; you can also find me on twitter.

Stay tuned to this space for news and thoughts about The Serpent's Kiss, along with another soon-to-be-announced novella series with Uruk. Exciting times! I'll also post random reviews and op-eds here as the spirit moves me.
