My story, The Only Real Girl on the Internet, had been published by the now apparently defunct Oysters and Chocolate. Since it doesn’t seem to be available anymore, I thought I’d share it with you all as a Valentines gift from me to you. Enjoy! xoxo Click through to read the story.
You’ve heard me talk a lot about the Big Book of Bondage – and that’s because I’m very excited about this collection and absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. Every story is a gem and I’m honored to be keeping such good company. To give you a tease, here’s my review of Lucy Felthouse’s delicious story; Balancing the Books. From the first line of the story, we’re immersed in the world – and…
I couldn’t help myself – I went to visit the Big Book of Bondage at Powell’s books. It’s not my first published work, but it is the first book to be stocked at Powell’s. It was quite a thrill to see it on the shelves. I’m excited to be a part of this collection for a number of reasons – not least of which is that every story is a gem. You should really get…

Remember my cello music teaser from a few months ago? I’m thrilled to announce my story, Well Played, is being published in Strummed, a music themed anthology by Sweetmeats Press. Here’s a synopsis teaser: Isabel has the opportunity of a lifetime and she knows it. She isn’t about to do anything to spoil her chance at this job, but behaving herself around Kurt, the head of the cello section, is proving to be difficult. Every…
Sure, everyone gets contemplative this time of year, but I think a look back can also be very valuable. Knowing where we’ve been helps us figure out where we’re going. At the beginning of 2012 I pledged to take my writing more seriously, focus on getting published, and try to make a career out of being a writer. With that goal in mind, it’s been an incredible year: My story Fanboys was published in The…
Sommer Marsden is one of the first names I encountered when I set foot in the world of erotica. When I saw that I would be sharing the pages of a book with her (The Big Book of Bondage – out on January 15th) I squealed with delight. I’ve since learned that not only is she a fantastic writer, she is a lovely person, too. That’s why I’m so delighted she’s stopping by my blog…
Jenny Lyn is hosting me over at her blog today. Check it out! She interviews me about my writing and inspiration, and about Felt Tips, the anthology in which she and I are both included. She asked some really fantastic questions, go and see what I said! xoxo, Stella
I went to a showing of the HUMP! festival last night and had an amazing time. What really made it for me was the overall energy of the show – both on the screen and in the audience. It warms my heart to see joy and diversity brought to porn and sex, not to mention laughter. So much of the public discourse on sex is tarnished with shame… even in largely liberal areas there seem…
I like to support local authors and local bookstores whenever I can. Sure, sometimes the convenience of online shopping wins out, or the instant gratification of an ebook, but when I can help it I like the real thing. I like to wander the asiles of a bookstore and let something I’ve never heard of catch my eye. I’ll pick up a book for no other reason than it was written by a local author….
