In honor of the reading I’m doing tonight I had bookmarks made to give away. The art was once again done by the incredibly talented Nojitsu. If you can’t make it to the reading tonight and you’d still like a bookmark I’d be happy to send you one! Just send me a message and I’ll put one in the mail to you right away! And if you want to do something for my birthday, a…
Just over a week ago I gave a short reading as part of the anniversary celebration for a local sex-positive multi-use space. (I’ve got a project in the works there that I’ll be telling you more about soon.) Walking into the space one of the first things I saw was the wall filled with work from a local photographer – including two shots he’d done of me. I’ve never seen any of my modeling work…
My fellow smut writer and friend Emily and I are doing a reading on September 13, 2013, at St. Johns Booksellers – a fantastic local bookstore! Emily and I will be reading from the Cleis anthologies we’re included in and perhaps from some other books as well. She and I both have exciting news and publication announcements coming up, so be sure to keep an eye out here and follow Emily on her website. We…
I wrote this in response to two professional Dominatrixes who asked me about using Twitter to promote their business, but as I was writing I realized it was relevant to most freelance work. In a former life I was a professional fundraiser in the non-profit sector. One of my specialties was social media and peer-to-peer fundraising. While I rarely do that kind of work these days, I’ve found the skills I have translate amazingly well…
I’ve written a couple of articles for Peaches Magazine and it’s looking like I’ll be a regular contributor. Peaches is a great sex-positive voice with articles on a range of topics, but many focusing on self-esteem and confidence issues. Have a look at what I’ve written for them so far: Click on the images to have a read – and enjoy! xoxo, Stella
Another short post today to let you know about the release of Legal Briefs – a charity anthology to benefit LAMBDA Legal. This is a really fantastic project and I hope you’ll consider picking up a copy – all proceeds go to LAMBDA Legal. The Novel Approach was kind enough to host me today – pop on over there to read my musings about law school, equality, and my contribution to Legal Briefs. xo, Stella
Just a quick announcement today – the cover for Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Big Book of Orgasms is out! This collection contains my story, The Jeffrey Factor. The book comes out in October, but you can pre-order it now! I’m super excited about this collection because I love Rachel’s writing and I’ve wanted to work with her since I started writing in this genre. I’m working on various things behind the scenes and hope to update…
What a wonderful notification to see upon waking up – one of my contrubitions to Alison Tyler’s Sudden Sex, Eye of the Beholder, was given a wonderful review by Jeremy Edwards. You can read the whole review here, but here’s a tease; “What [the character] sees, described so concisely yet vividly by the author, will likely make you melt with exquisite pleasure…” Well, consider this author blushing! Get your copy of Sudden Sex now! xoxo,…
My story, Well Played, from the collection Strummed, is available to be downloaded from Amazon or Smashwords. Your reviews would be greatly appreciated! xoxo, Stella
I’ve been working on this project for a long time and I’m so excited that it’s just a couple weeks away from being in print. I’ve gotten word that my story, Well Played, will be the first story in the collection. I’m absolutely tickled that the publisher has so much confidence in my story. Well Played is one of the longest stories I’ve published, and it’s easily one of my favorites. I had a lot…
