Leather, Lace and Lust -- OUT NOW from Berkley!

Can a pair of orthopedic socks be sexy? How about an Amish nightdress? If you have your doubts, you might want to read LEATHER, LACE AND LUST, the re-released 2003 anthology edited by M. Christian and Sage Vivant!

The book is full of surprises as well as truly great stories about the erotic allure of clothing. Eroticism is in the eye of the beholder, so it's not just lingerie and work-out gear that gets a person's motor racing. The authors in this anthology understand that sometimes keeping an item of clothing on can be just as exciting as taking it off.

Want to know more? Go here.

Once available only through the Venus Book Club, LEATHER, LACE AND LUST has just been published by Berkley Books and can be found in bookstores everywhere!

Dear Publisher ....

I have a great idea for an anthology project: Going Ape.

I hope they pass out some of MY books

Great idea!

Best of Both Worlds Rave Review

From FRM Magazine in the UK:

Hidden behind a rather bland cover which feels strangely reminiscent of a Gap advert lurks a provocative collection of bisexual erotica put together by two of the most respected editors in their field, Sage Vivant and M. Christian. With bisexuals often being regarded as neither one thing or the other by straight or gay folk alike, this collection off confessional essays and hot fiction aims to give a real insight into what it’s like to love and lust after both sexes ….

… This collection swings two ways – between good and better!

Sage & MJ Rose & I

The fabulous MJ Rose recently asked Sage and I to comment on the trials and tribulations of marketing erotica. Check out what we said on MJ's site.

My second Erotica Sells Class ... in December

For the beginning writer, Erotica can be just the place to start, and -best of all-- it earns respectable rates. Even for the experienced writer, Erotica is an excellent place to earn extra income or gain a very respectable resume in editing, publishing, or writing for a wide variety of genres. Erotica today is also a widely diverse field, from the typical "men's" magazines to the humorous cutting edge glossy, book or website.

You will receive: * A current and comprehensive listing of markets for erotic short stories and short novels * Lessons in how to tailor stories for certain markets and interest groups * How to avoid common mistakes in erotic fiction * Realistic expectations of current market payment rates and contracts.

M. Christian is the author of the critically– acclaimed and bestselling collections Dirty Words, Speaking Parts, and The Bachelor Machine. He is the editor of 20 anthologies including Amazons, Confessions, and Garden of Perverse (all with Sage Vivant). His short fiction has appeared in over 200 publications.
