Bent on making each story steamier than the last, the stories lead the couple to admire each other’s erotic creativity, and soon superficial feelings turn serious. Excerpt The late afternoon sky is the color of light turquoise streaked with arrows of dark brown starlings and cloud wisps. It is framed square in the ceiling above my bed in Denmark where I lay swelling with a lazy longing under goose feather blankets and loose pages of erotica. I've spent the night and most of the morning recalling the stories Daniel and I wrote to each other, crumpling in and out of consciousness. The words are just as I remember them: picturesque.

The Pen Muse
Technology and erotica are an irresistible mix. Two long-distance Web mates turn up the heat in their chats, daring each other to up the ante in sexual exploration. As the heat meter rises, so too does the incredible bond that has moved beyond mere titillation and into a full-blown (if somewhat virtually, pardon the pun) sensual connection steamy enough to fog up the monitor.

This is not your grandmother’s romance!

This quick romp light on plot but rich in imagery, hints at even more pleasures of the flesh, if not in the flesh, from I Heart Media. This new and welcome approach to the publishing world is breaking down traditional barriers and entering new realms of creative autonomy.
