New Release
In her haste to escape an arranged marriage, a young woman accepts help from an enigmatic centaur. But no good thing is free, and this mythological beast has demands of his own. Chrysanthe may have escaped one man's clutches only to land in the embrace of a creature much more devious - and tantalizing.
This erotic short story contains naughty, quirky sexual content featuring a mythological creature - a centaur. If this is not your cup of tea... as usual, please read elsewhere.
The Centaur's Woman is a 8,300 word short story.

Holly has never been a good girl, so it's really no surprise to her that she ended up in Hell. She just didn't expect to be sent there while she was still alive. Now she'll have to face off against all the hungry demons down below if she wants to stay alive. A mysterious tentacled beast is prepared to help her... but only if she'll allow him a few intimate liberties.
While it's easily read as a stand-alone, In Hell's Embrace is a sequel to Ravished by the Demon, in which Holly manipulated her way into the magical Farrow family, and then summoned demons in order to borrow power from them. When her sister-in-law Meg discovered her duplicity, Holly locked her in a magic circle with an angry demon in hopes he would kill Meg. Unfortunately for Holly, Meg escaped to get revenge by casting Holly into Hell... which is were we all know she belongs.
Please note, the story involves somewhat graphic sexual content involving a demon with tentacles. If this offends you, please read elsewhere.
In Hell's Embrace is a 6,000 word erotic short story.

New Release
Forced into a life of servitude at a young age, Amara has been sneaking down into the labyrinth for years to whisper her discontent to her only friend: The Minotaur. She dreams of meeting the Minotaur face to face, instead of murmuring secrets around corners and through walls.
When Amara discovers a plan to murder the Minotaur, she knows that day has come. She will have to go deeper into the dark labyrinth than she has ever gone, find the Minotaur, and help him escape. But the Minotaur has no reason to trust a woman who's frightened of his appearance, frightened of his touch. If Amara wants to save the Minotaur, she will have to prove her devotion completely. Heart, soul... and body.
The Minotaur's Handmaiden is a 5,800 word short erotic story and (must I add that pesky word of warning?) involves sex between a human woman and a minotaur. So please do not read if such offends you.
It's available now from the usual retailers - please see the sidebar for purchase links, or click the cover to go straight to Amazon.

New Release
Emily always believed the frightening creature from her childhood memories was just a dream. But when she returns to the house where she grew up, she discovers an all too real being - a leathery winged incubus who’s stalked her subconscious and waited twenty-one years to claim her as his own. And he won’t wait another night.
Owned by the Incubus is a 6,000 word erotic short story, following on the Ravished by the Demon theme of one family's occult legacy.
Another word of warning: This story contains sexual content involving a human woman and a demon. If such stories are not to your taste, this is probably not right for you.

Apple / iBooks
I regret to inform my loyal, lurking readers that Apple has decided they will no longer carry the Marked by the Beast series. They state the stories contain
by which they might mean overuse of the word "cock" or possibly "cunt" - but more probably they're viewing them as some veiled form of bestiality. Which they're not. All characters who engage in sex are human.
However I do put those caution notes on the stories for a reason. The male characters in the Beast series are, well, beastly. So while I think it should be the reader's choice... I respect Apple's decision.
However if you would like to read the series, and you use an Apple device, you can:
Prohibited Explicit or Objectionable Content

However if you would like to read the series, and you use an Apple device, you can:
- Download a free app for Kindle, Nook, or Kobo onto your device and purchase directly through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or the Kobo store.
- Or if you prefer iBooks, just visit Smashwords on your reading device, and download the EPUB file - your device should give you the option to open immediately in iBooks.
For whatever reason, Apple has not ticketed the second story in the series, Seducing the Beast. Perhaps the hero was less beastly?

New Release
The Farrows are a close family, bound together by a history of strangeness. So when Meg's brother comes to her with a problem - he fears his wife is having an affair - she promises to do whatever it takes to find out the truth. Little does she guess that what it will take is being locked in a magic circle and left to the mercy of a powerful demon.
Because Meg's sister-in-law isn't just cheating. Holly is a witch who's been calling up demons from Hell in order to exchange power with them. When she realizes Meg is spying on her, she tries to silence her forever by summoning an ancient, powerful demon and trapping them together. Luckily for Meg, the demon is more interested in seeking revenge against his captor than in murdering her.
To escape the circle, the demon needs a strong witch. The Farrows have always had a little witch blood themselves. An exchange with the demon will boost Meg's powers - but it will also mean surrendering herself entirely to a savage lust she doesn't know if she should trust...
That pesky word of warning: This story contains erotic content involving a demon. And while he is in some ways more "human" than the men in my previous stories, he does have features which may not be to some readers' taste. Think horns, and a wicked tail. If this is not your cup of tea, please read elsewhere for your own comfort.
Available now on Kindle. Other formats can currently be purchased through Smashwords immediately, and will be available soon from all the usual retailers.
