Did you know that thus far, readers have downloaded A Slip of the Lip 18,534 times?

Wow.

I would say that's impressive, except that goes without saying.

To add yourself to the ranks of lip-lock loving readers, check out the e-book here. My contribution is called "Sugar High," and the entire collection is absolutely free.

The Ghostess with the Mostest

October 31, 2009

I adore Halloween - chomping on candy corn, scooping the goop out of plump round pumpkins, and, of course, playing dress-up.

Being yourself is way overrated. Be whoever you darn well want to be.

I usually dress up as Like a Virgin-esque Madonna. I've also been Laverne DeFazio ('cause she's one L of a dame), a bumblebee, and a chocolate sandwich cookie.

But what I haven't been, what I really should be, is Alice in Wonderland. I think I'd look pretty fetching in that blue and white frock you see before you. Actually, that's one of the tamest Alice outfits I've come across.

Next year, perhaps. Perhaps next year I will discover, as the lyrics to Raven-Symoné's "Alice" profess, just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Dot, Dot, What a Girl I Got

October 29, 2009

When we shower together, we don't have to turn on hot.

I saw the coolest thing at Barnes & Noble yesterday.

It's an erotic connect-the-dots calendar.

Isn't that neat? You know, for something that's heterosexist?

If you are hot to dot... er, trot... well, actually, both work pretty well in this instance... then I think this novelty is right up your alley.

Five Delightful Divas

October 27, 2009

Okay, so only four delightful divas are featured in that photo. If you want to see five delightful divas, you'll have to check out this review of I Do: An Anthology in Support of Marriage Equality.

Lit critic Jaime says that the anthology "is definitely worth the money" and "enjoyed the conversational tone" of my story, though apparently not the spelling of my name (it's double-L Allison, please). The reviewer also liked my piece because "it's so nice to think [love] can happen as naturally as breathing."

It's great when readers get your work, isn't it?

Don't Get Fresh with Me

October 24, 2009

I was at a play the other day, and during intermission, the cast held a raffle.

My ticket got picked out of the fishbowl.

I got - I kid you not - a Bettie Page air freshener.

Bikini-scented.

Yum.

Sure beats those scratch-and-sniff stickers, doesn't it?

Please and Spank You

October 22, 2009

Ain't life sweet? I've got a story in the line-up for Sweet Love: Erotic Fantasies for Couples. This anthology is edited by sexpert Violet Blue and will be published by Cleis Press in April of 2010.

Violet's collection will feature my story, "A Week and a Whip," about a woman and her man (yes, I'm just as shocked as you are) enacting a first-time fantasy. Marnie's live-in lover Jesse is lacking in libido, and she's determined to kick his sex drive back into gear. With the aid of bondage tape...
