How To Write A Dirty Story

I think it vital that I, like any writer, keep learning the craft as I continue writing and selling my own words. For that reason I carefully read How To Write A Dirty Story by Susie Bright.

I’ve enjoyed Ms. Bright’s fiction and non-fiction for many years now, and was not disappointed by her exploration and explanation of the crafting of fine erotica. I found the wisdom contained within the book to be well worth it’s cost and the time I devoted to it.

For anyone seeking to write erotica well, this book has something to offer, and will help.

The Last Templar

I found The Last Templar by Raymond Khoury to be a fast, action packed, and engaging book. It is the story of a modern day treasure hunt with the good guys and bad racing against each other for the prize.

I’d recommend The Last Templar to anyone who enjoys action packed thrillers.

Horror Stories

Last night I finished Horror Stories by J.A. Konrath. The book is a collection of flash fiction, some good, and some bad. For those who enjoy short horror, there will be something to love in the collection, and the book is very reasonably priced.

Freedom

While on vacation I read Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. I had been looking forward to the book and was frankly disappointed in it. The story of a dysfunctional family, I found the characters difficult to enjoy, and can only assume that the accolades received by the book came about due to the story’s happy ending.

The book contained a handful of erotic passages; unfortunately they were poorly written and rather absurd.

I would not recommend the book, especially given the very high price commanded for the electronic version.

Afraid

As a lover of the horror genre I was not disappointed in my reading of Afraid by Jack Kilborn over the weekend. A story of the U.S. military gone horribly wrong I found it to be a fun and fast paced read.

Watch prices however, I discovered a radical pricing difference from seller to seller.
