Write about zombies? Not me. Write about zombies who feed off sex? Well, that’s more likely. Add in a horror element--now I’m all in. January of 2011 I was about halfway through my MFA in Creative Writing. We were given a writing prompt that, we were told, was designed to push us “out of our comfort” zone. The assignment: read a tabloid newspaper, like The Weekly World News , long time supporter of Bat Boy , or the National Enquirer, currently keeping readers up to date on the happenings with Matilda, the Cat from Another Planet, then write a scene based on one of the features. Being the good student that I was, I dug right in to the assignment. The two articles that inspired me most were  Zombie Barbies! by Frank Lake of the Weekly World News and  A Very Zombie Holiday also by Frank Lake. Since I was soon to be on my way to Boston, I was also inspired by a very real blizzard wrapping its way around the East coast. Before I move on to the rest of my account of...

Servant of the Undead, Book 1 in the Tribe of the Undead series Undead seeking human captives. A blizzard and raw desires. Passion and fear.    ~~~ Boston is hostage to a blizzard & rumors spread about zombies roaming the streets, looking for human flesh. Hayden Thomas, tabloid writer, is out to get some fresh news about the undead. At the Boston Public Library, he uncovers research about a tribe that survives by having constant sex with human instead of eating their flesh. Mattie, one of the undead out tracking a rival tribe, finds Hayden and uses him for sex. Afterward, she discovers his research and acquires him as her sexual servant, planning to use him for information as well as sustenance. CHAPTER ONE "Do It" Hayden Thomas shifted on the wooden captain’s chair, trying without success to ease the stiffness in his spine. Whoever selected the chairs for the Boston Public Library obviously never sat in them. The damn things had no armrests and w...

WAM, wet and messy fetish, is exactly what it sounds like. A person becomes sexually aroused by seeing a slick mess-covered person or being messed with a streaming liquidy substance. Dirt, oil, paint, shaving foam, whipped cream, slime, ketchup…if its slick and has the potential to coat and make a mess, it’s good for WAM. People with this interest refer to themselves as messey fun folk, sploshers, and wammers, and may prefer to have the mess applied to themself or prefer watching it be applied to others.  Those who prefer to get messy themselves enjoy the feeling of the substance on their skin, the overpowering scent of it as it coats them or the sensation it creates when interacting with others. Or, it may simply be the idea of being “a mess” that turns them on. For others, its not getting dirty themselves, its seeing the mess on others that does it. In either case, the substance may be applied to bare skin or inside or over clothing. In the case of being applied under or...

Best Friends Never Lexi Welks wants two things—respect and a college acceptance letter that’ll get her out of too-good-to-be-true Cherry Grove. The problem is that the nasty, life-ruining secret she shares with Monica Sanders is about to go public. If their ugly truth comes out, her plans for college? Not happening. And that’s only the beginning of her end. Monica is the kind of student teachers adore—well behaved, hard-working and always follows the rules. She’s the kind of friend other girls follow—well-dressed, popular and always knows the right thing to do. If only they knew the truth about her.

Show pony, art by John Willie A recent reading of A. N. Roquelaure’s Beauty’s Kingdom made me curious. About what you ask. Spanking? Sex slaves? We are talking about Ann Rice, after all. But nope, I wasn’t wondering about those things. I was curious about ponies. To be more accurate, people pretending to be ponies: ponyboys and ponygirls. If you read the second two of the Sleeping Beauty series, you know doubt remember Tristan’s fate of being forced to pull the Captain of the Guard’s cart in book 2, Beauty’s Punishment , then being sent to the stables as a punishment in book 3, Beauty’s Release . Ann Rice’s latest book, the fourth in the series, Beauty’s Kingdom , features extensive description of the stables and human ponies. It was that lengthy detail that got me wondering about real life human ponies and ponyplay. Ponyplay is just what it sounds like, animal role-play when one or more person involved pretends to be a pony. Ponyplay may or may not involve BDSM and in s...
