Today is the debut my new book, Three Kinds of Asking For It— a trio of erotic novellas by three of my favorite authors. Would you like to read an excerpt? Here is the opening of "Bending," by Greta Christina:
"She loved being bent over. More than any fiddling that might precede it, more than any fumbling sex act that might follow. The moment of being bent over was like a sex act to Dallas, like foreplay and climax blended into one swooning, too-short moment. A hand on her neck, pressing gently but firmly downward, felt like a tongue on her clit; a voice in her ear, telling her calmly and reasonably to bend over and pull down her pants, felt like a cock in her cunt... "
You can see why this grabbed my attention! You can read the rest of Greta's opening chapter here, and I hope you will be stunned enough to demand the rest of the book.
Here's our latest praises:
From Publishers' Weekly:
Susie Bright Presents: Three Kinds of Asking for It
by Eric Albert, Greta Christina and Jill Soloway
Who needs a beach for this summer treat? Bright's imprimatur guarantees heat sufficient to melt an ice floe. As her editorial picks generally do, these novellas deliver not just heat but laughter, poignancy and even the occasional deep thought.
"The world is full of emptiness; without it there'd be nothing left": thus does a witch console a client left empty after a phenomenal sex spree in Albert's "Charmed I'm Sure."
And so it goes with Christina's heroine, Dallas, whose obsession is the eponymous "Bending." When an Internet find, Betsy, arrives to fulfill Dallas's submissive fantasies, it's "the best thing, ever"-except instead of satisfying Dallas, it seems to rob her of her defining passion.
Clever Bright saves dessert for last: Soloway's hilarious and sweetly lubricious confessions of 14-year-old Jodi, who has a mad crush on her best friend's father. Written in teen talk, "Jodi K" sometimes has the awkwardness of a translation. But it's enriched by fully realized portraits of family function and dysfunction, and even while sending up teenage erotic confessionals, it feels written from the heart as well as other regions of the body.
I'll be running excerpts from Eric and Jill's stories in the next couple weeks, as well as interviews with all three of the authors. If you have a question for Greta, Eric, or Jill, please do send it my way, and I'll put my editorial thumbscrews to them and extract the answer! Actually, I bet it will be very easy...
Here are bios & photos of Jill, Eric, and Greta.
Here are some of the reviews we've received from by Annie Sprinkle, Francesca Lia Block, Kirkus, Dossie Easton, Alan Ball, Sarah Silverman, KRK Ryden, and more... I'm so proud of these authors; they deserve every word of this praise.
