Welcome to Stories for the Sexually Literate

Erotic fiction with literary leanings—and a sense of humor.

I write stories about women who are happily married—and still hungry.

My fiction lives in the space between erotic and emotional, between what we say we want and what we’re finally brave enough to ask for. These are stories of women who still love their husbands—and give themselves permission to want more.

You’re in the right place if you’re drawn to:

  • Complex, confident women

  • Loving but sexually charged marriages

  • High-heat, high-quality erotica that doesn’t condescend to its characters (or readers)

Desire here doesn’t fade; it deepens. These stories explore trust, temptation, and the quiet thrill of being truly seen. I want to open the door gently, and see what happens—together, with you.
