More About the Author

Called a trollop with a laptop by East Bay Express, Alison Tyler is naughty and she knows it.

Over the past 20 years, Ms. Tyler has written more than 25 explicit novels, including Learning to Love It, Strictly Confidential, Sweet Thing, Sticky Fingers, and Something About Workmen (all published by Black Lace), as well as Rumors, Tiffany Twisted, and Melt With You (Cheek). Her novels and short stories have been translated into Japanese, Dutch, German, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish. Her stories have appeared in more than 100 anthologies.

When not writing saucy short stories, Ms. Tyler edits erotic anthologies. She's recently completed her 50th collection, Alison's Wonderland (Harlequin, 2010). Her best-selling titles include Naughty Fairy Tales from A to Z (Plume), Naked Erotica (Pretty Things Press), and Best Bondage Erotica (Cleis Press).


Ms. Tyler is loyal to coffee (black), lipstick (red), and tequila (straight). She has tattoos, but no piercings; a wicked tongue, but a quick smile; and bittersweet memories, but no regrets. She believes it won't rain if she doesn't bring an umbrella, prefers hot and dry to cold and wet, and loves to spout her favorite motto: You can sleep when you're dead. She chooses Led Zeppelin over the Beatles, the Cure over NIN, and the Stones over everyone. Yet although she appreciates good rock, she has a pitiful weakness for 80s hair bands.

In all things important, she remains faithful to her partner of 15 years, but she still can't choose just one perfume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get dressed up to get down, July 14, 2008

This review is from: D Is for Dress-Up (Erotic Alphabet) (Paperback)

Of the four of these alphabet books I have, this is my favorite overall. With most anthologies like this I know there's a good chance I won't love every story, but this one comes very close!

There are some fun costumes being tried on, like school girl outfits ("Smoking in the Boys Room), Dorothy ("Dorothy for the Day"), a harem girl ("A Long-Held Fantasy), 1920s theme ("The Mysterious Affair at Styles"), and even two stories with cross-dressing ("Dominated Dolly" and "Lipstick").

Not everyone here puts on a costume just for fun. Some put on new clothes and transform transform themselves with new fancy underwear ("French Cut"), sexy leather boots ("Puss-in-Boots"), latex outfits ("Skin on Skin"), a prom dress ("Rags to Riches"), and a whole makeover ("Edit Me").

The only story I didn't enjoy as much is "Presenting Paulette". It's still a good story, I just didn't enjoy the dress-up part of it. With all of the others, much of the fun came from reading about the characters dressing up. The action is as varied as the clothes, with group sex, straight, lesbian, and even some male submission.

D is chock full of yummy tidbits. Just like all of the snacks Alison dishes out, this book delivers.

I never thought I'd be so excited about the alphabet - go figure.
