More About the Author

I write about my passions, which include baseball, erotica, gourmet food, martial arts, and travel. I write fantasy, science fiction, erotic fiction, paranormal romance, and anything else that stimulates my imagination.

In the erotica field, I've been published everywhere from Ms. magazine to Penthouse, and I'm in many, many anthologies and the Best American Erotica series. Susie Bright called me "simply one of the most important writers, editors, and innovators in contemporary American erotic literature." Erotic books I've authored include Black Feathers, White Flames, The Velderet, Mind Games, The Hot Streak, and The Siren and the Sword (Magic University, Book One). I've also edited many anthologies including Women of the Bite, Cowboy Lover, Sex In The System, Wicked Pleasures, SM Visions, for many different publishers, and many many books and ebooks for the independent publishing house I founded, Circlet Press. Those include Best Fantastic Erotica, Erotic Fantastic, Like an Animal, Like Crimson Droplets, and many others, both for Kindle and in paperback.

In science fiction/fantasy I have been published in Asimov's magazine, Strange Horizons, Absolute Magnitude, and many other places.

In baseball, I am the editor of the Maple Street Press YANKEES ANNUAL, author of The 50 Greatest Yankee Games, co-author of 50 Greatest Red Sox Games, the co-editor of THE FENWAY PROJECT, and co-editor of '75: The Red Sox Team That Saved Baseball. I write features for Yankees magazine and other publications. I have a web site of baseball essays, called Why I Like Baseball, at http://whyilikebaseball.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Provocative on Many Levels, November 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Taste of Midnight: Vampire Erotica (Erotic Vampire) (Paperback)

I thoroughly enjoyed each and every story in this anthology, which is unusual for me as I typically find one or two stories in a collection difficult to finish out of boredom or just plain dislike. These 11 tales are written from all different points of view and settings, one as fascinating and intriguing as the next. My two favorites, even though I've never considered myself into bestiality, have to be Tripping by Margaret L. Carter and Dream-Eater by Gary Bowen, which I had read previously in Gary Bowen's Winter of the Soul. Both are male/male-beast, but both are so sensuous and almost tender tales that I found myself re-reading them a couple of times. Tripping awakened memories of H. P. Lovecraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, read long years ago in high school. Another story in the anthology I really liked was The Only by Steve Eller, which brought to mind the beautiful love story of the 1985 movie Ladyhawke. As I composed this review, I had the book on my lap and kept flipping through it for particular reference, and actually changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars because it struck me again how unique and interesting each story is and that in all likelihood I will read the entire book again and again, a criteria I personally have for giving a book 5 stars. If you're looking for a thought-provoking, libido-stimulating read, then this is definitely it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fresh and tasty, April 26, 2001

This review is from: A Taste of Midnight: Vampire Erotica (Erotic Vampire) (Paperback)

This latest volume in the Vampire Erotica series is full of great sensual vampire stories with various couplings (male-female, female-female, male-male, human-beast, and even a transgendered character). Every story is at least intriguing and mentally stimulating, if not actually hot and steamy. The outstanding stories for me are by Raven Kaldera (which includes the transgendered person), Margaret L. Carter (one of the most erotic stories I've read in ages; male-male, human-beast), and Mary Anne Mohanraj. This anthology also includes stories by Gary Bowen, Renée M. Charles, Elizabeth Thorne, Pagan O'Leary, and a host of others. If you like erotica with a bite, then this tome is for you.
