Leave it to Jeremy Edwards. I give him an inch and he takes six miles. Or six stories, rather.
A while back, I asked him if he wanted to play along in the new MindFuck Fiction venture, and hurray, he said yes! And then, like the fantastic author that he is, he delivered. Here’s what he [...]

Alison Tyler is a beast. No, not the kind of Beast that slides through Beauty’s dreams. The other kind — the kind that is a powerhouse of projects and books and writing, the kind that always has a million potions simmering on the back burners of her writer’s stove, the kind who announces things like [...]

It has been a busy, busy week, as you might imagine. Between trying to tackle all bazillion of my goals at once (yeah, there’s a lot, don’t even look at them, I’m not) and trying to catch up on everything else that’s going on, plus plan for two trips in August, I’ve got my [...]

I know I’ve said it before, but I love doing readings. I never used to. They used to make me nervous as hell. I’d have to eat a cookie beforehand. Listen so closely to the readers in front of me that I forgot I was getting ready to stand up there myself. Use the bathroom [...]

Sex in the great outdoors…I write about it a lot, now that I think about it. Far more than I actually have sex outside. I’ve written about sex while canoeing, sex while camping, sex in the ocean, sex on the sand, sex in the snow and in the snow again… Lately, I’ve had sex [...]

I must be in a gambling, gamboling, gimbling mood. I’m working on stories, as many as a deck of cards. As varied. Some winners. Some, as always, losers. But here are the ones I’m kissing this week, the ones I’m blowing on, the ones I’m betting on to bring in the money:
Turn over the one-eyed [...]

Couple of lovely review this week that I thought I’d share.
This first looks at Richard Labonte’s new collection, Best Gay Romance. The review has great things to say in general about the book, and praises quite a few stories, including a few of the ones that I loved as well. It also has this to [...]

Rachel Kramer Bussel, editor of the Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica, just pointed out this lovely review of the book, including a look at my story, “Perfect Bound,” over at Essin Em.
My two favorite stories, are, without a doubt, Perfect Bound, by Shanna Germain, and Reunion, by Madlyn March.
You’d be surprised to know that Perfect Bound is [...]

Tonight, I’ll be reading my erotic stories and poems on Blog Talk Radio’s Air Atta Ca show. (Jeremy turned me onto the program when he did one a few weeks back). This will be my very first online/blog radio reading, so I’m a little nervous. But I’ve got some great stories picked out, as well [...]

Seriously, you want to enter this contest. You do. Even if you don’t know it.

This is a segue of some sort, I’m sure, but I sometimes forget how far “out there” I am in my own head. I write erotica for a living, and I come to think that’s normal. I’m open-minded about sexuality and I come to think that’s normal. I’m comfortable with my naked body–and other’s [...]

Oh, my, my. As Alison Tyler always says, “I’ve been a bad girl.” (Well, she doesn’t say that I’ve been a bad girl–she’s usually talking about herself–but that’s just because she’s too kind to say it about me). Or maybe she says, “I’ve been a naughty girl.”
Either way, you get the picture (don’t you?). So, [...]

Things are bumping along. Smooth is not a word that I’m allowed to use this week, I don’t think, in relation to anything, so I think I’ll just stop aiming for that to happen. Here’s what is, has and seems to be happening instead:
Shorts: Too many ideas. Too much desire to write them down. I’m [...]

Just got word that my story, “How to Spank Me,” has been accepted for publication in Naughty Spanking 1, from Xcite Press. This is one of the only second-person stories I’ve ever written, and it was originally published in (hold on…I have to go look it up…how sad is that?)…Oh yes, the great Got a [...]
Shanna writes about sex, death, kinks, leather, lust, sluts, and whatever other dark, dirty and delicious things reside in her brain. She swears a lot too.
She believes in freedom of speech, but (mostly) has no desire to corrupt those who don't wish to be corrupted. If you're looking for clean, cautious or controlled, please look elsewhere. If you're under 18, you might try the wonderful Scarleteen.

I’m sure I’ve covered this topic before, if not here then in conversation with fellow writers, at the very least. Possibly to my students, or at readings. You’d think it was obvious, but apparently it’s not, and thus, I need to say it again (caution: Rant ahead. If you’re not up to it, feel free [...]
