Passion Forthcoming!
There have been a number of things I have been wanting to blog about lately; for a variety of reasons, I obviously haven’t. Mostly this is because I was out of town much of last week and have been experiencing inconsistent Internet access at home the past couple weeks (that has presumably been fixed now). Really, I am utterly behind on all kinds of Internet-related endeavors right now!
I want to announce, however, that my story “If” has been accepted for publication in Rachel Kramer Bussel‘s forthcoming erotic romance anthology, Passion, to be published by Cleis Press and released in November! I feel especially excited about this because I have not considered erotic romance to be a genre/angle toward which I have tended to feel inclined or certainly to specialize in. So I’m delighted this story seemed to work for the book, and I look forward to its being featured alongside work from authors such as Portia Da Costa, Saskia Walker, Justine Elyot, Donna George Storey, and numerous regulars in the erotic romance genre! The entire table of contents is listed on the anthology’s blog here.
Passion isn’t due out until November of this year, but it may be pre-ordered on Amazon now, and I suspect there will be more to come on the Passion blog as the release gets closer!
Love,
Emerald
I took the empty seat directly across from Hayden and did my best to ignore the fluttering in my stomach as I turned my attention to the cake on my plate. It was dark chocolate, with a layer of raspberries in the middle and creamy white frosting on top. I scooped up a dollop of frosting and gave it a delicate lick as I listened to Sarah talk about invitations. Nodding, I ran my tongue over my frosting-sweetened lips and glanced up to see Hayden watching me. I blushed and looked down—though not before I caught the deliberate interest beneath his cool gaze.

Congrats! Such a sexy cover! Such a tasty excerpt!
That’s positively wonderful! Nothing “iffy” about that. : )
Fabulous, Emerald! I always know an anthology’s a good’un when you’re in it. I loved ‘Power Over Power’ – your stories always make me think.
So wonderful to be in Passion with you, Emerald and Justine! And I love your new photo in that emerald corset.
Craig — thank you!
Jeremy — LOL, thank you!
Justine — Thank you so much about “Power over Power.” I’m delighted to share pages with you too!
Donna — Oh, thank you for the picture comment. I had a little photo series recently in the green corset. :) And indeed I am delighted to be in Passion with you!!

Thank you Danielle! Lovely to see you! Xoxo
Great teaser Emerald, I’m really looking forward to your story and this anthology. Being a bit of a hopeless romantic, as well as a certified freak, I love seeing the two come together in a story. I thought ‘The Plant on the Mantle’ did this quite nicely too…
“Being a bit of a hopeless romantic, as well as a certified freak”
LOL! Seriously, I laughed out loud when I read that. I suggest you put that in your official bio. ; )
Anyway, thank you so much, both for looking forward to “If” and for the comment about “The Plant on the Mantel.” Much appreciate your coming by! : )
