Obsessed Coming Soon!
I am quite delighted to announce that the anthology of erotic romance, Obsessed, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel and published by Cleis Press, is set for official release on August 1! Rachel has just released the table of contents and introduction, and they may be found on the anthology’s website here.
I am very excited that my story “Then” is included in Obsessed. It happens that this story is a sequel to my story “If” that is found in the erotic romance anthology Passion (also edited by Rachel and published by Cleis) that was released last year. Writing a “sequel” as such was not anything I had ever done, but shortly before I began working on a submission for Obsessed, it occurred to me that there was more story to be told about the characters in “If.” The timing happened to coincide so that I got to conduct this experiment, if you will, just in time to submit the follow-up story to “If” to Rachel’s call for her next anthology of erotic romance.
As has not been unusual, I am completely thrilled to be in the company of some of my favorite erotica authors in this anthology, including Donna George Storey, Kristina Wright, Charlotte Stein, Justine Elyot, Andrea Dale, and numerous others as well as Rachel herself! I can hardly wait for my contributor copies to come.
According to Rachel’s blog, though Obsessed is slated to be officially released and available on Kindle August 1, it may end up showing up by mid-July! It is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders now.
Love,
Emerald
I froze. That was a trick question if there ever was one. Especially since Chris already knew the answer.

Congratulations, Emerald! I’m glad the other shoe has dropped, premise/conclusionwise. ; )
Congrats! Can’t wait (um, love your teaser there).
How cool that you wrote a sequel and got it published in a collection by the same editor!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much you guys! Yeah, I found it really fun/cool how it worked out too.
I very much appreciate your all coming by and your support. :)

Sexy teaser, Emerald. I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t read “If” yet, so I’m looking forward to reading them back to back!
Hi Jacque—thank you so much! And pfffft, embarrassed—are you kidding? ;) I’ve so appreciated your support and every time you have read any of my work. I can hardly imagine it even occurring to me to find it lacking that you hadn’t read any particular piece!
If you do end up reading both of them, thank you in advance, and of course I hope you enjoy them. :)
Thank you for coming by! Xoxoxoxo
