What with the squeeing about the sale to the Mammoth Book of Erotic Quickies, and the "buy my book" bouncing over Bargain, I forgot to report the *other* bit of Mammoth anthology news, which is that Alex and I were told that the Mammoth Book of Lesbian Erotica (2007) is out in ebook format. We don't normally do f/f, but some years ago I saw a call for submissions for an anthology of funny lesbian erotica called "My dog ate my dildo", and we were so taken with the call that we wanted to write something for it. Alas, the original market was one of those cancelled when the publisher was hit by freak weather events, and we ended up submitting it to Mammoth. "Love is blind" duly appeared in what is indeed a mammoth anthology of lesbian erotica. The treeware edition is still available five years on (and at cheap second-hand prices, too), but now you can get it on carefully hand-crafted electrons as well. Kindle links below, but I'm assuming it can also be found at the usual other fine book emporia online. Note that you're looking for the one edited by Brabara Cardy -- there was an earlier anthology of the same name by a different editor.

I haven't seen my contributor's copy yet and I haven't been into a bookshop this week, so I have no direct evidence that the book physically exists, but Amazon UK says it now has stock of the anthology where you'll find my latest short story.

Alex and I saw a call for submissions for an anthology of funny lesbian erotica, and while we don't normally do f/f, we liked the premise of the anthology so much that it sparked an idea. Unfortunately, while the story was held for further consideration, the anthology never came out -- a victim of the publisher having to rearrange its schedule after Hurricane Katrina. So I submitted it to the Mammoth Book of Lesbian Erotica, and it was accepted. The anthology was released on 30 August, and is available from Amazon UK and other European Amazon sites, if I'm understanding the foreign language pages correctly. It's published by a UK publisher, and at the moment doesn't appear to be available from Amazon US, though doubtless it will turn up there eventually. Here's our blurb for the story:

Love Is Blind
Contemporary erotic romance short story (with Alex Woolgrave), f/f, mild BDSM, 2800 words. It's a hard life being a writer's partner, especially when they want to try out an idea for practicality -- at four in the morning...
