My copies aren’t in my hot little hands yet, but I’m looking forward to reading. In the meantime, you can view the website and read interviews with many of the authors.

Guiltless Pleasure Publishing is actively seeking erotic writers for both Ebook and print publication. If erotic genre novels are your forte, check them out. They’re looking for strong, erotic genre novels of any sexual orientation. In addition, there are active forums on the site where you can get some tough-love concrit on a work in progress, join in the (definitely only for fun) Round Robin, or talk erotica or writing to your heart’s content. You’ll need to be registered on the site to view the forums, but that part’s painless.

Why Guiltless Publishing?

As a new kid on the erotica block, GPP encourages writers in many ways. There’s the forums, of course, and importantly, your submission is carefully considered, often by more than one editor. If you’re accepted, you’ll get a thorough (and I mean THOROUGH) one-on-one editing service, and a very decent advance plus royalties. No shonky vanity press here. If you’re rejected, you’ll get more than the usual “Sorry, not for us” two sentence rejection letter. You’ll get the specific reasons why your story was rejected, suggestions for improvement and possibly alternate markets that may work for you.

Their maiden Ebook, “Song of the Fallen: Book 1 -Counterpoint” by Rachel Haimowitz is due out next week, with the print version to follow in June. You can even read the first FOUR chapters online, so you’ll know before you buy that you’re going to enjoy it.

Cheyenne Blue: The Interview.

You can keep up with Penelope at here.

I have been writing though (of course), and I have some rather wonderful acceptances to prove it.

My story “Discovering Donnie”, which is a rather tender love story, will be included in “Girl Crush: Women’s Erotic Fantasies” edited by R. Gay and published by Cleis on 1 June 2010. The table of contents for this book looks rather wonderful. I’ll be sharing between the covers with Rachel Kramer Bussel, Shanna Germain, Teresa Lamai, R. Gay and others.

Then “A Story About Sarah” is coming in “Lesbian Lust: Erotic Stories” edited by Sacchi Green and published by Cleis on 1 August 2010.

This is one of my favorite stories of late – a tale set in a mining camp in Western Australia, full of red dirt and sunshine.

A couple of reprints: “What If?” is being reprinted in The Mammoth Book of Threesomes and Moresomes . This is a tale of wishful thinking… Or is it? That anthology comes out in October from Running Press.

Then one that’s already out: Best Lesbian Romance 2010. Radclyffe edited this anthology from Cleis, and it includes my story “Five”. I’m going to be rather boastful and quote part of this review from Three Dollar Bill Reviews.

Some of the stories deal with the abject heartbreak and devastation when a relationship ends, and how fate often provides a chance for new happiness when it’s least expected. “Five” by Cheyenne Blue is a stunning tale of Tess who is nursing a broken heart after her partner of five years moves out. A girl at the local bagel shop, and changes connected to the number five, help Tess begin the healing process. This story captures so vividly that sense of being lost when a relationship ends, what the other person takes when they leave, and how it’s necessary to reshape what is left behind in order to move on.

And finally, “Wing Walker”, which was first published in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories will be reprinted in Maxim Jakubowski’s “Mammoth Best New Erotica Vol 11. At least, I think it’s volume 11; I admit to losing count.

As to “Wing Walker”, here’s an except from a review of “The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories” from Erotica Revealed which sums it up pretty well.

“Wing Walker” by Cheyenne Blue is the most original story in the anthology. The biplane pilot from an aerial show tells his wing walker that he’s going to find her a lover. She laughs off the offer, and as months pass, he doesn’t follow through—until he does. On a practice flight meant to test the newcomer’s skills out on the wing, he shows her that he has moves she’d never imagined. This may be a flight of fancy, but it’s a good one.

Until next time.

An acceptance that I’ve been slack about mentioning. My Australian lesbian cowboy story, “Cully’s Run” will be in Sacchi Green and Rakelle Valencia’s latest anthology from Cleis Press. I’m rather fond of the love interest in this story.

“Marathon Woman” was up on Clean Sheets, one of my favorite erotica sites. I also have copies of “Lipstick on Her Collar”. edited by Sacchi Green and Rakelle Valencia. I’m the first story in the book, which makes me very happy.

Some new acceptances too, some going back quite a way. Firstly, “College Reunion” will be in the Mammoth Book of Erotic Confessions, ETA May 2009. That one will be under a made up name (What! And you thought Cheyenne Blue was invented! . Then “White Rush” and “Lake Logan” will both be in Alison Tyler’s upcoming “Frenzy” put out by Cleis Press. Also upcoming from Cleis is Radclyffe’s “Best Lesbian Romance 2009″. My story “Eyes” has made the cut for that. Then, after an absence of a couple of years, I have a story, “What If?”, in “Best Women’s Erotica 2009″. And finally, I’m also short listed for Tristan Taormino’s “Best Lesbian Erotica”. I’ll keep you posted!
