Getting excited as I get closer to publication: the content is coming!

The title says it all, doesn't it?

Of course, anyone would be happy and excited when they are within two, three weeks of publishing their first erotic stories (yes, that's stories, plural). The last month-plus of resurrecting an old plot line that I had forgotten about, plus revising an old story that was nearly 7,000 words into a 45,000-word short novel, and a new story that I had written earlier this year, has been a little bit of a whirlwind. Of course, when you throw paid work into the mix, and being a house hottie like I am, that can turn the past month-plus into a blur.

And it definitely has.

Let me catch you up and tell you what I have coming down the pipeline in December, seeing as we're practically on the verge of the final month of 2019:

Watching Her Turn Bi

(Shawna note: Will contain female on female love, person of power, plus allusions to male on male)

This story was an old story that I had written about 16, 17 years ago, but had written it from a different point of view. I decided to completely re-write the story, change the POV, and I was certainly in a zone while writing this piece. I'm going to market it as a New Adult Coming of Age tale of bisexual exploration, as Jenni Jensen, a vivacious 18-year-old, has an unrequited crush on her neighbor and best friend, Lindsay Pearson. It takes the reader through Jenni's POV, where she going through her feelings for Lindsay, but not only that, takes her down a path she hadn't thought possible -- except in her deepest, darkest fantasies.

This is a story that I've been feeding my horny minions in private over the course of writing the book, and the response -- the arousal, the soaked panties -- has been tremendous. I'm banking on this book to get into the Amazon Top 1,000 in the erotica category, and stay there for an incredibly long time.

In addition, I'm planning a prequel for this story, so I'm hoping a lot of people buy it, read it, and let me know just how much I soaked them so writing the second book will be well worth it.

A Discreet Threesome

(Shawna note: Will contain hotwife/interracial/bi husband)

This is a new story that I came up with back in February, and I had intended it to be longer than it is. Far longer, in fact. It was, in theory, a story that would have harkened to the erotic thrillers of the early 1990s that ran occasionally on Cinemax Late Night, but I don't think I could have executed that well enough... although, now that I'm thinking about it, I probably could.

This tale tells of Tim and Lisa, a lovely married couple that have been spicing things up in the bedroom. The two of them fantasize about adding a black man into the bedroom, and Lisa ups the ante: she would love to see Tim pleasing the bull, too.

I absolutely lust hotwife stories, and I also drip for bisexual men locked in a sexual embrace -- especially when a wife or girlfriend is involved or watching. I just do; boy-boy love is so fucking hot! I know that some won't like the bi portion of the story -- I have another story like this percolating, but with a completely different angle -- but I would hope a lot of people are open-minded enough to at least try the story.

Untitled first Sarah Trumbull: Slut Detective serial

(Shawna note: Will contain female on female, female on male... and other, can't spoil that)

Lara Longstaff, a dear erotic author friend, has been pushing me to write serials for years, and I decided to take this piece, which I had started six years ago (I had posted it here on my blog), and turn it into a serialized story. I know that a lot of authors swear by the serial -- Lara being one, Lexie Renard another -- and I'm hoping that Sarah Trumbull can be a solid serial coming out periodically.

In the first book, Sarah is diddling away when in walks Vivienne Abernathy, a gorgeous, statuesque blonde. Her conundrum: She suspects her husband is cheating on her, and hires Sarah to find out the truth ... but not before dining on the slut detective's yummy little pussy.

And as you can see, there's an "other" in the story. I can't spoil that, you'll have to read it to see what I mean.

So there you have it. The publishing schedule hasn't been determined yet, but I'm hoping you will buy, download, and diddle. That's why I write the stories I write!

At the moment, I don't have covers settled, but we'll see how that comes about in the next couple of weeks. Of course, they will be on my blog when I do get them all.

Thanks for reading, and may your panties be wet on this extended weekend!

A Walk Down Memory Lane: Cinemax Late Night and how it molded me as a writer

We all have that one moment where we found our sexuality. Some were completely straight. Some discovered they were, like me, bisexual. Some are trisexual -- they'll try anything once. And you have pansexuals, too. I might fall under that category, now that I think of it. For me, finding out I liked men AND women was a massive thrill, but also led to a boatload of confusion for me. How do I handle those feelings? I ultimately chose to marry a woman. Don't get me wrong, though, I still like a throbbing dick from time to time, with my wife's blessing (usually with her in the corner, her hand in her panties, but that might be a story to write at a later time).

I came of age at a great time: the mid-1990s was epic. The internet was still developing, and there was no such thing as online porn (yet). But every Friday night in 1997 and '98, I'd stay up late and catch the softcore movies on Cinemax, usually on after midnight. This was also before I went out to bars to meet young men and women, so I had my hands full ... of my breasts, and a hand inside my panties rubbing myself ... on those nights of my late teens.

While watching, I didn't find myself worked up with the hetero scenes; sure, I got damp (watching or hearing sex was always a turn-on), but did it make me want to get off? No.

For that particular exercise, I had to wait for the girl-girl scenes, and you knew that with Cinemax softcore, you'd get it between :45-:55 minutes into the movie. And sometimes I grew disappointed when there wasn't one during that time. I depended on those scenes, because I wanted to rub to a healthy orgasm, then go to bed because I had to wake up and go to work the next morning.

Yet as I look back, I remember paying attention to the story construction: it wasn't just wham, bam, thank you Shawna. There was substance in the acting, and those movies brought me deeper into the story. It taught me, in some ways, how to construct my plots. It wasn't something I got in high school English, that's for sure.

Simply put, I like story porn, especially ones with a good girl-girl scene. I don't like vignettes. I like to be entertained with a story, and I like to reach my climax as the actors reached theirs. Preferably the actresses, I should say. That has led me to construct my stories the way I do; I want to tell a full story while getting you, the reader, off.

A few of the movies that I found -- re-discovered -- recently on PornHub had wonderful storylines. Here are four of them:

Friend of the Family (1995)

This movie may be one of the first erotic B movies that I watched. I fell in lust with Lisa Boyle and her beautiful breasts watching this, but I felt dismayed that her character and the character of Shauna O'Brien's didn't get naked together. They kissed, sure, and that led me to believe there would be a sex scene between the two. Alas.

O'Brien's character was also good, as Elke. Elke had sex with pretty much every member of the family, except Lisa Boyle's character. She is sexually uninhibited, and that leads to a better life for the family in terms of openness, frankness, and the communication between family members improves.

Club Wild Side (1998)

Quite frankly, Club Wild Side may be the best one I've ever watched. It had your coming of age tale with the character of Haley, played by Sage Kirkpatrick, moving to the West Coast to explore life. She moves in with a friend of her parents and his wife, and those two are having affairs.

Haley's trip to the Club opens her eyes about sex. It also doesn't hurt that back at the friend's house, there is a sculpted pool boy -- rawr -- whom she has sex with once, and there is an amazing girl-girl scene between Haley and the wife of her parents' friend, played by the yummy and adorable Lauren Hays.

Of course, it also has Monique Parent in it. Who my age didn't love Monique and her tight body? She is an amazing actress and is still acting today.

I'm Watching You (1997)

I remember this movie vividly. A young woman is drawn into a world of voyeurism. I love voyeurism. I love seeing people have sex, I love hearing people have sex, and LoriDawn Messuri's character got an eyeful. Hence the film's title.

There is a great girl-girl scene between her and Jacqueline Lovell, a statuesque blonde with lovely breasts. She did a number of great movies, including Femalien. That girl-girl scene ranks up there as one of the hottest things in the world, although the two end up in a drunken tryst on a couch that Lovell's character instigates.

Testing The Limits (1998)

A couple about to marry goes on a trip to the mountains, and gets their world rocked. It's a story about Mike and Toni -- Toni played by the utterly adorable Brandy Davis, whose small breasts were virtually nuzzled in my dreams quite a bit -- and you can feel in the story that they are unsure about sleeping with other people -- but they do, and it strengthens their relationship.

Two girl-girl scenes in this one, including a Brandy Davis-Lorissa McComass (RIP) shoot that was tastefully done. Actually, both were. One was under a shower.

This one opened my eyes to the possibilities of outside of strong relationship sex.

Please take note: I didn't want to go into too much detail about these movies. I wanted to give a Cliff's Notes version, and you can always go and find the movies on PH. Unfortunately, I've tried to find these movies on DVD here in the US, with no luck.

Honestly, I think softcore stories still have a place in our society, in our sexual viewing habits, and I say bring these types of movies back!
