Lesbian Erotica

I heard today that a US anthology of erotica in which one of my naughtier stories is due to appear will not now be launched until 2007. Disappointing news, since I had been expecting it - and my fee! - to arrive later this spring. But better late than never, I guess. It's a good story too, a lesbian story - a topic I've been increasingly dealing with in my work - with some strong feisty characters: sort of a female Philip Marlowe crossed with ... I don't know, Indiana Jones (i.e. in the last crusade rather than in the temple of doom)?

I'm not sure her character came across as quite that compelling in the end, but it's a fine piece of self-propaganda and a readable story. I look forward to that anthology.
