Ann Jacobs is an award winning author of erotic romance novels that cover contemporary, BDSM, futuristic, paranormal, historical, and comedy genres. She believes that an erotic romance is, "...[T]he perfect combination of sex, sensuality, deep emotional involvement and lifelong commitment." This website lists all of her novels and gives a brief description and excerpt from each of them. There are also a couple of free stories and links to her blog and yahoo group. I always love reading about authors, and she has a nice bio section and a lot of pictures. It seems that she really enjoys her fans, so there are lots of fun things like contests and free bookmarks. I noticed that she has a lot of futuristic science fiction BDSM stories, cowboys, harems, and medieval content. So, if any of those trip your trigger, you should definitely take a look here. If you are an author, she has some great links to publishers, review sites, and writer's organizations as well. A neat little site! - Vamp

Are you a fan of romantic or erotic books and ebooks? Then you will love this site! The navigation can be a bit easy to get lost in, but the content is well worth it. There are lots of honest reviews of the literature, and all of them (that I read) had a very conversational and friendly tone to them. It was exactly like sitting down with a cup of coffee and talking this stuff over with a friend. They review all sorts of books, but the main focus is definitely erotica/romance. Aside from the reviews, they offer quite a bit more. There are organized live chats for fans, contests, interviews, an active forum, a bunch of free material to read, and a lot more. I was especially impressed with the Reader's Community Page which helped promote conversation and friendship amongst fans. It is a great page for aspiring writers, since it lists publishing sites and offers help and services to authors. There is a bookstore on the site. Some of the genres covered include fantasy, historical, GLBT, inspirational, thriller, and erotica. They are offered at reasonable prices for immediate download in html, .lit, and .pdf formats. All in all, this seems like a real labor of love produced by fans and independent writers within the genre. I was very impressed, especially with the sense of community. They do offer some paid services here (mostly promotional services for authors), but the prices are very upfront and easy to understand. A great site for writers and fans alike! - Vamp

Write-to-Excite aims to service all the women out there who enjoy erotica but find themselves woefully underrepresented in the erotic fiction that they find. No longer will you have to complain about the female characters not having exactly the same hair colour and name as you - WtE has got you covered with "personalized" erotic stories. What does "personalized" mean, you ask? It's like an adult version of those stories you can buy for kids with their name and a few details included in the plot. After registering for an account with WtE, you will fill out a few forms asking for details about your appearance and preferences (my breasts are "medium" size and "perky", I want my lover's name to be ____, etc). You can then read short samples of stories and select the type of story you want: romantic, threesome, bondage, etc. Then the good people at WtE will insert your details into the story so that when you read it the story appears to be about you! I personally found this concept a tad cheesy and unnecessary, but I'm sure there are women out there who have trouble projecting themselves into stories where the heroine doesn't have their name and height; and these women will most likely enjoy this site's services. You do get a free story just for signing up, so give it a try to see if you find it as cheesy as I did. - Shay

Lauren is a self-described suburban housewife and mom who got her start writing while on bedrest during a pregnancy. She has proven to be a prolific author over what is actually a very short time, offering several different series of novels via ebook or in paper. I saw two different paranormal werewolf series of books, a paranormal witch series, a contemporary romance series as well as a collection of stand-alone novels with a variety of themes. Many of those, but not all, have a paranormal theme. I was tickled to see that she also lives in the Seattle area - we do like our smut, we do we do. Stop by her site just to look at the cover art for her stories - some significant eye candy - but then I think if you read some of the excerpts offered you may find yourself ordering something. Encouraged! - Peter » More Info!

Pornartgraphy features the erotic writing of Katrina B, an adult film actress and model. Here, she offers a 226 page e-book in pdf format featuring short erotic stories and some photos of herself. The stories are very intense and erotic, but could definitely use proofreading. The photos at the end of the e-book are pin up style shots of Katrina that are extremely pixelated and poor quality. If you can get past the poor grammar, the stories are a fun read, and for $10 you can purchase the e-book and download it to your computer. Worth a look for those that love erotic stories. - Wolfe

Wow - this is my new favorite site! xNovel is an ever-growing archive of the golden age of pulp novels. The stuff that I hid in the coal bin or under my mattress during my formative years. This site is all free, making it a labor of love for the owner. Those dirty paperback books - from now-defunct publishing houses - from the 60's to the 80's are captured here in full. In many cases this is even including the original cover art. You can read it online or you can download in zipped text files to enjoy at your leisure. At time of review they have over 700 titles, searchable by author, by series, and so forth. They actively solicit help from folks of similar tastes to obtain, proofread, scan, and otherwise help in adding to the collection. Their links page is a great list of similarly minded sites. It's a simple little site with a simple little plan, and I love it. Two thumbs up. - Peter » More Info!

The text in this free site is a bit awkward, obviously translated from the original German. Please don't let that slow you down in your enjoyment of the photography presented here. The artist is Sabine Modotti, born in Italy but long residing and working in Germany. I thoroughly enjoyed her work, notable for the softcore sensuality and bright coloring. On the site are links to a downloadable book of her work as well. I saw nothing particularly hardcore, and for that matter saw no identifiable faces. What I did see is often clever, and always enjoyable. Recommended. - Peter

Perhaps your lust is aroused more by the literary than the visual? Maybe you require a sensual story personalized for your lover, as a special gift? Inky Blue Allusions might be just the thing for you. Once you've purchased a membership through PayPay, you can have serialized stories delivered to your (or your lover's) inbox two or three times a week; you can even hear some stories via MP3 downloads. There are links to short bios of the erotica authors and guidelines if you'd like to try your hand at producing stories for sale. Before you join, you can have a look at the first installment of several serialized stories to see if they are to your tastes. My only complaint about Inky Blue Allusions is the amount of advertising I found. Some of their advertising masquerades as content, so beware when clicking.

Do you remember the "dirty" or "taboo" books that used to be advertised in the back of so-called men's magazines back in the 70's? The novels you'll find on this site remind me of those! Then again, they just might BE those books for all that I know. There are tons of Greenleaf Classics, Adonis Boyz, Triumph Books, and more here. Most of them have themes of incest, gay sex, or bondage. Many of them decide to do away with formality and go for all of the above. They are written in pulp novel style and have titles like, "Chained Daughter". While many of these look like museum relics, they are being offered up in MSReader format on this site. So, everything old is new again. The terms and privacy info are available in the form of doc files, which is a bit annoying. Contact info is found in the doc files as well as on the site. - Vamp

This is the home website for Rayne Forrest, an author of romantic fiction. This site is free, as is the weblog of Ms. Forrest which is linked to here. Her fiction is actually in three different groupings - contemporary, futuristic, and paranormal, but all in the basic romantic genre. You'll find lots of sample pages and reviews and descriptions here, and may purchase her ebook downloads via the loose-id.net network as well as the work of other associated and similar authors. One minor nuisance on the site is a bit of overlapping text, but that can be ignored. I like to encourage the growing field of ebook publishing - it cuts out so much of the corporate overhead and makes for a much closer link between the author and the reader. - Peter

This is a website that provides erotic stories for your reading pleasure. The few excerpts of the books that Whispers offers are very tantalizing. The prices range from $.075 to $5.95. The books are available in PDF, lit and html format so that you can pick the one that suits you best. Not all the categories have stories available just yet, however, the site is off to a good start. If you are interested in submitting your own erotic works there is an extensive submission guideline for you to read through. - Koi

Lee Amato founded something called the Sex Masters Group in 1993. They research and publish books on sexual technique and have generally been a mail order operation. Now they have a bunch of ebooks online for download (each book costs a certain amount and is purchased through paypal). The books have titles like "Male Multiple Orgasm", "Natural Penis Enlargement", and "The Hidden Truth about Aphrodisiacs." I haven't read any of these books, so I can't comment on the contents. There are free excerpts available, and the ebooks are in PDF, Word, and HTML formats. I do not see any info on the length of these books, and I'd get an answer to that before purchase. Contact info seems to be email only. I would have liked more info about what you were purchasing and what customer service was available, and less hype about the books. - Vamp

This site has a collection of downloadable ebooks offered in quite a few formats. They give a description of each one, and offer a short excerpt of the content. The books range from fairly straight forward erotica/porn to extremely hardcore BDSM. There is also a small selection of illustrated works. If you become a member (which is free), you'll get several perks which are all described to you on the site. Contact info seems to be email only, and all purchases are done through WebStream. I haven't seen these specific books offered elsewhere, so I believe they are original offerings. - Vamp » More Info!

This is the blog of Alessia Brio, a published ebook author and poet that puts out work through her publisher Phaze. Her first book is titled "fine flickering hungers" and she links to where you can purchase it. The description given through the publisher is that her book describes sexual scenerios that , "Vary from hetero- to mono- to homosexual to group, with the only common thread being that they seldom (if ever) take place in a bed." The link I give here is to her blog though, in which she talks shop as a writer and often posts bits of her writing and information about her publisher or writing groups. - Vamp

One of my favorite things about the internet is that it allows for so many independent artists to present their work to the world, and I have a real soft spot for authors. Brenda Williamson has put together quite a collection of romance ebooks. They cover a broad range of genres from paranormal to historic romance. In addition to this, her site is an absolute goldmine for any aspiring writer. She has a yahoo group for writers and readers called "Romance Party", a guide of writer resources, and even a list of online authors. She even links to places that she has read to research stories. I just love that! I really enjoy writers acting as a community to support each other and to encourage new folks. » More Info!

Ocean's Mist is primarily an ebook publishing company, but they do offer some of their selections in an actual print version should you so desire. The focus is on erotic romance, heavy on the romance. They have lots of subcategories: Western, paranormal, Sci-fi and more. They also have a line called The Azure Line, which has a focus on various ethnicities in the characters. Every listing has a book cover showing, along with a good sized excerpt, author bio, and codes for book length and content rating. You have to read their info pages to know what those mean. For example: book length: "wave". Apparently that is a short story, less than novella. Likewise, a "tsnunami" rating for content is the highest. Books are offered in Microsoft's LIT format, PDF or HTML. Prices were $2.99 for a "wave" length, $3.99 for a novella, $5.50 for a full novel length. Ordering is all via secure server online. » More Info!

I really love the idea of this site! It sells original ageplay erotic fiction that features submissive female characters often getting spankings from strong paternal figures (and the occasional Governess). They supply sample chapters, and you can sort stories by author. The site is very strict about making sure to have stories that clearly state that the participants are adults. Some of the stories are historical, but many are modern as well. They run the spectrum from romantic to severe spanking. My only issue with the site is that there isn't a wordcount for each piece offered, so it isn't clear how long the stories are going to be. Contact info is also email only, which can be a bit scary when using your credit card. I'd write for more info before purchase, so you are sure about the length of the piece you are buying. » More Info!

This is definitely one of the better e-book websites I've come across. Aphrodite Unlaced is a woman-owned e-book publishing company, focusing on erotic romance stories. They have 4 main categories: contemporary, historical, fetish and paranormal. Within those categories, you can browse by short stories, full length novels, quickies and anthologies. Each has cover art and a blurb about the book, and a link to read an excerpt. They have icons to show you quickly things like "graphic sex" or "significant storyline" as well. Ordering is online, these are e-books (so PDF files) and the prices range from $1.99 to $4.99. Everything on this site is done with an eye for detail, it's a pleasure to browse through. There is also a Cafe Press store with site merchandise, a writer's corner, submission guidelines if you'd like to be published there, and info about current writing contests. » More Info!

I like the idea of this site. I've long felt that erotica authors have gotten a poor deal on the internet, with their work stolen, or underpaid. The idea here is that authors can offer their original novels or short stories for sale in ebook format via PayPal. Unfortunately they do have a lot of competition in free material all over the web that is as good or better caliber of writing. There are only 2 things available for purchase so far, a novel length (around 1200 pages) ebook called Cinderalla's Diary ($12.95) and a collection of a few short stories, 'Squeem', available for $3.95. Each has excerpts to read before you decide to buy. » More Info!
