Who’s Bringing Sexy Back?

Whatever Justin Timberlake!

Today is release day… again… for my Jess Michaels alter-ego! Today the third short story I wrote for Avon Blush is available for purchase. Here is its lovely cover (click to order):

The Lover Hunt

So how I come I wrote three short erotica pieces? The answer is simple. They asked me.

Okay, that isn’t the only reason. Most of my early Jess Michaels work was shorter. In fact, until the release of Everything Forbidden in November, all my Jess Michaels work is either a novella or less (around 45,000 words or shorter). I’ve always loved working in a shorter medium. Everything just feels so immediate and dire. I think it adds to the sexual tension in a story and it definitely makes my pulse rise when I write that length!

So I hope you enjoy!

   LOL brownone… well, I am giving away one more while I blog at Fresh Fiction as Jess at the end of the month. And I have so many left that I’ll probably manage a couple more giveaways into September.

   Okay, I admit I’ve never read erotica save Anais Nin. I think I’m nervous that sex has replaced the romance in the story …

   Help me, Jenna. Is there romance in your eroticas? Am I wrong?

    Thanks everyone!

    J. Perry, I would say all my stories have romance in them, but they may not be as totally traditional in their set-ups or endings. They are definitely not Anais Nin-type erotica.

    As for my romantic erotica (my novella and upcoming full-length stories) they are all definitely ROMANCE. Happy endings, no multiple partners for the hero/heroine, etc. If you like my Jenna stuff and you don’t mind slightly more direct language and more sex scenes, you’ll probably like the Jess stories.

    I hope that helps!

    Are you kidding me? My own potty mouth scars me everyday–your beautiful writing will only heal those scars.

    I just didn’t know about it, is all, so I thought I’d ask.
