Advice on Exploring Erotica in Your Writing
MediaBistro's Morning Media Menu had a conversation with author Jamie Brenner about advice for writers looking to explore this newly crowded genre. An excerpt from Brenner: My first erotic novel came out two years ago. The landscape feels completely different. There is not just the hope to reach a mainstream audience with erotic novel, but the expectation that success is reaching everyone, not just the genre readers. Fifty Shades of Grey really raised the bar for that. At the same time, working…See More

By Tanya Amero "Tay" - See all my reviews
The book has so many different elements to it. I read a friend's copy and had to get my own. It makes you laugh, takes you back with the music and arouses you all at the same time. Can't wait for the follow up. A job well done, especially for a first time author. Simply put... fabulous!

Titillating little tales
EROTIC TALES is a compilation of 27 enticingly short erotic stories by Cathy Snoggles. A few of my favorites are "Twelve Days 'Till Christmas", the tale of Joy and a much older man named Kendrick, who Joy meets while out shopping. "Some Kind of Incentive", KiKi and Darius' story, is about a couple that meets at the gym and begins working out together in and out of bed. Last but not least, "The Applicant", where Khadija decides she's in need of a sugar daddy. She takes out an ad in the newspaper and asks her best friend, Tarek, who unbeknownst to Khadija is attracted to her, to screen the applicants. When Tarek tells her that he is interested, she gives him a try.
Snoggles has penned a book filled with titillating little tales that range from voyeurism to several couples engaged in no-holds-barred sexual encounters. Snoggles leaves very little to the imagination as she entertains readers with her storytelling skills. Some stories are short, while others are little longer. Whatever the case, EROTIC TALES is sure to please.

A Love For Old School
Smiling like she might have solved a crime she said, “Okay Tasha, tea and cheesecake. Is this the one?”
“Don’t you think you’re getting ahead of yourself silly?”
“Well maybe a smidgen, but then again you haven’t been out in well… how can I say this nicely? you haven’t been on a date in awhile. Maybe you had such a good time with Mr. Devon, you’ve decided to snatch him up before he gets away.”
“All I’m going to say is that we both enjoyed lunch and spending the afternoon together.”
As she took a bite of her cake, she choked. “Oh I’m sorry, did you say afternoon? So like what; does that mean you two got freaky deaky?”
“Hang on a sec Shay, let me go call Chris and ask him what he did to you last night because you’re ridiculous!”
She laughed as said, “Damn, I was only joking. As for Chris, well my baby showed me just how much he missed me and the concert. Now you know I’m not one to brag but…”
Laughing I said, “But nothing and yes you are!”
She took another forkful of cake, sipped her tea then commenced.
“I had just started preparing a nice seafood pasta meal when the door opened. I felt all giddy as Chris yelled out to me.
When I told him I was cooking dinner, he dropped his briefcase and overnight bag and joined me in the kitchen. He kissed me and hugged me tight then lifted me up onto the countertop. Girl, though it was hot in the kitchen that granite was some cold.”
She stopped talking and uncrossed her legs before getting more comfortable on the couch. Then she took another sip of tea.
“This is sounding like it’s going to be XXX rated!”
She was flush while she smiled reliving the night’s sexcapade all over again. “As he had me sitting on the countertop, he stood in between my legs kissing my mouth down to my breasts. He took off my apron, unbuttoned my blouse and…”
