Another piece of mine published by Courtney Morgan’s THE THOUGHT EROTIC, this one is an erotic fantasy-horror story called BENEATH THE NEW MOON, published in three parts. Just in case all those uses of the word “erotic” didn’t tip you off, this story contains many scenes of graphic sexual play. It was my first foray into explicit sex writing and I found it both challenging and rewarding. There’s also a scene set on (or more properly in) Jupiter’s moon Europa, so there ya go. Some of these settings and characters will return, but I think the piece stands on its own. If you are looking for some monstrous sexual shenanigans, I hope you’ll give it a try!
