Playing peeping tom and other games

When you were younger, did you ever fantasize about overhearing what your friends have to say about you behind your back? Of course, you hoped to hear something good.

The modern equivalent is sticking your name into Google's search engine. I did that the other day and was happily surprised to learn that two different readers have listed Sexual Rx as among their favorite books and recommended reads. Sometimes eavesdropping pays off!

As a newbie author at Loose Id, I've joined forces with some of my fellow newbies to create a Web site you might find interesting. It's Authors of Erotic Romance.

We plan to feature articles of interest to anyone wanting to break into erotic romance. And on the fun side, we're posting a new picture each week and then writing a short story based on the photo. Drop on by and see what creative minds can do.

We fought the Battle of the Opossium again last night. Top Dog, a battle-scarred veteran of the opossum wars, would have preferred to ignore the interloper into our backyard. But the new kid on the block, our fearless puppy, charged right at the invader and soon found himself in over his cute little ears.

Alerted by the wild barking in the yard, I rushed outside in robe and fuzzy pink slippers (opossums being nocturnal, these battles are always fought late at night). I beat the foe back with a broom, rescued the puppy and we "advanced to the rear" in the best miltary tradition. Once safely back in the house we licked our wounds, which fortunately were few. What became of the opossum I don't know. If he was wise, he headed south.
