This is my first book of erotic short stories in a series called “Adventures in Eroticism.”

“Adventures in Eroticism: Four Seasons” features Lesbian Erotica short stories where the main character is YOU! Take a trip into your fantasies with each story you read. With vivid imagery and tantalizing scenarios, these stories allow you to experience things not typically dared to be imagined!

Lesbian Erotica has never had an avenue like this to explore sexuality with a sexy, yet witty outlook on intimacy. With creative locations from your own home to the Amazon Jungle, with escapades for every season, “Adventures in Eroticism: Four Seasons” is sure to please on every level. Bedtime stories have never been so good!

The 2nd book in the series, Adventures in Eroticism: Workplace is due to be released Summer ’14.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Adventures In Eroticism: Four Seasons”?

Immani Love: At first, I was simply documenting my personal sexual experiences as they happened (and then embellished them to what I wished had happened.) After a few stories were written, I found myself writing stories for friends and associates who knew about my “hobby” and wanted their own fantasies in print.

Elyse Langston is taking it all off. After shedding one hundred pounds, who would blame her for scheduling an exclusive boudoir photography session with Zion to celebrate her success? Her boyfriend – make that ex-boyfriend – Collin is not happy about her recent weight loss and dumps her. If there ever were a remedy for single girl blues, it would be watching Zion master the lens…as well as every inch of her body!

Zion is no stranger to the female form. Beautiful women strut and strike a pose before him daily. His no-strings-attached demeanor has been the fortress he’s needed to keep his mind off the complicated matters of the heart and on building his clientele until Elyse strolls into his studio.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Taking It Off”?

Samara King: I got the inspiration for “Taking It Off” from various sources as the character’s voice came to me, after reading “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” by Tupac Shakur. Elyse Langston, the heroine in “Taking It Off” has overcome a lot during her life journey, including losing weight after her mother dies from complications from Type II Diabetes.

“Archie’s Psalm”

In a 1970s neighborhood, the tale of “Archie’s Psalm” by Christopher D. Burns unfolds.

This book tells a story set in North Memphis, but this story holds true for Black people in many communities across the United States. It tells the story of a group of people devastated by generation after generation of men leaving families broken because of their absence. The landscape of this North Memphis neighborhood is taking a pervasive turn for the worst with festering problems like the presence of gangs that are looking younger and younger recruits to peddle drugs, lack of city planning, single-mothers working more than one job and leaving children to raise themselves and the disrespect of elders by children who aren’t being taught any better. The community center steadily gives way to gang activity. Gun violence becomes a reality. Vietnam War veterans come home zombified from heroine use or in pine boxes for burial.

In all this, much of the book centers around the lives of two characters, Archie and his young protegé, Buck. Continue reading JoeyPinkney.com Book Review – “Archie’s Psalm” by Christopher D. Burns →
