Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Now Write! Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror”?

Laurie Lamson: The “Now Write!” series was started by my aunt, Sherry Ellis, with the first volume, which came out in 2006. While she was working on “Now Write!

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.

Montreal, summer of 1996 and in the dark of night, a vigilante prowls the city’s streets. The targets of his bloody rampage: Murderers. Gang bangers. Rapists.

Six months. Sixteen murders. The harried police are without a clue until they receive an email from the assassin himself. Lieutenant Dave McCall needs help to track the killer’s message and calls on Chris Barry who runs a security firm specializing in computer communications.

Together, they launch a grim quest to bring this remorseless killer to justice. But whose justice will prevail: theirs or the vigilante’s?

As it became apparent that Simpson was literally getting away with murder, I got to thinking of writing a story about someone out there “administering” a crueler justice to those who slipped through the system’s loopholes.
