The Sweetest Kiss
edited by D L King
The Sweetest Kiss is edited by D L King and includes fiction from Ashley Lister, D L King and Remittance Girl (all of whom recently attended a Blackpool erotic fiction reading). Vampires have a timeless allure, mesmerizing us in every medium from books and graphic novels to movies and television shows. Immortal, eternally beautiful, strong, and sexy, these creatures take what they need, stealing the life force from those unlucky enough to cross their paths — or from those whose luck leads them to the most thrilling experience of their lives. These blood-drenched tales give new meaning to the term “dead sexy” and feature beautiful bloodsuckers whose desires go far beyond blood.
The book is aimed at adults with a taste for well-written erotic fiction.
How much does it cost?
You can buy copies of this from Amazon for £10.79 (£7.55 on Kindle).
About the author
D L King’s collection brings together some of today’s most popular erotic fiction authors. Remittance Girl writes intelligent, insightful erotica with a fearless attention to detail. Ashley Lister, here published under a psuedonym, writes intense, intimate prose with a darkly humorous twist. At the recent erotic fiction reading, his story was read by the superb performance poet Vicky Ellis who brought the work to life.
Where can it be bought?
Ashley is in the process of finishing a book on how to write erotic fiction. That’s being published by How to Books and it will be available early next year. Check out http://howtowriteeroticfiction.blogspot.co.uk/ for further details.
