Awesome Authors

Mackenzie McKade writes stunning characters, deep emotional tension and love scenes hot enough to melt glass! Lisa's Gift in particular is incredible - it's a bdsm love story about the power of friendship. If you haven't read this author yet... what are you waiting for?	M.L. Rhodes is one of the best m/m writers I've read. Her manlove stories are full of strong, gorgeous guys struggling to overcome adversity and find their soulmates. I read Falling in one sitting, staying up until the wee hours even though I had work the next day! That, folks, is writing.
Holy cow. Joey Hill's 'Nature of Desire' series is hands-down some of the best heavy bdsm fiction I've read - just the right mix of fantasy and reality, with the storytelling ability and emotional charge similar to Anne Rice's Exit to Eden (not the movie - the book. Read it!). It's hard to write female dominants in ways that make the reader sympathetic, but Joey Hill pulls it off. Read anything by this woman; you won't be disappointed!	J.M. Snyder is another fabulous m/m writer who tells one heck of a story. J.M. is an AmberHeat Contest winner (like me!) but was already multi-published, and rightly so. This particular collection of short stories runs the gamut from naughty to pants-meltingly hot. Definitely worth all the time you can spare to read.
For a great, hot read, you can't go wrong with Amber Scott. This gem of a story chronicles exactly what happens when two people come together for all the wrong reasons, only to discover that nothing feels so right. Sensual and deeply satisfying!	Jamie Craig is the pseudonym for the awesome erotica writing team of Vivien Dean and Pepper Espinoza. All I can say is, yayy for them getting together because their writing rocks! They run the gamut from gay vampire bdsm (which, face it, there just isn't enough of now that Angel's off the air) to sweet but steamy contemporary romance. Give them a try!

Other Resources

Alternative Lifestyle Links	Informative non-commercial sites that deal with BDSM & Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) lifestyles.
PFLAG - Parents, families, friends of GLBT people	Useful if you're looking for information on the issues GLBT people deal with. Good place to start if you're writing m/m but aren't gay yourself. :)
Bisexual Resource Center	Like PFLAG, only focused on issues and support for bisexuals. Excellent articles and info.
Arizona Power Exchange (APEX)	Large, active BDSM group. Check out the 'Rants and Academia' section -it's chock-full of scholarly articles and information about the BDSM lifestyle.
BDSM 101 at Albany (NY) Power Exchange	Excellent basic overview of BDSM. Start here if you you're thinking about writing kink but don't know much about it. Heck, it's a good site for checking out the real-life equivalent of what you might have read in BDSM erotic romance.
Alternative Lifestyle Shopping	Yup, these are sites where you can buy all manner of erotic and/or kink gear. I'm not affiliated with any of them - buy (or whatever) at your own risk. But they're great places to look at photos of different kinds of gear that you might use for your own erotica - or, you know, if you're shopping for something naughty. :)
JT's Stockroom	Did you take the Kinky Quiz on my Fun Stuff page yet? If so, yup, this is the fetish site that's mentioned. I recommend taking this site in small doses, otherwise the sheer variety of products offered will make your brain explode.
The Sub-Shop	Online fetish store that's primarily geared toward female submissives. It's been around for ten years - the redheaded model in many of the product shots is the owner.
Mr. S Leather	Web presence of a high-end U.K. based fetish store. Models and customer base are primarily male.
Alternative Lifestyle Events	Yep, kinksters have conventions, with sales booths and organized evening events. A little more exotic than the dry-chicken and rice dinner your professional organization puts on. :)
Folsom Street Fair	San Francisco-based (naturally) leather event/parade. Mostly GLBT participants from San Francisco's extensive leather community.
Thunder in the Mountains	Pansexual (all orientations) leather event in Denver every summer. Features daily workshops, booths, talent show and big parties each night. A lot like the Romantic Times convention for kinksters.

If you can think of another resource you'd like to see listed here, email me and let me know! Nearly all of my erotica involves some aspect of BDSM or dominance/submission, so I hope the above links were helpful if you were looking for more information about this fascinating lifestyle.
