Now available: Lost Girls and Others — Erotica by Lori Selke
“Lori Selke’s erotic mind, like the stories that issue from it, is diverse, ironic, fearless, perverse, and smoking hot!” -Carol Queen, author, The Leather Daddy and the Femme.
“Lost Girls and Others luxuriates in the lives and stories of iconic gender stereotypes, celebrating multiple genres, subverting clichés and turning them wickedly inside out. She inhabits the lives and loves of silent film stars, inserts lesbian twists into spaghetti westerns, delivers consumer product evaluation for the home pornstar network, not to mention hard boiled femme noire, and even Asian cuisine for foot fetishists. A sumptuous package of clever women having delicious, dangerous fun.” -Wade Heaton, author, The Daphne Trilogy.

“One of the most honest and unapologetic erotic writers in the US market. Her work challenges you to do that thing that we all would rather not do, she makes you hot and thoughtful at the same time.” –Robert Lawrence, President, the Center for Sex and Culture

Call for Submissions: Outlaw Bodies
Call for Submissions: Outlaw Bodies
a themed anthology from The Future Fire
The “Outlaw Bodies” issue of The Future Fire will gather together stories about the future of human bodies that break boundaries—legal, societal, biological, more.
In the future, what sorts of bodies will be expected and which will violate our expectations—of gender, of ability, of appearance, of functionality? What technological interventions with the “natural” body will be available, expected, discouraged, restricted, forbidden? How will societies ensure conformance to their expectations—through law, through which incentives and disincentives? How will individuals who do not conform to embodied expectations (by choice or otherwise) make their way in these future worlds?
The anthology seeks stories that interrogate these questions from feminist, disability rights, queer, postcolonial and other social-political perspectives, especially intersectional ones, for a special issue on the theme of “Outlaw Bodies,” to be guest co-edited by Lori Selke.
Word count is flexible, but we are unlikely to accept any story over 10,000 words. Send your stories as an attachment to: outlawbodies.tff@gmail.com. We prefer .doc, .docx, .rtf or .odt files—query first for any other format.
Deadline: May 1, 2012.
Payment: $35/story.

Guest Blogging
I have been doing some guest blogging here and there. Most recently, I have a post up at Offbeat Mama:
“Would You Call My Daughters ‘Black and White Twins’?”
I’m also posting about once a month at Good Vibrations Magazine on sex and parenting issues, in their “Sexy Mama” section.
Still here!
Look for exciting new publishing news Real Soon Now. Fingers crossed.
Meanwhile:
a) I’ve joined Twitter. I’m @FakeLoriSelke.
and
b) I’m blogging at Good Vibratons Magazine about sex and parenting.
That should keep you occupied for a while. Yes?
A short procedural note
All of my blog posts that mention the word S-E-X (and there are a few, b/c one of the things I write about — not infrequently, but not exclusively — is S-E-X) are getting targeted by spammers after they’re more than a few weeks old. As this blog is pretty low-traffic (both ways), I’m coping by closing comments after a certain amount of time. If this is a problem for some reason, drop me a line via e-mail..
(Now if someone could just tell me why all the spam, considering the context, is about antifungals, auto insurance, and diet pills…)

Quoted in Oakland Local
You can catch me talking about the limitations of our sexual vocabulary and the challenges it presents for writing about non-normative sexuality in this lovely blog post by Sara Kassabian at Oakland Local.
More of Me in Curve
I have a very nice interview of Jackie Strano and Shar Rednour in the latest issue of Curve, April 2010 (The “Lesbosploitation Issue”). I particularly enjoyed putting together the sidebar of sex tips for dyke parents…
Curve Jan/Feb 2010
I have an article on Courtney Trouble in Curve Magazine‘s current newsstand issue, January/February 2010. It looks good, and I had a lot of fun writing it.
