Violet Blue is an editor very much in tune with her audience. She knows what readers want from an erotic anthology, and she knows how to deliver it. In her latest offering, she explores the theme of women on the verge of sexual awakening. From wild sexual adventures to pushing the limits to taking chances and having them pay off, the women in these very realistic, very explicit, and very contemporary fantasies throw off their inhibitions, succumbing to sexual pleasure in all its myriad forms. Along the way, they also begin to learn a little bit about themselves and what their bodies are capable of in their never-ending search for carnal satisfaction. Featuring work from Saskia Walker, Angela Caperton, Tamara Rogers, Nan Andrews, Noel Burch and others, these “girls on top” are breaking all the rules — and loving every minute of it.

Just Watch Me is a sassy selection of the very best erotica by women, for women. Hand-picked by Violet Blue from the Best Women's Erotica series, these stories should be read nice and slow so that every outrageous scenario can be savored. Sydney Beier's "Reading to Horst" follows an American woman living in Germany who conducts foreplay by reading aloud to a tourist from Anaïs Nin's Little Birds. In Alison Tyler's "Four on the Floor," a pair of lovers hunt for and conquer another couple. And Elizabeth Coldwell's "Heat" describes the fierce affair between a barmaid and her brutish boss, a man she doesn't even like but who sets her heart pounding. Intended as inspiration for bedroom adventures, this heady collection of smart, sensual erotic stories is filled with hair-raising, relatable encounters.

Lovingly handpicked by Violet Blue, these stories are erotic gems, polished to perfection by an expert in erotica. The Best of Women's Erotica 2 is wildly sexy, super smart, and, highly readable. What makes an erotic story "best?" It has that something extra, and a good plot and characters that truly interest you and commands your interest during their trysts, triumphs, and erotic adventures. In the editor's own words, " The result of taking all five years’ final selections, over one hundred stories, and choosing the very best—the ones I couldn’t ever get out of my head, the ones that turned me (and others) on almost dangerously fast, like a match to gasoline—was worth the wait." Steamy encounters include Adrie Santos’ nervy, cautious “Paid for the Pleasure," which scratches more than one itch as a girl decides to let a man pay her—to receive oral sex. And, just when you think you have gender play all wrapped up in a nice and tidy bow, Lee...

Her mother was a hacker-for-hire and drug dealer to Silicon Valley's elite; after everything went wrong she was homeless and alone on San Francisco streets at the age of thirteen. Fleeing her mother's life on the run from a double-crossed cartel and fresh out of witness protection, she joined Silicon Valley's children foraging food from San Francisco's trash cans and sleeping in abandoned cars — while tech's earliest generations of workers partied, broke laws, and spat on homeless kids begging for spare change under the glow of tech's latest creations. A Fish Has No Word For Water is a memoir about what it's really like for homeless kids, the strength of chosen family, and a hard love letter to San Francisco. This memoir of survival unflinchingly shows Silicon Valley's children begging in the shadows of tech's shining towers, the surprising care circles formed by adults in San Francisco's LGBTQ community, and a city that is a mosaic of...
