Intriguing. Thank you. Swear I tried that and it didn't come up earlier. Fat fingers, sorry.

I definitely tried using the search on amazon.co.uk for "serious moonlight jg cain" and the full collection didn't show up, only (most of) the individual stories did, except chapters 11 and 14, before the list was exhausted.

Yeah, I think due to explicit content it got put in the "dungeon" in England Canada's Amazon. You have to type in in exactly or use a link.

The first time these stories got put on Amazon they were not put in the dungeon. The right-ward tilt of the world continues.

Quote by WannabeWordsmith

In England?! I hope not, but I wouldn't put it past the government. I suspect this is Amazon being all territorial, as they treat countries as silos.

.com != .co.uk

Huh. I always thought you were Canadian.

This link doesn't work?

Must be a victim of that new 25% tariff on porn.

Last day. FREE eBOOK! Serious Moonlight: the Collection

He made his way down her body with hot glacial languor, biting her so that she could feel the sharp burn of the liquor where teeth met skin. The elegant white curve of her neck, then down to the meat of her tits. He lingered on each nipple, biting and pulling, letting the fire of the alcohol inflame her thickening flesh. He moved lower, trailing bourbon, letting a small pool form in her belly button before lapping it back up.

He raised himself onto his knees.

“I am on fire,” he told her.

“Don’t make a fuel of yourself,” she replied, and they both began laughing, pleased this ancient childhood joke still held its power. It did not break the mood, but enhanced it, all aspects part of a larger whole: sex, humor, intellect, emotion. It was one thing. It was all things.

See highlighted in snip.

I can't replicate this when I go to Amazon. Is this in the author's pull-down from the Amazon page for the book? That typo is in none of the copy I entered. I think maybe it's computer-generated, based on my copy.

Thanks for the tip. Sorry the Shards didn't make a bigger impression.

Quote by Seeker4

There's a bit of proofreading needed in the author bio.

"Explore more of J G Cain's erotic at his website"

Bolded should be "erotica" or be followed by "fiction". 😁

I will give this a look. Forget if read any of those. The "Shards" title sounds familiar so I probably did.

I just checked the author bio in the manuscript, on the Amazon bio, and on my website, and do not see this typo. I'm very typo-prone, pleas let me know where you found it. I appreciate the check.

The phrase "erotic and literary short fiction" appears because "erotic" and "literary" both modify "fiction." But it sounds like you found an actual typo.

"Serious Moonlight: the Collection" brings together all the Serious Moonlight stories, first seen and published on Lush as Shards. It's FREE for the next three days.

A taste:

"He rested his cock against her trembling lips, parting them ever so slightly with his cockhead.

He said, “Don’t move.”

She said, “Yes, Sir.”

He told her, “Say nothing.”

She said nothing.

He said, “I am so close to cumming, love. So close to the edge. A hair’s breadth away. A split second between me cumming and me not cumming. One or the other. Such a thin line. If you were to blow on my cock I would cum here and now, spurting all over your pretty lips. Just the feel of your breath is all it would take.”

He stood motionless, struggling to maintain control. Don't cum. Don't cum. Don't cum. He rode the hot edge of his orgasm, consumed by the now of it. This moment. Then this moment. Then this moment. Pearls on a string.

The fire in his loins and belly receded, just barely. He rubbed his hair-trigger cock back and forth across the slit of her lips, recklessly tempting the edge of his orgasm closer again.

He said, “I will leave it up to you, my love. I will let my cock rest on your lips. You can slide your tongue out, under the head of my cock, and make me cum instantly. All over your mouth. Thick and hot. Cover you with it. Your choice.”

Silence."

Spare parts, and broken hearts / keep the world turnin' round. - Bruce Springsteen

Federal troops now have their feet on the ground in the Free State of Colorado.

It is a federal law prohibiting federal armed forces from participating in civilian law enforcement activities, either civil or criminal. This means that generally speaking, active- duty U.S. military personnel cannot be used for domestic law enforcement.

From the Denver Post: "Federal agents went door-to-door at a Denver apartment complex before dawn Wednesday, banging on doors and demanding residents show identification.

One woman answered her door at Cedar Run Apartments to find “six heavily-armed officers demanding ID,” she said. After she provided her identification, she told The Denver Post, they asked which of her neighbors might be undocumented."

Yeah, by the end of that sixth call my protests can get a little breathy.

Quote by fillelapine

Sure. The Rocky Mountain Train is really nice. Might be a little expensive round trip, though.

We’ll meet you at this end of that route for a nice Spicy Brazilian Coconut Shrimp soup on the patio of Shuga’s, here in the fearsome shadow of Cheyenne Mountain. Always wanted to take that trip.

Quote by Seeker4

In general, I quite like Americans. For all their bad eggs like Trump get a lot of press, the ordinary Americans I meet traveling are, by and large, a nice bunch. Not to mention my online friends here and on SS.

We’re all terrified right now. I am off to make my six calls a day to Senators and Representatives. Then I will see if I have the capacity to write in the face of this.

It’s a coup. This is a coup. We are under attack.

Another delivery messed up by autocorrect; I was looking forward to my Coq au vin too!

Pretty funny.

Hey, you Team Red writer folks! Come visit us over at the Team Blue hangout at Story Space (https://www.storiesspace.com/forum/the-break-room/inspirations-the-stories-space-coffee-house)! It's nothing but crickets over there today. You can't be X-rated, but you can do (almost) anything else.

Coffee, no gummie. For science - I'll be the control group.

Seize the carp!

Windy and snowy and blizzard-y here. Good day for writing if you don't have to be anywhere.

So sorry to hear about your Dad and the dental appointment, Kimmie. that must have been scary for both you and him, for very different reasons. My heart goes out to you.

Coffee please. And a small blunt pyramid of medicinal gummies for me to munch on as I try to write my way out of the corner I've currently written myself into.

Inside the deadly coiled jaws of a large bear trap, ready to snap shut at the slightest vibration.

A bear claw. For science.

Jeez, the news is just a churn of crazy this last two days. Lots of government funding sources just shut the f down. They're trying to break everything they can, like angry toddlers given guns and sledgehammers. Sorry if that sounds too strident. I hope folks are surviving.

A coffee with that bear claw. Grrr.

Quote by sprite

after once more being accused of mod favoritism, I have decided not to enter this or any future comps. thanks very much for finding a way to fuck up my day. sincerely, Rachel.

Having been once accused of winning only because I am a mod favorite, I get it. Sorry Rache. Made me want to stop entering comps too (luckily my "fuck you" impulse is stronger). You are an excellent writer, and you raise the level of the competition whenever you enter. Please continue.

My series. A conservative estimate for the word count is 304,000 so far 🤗

The No Strings Attached series?

Nice to see you back Fuzzy! Good luck with the game today.

I'll play this one just for you. Love Minus Zero, my fave Dylan love song. "My love, she laughs like the flowers / Valentines can't buy her"

Really wonderful, moving tribute to Elliot. Thanks Jen, and thanks Lush. I look forward to reading these.

Here? Exactly 10,000 words. With the assistance of the ever-lovely, ever-talented ur-kitty Sprite.

Wonderful pic, Kimmie. Wonderful son, and obviously a wonderful mom too.

A ton of words swirling in my head now, but I won’t put them to paper. I will not be shocked, I will not be awed.

Coffee please.

I sorta lost track of the Red Team Blue Team thing, so let's assume we all won. It was a great comp, and produced some great flash. Head over there to stores space and read the entries! WriterGirl's is especially moving.

I have a new story up over there, called Sunshine, where I try to conjure away the Brave New World we are entering in the US with kindness and empathy. It's short, and it's true.

Coffee please. And seven donuts.

Quote by lynnwitt

That could be taken in a completely different context..........😊

I guess I should have specified I meant hours.

Yay! Kat's back. And apparently there are cupcakes. And FEMA too! Good luck with all that.

Going back and forth between listening to the news and avoiding it.

A coffee please. The day seems to call for a gummie, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Only if I can spend that entire month asleep.

Sorry to hear about Carl. Thinking of you!

And my best wishes to Kat for a full recovery.

And a hello to Marigold and her twin crosses. Hard to take your eyes away from that!

Cold as fuck here. HOT coffee and a danish please! Happy Sunday!

My last gulp of coffee for the day <insert sad face emoji here>
