Fri, 4 July 2008 Happy 4th of July and welcome to this month's theme - science fiction! Science fiction has always been my favorite genre, and I love the story possibilities that come from combining sci fi with erotica. The end result is kind of like a peanutbutter cup, only hotter. This week's story was inspired by a bad joke and a bit of word play. Hope you enjoy it! Episode 45 - The Gender Bender Travel and Adventure, 384 words Remember, don't drink and drive and stay safe this weekend! If you like the Heat Flash podcast, be sure to check out Demon By Day, an erotica fantasy novel availabe in e-book format from Mojocastle Press - http://www.mojocastle.com/demon/byday.html.

Fri, 27 June 2008 This week's story is something different. To me, the erotica genre isn't just about hot steamy sex scenes. It's also about how writers make love to the words they use. Characterization, setting and mood become elements of foreplay as a writer strives to bring a story to its climax. This surreal tale is an experiment in that direction. Episode 44 - The Undiscovered Country Travel and Adventure, 1462 words This week's promo is for Coming Together: With Pride, an erotica charity anthology. All proceeds from this book go to AVERT for HIV and AIDS research. Coming Together: With Pride is on sale now at Phaze Books.

Fri, 13 June 2008 It's the second week of our Travel and Adventure theme, and I've just returned from my own adventure.

Fri, 30 May 2008 Welcome to the last mythology story of this month. Stories about sun gods abound in mythology, but the original tale of Amaterasu intrigued me, for obvious reasons.

Fri, 23 May 2008 Here's an episode to die for! Just kidding, but seriously, no discussion of mythology would be complete without taking a look at the afterlife. What happens to us when we die? If we're good, do we get re-united with all our old lovers? Or is that what happens if we're bad? Who knows? Who cares? By the time you hear this, I'll be headed off to Balticon in Hunt Valley, MD, for some serious fun. So enjoy the episode and have a great afterlife-- er, I mean, weekend. Episode 39 - Keep On Rolling Mythology, 528 words This week's promo is for Demon By Day, an erotic fantasy e-book by Helen E. H. Madden.

I'll be doing panels on sex, erotica and podcasting. If you're there, be sure to say hi!
