Kissed by Venus

by Clarice Clique

These are all simple but life changing things that I quietly suspect most normal people know inherently, but for me they were revelations that came to me through the process and exploration of writing.

I am so excited to receive my own edition of the new Maxim Jakubowski book, ‘The Mammoth Book of Quick & Dirty Erotica’. I am delighted to have two quickies in it, ‘Apple’ and ‘Handcuffed’, I am certain these will get your juices flowing. But that said this collection is full of an exciting and ecliptic range of work from a talented and desirable group of writers such as Alison Tyler, Angela Caperton, Elizabeth Coldwell, Giselle Renarde, Kristina Lloyd, Kristina Wright, Lucy Felthouse, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Shanna Germain and Victoria Blisse. I am sure you will agree this is one collection that you dare not miss!

Over 130 bite-sized short erotic stories exploring the full range of human sensual and sexual experience.

I am so proud of my second published novel, Switch it has taken me too long to write but I am thrilled with the end result. Fortunately for you Amazon are giving away free copies of the novel on the 28th November. You would be foolish to miss out on it! Here is the synopsis, April desires only one man, the man she’s always loved, the man who recites Shakespeare sonnets while tracing a crop over her tightly bound body. But after a failed marriage proposal, her lover orders her away from him and tells her she needs to experience more things and different men. When April meets a male slave called Daisy she discovers that her own sexuality extends beyond beyond willing obedience. She switches between slave and mistress, between aching for her lover and excitement at playing with her new pet. Will she be able to maintain both roles or will she have to make a decision about who she truly is?

Fantastic Erotica is published to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Circlet Press, it presents the very best erotic science fiction and fantasy short stories published by Circlet in the past five years. This selection was voted by you the readers from among all the stories published by Circlet from 2008 to the present, these favourites are the cream of the crop.

Fantastic Erotica is particularly close to me, as Circlet accepted my first story to be included in an anthology, the story was ‘Mirror’ and it was originally included in Like a Queen. The editors at Circlet were very kind and helped me with suggestions that greatly improved the story. I am very fond of ‘Mirror’, a Snow White retelling, and I hope you are too.
