Two new lesbian stories by me as Andrea Dale are available online. And hey, I was called “best in the genre” of lesbian romance by Cleis Press!

"Memories for Sale" in Best Erotic Romance

By Andrea Dale, Erotica, Sales

Whee! I sold “Memories for Sale” to Best Erotic Romance! It’s available for preorder and is due out in December 2011.

I wrote “Memories for Sale” back in 2006, but it’s never hit quite right with an editor until now. Sometimes that’s how these things work: a perfectly good story takes time time to click with the right editor. (Just like not every story will click with every reader.) I’m chuffed that the sparkly and delightful Kristina Wright was the editor it clicked with!

“Memories for Sale” is a bittersweet story about second chances, and I’m so glad it found a home with stories from a whole slew of amazingly talented authors:

"Just Be"

By Andrea Dale, Erotica, Soul's Road Press

I was sure Sarita was going to leave me; the signs were all there. I was too wrapped up in law school to give her the love and attention she needed. Imagine my surprise when I learned that what she really planned was to teach me how to let go and…just be. A romantic lesbian short story from a legendary erotica heavy-hitter.

“Just Be” originally appeared in Iridescence: Sensuous Shades of Lesbian Erotica (Alyson Books, 2007) and was republished in Coming Together: At Last, Vol. 2 (Phaze Books, 2009)

Things to read! And some are free!

By Andrea Dale, Dayle A. Dermatis, Erotica, Fantasy/SF, Soul's Road Press

Some groovy publishing news!

First, Sweet Confessions: Erotic Fantasies for Couples is now available for pre-order! Alison Tyler is giving away a copy, if you want to mosey on over to her blog and make a bid for it.

Sweet Confessions contains my story “New Day, New Life,” about a woman recovering from an illness and wanting to experience life to the fullest. It also has a Sophie Mouette story, “Sacred Places,” about a couple discovering a shared dark fantasy.

It’s edited by the venerable Violet Blue, and may be spotlighted on an OWN network show (!!), and has a slew of wonderful authors, so…. It comes out next month, but you can preorder it now.

Next, I wanted to let all you Kindle users know about two free short stories I have up on Amazon for your enjoyment.

“What Dragons Prefer” is a humorous fantasy story, written as Dayle A. Dermatis:

A dragon slayer arrives to rescue a threatened town, but the real threat and the dragon’s true desires are not necessarily one and the same.

The story first appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine, Fall 1994; and republished in Dragons: A Celebration of the Greatest of Mythical Creatures, January 1996.

“From Bitter to Sweet” is a literary erotica story (nothing terribly explicit in it), written as Andrea Dale:

An erotic lesbian short-short story about breakups, new love, and chocolate. Go ahead—savor it. Let it melt on your tongue….

The story originally appeared in Got a Minute? 60 Second Erotica (Cleis Press, 2007)

Both of these are short-shorts, and really too short for me to charge for them—but the downside is, even though they’re labeled as such, reviewers are complaining that they’re, you guessed it, too short! So, y’know, if you like them, it would please me greatly if you posted a nice review. That’s always better payment to me than money! (My mom and my sister are both still asleep, so I’m gonna get back to work now!)
