Haunted Hearts and Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories is now available to order at amazon and will be released on May 15! This one contains “Some Old Lover’s Ghost,” a story I just had a blast writing. (Plus it’s so nice to be listing some new spec fic sales and releases along with all the erotica and romance, if only for variety!)
I’m delighted to report that my story “If the Shoe Fits” will appear in the DAW anthology The Trouble With Heroes, edited by the incredible Denise Little. I wrote the story at an anthology workshop in Oregon that she co-ran with Dean Wesley Smith (with able assistance from Kristine Kathryn Rusch).
Dayle A. Dermatis is the author or coauthor of many novels (including snarky urban fantasies Ghosted and the forthcoming Shaded and Spectered) and more than a hundred short stories in multiple genres, appearing in such venues as Fiction River, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, and DAW Books.
Called the mastermind behind the Uncollected Anthology project, she has also guest edited anthologies for Fiction River, and her own short fiction has been lauded in many year’s best anthologies in erotica, mystery, and horror.
She lives in a book- and cat-filled historic English-style cottage in the wild greenscapes of the Pacific Northwest. In her spare time she follows Styx around the country and travels the world, which inspires her writing.
To find out where she’s wandered off to (and to get free fiction!), check out DayleDermatis.com and sign up for her newsletter or support her on Patreon.
Andrea Dale
Called a “legendary erotica heavy-hitter” (by the über-legendary Violet Blue), Andrea Dale writes sizzling erotica with a generous dash of romance. Her work—which has been called “poignantly erotic,” “heartbreaking,” and “exceptional”—has appeared in 20 year’s best volumes as well as about 100 other anthologies from Soul’s Road Press, Harlequin Spice, and Cleis Press. She finds passion in rock music, clever words, piercing blue eyes, the wind in her hair, and the scent of the ocean.
Sophie Mouette
Author of the 4-star (Romantic Times) novel Cat Scratch Fever and many short stories, Sophie Mouette is the brainchild of two widely published authors of erotica, romance, and speculative fiction.
The two halves of Sophie—Dayle A. Dermatis (aka Andrea Dale) and Teresa Noelle Roberts—met more than two decades ago at a writers’ conference. Talking nonstop, they closed down the hotel bar and went somewhere else to keep on talking. Although they’ve always lived on opposite sides of the country (and for a few years, on opposite sides of the Atlantic), they’ve remained very close friends, and it was only natural that they should start writing together as well.
Sophie is currently on hiatus due to life events.
