I have been writing erotic stories for quite some time, but never intended to publish a book when I first started out. The idea for this book struck me sometime in 2008, and I thought it would be a unique twist on an industry standard idea of erotic stories. Half of the stories are to the letter accounts of adventures I have had, the other half are fabrications based on someone I met, already know, or would like to meet and the encounter I would most like to have with them. As the reader, you will have to try to decipher which is which. So here it is, my first book for the world to see.

Another uniqueness to my book is that it contains 24 stories; 12 from the man's point of view, and the same 12 stories from the point of the woman. All of the women's viewpoint are on one side of the book, and then you literally flip the book over to read the man's point of view...hence the name "Flipside Erotica". Yes, I write both points of view; I am in touch with my feminine side enough to represent the female perspective fairly well. I do have a couple of women that I bounce ideas off of, and field-tested my stories before going to print. My writing style is such that if you like one of my stories, you are likely to enjoy most if not all of them.

Each of the pictures I chose to accompany each story, and they reflect the overall theme in the pages that follow. For example, in the Nicole story the photo is of a man wiping the steam off of a mirror in the bathroom. In the story, Nicole finds me shaving my face in preparation for our time together; other photos do the same.

I am happy to say that this book won an Independent Publisher Award in 2010, a rare feat for a first time writer from what I hear. In my opinion, Book 2 is even better, but that is for you to decide.

Currently I live in Phoenix, AZ and you can frequently find me in a local coffee shop with my laptop, headphones, and a dirty smile on my face as I write another adventure for my next book. I hope you enjoy Volume 1. :-)
