Best Women’s Erotica 2010 : the hot new cover

by Violet Blue on August 5, 2009

What’s great* is that I didn’t like the first cover, this incredibly sexy one is shot by Samantha Wolov, whom I know and love, and my publisher (Cleis Press) lovingly tied my upcoming book Best Women’s Erotica 2010‘s content with the cover’s image. It’s so perfect! It isn’t out until December (though you can pre-order it), and I’m ecstatic about the stories, featuring authors such as (check out their hot blogs!) Heidi Champa, Alison Tyler, Sommer Marsden, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Anastasia Mavromatis (and many more).

YAAAY!

* Another thing that’s great is that I first learned today about the cover change is from people saying how much they liked it — on Twitter, to each other; not to me.

I am SO glad you love the cover! You know the admiration is mutual, of course. :)

(The shot is a personal favorite, thankfully. That was a fun, fun set to shoot.)

Thank you so much for the kind words. I can’t wait to grab a copy!

7 Rachel Kramer Bussel August 6, 2009 at 8:01 am: That was supposed to say “the pose.” Seriously loving this!
8 Rachel Kramer Bussel August 6, 2009 at 7:45 am: WOW is all I have to say! I’m so honored to be in this volume and I love this photo so much. Part of me hopes that this is the one Oprah winds up touting, I can just see that. Love the chair, the post, the whole thing. I can’t wait to read everyone’s stories. You inspire me t bring out my dirtiest side when I write.
