Ravenous Romance released I KISSED A GIRL: A VIRGIN LESBIAN ANTHOLOGY today!
“This book is what erotic writing is all about. I highly recommend this for all avid readers of erotica or for those willing to explore a new genre.” –You Gotta Read Reviews (rated “You Gotta Read,” the highest rating)
You’ve heard Katy Perry’s hit song, now read enticing stories of heterosexual women exploring new boundaries. College dormitories become breeding grounds of inquisitive minds and libidos with roommates discovering desire for each other as they relate past experiences, undress in each other’s presence, seek refuge from a storm, discover a dildo or share men. Continuing life’s path, ingenious women find ways to enhance marriage or the workplace. Champagne cellars, riding stables, tanning salons, even historical English bedchambers become hotbeds of lesbian experiments. Converting or not, all embrace the journey of sexual exploration.
Introduction
Katy Perry’s hit song I Kissed a Girl brought bisexuality to the forefront. I admit I
was amazed when I heard my neighbor’s five-year-old daughter singing the entire song,
never missing a word or beat. Alternative lifestyles are open for discussion—no longer
taboo.
Since Dr. Alfred Kinsey released his first reports on human sexual behavior in
1948, society has been in the process of accepting that almost all healthy men and women
have some homosexual tendencies. Instead of hiding these inclinations in shame, it’s time
to celebrate our desires and be comfortable in our own skin. No labels, no judgment—
only enlightenment and tolerance.
I’m not suggesting that all humans are bisexual. As I have discovered, being
aroused by an erotic story doesn’t label anyone. I can get excited reading BDSM, but
don’t try spanking me in bed. Because I am passionate about same-sex erotica does not
make me bisexual, but it has enhanced my ability to love and accept.
This anthology is a collection of lesbian first-time encounters. I am delighted with
the diversity of this collection. I hope you enjoy and share my passion for exploring new
boundaries.

Hurrah! Hey, thanks for putting my story first — I get to be the free excerpt!

I’m so excited:). I can’t wait to have feedback from readers. You have done a marvelous job of bringing the best of erotica together. Hot, sexy, liberating!
In retrospect Regina, funny thing how natural we all made lesbianism seem — and I say this, as you well know, after considerable experience between female thighs myself.
Excellent mix of stories too.
Sam
Sam, lesbianism doesn’t need to be made to “seem” natural, it is natural.
Regina, I wish there were not what I refer to as Men’s Lesbians on the cover of the book. It looks like porn for men, not erotica for women. I’ve been an out lesbian for 29 years and never once have I met a lesbian that looks like either of those women and that’s not to say there are not extremely feminine, gorgeous lesbians. The glam “lesbos” featured on the cover also serve to present the notion that what is erotic and sexy must be model-perfect in appearance. That being said, kudos to you for not resorting to the stereotypical butch/femme shot and if there’s a volume 2, maybe think about featuring real women, real lesbians on the cover? I’m volunteering, btw.
I do plan to order the book and look forward to comparing notes.
Congrats!
Valarie
I truly appreciate your input, Valarie, and thank you for posting. Unfortunately, I do not have any control over the cover but will certainly pass on your comment to the powers that be. Alyson Press is releasing a print version in July with a different cover. I think this one might meet your approval. http://www.amazon.com/Kissed-Girl-Fiction-Lesbian-Encounters/dp/1593501900/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1269285542&sr=1-4
I look forward to your “notes.”
Hugs,
