This is a new series of anthologies to be published from late Spring 2010, featuring brand new literary erotica stories, set in each of the respective cities.

The books will appear as original paperbacks from Accent Press in the UK, who have established themselves with their Xcite Books list.

Each volume will feature 12 original stories (no reprints) ranging between 5,000 and 6,000 words, ie substantial stories in both length and breadth. I am not looking for vignettes or stream of consciousness sexual encounters but solidly plotted erotic tales, displaying a strong sense of place, characterisation and storytelling. If you don’t already know the city you are writing in, it is unlikely you will pull it off. My preference is for the sex to be of a heterosexual nature, or at any rate principally feature it, although bisexuality is quite acceptable; exclusively gay or lesbian stories would truly have to surprise me by their originality and power to make the grade.
