The Erotic Writer's Thesaurus (with notes on usage) paperback edition (510 pages, 8.5 x 11)
Amazon
Amazon UK
Kindle edition
Amazon
Amazon UK
With
over 10,000 entries and more than 1,800 examples of words in ‘real-world’
context, ‘The Erotic Writer’s Thesaurus’
is the most thorough, in-depth, serious reference of its kind. Besides all the
expected “obvious” words—with long lists of creative substitutes—users will
also find entries representing a wide range of gesture and emotion, words to establish
erotic context and setting including common expressions, expletives, “swear words”
and insults with “clean” alternatives, plus many antiquated or obsolete
words and phrases of value to writers of
erotic historical narrative.
The Erotic Writer’s
Thesaurus differs from “traditional” reference books of this
type in two significant ways. In most thesauruses, word lists are arranged
hierarchically, that is, synonym lists will first show the nearest alternatives
to the entry (headword) followed by more remotely-related words, all regardless
of alphabetization. In almost all earlier thesauruses, headwords were arranged
so as to reflect an editor’s judgment about which forms of a word were most
common or useful, thus, a word like “exact” might be presented first as an
adjective, and then as a verb, while in the same book,“advance” might be
presented first as a noun, than as a verb, and then in its adjectival form
“advanced”. All synonym lists in the EWT
are arranged in strict alphabetical order. Where a word may belong to several
parts of speech, those variants are always presented in the same order: verb,
noun, adjective, adverb or preposition. Some words or phrases also function as
intensifiers, interjections, or
colloquial expressions, and these functions are indicated as appropriate. There
are some words that defy synonymization, and so, occasionally, ‘The Erotic Writer’s Thesaurus’ also
functions as a dictionary, offering brief definitions, which may be used as a
starting point for more in-depth research.
Eighteen with a (Silver) Bullet: An Erotic Christmas Carol
Amazon
Christmas
Eve is Marla's eighteenth birthday, but heck if she can remember anything about
her past, especially where sexual experience is concerned. Will Marla find a
cure for her erotic amnesia in time for her birthday party? Will she discover something about her past,
present, and future as she shops for the perfect Christmas gift? Will a bizarre
series of sexy twists and turns ultimately convince Marla to seek help in the
most unlikely of places?
Inspired
by Charles Dickens' immortal holiday classic, A Christmas Carol, this
contemporary erotic romp will entertain and titillate even as it tickles
readers' literary sensibilities with a nudge and a wink at some of the sillier
genre conventions of our time.

Haunted by a demon’s prophecy…
Gretchen grows up dreading the destiny she cannot escape—not
even within the walls of a convent—the lustful longings of the otherworldly
creature she knows only as The Nameless One.
Uncanny things have always had a way of happening ever since
her older sister read aloud from a book of black magic, unwittingly awakening
the demon. But now, after having become Sister Mary Chastity, Gretchen must
struggle with the stirrings of her own long-buried desires, the undeniable
yearnings that overpower her flesh, and the guilt that inevitably follows when
dark secrets come back to confound her.
On “sacred sabbatical” in a cabin by the shores of a lake in
the Great North Woods, Mary chastity meets Magic, a handsome, carefree young
artist who tests her vows even as he speaks to something deep within her heart.
Can this beautiful boy help her to face her fears—or is he part of the future
The Nameless One has foreseen for her all along? Is Magic the key to Mary
Chastity’s salvation—or nothing less than the incubus itself in human guise?

The Moon-Haunted Heart (50 short stories)
paperback:
e-book:
Nook (Barnes & Noble)
Sometimes, the truest stories are about what ‘almost’ happened; not what was, but what
just as easily might have been. The would’ves, the should’ves, the could’ves,
the haunting maybes and the melancholy might-haves are the fertile soil in
which the most powerful and affecting fiction takes root. Then too, sometimes,
the most intriguing stories leave a bit of mystery beyond the margins—small
enigmas for the reader to ponder hours and days after the book has been closed.
Sometimes, the shortest stories are the ones that stay with us the longest.
The fifty very-short pieces in this collection of mature
literary fiction range from as many as 4,000 to as few as 50 words. The purpose
of these stories is not necessarily to arouse, but rather to explore various
aspects of the human condition through the lens of the erotic in a way that is
both enlightening and entertaining.
There are brief vignettes—entire
worlds conjured up within the space of an eye-blink—alongside more
conventionally expansive narratives. There are a number of stories about the
erotic dimensions of ‘disability,’ particularly visual impairment. There are
pan-sexual celebrations—the hetero- and homoerotic along with the intentionally
ambivalent. There are richly atmospheric scene-settings, effusive literary
evocations, and casual pop-culture-inspired dialogues; orneriness and ecstasy,
contemporary vulgarity and timeless transcendence standing cheek by jowl, low
comedy, erotic horror and lambent exultation comfortably sharing the same
space, breathing the same air, seeking the same truth.
Kiss-Off the Devil (9 Transgressive Tales of Taboo, Seduction, and Surrender)
AVAILABLE ONLY IN PAPERBACK (get it before it's banned everywhere)
The truth isn’t always 'nice', and those who would dig down to the roots of human folly should expect to get their hands at least a little dirty. This collection transports readers to the realm of the forbidden, probing the dark, seldom-explored reaches of illicit desire and obsession where opposites attract and lust burns on any fuel it can find. Ranging in mood from the comically macabre title story, to the poignant realism of “All the Things They Never Got to Say” and the bewildering moral ambiguities of “The Why in Everything” and “Detour (Alternate Timeline)”, these tales challenge our comfort zones and scandalize the earnest little angels sitting on our shoulders, while inviting their opposite numbers to come out and play. If the stories in this book were made into movies they would no doubt be rated somewhere between R and NC-17. Not so much for graphic content (though there is a fair amount of that) as for “adult situations.”

Then something
caught my eye. Passing the Great Room, I froze, dead in my tracks. May-Lin was
sitting on the corner of the bed nearest the entrance, looking out into the
hall. Keeping perfectly still like a model holding a pose for a painter, she
was serenely topless, a beautiful mermaid, dark hair hanging loose around her
shoulders, some rumpled sheets draped over her legs. My sudden appearance
didn’t seem to startle her at all. She looked straight at me, but made no move
to cover herself. I stared back, admiring her as much as I dared, trying not to
be too obvious while pretending that this sort of thing happened all the time.
Neither of us said a word.
Ben Bohring’s life gets
interesting, taking a dark detour into obsession when he meets beautiful May-Lin
Song during a summer week of teenage debauchery at a lakeside cabin. The
vivacious young woman’s combination of classic Asian beauty and all-American
attitude is more than Ben can resist, and he vows to have her some day in spite
of the odds.
Ben’s quest
propels him on a series of amorous, sometimes-violent misadventures, where unsettling
secrets about the past are revealed and hard truths about the future learned at
painful cost, ultimately leading to someone who may hold the key to questions
that have haunted the young man his whole life.

Summer of '69: A Coming-of-Age Story
e-book (perma-free)

Barnes and Noble
Also available in paperback as part of Take Me Like the World Ends at Midnight (see above)
It’s the summer of Woodstock and the Moon landing, but for sixteen-year-old
Nate, vacationing with his family on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, the
real excitement is considerably closer to home. The Establishment’s in serious
trouble when long-lost “Aunt” Penny shows up for a visit. A free-spirited
flower child, Penny’s the hippest, most exciting, worldly woman Nate’s ever
known, an irrepressible exhibitionist with a talent for finding fun and getting
everybody else into trouble along the way.
“1969 was my summer of love; the summer Aunt Penny taught me
how to juggle; the summer I finally got the hang of driving a clutch, lost my
virginity and my stutter, all on the same incredible night. It was the summer
of one small step that changed the course of history for all mankind, and of
one giant leap that changed a lonely boy’s life forever.”
Summer of ‘69 is the funny, sometimes poignant story of classic
rock, not-so-cool cars, and the agonies of puberty; sex and the generation gap,
the clash of cultures and the games people play for a thrill. A story about coming
of age and coming into your own; learning to stand up for yourself and the ones
you love; finding your place in a world that doesn’t want to understand, and
finding your true voice in the last place you’d ever expect.

Caught in the web of her own deceit, Julia discovers that no plan ever goes smoothly once emotion takes over, and her most deeply repressed passions come into play. Soon, she must decide what she truly wants in a surreal world where the lines between hate and attraction, lust and disgust, revulsion and surrender are virtually erased. A world where seduction’s a zero-sum game—where no means no means yes.

Sixtysomething and seriously oversexed, Mr. Friday’s long
overdue for a midlife crisis. The old man still has two or three items left to cross off
his bucket list of ingenious kinks when he meets beautiful Sami Rosenberg; a
smart-mouthed, vivacious nineteen-year-old college coed with major cash-flow
problems and a boyfriend who bores her to tears.
When
Mr. F offers an ungodly amount of cash for her to play the courtesan, Sami
tells herself it’s all about the money. But more troubling questions persist.
How far will she go to get what she wants? How deep do her inhibitions truly
run? What’s the real price of a thrill?
Definitely
NOT a sweet romantic yarn about nice, agreeable people, Mr. Friday’s Midlife
Crisis is the gritty, sometimes disturbing story of what happens when
headstrong opposites attract, when honesty takes a back seat to greed, and lust
goes on the take. Sexual sparks fly, triangles are shattered and dark emotions
laid bare in this contemporary character-driven erotic entertainment from
Terrance Aldon Shaw.
Turn Me On--Tell Me a Story: An Erotic Anthology
e-book only:
Amazon (Kindle)
Smashwords (All platforms, perma-free)
What you will find in this collection falls comfortably into the sane middle somewhere between highfalutin, metaphor-heavy 'erotica' and over-pungent porn; better edited than a stroke book, more down to earth than the kind of 'literary fiction' that usually ends up winning the British Literary Review's annual 'Bad Sex in Fiction' award. There’s an actual story that connects the juicy parts, but those scenes are just as well-crafted and carefully thought out as the rest of the book, if not more so. This is unapologetically sexy fiction, intended to entertain, turn-on, titillate, lubricate, harden, and stroke. If it also gets you to laugh, think, imagine, fantasize, or dream, so much the better.
The stories are set mostly in the American Midwest; the characters are not larger than life—and, at least most of the time, neither are their body parts. They take their foreplay slow; they talk to each other like real people, and think about what they’re doing and feeling. They get it on with gusto, and do it till they—and the people watching them— are satisfied. They understand that the brain is also a sex organ, and needs its share of stimulation from time to time.
The novels and stories excerpted in this newly-updated anthology began life as imagined conversations. What would smart, sexy, articulate people talk about if they were free to think and say whatever they liked? Smart people want pretty much the same thing as everybody else; they just want to deconstruct their favorite episodes of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' or quote William Butler Yeats while in the process of getting it, undoubtedly bandying about one of the great Irish poet’s most famous pronouncements while gently maneuvering their partners into bed; “sex and death are the only things that can interest a serious mind.”
These stories have the sex part covered, and one of them even delves into death at the end. The characters have decidedly serious minds, always actively engaged, yet most of them are people you might imagine hanging out with and talking to, or fantasize about making love with. They are the sort you wish you knew in real life, and not just because they don’t mind if you fantasize about making love to them—in fact, they hope you will. The clean little secret they all know is that there’s nothing wrong with sex between consenting adults; that thinking about it doesn’t make you a bad human being—even if your thoughts occasionally go beyond the limits of what society deems acceptable; that talking about it isn’t naughty or immoral; that reading about it isn’t a waste of time
This anthology includes a complete short story 'Sleeping Dogs and Southern Comfort', excerpts from the up-coming collection 'Stories Out of School' and generous selections from the novels 'A Song for the Girl with the Almond Eyes' and 'The Seven Seductions of Sister Mary Chastity'. And finally, for dessert, a collection of bawdy limericks.

This third sampler of recent fiction is organized around the theme of humor in erotic storytelling. Sometimes, that humor is fairly black, approaching the macabre with a good stiff does of 'meta' to go with the dark jollies. The seven stories and one narrative poem in this book offer sometimes mordant, open-eyed forays into the realm of the transgressive, with perverse twists and turns, leading to bizarrely ironic denouements, worlds-removed from anything resembling the traditional Hollywood happy-ending.
Sexy, creepy, silly, fun, ‘Turn Me On—Tell Me a Story 3’ makes a perfect, easy introduction to the teeming world of erotic imagination that is the mind of Terrance Aldon Shaw.

Seduction comes in many forms; the subtlest looks and gestures, a virtually imperceptible nod of the head, the tiniest hint of moisture on the lips, a furtive movement of the eye, the slightest flutter of lashes. Seduction is a would-be lover’s hot breath on the back of your neck, the wordless hum of a deep male voice rippling through your body like a giant vibrator.
I felt his presence there, and the little hairs on my neck stood up, and he was touching me with these big, strong hands, cradling the side of my face, running them down over my shoulders, across the front of the soft flannel shirt I had on. And the whole time he’s breathing those sweet somethin’-somethin’s in my ear until all I want to do is get the hell out of there with him.
Explore seduction in its many forms in this new anthology of erotic fiction from Terrance Aldon Shaw. The collection features two complete short stories, including the first publication of A Girl from White City, as well as a substantial excerpt from the upcoming novel, A Song for the Girl with the Almond Eyes and an extract from the new erotic coming of age story, Summer of ‘69. Here are stories that will arouse, enlighten, inspire, entertain, and, yes, seduce.
