Um. . . so it turns out I am the inspiration for an erotica anthology. 

Not what it sounds like.  A colleague who did programming for Pi-Con last year is now doing an internship for Circlet Press, and they asked her to come up with an idea for an e-anthology.  She picked up the idea for a sex magic anthology from a panel I moderated at Pi-Con (and Arisia, and LunaCon) last year.  I didn’t realize who was behind it, so I was discussing it in a friend’s blog and the person editing the anthology identified herself.  I think it’s the only time I’ve ever been personally solicited for a story in another person’s blog.

 So now I’m on task to write some porn with literary merit.  It’s been a fun little project, and I’m proud of what I’ve written on it so far (about 2,400 words).  I started with a heroine who really shouldn’t seem appealing, and I gradually open her up, let you see who she is and what she’s about–and let her discover herself a bit as well.

    Hey David,

    Just a quick clarification. It was Cecilia that came up with the idea of a sex magick anthology. I was the one who immediately thought of you as a very good candidate for a contributor. :)

    Ah–pardon my misunderstanding.

    I thought Cecilia had already edited a book on sex magic. In fact, I think Rachel has it in the other room. . . .
