“Sinclair Sexsmith presents a cornucopia of lesbian kink …” Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica Book Cover, Due Date, & Table of Contents

I’m thrilled to announce the table of contents and cover for my upcoming (and very first!) anthology, Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica, coming in April 2012 from Cleis Press.

The description, via Amazon:

Sinclair Sexsmith presents a cornucopia of lesbian kink — tantalizing tales rich in variety and saucy details of girls put in their place — and held there firmly. A girly-girl reaps a sweet punishment for refusing to mess up her oh-so-pink lipstick and a well-equipped top takes charge. Whether readers dream of surrendering to a lover or of taking control, Say Please offers plenty of erotic inspiration and gives readers exactly what they want!

In “The Cruelest Kind,” Kiki Delovely’s naughty narrator gets her just desserts from her butch girlfriend with some fierce back alley bondage while D.L. King’s domme makes her submissive strip before un unseen audience, binds her to a bench, and gives her a good strapping in “A Public Spectacle.” Anna Watson’ bored housewife gets more than she bargains for in “The Keys” when she follows a lesbian animal trainer out to a queer bar and anything goes in Xan West’s sexy “Strong” when a transgender butch and genderqueer sub engage in some very tough love.

And here are the contents. I am SO thrilled to have so many pieces by amazing writers. Seriously, these are some of the best of the best, I can’t wait to see the whole thing all together.

I’ve created a Twitter account for Say Please, a Facebook page, and a Twitter list to follow the authors, so you can keep up with all of us if you’d like. There is nothing at all at the book’s wordpress site yet, but there will be.

Keep an eye out for a blog tour, book release party in New York, review copies, and readings around the country, including (but hopefully not limited to) New York City, Seattle, Portland, Durham, and Boston.

I am so excited about this!

    I am so excited too! And very glad you like the cover. I think it’s great—so eye-catching. Hope it will go over in the bookstores well … crossing my fingers for the next six months.

    Yum! I can’t wait for this…makes me think I need a spanking soon! :)

    holy god, what a hot cover.

  6. Mindy says:

    A hot Butch Daddy on the cover would get my attention better…femmes in leather don’t do much for me, but I’m sure she has wide appeal.

  7. Kelley O says:

    Book Tour, Durham, as in Durham, NC? Oh, please say yes, Durham, NC, because I am SO there!!!!

    1. Sinclair says:

      Kelley O: Yes, Durham, NC! A couple contributors are from there, and there’s one more nearby, so I’m hoping we can rally. Nothing is firm yet, but that place is a priority. You will probably hear much more about that as it comes together :)

  8. meridith says:

    Love it! Can’t wait to see it in person!

  9. Kelley O says:

    YAY!!!!

    I’ve been stocking up on erotica lately, and this is EXACTLY what my library needs. So very very excited! Definitely do a reading in Portland, if possible. :)
