New fantasy titles available!

I have two new fantasy short stories available!

“The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip”

“The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip” is a hilarious urban fantasy short story about 80s hair metal and selling your soul to Satan.

“The Devil Went Down to the Sunset Strip” originally appeared in Retro Spec: Tales of Fantasy and Nostalgia (Raven Electrick Ink, 2010).

“Undoing the Laces”

Do you like to watch…? A couple camping at a Ren Faire discover that spying on their friends is half the fun. A steamy, voyeuristic short story from a legendary erotica heavy-hitter.

“Hands down our agreed-upon favorite was ‘Undoing the Laces’ by Andrea Dale. It’s about a couple who is camping at a Ren Faire and realizes that they can hear the couple in the neighboring tent having sex. Even better, because of the lighting they can their silhouettes through the canvas, which hides the details but gives them enough to start their own hot sex session. Very erotic, and very hot, whether you have a voyeuristic streak or not. (alanandmichele.com)

Lusting for STEAMLUST!

So, I mentioned earlier that I have a story in the forthcoming steampunk erotic romance anthology, Steamlust. I am so excited to have a story in this, I can barely contain myself. My story, “Lost Souls,” is about a inventor who stages séances. But it’s okay, she feels bad about it….

So far, RT Book Reviews has given it 4 stars, and Publishers Weekly said, “Wright’s anthology of sizzling steampunk romance is a sensual, passionate, and humorous collection of alternate histories, fantastical worlds, and time travel romps. The heroines are strong-willed, intelligent, technologically savvy, and elegant in their fashionable corsets.” (Read the full review here.)

On top of that, there’s a scrummy book video for it, with fun animation and a killer soundtrack:

Steamlust comes out next month but is already available for pre-order, just in time for the steampunk Hallowe’en party I’ll be attending!

Great review of "Raven's Flight"!

Whipped Cream Reviews reviewed Obsessed: Erotic Romance for Women, and they had nice things to say about my story “Raven’s Flight”:

Forget the girl next door when you can have the sexy Celtic next door. Ciaran is the type of neighbor we all dream of; sexy, intelligent, and likes to walk around shirtless. I also enjoyed the link the tattoos played in Ciaran and the heroine’s journey through life. I appreciate symbolism because I have always felt it adds a touch of depth to a story. The author effectively illustrated that with the use of the tattoos.
