Alive and Thinking in Cyberspace: Pam's take on just about everything

Category Archives: miscellaneous

A Confession. A Resolution. And a Rant.

First the confession. That I’ve gone a little gaga over a recent modest spike in Carrie’s Story‘s Kindle sales. Have I been getting a little 50 Shades of Grey action for my own smart-girl-meets-moody-older-guy BDSM, w/a Molly Weatherfield, and going amazingly strong for a small-press book first published in 1995? Maybe. But since checking out [...]

Coupla Quick Recommendations

Wonderful, clear explanation of BDSM by one of erotic romance’s best, Eden Bradley/Eve Berlin, at RT Blog today. Also terrific comment on some of the stupid and smart stuff women are saying about 50 Shades of Grey, BDSM, and Legos, in yesterday’s NYTimes.  

Nice to be Noticed, and in Such Great Company

Okay, I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but indulge me, please, ’cause it makes me feel so good to share the brilliant Susie Bright’s If-You-Liked-Fifty-Shades-of-Gray list of smart hot erotica at Amazon.com, with guess-who listed at the very tippy top… And also to thank Evelyn Archer for the lovely things she said about The [...]

Congratulations to my Molly Weatherfield Contest Winner

As Linda from Ontario, Canada waltzes off with an awesome array of erotic and literary goodies — a $25 gift certificate from Eden Fantasies and her choice of anything Molly Weatherfield’s envelope-pushing publisher, Cleis Books, has on its list. And (though I’m a big believer in the sexiness of being caught looking) there’s probably room [...]

Perils of Pauline (or Pam) in Cyberspace

Or actually mollyw, as my Second Life avatar is not-so-originally monickered. After a week of Real Life minor calamities (nothing serious, just the usual stumbles), mollyw went back to that delightful online world called Second Life, this time in the company of a Real Life friend who has the gorgeous Second Life avatar, Will0w Anatra. [...]

Moments of Joyous Recognition

Or, to put it another way, I’ve been gobsmacked again. This time by a reader of my Molly Weatherfield erotica, who invited me to come visit the alternative world where she and her partner hang out online, in the immersive digital universe called Second Life (SL), where residents (in the bodies of onscreen “avatars”) romp [...]

Sex and the Semicolon

Check out this funny post about erotic writing at the Risky Regencies Blog: http://riskyregencies.blogspot.com/2011/08/muphrys-law-and-writing-sex-scenes.html Actually, I’m rather proud of that semi-colon. Anybody know what book it’s in?

Molly and Me: A New Contest Finally

Congrats to Jackie from La Mesa, California, who won my last contest prize — two delightful and hilarious Regency chicklit novels by the funniest woman in romance, Janet Mullany (and a little chocolate). Sorry it took me a while to get my next contest up, but it is now. Check it out: it’s one of [...]

Doonesbury on Love and Image

No kidding, Gary Trudeau’s got my number in today’s wonderful strip… at http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2011/03/27/ If you feel any rapport with my sensibility (and if you don’t I can’t imagine how you got here — certainly not on the strength of my self-promotional skills) you’ll want to read it immediately, once again at http://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/2011/03/27/ (anybody out there [...]

Losing it at the Movies
