On Medium today, I’ve got a sample of “Shagged at the Bookshop,” the fifth and final (for now) installment in my gangbang series. The full story is up on Ream for the “Ahead of the Curve” subscribers until May 24, at which point it goes to Kindle Unlimited for 90 days.

This was a fun one to write, because I got to dip into some classic erotica for inspiration. Anaïs Nin figures prominently — the main character, Penelope, does some dramatic readings from “The Delta of Venus” for a captive audience — as does Henry Miller. Penelope’s room of erotica at the Well Thumbed bookshop sounds like a marvelous place — if I hadn’t made it up out of whole cloth (though partly inspired by a little shelf at a paperback exchange recounted in “No-Handed Read“), I’d want to visit it.
