      <image:title>Articles - Pledge Night</image:title>
      <image:caption>Author’s Notes: This story is supposed to be part of a larger short story collection that I’m putting together — stories about weird, wild, erotic things that happen. Stories of all types. And for this collection, I thought I would give erotic horror a go, and what better place to start than horror? Erotic horror? And where did this story come from? Sometimes I don’t even know. It started with Tae standing on the steps to a haunted house, and out of nowhere, Alice appeared in my head, and it was suddenly about a rendezvous during pledge night in a haunted house, and what could go wrong? What could go right? Somewhere in the mix, it became a legacy thing for Tae’s family — all of them going to this college, and all of them pledging this sorority and becoming fearless. And Tae can’t reject this family legacy or this opportunity because, as we’ll see in the follow-on serial, her older sister and her mother are both highly successful. But, as we’ll see, this ritual is meant to be a one-time thing. The more I thought about it after I finished writing, the more I kept wondering how many times had Alice been there before? Why did this weird little tradition even exist? College students don’t usually spend the night in abandoned haunted houses for no reason. Traditions come from somewhere, and the older I made this one in my head, the more questions I had. Then came the really dangerous question: What if Tae and Alice didn’t leave it alone? What if that first night wasn’t the end of the story, but the beginning of it? What if they kept sneaking back because, despite everything they experienced, they couldn’t stop thinking about the house? Couldn’t stop thinking about each other? Couldn’t stop wondering what was waiting for them in that room at the end of the hall. So Pledge Night is becoming something bigger — a serialized erotic horror story about obsession, old secrets, family legacies, and traditions that should have died a hundred years ago but somehow keep finding new victims. The original short story becomes the prologue. The real story begins a few weeks later, when Tae and Alice make the worst possible decision. They go back. And we’re back with the rest of the story on Substack right now! Get your fucking popcorn ready because this one is going to get dark.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Writing in 2024 - Mini-mysteries</image:title>
      <image:caption>But, on top of her novels, Sesame is busy with multiple other smaller projects, including mini-mysteries, the first of which was just published on Medium and Substack — look for SS’s Christmas Caper in either place. And if that’s not enough, I’m pushing into the erotic mystery side of things with her. Her first erotic mini-mystery is already out — The Case of the Hypnotized Hon, in which Sesame and her friends go to Vegas for a girl’s weekend, and Sesame gets into some trouble. This latter bit is part of a project I call Swallow: After Dark, and I’ve already started on the second erotic mini.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Writing in 2024 - The Night We Buried Our Last Fuck</image:title>
      <image:caption>In The Night We Buried Our Last Fuck, a one-act play, three women have been meeting for months over coffee to discuss all the ways they’d love to kill a man named Joe Bones, an aging has-been rock star who dated and cheated on each of them. It’s all jokes, scones and lattes until Joe is found brutally murdered.</image:caption>
