writing awards finalist
Corey Alexander
Hi folks,
It is writing awards season, and as you probably know, I write queer kinky erotica under the nom de plume Xan West, so it’s an exciting time for me.
My story, "Ready", which was printed in the anthology Biker Boys, is a finalist for the 2011 National Leather Association's John Preston Short Fiction Award. (You may recall that my story "First Time Since", which was printed in Hurts So Good, won Honorable Mention for the 2008 National Leather Association's John Preston Short Fiction Award.)
An anthology, Blood Sacraments, that my story "Willing" appears in, has been named a finalist in the horror category for Forward Magazine's book of the year awards. Blood Sacraments also received a recent positive review.
An anthology, Best Lesbian Erotica 2011, that my story "My Precious Whore" appears in, is a finalist for a Lammy in the Lesbian Erotica Category. BLE11 also received a recent glowing review.
I also have several pieces of erotica in anthologies that are on the shelves now (Men at Noon, Monsters at Midnight, Biker Boys, Backdraft, Hurts So Good, Best Women's Erotica 09, Leathermen, Frenzy, Daddies, Men on the Edge, Cruising for Bad Boys, Pleasure Bound, SexTime: Erotic Stories of Time Travel, Best SM Erotica 3, and I Like to Watch) My work also appears in the e-book Sugar and Spice, I wrote the introduction to Wired Hard 4, which was published by Circlet Press. In addition, my story "A Large Full Meal" was recently printed and illustrated in the inaugural issue of Salacious Magazine, a queer feminist sex magazine. My work is slated to appear in Cupido Magazine, Hot Daddies, Say Please: A Lesbian BDSM anthology, In Plain View, Bottom Men, and Brief Encounters).
