BURN:  A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY Editor: Delilah Devlin Deadline: May 15, 2025 BURN is open to all authors. Editor/Author Delilah Devlin is looking for stories for a romantic erotica anthology tentatively entitled BURN:  A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY. Why write a short story for this collection? Well, it’s certainly not about making a lot of money, so why do it at all? I’ve said this before, many times, but here are my thoughts… Writing a short story for a call for submissions is…

Harris — Hired by werewolf matriarchs to track down a bad-boy photographer, a private investigator discovers a deep connection with her past—and a secret garden of unspoken, sensual pleasures “The mask is me, but not me.” Just a few days ago, I saw a brilliant lecture/performance on crossing borders and Italian commedia dell’arte. One of the performers put on a mask and literally transformed themselves. They embodied this big, exuberant character—a man…

In One Picture: Reina Torres’s “In the Dark” (Contest–Two Winners!)

“In the Dark” by Reina Torres – During a blackout, an undercover NSA agent falls hard and fast for the military guy living across the hall with secrets of his own. When the call came out for stories about Secret Identities, I had a few ideas and started them, and they petered out, leaving me worried that I just didn’t have a story for the anthology in me. I can also be dogged when it comes to things, and that’s when…

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* “Perfect Stranger” by N. J. Walters – An undercover DEA agent must keep his identity secret from the woman he’s falling for, a woman he’s also investigating.

He’s investigating everyone who works at the diner, including the waitress…

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

I have a special love for these collections! I started writing novels but quickly got bored of being pigeonholed in certain genres. When I saw a call for submissions for a short story, I thought, what better way to experiment and have a little fun? Soon, I was writing shorties and getting them published in various places. Then I submitted to Cleis Press with ideas for anthologies of my own, and I was on my way. I’ve tried to do…

UPDATE: The winner is…Cindy! *~*~* Although I wrote my first romance in the eighth grade, I didn’t take up a pen seriously until ten years later.  In my senior year in university, I enrolled in a creative writing class.  I was in my literature phase and wanted to write a series of short stories for a collection.  Classic Canadian dramatic and dreary short stories.  My professor said, “No. You must write a novel.” I was like…huh? Interestingly, my friend had…
