Glitter T*ts
At the arguably 'mature' age of 28, I pierced my nipples on a whim. When I was younger, I dreamed of piercing my nipples and belly button when I was 'thinner' (in quotes here because I was a UK size 10 to 12 at 18), when I had more confidence, after a boob job (because like most girls that age I thought my perky, natural breasts were 'saggy' thanks to porn). Of course, I never got thinner, perkier, or more confident because the world is a meat grinder and none of us make it out alive...

Don't Let Tinder Burn You . Top Story - September 2022.
It's the age of technology and the impact has been felt in our romantic lives perhaps more than any other. We are more able to meet dozens, or even hundreds of people, very quickly, we're more likely to meet people far removed from our friend and family groups, and we're empowered to find people who really suit our lifestyle and preferences. Of course for every prince, or princess, online dating puts us in contact with there are hundreds of trolls, frogs, and grade-A boogeymen.

A Doggone Disaster
I was crying at 3 am on the day of my dissertation deadline. With 8 hours left to submit the gargantuan project, a pounding migraine brewing behind my eyes, and the sense that all my hard work had been for nothing, I started to cry. You're probably wondering how I got in this position - why didn't I start sooner, right? Well, you'd be right to ask. I did start earlier you see - an accident involving a gerbil, a glass of wine, and my laptop set me back considerably.

Void Walkers
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Unfortunately for Dolores Tan all she could hear when the airlock opened without warning was her own scream. It was pure luck that she was fastening her helmet when it did, but she couldn't find the silver lining in that as the stars pinwheeled around her in a nausea-inducing light show. Whatever she had grabbed in a vain attempt to save herself was hooked to a fold of the thick orange suit. She pulled it close as the Eternal Hope flashed by again and again. Hard, elongated, shining - instead of grabbing one of the rails she had torn a spare oxygen canister from its place in the case. This could work. The colossal form of the ship was now in darkness. Something was wrong, terribly wrong,

The Body Isn't Something You Can Ruin
Scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, acne, loose skin - I've had (or got) it all. At 28 years old my body has been through its fair share of damage and change already. From semi-violent sports, accidents, and injuries to genetic conditions, sensitive skin, and yo-yo weight gain and loss as a result of mental illness and binge-purge eating it's hard not to feel that I've ruined my body.

Widower's Peak
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." The shopkeepers face was a map of the world; crisscrossing laughter lines slashed through gorges created by worry and anger. He drummed his large, blunt-nailed hands on the counter as Iain set up the camera and narrowed his flinty eyes, tan face puckering around them as if considering whether to continue.

7 Quick and Dirty Writing Tips for Romance
Romance is something I spend a lot of time thinking about - mostly because I publish romantic erotica under a pseudonym - and that's led to some startling realizations about the staples of creating an effective romance, how to write effective sex scenes, and some key mistakes to avoid. Despite all this, the one thing that remains elusive is the ability to make a fictional romance feel real.
