What could be a better time of year for erotic stories than Beltane (May Day)? Dancing around a fire naked in the woods, enjoying connection , love and intimacy without shame? Mm, yeah, give me some of that. Sadly, this year, I was in isolation at home.
But I'll be bringing out a little of that Beltane spirit in tonight's chapter of Phoenix Rising: the Immortality Curse.
I'm really happy with how this chapter came out. It's hot, but I also hope it will touch something deep inside you.
It was not easy to write. This strikes way too close to my own spirituality to be something simple. Of course there are some changes to fit into fiction, but the idea of opening your soul to the divine and sharing that with your community and tribe is very sacred to me.
I had kind of wanted to do something like this, but had shied away from it. But we had a bit of a discussion over on the Phoenix Rising Discord and I found out that my desires mirrored things I was hearing from my readers. It was really neat to find support in my readers for some of the ideas that I anted to pursue but wasn't sure I had enough confidence to pull off. So I did, and I think it's great.
The chapter will come out tonight as usual. If you find this interesting and want to read some non-fiction discussion of what this sort of work is like in the real world, I invite you over to my spiritual blog.
If you are enjoying, please leave a comment and consider joining us over on Discord. Chatting in real time with people exploring a story is a lot of fun.
