READ AN EXCERPT 

“Going back to him is not an option,” said that deep, masculine voice in the darkness.

Racine felt a tickle across her bare foot. When she looked down, a garter snake glided effortlessly across her toes. She screamed, dropping the hose, and accidentally kicked the snake into the air. In the darkness, its black skin shimmered orange with firelight.

She stumbled backwards, tripping over the hose and falling flat. Her wet clothes adhered to her skin like they’d been glued on, but she couldn’t steal her gaze away from the snake caught mid-air.  

Was it stuck in a spiderweb, or something? How was it doing that, floating there?

And then, as the lawn held her down, something unbelievable happened: the snake… changed. At first, she couldn’t tell what was going on. It grew bigger, wider, thicker, and as it did so, its form altered considerably. The snake became more than just a snake. It sprouted arms, sprouted legs. The tail remained a tail, of sorts, except it moved to the front and… oh! Racine felt awfully naughty when she realized she was staring unapologetically at a cock.

Her gaze darted up the man’s form, stumbling over rippling abs and a hard chest. His skin was as dark as could be—much darker than hers—but it lost the characteristic glimmer of a snake’s. Standing before her was a man, no question. A naked man—no question about that, either.

“What… who…” Racine skittered away from the stranger, her hands and feet slipping against the wet grass. “Is this for real?”

Home Fires: 10 Kinky Sex Stories

 Hi, fam! 

I uploaded this book last week and then I got food poisoning and was out of commission for days.

So I apologize for the delay in telling you about it!

This book has been in the works for years, since I got my rights back on a bunch of short stories I'd written for erotic anthologies about a decade ago. I used to do a lot of short story writing. I was so prolific early in my career. 

When I looked over the list of stories I had to work with, I got the idea of dividing them into stories that took place at home (ie. in the character's own house) and stories that took place elsewhere.

What I like about this theme of at-home sex is the idea that my characters could feel really... well... at home. That way, they're comfortable enough to delve into new desires and kinks.

And there's a lot of kink in this book! Off the top of my head, I can recall threesomes and moresomes, voyeurism, butt stuff, various forms of BDSM. Have you ever been whipped with a damp towel? It hurts! And I don't want you thinking this is all straight stuff. There are lots of lesbian couples in this book, too. 

Have fun with this one. I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. 

Home Fires
10 Kinky Sex Stories
Giselle Renarde

Happy husbands, loving wives, kinky couples, trios and more! The amorous folks in this erotic anthology know they can get the good stuff under their own roof. Only at home do they feel safe enough to truly let their freak flags fly. Why go out? Stay in tonight and keep the home fires burning bright!

Play It On My Radio: A Diary In Music

I'm ridiculously excited about this new book. It's full of posts from my music blog, A Friendly Musical Visitor Every Day. You can still read the posts in this book for free on that site, but you can also own your own curated copy in a form that can sit on your bookshelf--whether your bookshelf is digital or physical.

Writing daily posts for my music blog has been a life-saving endeavour. I hope you'll enjoy visiting or revisiting my words in this fabulous new book!

Play It On My Radio
A Diary In Music
By Giselle Renarde

Join award-winning queer Canadian author Giselle Renarde for a year's worth of music and memories. As we listen to songs from a variety of genres, Giselle shares anecdotes about growing up in the 80s, being a teen of the 90s, and listening to the radio on those long and lonely nights in her first apartment. Accompany Giselle on a musical journey as she revisits the days of her youth through song.

From the introduction to Play It On My Radio:

My name is Giselle and I'm your new best friend. Well, maybe not "best friend." A best friend usually listens in addition to talking, but that's not me. What I will do is be here every day to share whichever song pops into my head.

Why? What's the point?

Well, here's the thing: I'm a writer. It's a pretty lonely job. Over the years, I've become increasingly socially isolated and you know what? It sucks. It sucks bad.

The truth of the matter is that a lot of us are socially isolated, these days. And not just older people—younger ones, too. There are "friendly visitor" programs for seniors, but those of us under 65 are kind of lost at sea. I speak from experience.

If you need a no-pressure visit every day, let me be your friendly visitor. I'll bring a song—whichever song pops into my head, gets stuck in my head, or seems relevant to something that day.

As a person with chronic depression, music has helped me more than anything. It's magic, I swear. I hope my little musical visits will give you something to look forward to every day, because they'll certainly do that for me.

by Giselle Renarde

Ready to indulge in queer confessional fiction? Three books from Giselle Renarde’s Lesbian Diaries series are now available in one collection! This volume includes Fortune's Diary, Juliet's Diary: My Secret Plague Journal, and Emma's Diary: Anxious, Insecure, and Madly in Love.

Emma finally has everything she wants in life, so why isn't she happy? If this is supposed to be the best time of her life, then why is she constantly questioning her situation? It's not easy to build a full-time future with someone when you're sure it'll all fall apart. A million things could go wrong, but will Emma ever learn to see how much is going right?

Juliet is young and in love. Problem is, there’s a pandemic gripping the planet. She knows she’s not supposed to leave the house, but her lust for her girlfriend makes her defiant. How can Juliet get close to Romi if she has to stay away?

Fortune is thirty and living with her mother. There's nothing she'd love more than to be swept off her feet by a beautiful stranger, but that hasn't happened yet. She's worried it never will. And then along comes Maya, her mother's tarot reader. Can she possibly date a girl who claims to see the future? Fortune doesn't believe in psychic ability, but is she willing to let true love pass her by?

Lesbian fiction from award-winning queer Canadian author Giselle Renarde.
