 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed
by Melissa P.
A modern day Story of O, 100 Strokes is the unabashedly shameless diary of a young girl’s conquest for love.

Graphically detailing erotic encounters in words far beyond her age, Melissa P. takes us on a startlingly vivid journey of self-discovery through her encounters with both sexes, some of them met through schoolmates, group sex, chat rooms and newspaper ads. Her secret life is kept far from family and friends, and emerges only in her diary entries. The most striking debut we’ve seen from an erotic author in a long, long time; you will devour Melissa’s bittersweet escapade of 100 Strokes from beginning to end. | Learn more about 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed.

A murder mystery whodunit full of deliciously explicit gay and poly sex, and complete with an English country house setting, a family of eccentrics and a young handsome detective accompanied by an equally lascivious “Watson”-esque male companion. A hilariously well-written mystery that is just as good a read as the copious amounts of sexual entanglements. Sharp, witty, and brilliantly crafted! | Learn more about Back Passage.
