Slightly related to Heathen City, this.

By invitation from Kyell Gold from Sofawolf Press I contributed a story to their upcoming anthology, titled simply X. Isn't that just a fabulous title? It's a series of erotic stories all focusing around one of the Ten Commandments. The book is due for release at Anthrocon '09 and will feature ten stories, by my own bad self and others including Kyell, K. M. Hirosaki, Fuzzwolf, Renee Carter Hall, Whyte Yoté, with interior art by Blotch and Heather Bruton, who also contributed the cover: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2189975/. Ain't that gorgeous?

I sniped what I consider the most fascinating commandment, though it's often overlooked: "I am the Lord thy God."

That one's always given me goosebumps, because while the others are advice or admonishments, this one is a bold, ballsy statement. "Here's how it is, and with that being the case, here's some other advice..."

"I am the Lord thy God" is set in Dorset in the late eighties or early nineties, it isn't exactly clear, and while there aren't any explicit references to Heathen City, it certainly does take place in the same universe and has a clear place in its continuity. Since the story is meant to stand alone there's no overt tie-ins to the graphic novel you all know and love, but the casually familiar reader should spot one of the protagonists' secret identity from page 1 (who, I wonder, might have found himself in an English priory in his teenaged years?) and the eagle-eyed one might spot a few more familiar faces mentioned, obliquely and in passing.

I'm very excited about this one. More info as it becomes available!
