Raunchy, Nerdy and a Little Philanthropical(y)

One of my favorite songs is "Bragadaccio" by MC Frontalot (nerdcore rap). No idea how I picked up that genre, but there it is.

Some pertinent lyrics:
I stand 77-feet tall
I got 8 balls
And alla ya'll are
Subject to my thrall.


The full song, a live video.

I know, I know. Trust me, it's a fun bit. And it's pertinent to my blog today!

Early this month, Freya's Bower released DREAMS & DESIRES 3, a collection of romantic and erotic tales of varying heat levels and varying sexual orientations. The book is available in e-book or paperback, direct from the publisher (preferred) and even from Amazon.com.

DREAMS & DESIRES 3 is a charity anthology. Proceeds from your purchase are donated to a battered women's shelter in New Orleans, which is still struggling to recover from hurricane damage even years after Hurricane Katrina. I don't usually say "You should buy a copy of my book," but I'll say it about this one because it's not MY book; it belongs to every woman who has ever wanted something out of life.

Even if all she wanted was a man with the traditional number of testicles.

Excerpt from my contribution, "Wednesday at the Manporium," included in DREAMS & DESIRES 3


“Penis tricks!” she shrieked. “I’m getting magic penis tricks and pierced nipples.”

Nita covered her mouth with both hands. Horror widened her eyes and she added her own muffled “Oh no.”

“Keep your voice down!” Her mother whispered fiercely. “What are you talking about?”

“The list. It’s all wrong.” Hands shaking, she poked at the screen and scrolled through the remainder of the document. Her headache hammered along at the same tempo as her racing pulse, rocketing toward migraine-scale pain. Nausea dug in deep—an echo of the hangover she’d experienced the day after she and Nita stayed up ‘til crazy hours sucking down frivolously fruity mixed drinks and giggling over their most outlandish “dream man” fantasies. Phrases along the lines of “ten-inch tongue” and “hung like an elephant” had cropped up that night. Had they made it onto the mistake list?

Nita reached across the dainty table and grabbed the notebook. “Let me see.”

Relinquishing the device without protest, she dropped her head back against the nubby upholstery and stared at the “no returns” plaque mounted beneath a portrait of a smiling, beautiful couple. A success story in the making—unlike her disastrous creation. “I think I need to throw up.”

Beneath her breath, Nita muttered, “Damn.” Twice.

Old-fashioned wedding bells rang through the store. Even though she was seated, Abigail shook through a wave of dizziness. “I can’t believe this. Tell me he’s not going to have five…”

Unable to make herself finish the sentence, she bit down on her bottom lip and prayed her groom came with the traditional number of testicles.

I'm going to have to buy this since my husband was the source of the penis tricks, LOL. Actually, you made me tear up a little when you said it wasn't your book it's the book of every woman who's ever had a dream of something better. Or however poetically you phrased it. Wahhhh!

Nice blog.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this anthology. You all need to see how Emily's story unfolds LOL
It is definitely an anthology written for every woman who's ever dreamed of something better, something every woman deserves.
Good stuff, Emily. Kudo's to you.
