By e.f. coleman (Cyberpunk)
Not your father’s cyberpunk
2054, Los Angeles. An age of total surveillance, corruption, and untrammeled corporate power, where most citizens keep their heads down, or risk losing them. Yet there are those determined to resist. When impulsive, naive party girl Nadine falls in love with the wrong person, she tumbles into an abyss whose inhabitants are hunted as terrorists, feared for their hacking skills, and loathed by the rich and powerful. Soon she is on the run in a treacherous underworld she is not prepared for: a place of high-tech DNA-tuned poisons, brain hacking, autonomous killer drones, and systematic government corruption. Trust and betrayal lurk around every corner, and each step down the rabbithole risks pieces of herself she cannot afford to lose. How long before there's nothing left? Debut author E.F. Coleman offers a searing glimpse into a dystopia that is at once bleak and all too plausible.
As the prophet said, when it's you against the world, back the world.
The Brazen Altar
By Eunice Hung & Franklin Veaux (Science Fiction, Erotica)
THE SCIENCE FICTION BANNED FROM AMAZON FOR EROTIC CONTENT!
In the far future utopia of the City, a world with no war, scarcity, or disease, distant but benevolent AIs rule as gods.
When you can call up anything you want from Providers, how do you develop meaning in your life? In a culture where sex, pleasure and service are the highest good, three women choose to sacrifice themselves to become avatars of their gods.
Kheema dedicates 18 months to train and learn hoping to become the Sacrifice to the Sun God. She dreams of reciting the history of the City, bound atop the great ziggurat of the Fiery One enduring continual forced orgasms. Terlyn gives herself to the Quickener. For nine months she sleeps in the Garden, bound by vines whose thorns both nourish and sedate her, repeatedly called to brief wakefulness by orgasm. Worshippers seek the deity’s blessing through Terlyn’s body. For Ashi, service to the Wild means surrendering herself in a forest that appears overnight. She seeks to be Sacrifice in a ritual involving her bound body, an altar, and cages full of fellow worshippers. She is encouraged by her lover Riyan, who mischievously proposes using a drug that allows each of them to feel whatever the other feels during the ritual.

Divine Burdens
By Eunice Hung & Franklin Veaux (Science Fiction, Erotica, Erotic Horror)
In the far future utopia of the City, a world with no war, scarcity, or disease, distant but benevolent AIs rule as gods.
But these gods demand something in return for their benevolence. In this City, where there's no money, no scarcity, and no want, the only thing you have to have to bargain with is your body.
Three very different women embark on three separate, harrowing but deeply erotic paths to become the Sacrifice to, and representative of, their gods. Each of these women will be forever altered by their experiences.

The Hallowed Covenant
By Eunice Hung & Franklin Veaux (Science Fiction, Erotica)
Be careful what you wish for! An eight-hour orgasm? What should be divine becomes an exquisitely agonizing ordeal for Tessia, who makes the ultimate quivering sacrifice to the god called the Blesser; but for Avia, who takes Tessia' s place when she' s unable to live up to her commitment to the god, it' s a revelation as well as an act of devotion. For Sayi, leader of the Confessory, her lot is to accept the erotic penalties due for others' transgressions and offer them a path to atonement; while Yaeris, whose impulsive decision to participate in the Dance of Sacrifice to the Lady of Arts, faces sensual consequences she couldn’t possibly have anticipated.
Welcome to the City, a post-scarcity society without war or disease, ruled by benevolent AIs who are worshipped through rituals of sex and connection. How can a society function with no law, no police, and no hierarchy? When anything you could ever need is available from a Provider whenever you want, how do you find meaning or purpose? When a woman of the City breaks a promise to one of the gods, her decision has profound effects on other people, and she must find a way to atone for her transgression.
The lives of four women wrap intimately around each other, in a complex story of transgression, atonement, forgiveness, and creation.

Black Iron
(Steampunk, Alternate History)
It's 1885, but not as we know it. Queen Victoria doesn't exist, the British Empire never happened, and the British don't drink tea.
The schism between the One True French Catholic Church and the heretical Italian Catholic Church has stoked three centuries of conflict, imploding the dream of European ascendancy. Thousands flee the Spanish Inquisition for havens in Germany, France, Britain and the colonies of the New World.
Into this world falls Thaddeus Mudstone Ahmed Alexander Pinkerton, a small-time petty thief who has just stolen from the airship of Her Majesty Queen Margaret, and finds himself in the middle of a murderous plot with far-reaching implications. The fate of this world lies, as it often does, in the hands of a motley and disparate crew brought together by inglorious serendipity.
A new edition from a new publisher is coming soon!

The Game Changer: A memoir of disruptive love
My memoir about my open marriage and the game-changing relationship that transformed by ideas about polyamory.
To make an open marriage work, Franklin and Celeste knew they needed to make sure no one else ever came between them. That meant there had to be rules. No overnights, no falling in love, and either one of them could ask the other to end an outside relationship if it became too much to deal with. It worked for nearly two decades and their relentless focus on their own relationship let them turn a blind eye to the emotional wreckage they were leaving behind them.

Nineteen Weeks
By William Vitelli (pseudonym) (BDSM erotica)
Amy Silver had a conventional life as a suburban housewife married to a successful man. That all changed the day she discovered her husband's affair--and how she responded surprised her.
When she caught him red-handed, she proposed a solution that would avoid the mess of a loud and public divorce. Instead, she told her husband and his mistress that they would belong to her for nineteen weeks, the same length of time the affair had been going on. For those nineteen weeks, both of them would help her to fulfill her wildest fantasies, no questions asked. The things all three of them learned during that time would change their lives forever.
Erotic fiction with strong BDSM themes, including group sex, blackmail, and bondage.

And when he told her that he'd invited the watcher over for a more personal introduction, things got more interesting still.

This is a fun thing to have up in your living room or bedroom. The poster includes a glossary of some of the more unusual practices and terms, and might just give you some new sex ideas to try in the bedroom. Interestingly, I've even received an email from a couples therapist who says he uses the Map to help get his clients talking about sex.
Varieties of Non-Monogamy

Just the thing for exploring the complexities of how we relate to each other.
