Riain Grey, 5 Girls and Other Bonds Than Leather

Over at ERWA I get the opportunity to see work by some of the most talented people writing erotica today. One that caught my eye recently is Riain Grey. She has a deft touch with language and the enthusiasm of someone who has found her voice and has things she wants to say.

Riain has just had a piece called 5 Girls featured in Cleansheets. It's a beautifully constructed short story in five pieces. Each piece is like an harmonic progression. The style is sparse and evocative. The tone is sensual and self exploratory. The passion and the characterisation are soaked into every word.

Riain also runs a pretty smart website called "who i want to be" and I'm delighted to say that she's featured my story "Other Bonds Than Leather". on her site.

Take a look at Riain's site and check out some of her stories.
