September is a great time to get into BED — and so I will be working it! September will be VERY stimulating for people who love kinky sex, myself included. I’m talking about some good, old-fashioned BDSM intellectual stimulation, of course.
In the works are a few wonderful new additions to the BED family of educators, writers, activists and scholars whose contributions we honor and whose work we archive here. I’ll be updating our visual library this coming week with historic Leather/BDSM history photos. On this week’s agenda will be another brilliant contribution of photo art from Ephraim Gonzalez plus a new gallery of trail-blazing people and publications in the Mistress Michelle Collection.
First and foremost, however, BED just added a new educator to our main directory. The wonderfully talented and diverse writer, M. Christian, was just listed in the BED Educators Directory Check it out.
To get some idea of the scope of M. Christian’s work, here is the professional bio he submitted with his application.
“Calling M.Christian versatile is a tremendous understatement. Extensively published in science fiction, fantasy, horror, thrillers, and even nonfiction, it is in erotica that M.Christian has become an acknowledged master, with stories in such anthologies as Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, Best Bisexual Erotica, Best Fetish Erotica, and in fact too many anthologies, magazines, and sites to name.
M.Christian’s short fiction has been collected in many bestselling books in a wide variety of genres, including the Lambda Award finalist Dirty Words and other queer collections like Filthy Boys and BodyWork. He also has published collections of nonfiction (Welcome to Weirdsville, Pornotopia, and How to Write and Sell Erotica); science fiction, fantasy, and horror (Love Without Gun Control); and erotic science fiction including Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than the Real Thing, the acclaimed The Bachelor Machine, Skin Effect, and Hard Drive.
As a novelist, M.Christian has shown his monumental versatility with books such as the queer vamp novels Running Dry and The Very Bloody Marys; the erotic romance Brushes; the science fiction erotic novel Painted Doll; and the rather controversial gay horror/thrillers Finger’s Breadth and Me2.
But M.Christian has other tricks up his literary sleeve: in addition to writing, he is a prolific and respected anthologist, having edited 25 anthologies to date including the Best S/M Erotica series; Pirate Booty; My Love For All That Is Bizarre: Sherlock Holmes Erotica; The Burning Pen; The Mammoth Book of Future Cops, and The Mammoth Book of Tales of the Road (with Maxim Jakubowksi); Confessions, Garden of Perverse, and Amazons (with Sage Vivant), and many more.
M.Christian has also become a celebrated sexual futurist, both through his novels and short stories as well as being a Senior Columnist for Future Of Sex” and a featured columnist for Kinkly.
We are so proud of the BED we are building, and all of the high-quality educators we are attracting from around the world.
