The grace period (SW, chapter 7)

chanson, November 13, 2007

When I woke up, Jake was already in the shower. I rested in bed listening to the water and gathering my strength.

Jake came out of the bathroom in his boxers and started getting dressed. “Well? You’d better get up and take your shower,” he said. “You’ve got a big day ahead of you.” Read the rest of the story ร‚ยป

Mormons are too risque for Mormonism

April 28, 2009January 15, 2011

Didn’t anyone else see that Deseret Book has removed the Twilight series from their shelves? Who knew that a non-vampire teenage female NOT having pre-marital sex with a teenage male vampire was so risque that it was offensive to Mormon sensibilities, especially considering it was written expressly to be acceptable…

Mormon Erotica, Mormon Romance

January 17, 2018September 14, 2024

Mormon Erotica, the new novel from Donna Banta, is a joyous page-turner that, despite the title, is far more concerned with love and romance than sex. While the book contains plenty of reflection on Mormon attitudes toward sex and marriage, the action depicted is strictly PG. As with so many…

    Thanks Wayne and Guy!!

    There’s nothing automatic about it. On my website for the novel, I edit the html and php files by hand. (I should upgrade to an automatic system with an RSS feed, but it’s such a small modification each time that I don’t bother.)

    As for the PDF file (which you have and others can get by emailing me chanson dot exmormon at gmail dot com), the entire novel is there. No need to request further updates… ๐Ÿ˜‰
