Spicy Sapphic Stories: Anthologies That Bring The Heat

If you’re a fan of spicy sapphic stories, you’re in the right place. 🌶️

When I started writing lesbian erotica back in 2011, I didn’t have a grand plan—just a love for telling stories about women loving women.

Short stories were my gateway into writing, and they opened a world of possibility, passion, and connection that I’m so grateful to have explored.

Now, as a full-time sapphic romance author, I look back on those early years with so much fondness.

Those short, spicy tales were where it all began for me, and they remain a special part of my journey.

While I’m now much more focused on writing full-length sapphic romance novels, my anthologies  and collections of short stories are a reminder of the spark that started it all.

If you want some steamy stories that will set your heart racing, let me introduce you to a few collections that might just set your Kindle on fire (don’t say I didn’t warn you!) 🔥

Where It All Started: Spicy Sapphic Stories

These anthologies are where it all began for me—back when I was a baby writer in 2011, dipping my toes into the delightfully steamy world of sapphic short stories.

While I’ve since hung up my erotica-writing hat to focus on sapphic romance novels, these collections will always hold a special place in my heart (and on my bookshelf).

They’re a reminder of the spark that got me started: a love for crafting stories that are equal parts heat, heart, and a dash of mischief. So, if you’re curious about how it all started, these anthologies are the perfect place to begin.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
