It Doesn't Always Rain: A Collection of Literary Erotica

by Tess Mackenzie

Melissa is surprised when her boyfriend wants to watch her perform oral sex on other men. Naomi’s boyfriend asks her to have a threesome with one of his friends. Bec moves back to her family farm in rural Australia, and is lonely and horny too, while Michelle moves to the suburbs, a long way from everyone she knows, and feels the same. Anna masturbates out of loneliness and boredom, and gets unexpectedly caught, and Nina flirts with her masseur and doesn’t. Sophie and Josh are the couple who still whisper together and kiss in public long after everyone else they know has stopped, until they meet another couple who are the same.

Twelve stories of erotic possibility and confusion.

About the author

Hey goodreads! Um, hi. Wave.

So first, thank you to everyone for being interested enough to read this. And the stories. Really, just thank you all heaps for reading what I've written until now, and wanting to read other things, and just for everything, really. I'm really, really grateful to everyone who's interested.

And thank you also to whoever is putting books up here. That's cool, and I really appreciate it!

So what’s going on with my books is a bit weird and kind of confusing, and I just wanted to explain properly so it’s clear.

Basically, everything I write is free to read on my website, or on Wattpad, and usually on Smashwords too, including all the stories in the anthology collection books that are for sale some places.

What happens is I mostly write short stories, and as I write them I put them up those places. Then, after a while, the anthologies collect the existing stories, and bundle them into tidier ebooks and print books.

So the stories in the anthologies are the same ones as are in the individual, single ebooks, and the ebooks can be read free, all over the place, if you’d rather to that.

So this is just to say all that, so no-one doesn’t realize and feels cheated or something. And also, I hope I used enough bold!

The anthologies at the moment are...

Getting Into a Girl's Shorts: Short Sometimes-Erotic Fiction about Women With Women

It Doesn't Always Rain: A Collection of Literary Erotica

Squishy Group Hugs: Collected Smut

...and the book pages at Amazon or wherever say which stories are in where.

So basically, there's no need to pay for anything unless you want to, and there’s nothing unique in the paid books, so don’t go thinking otherwise.

Which all sounds a bit weird right? Everything's free except it isn't?

Basically, while it would be nice to sell billions of books one day, I really also just want people to read what I write, and I also don't want anyone to feel pressured to hand over money, and this is how it ended up. So all a bit Wattpad, and that way of doing things, rather than the more normal print-book kind of model. And also yes, it is basically a devious plan to, um, I don't know, win you over, I guess, and guilt you into one day eventually buying things. But really, really mild guilt, I completely promise. So don't worry if you never end up buying anything. Read all the same!

So anyway. We're all clear on how this works now? Yay!

Um, what else. So just to say this too, really clearly, so I don't accidentally offend someone or something, I WRITE EROTICA so anything near me is potentially rude. Please don't get offended and then upset and then angry. Anger is bad for you and whatnot.

Um, yeah. Sorry to shout.

And I'm not here especially often either, so just to say that in case I haven't found the inbox or something! I'll work it out.

So that's all.

Except, just, thank you for reading what I’ve written until now. It makes a big difference that people are, and I’m starting to get the hang of all this, I think! So thank you.

Excellent book. At last, a book that I actually turned the pages, looking forward to seeing what would happen next.
Realistic and not porn. Just sex and reality.
Fun and highly entertaining.
