The physics of double penetration has astounded Zoë Moreno since the first time she heard it mentioned, spoken in hushed tones by a tipsy co-worker dreaming of a different life. The real world though is bound by spacial arrangement. Some things simply cannot be. On a bed atop a building at Aphrodite's Resort and Spa, she, her husband Kohl, and new friend Haziq will try to make this most complicated of sex acts happen. Cooper S. Beckett's Tales From Aphrodite's series of stand alone short stories includes both erotica and other short fiction set in and around the events of his novel Approaching the Swingularity, which follows a week in the lives of swingers and polyamorous couples at Aphrodite's Resort and Spa, a swinger resort in Cancún.
As a queer non-monogamous writer, Cooper S. Beckett endeavors to create characters that reflect the diverse lifestyles of his friends, his partners, and himself. From that mandate, he writes scary, silly, and sexy books and essays. Beginning his writing career as a podcaster and speaker in the sexuality education community, he wrote My Life on the Swingset, a memoir of his first five years in non-monogamy, then followed that up with two novels that take a brutally honest look at swinging and polyamory, A Life Less Monogamous, and Approaching the Swingularity. Returning to his first love, the horror genre, has been like a homecoming. From a young age, his obsession with horror movies and books seriously concerned his mother. It probably still does. Given a choice, he would rather winter at the Overlook than the Waldorf. Like Lydia Deetz, he has always thought of himself strange and unusual, be it his perspective on sexuality, monogamy, politics, or where Elder Gods ought to fall in the hierarchy.
He lives in Chicago with his wife, constant, and binary star, Ophilia Tesla, and their black cats Xander and Willow.
