Coming Together: Pro Bono

In September 2014, the popular review blog Dear Author published a post detailing issues involving Ellora's Cave, a renowned pioneer in the genre of erotic romance. The information provided (much of it a matter of public record) did not portray Ellora's Cave in a favorable light. Ellora's Cave reacted by filing a defamation suit against Dear Author and its owner. Soon thereafter, a crowdfunding campaign was created by Smart B*tches to collect donations for the legal defense of Dear Author. Coming Together: Pro Bono is collection of erotic fiction to benefit the Dear Author Legal Defense Fund. Dear Author has stated that any contributions in excess of the amount needed for legal expenses will be donated to the Society of Professional Journalists Legal Defense Fund (spj.org/ldf.asp). * * *CONTENTS:Introduction (Barry Eisler)Passive Aggressive Corporate Sex (Daniel Burnell)Blue Heaven (Robert Buckley)Tomorrow's Much Too Long (Solace Ames)On the Fly (Lynn Townsend)Recycled Dreams (Lefty McGee) Jack (Leigh Ellwood) Recognition (Salome Wilde and Talon Rihai) I Live for It (Peach Robidoux)Aim to Please (Beth Wylde)Innocent Caress (Lefty McGee)We Three Kinks (Emily Ryan-Davis)Facing the Dark (Xan West) Cybersex (Audrey Lusk) Word Count (Lefty McGee)Wanton Sacrifice (Heather Lin) Domestic Discipline (Victoria Blisse) Swoop (Jean Roberta)Defiling Love (Lefty McGee)Nuisance Alligator (Kimber Vale)A Modern Samson (Nobilis Reed)Forbidden Fruit and Honey (Salome Wilde) Queen for a Day (Lefty McGee) Blood on Love (Alessia Brio)
