Review :
"M.Christian is the chameleon of modern erotica. One day punk, another romantic; one day straight, another totally perverse and polyamorous. But always sexy and gripping."
-Maxim Jakubowksi, editor of the Mammoth Book of Erotica series
"M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy-there's nothing he can't write about ... and brilliantly."
-Tristan Taormino, writer, speaker, sex educator, and activist
"M.Christian's fiction has a sexy logic all its own. He's inventive and he's irreverent. His language can seduce, surprise, and body-slam you.
-Cecilia Tan, author and founder and manager of Circlet Press
"Reading these tales is like climbing on for a sexual magic carpet ride through different times and places, diverse bodies, and infinite possibilities."
-Carol Queen, author, sex educator
"M.Christian's erotic stories are always surprising, satisfying and imaginative. The variety of his sexual scenarios is awesome, yet there's an element to each that always rings authentic and true."
-Marilyn Jaye Lewis, author of Neptune & Surf
"M.Christian is a writer who takes you for a long walk down a dark wet street at midnight. You can't get much more edgy and still be legal. His fiction never disappoints."
-Nancy Kilpatrick, author of The Power of the Blood series and In the Shadow of the Gargoyle
"M.Christian weaves sex in and around engrossing tales of odd characters caught up in unusal - even bizarre - situations. No quickies here, but fine reading that sizzles."
-Marcy Sheiner, editor of The Oy of Sex, and the Herotica series
