Happy Cake And Cunnilingus Day!


Today is Cake And Cunnilingus Day! It's another fake holiday, but one with a kick. I first heard about this holiday thanks to men who couldn't see beyond the crass commercialism of Valentine's Day. I'm not here to get into an argument as to whether or not Valentine's Day was created by Hallmark, candy companies, and florists to part the gullible from their hard-earned money. I'm also not here to defend the day from uncoupled people who rightly feel left out on February 14. I turn that day into my own special day, and I know plenty of men and women who do likewise. I celebrate it with my husband and my son. My mom sends me a card every year. It's simply that some men chose to use that day as a launching pad for their own holiday which they believed celebrated men and what they wanted from relationships as well as make fun of Valentine's Day.

It's called Steak And Blowjob Day. Yeah, I laughed too. Steak and BJ Day is one month after Valentine's Day, specifically on March 14.

That day is already very special to me. You see, it's my birthday. So not only did I celebrate my birthday in style, we ate surf and turf. And other things. :)

Women heard about that day and had to create a day of their own, hence Cake And Cunnilingus Day a month later on April 14. I was afraid these fake holidays would go on forever; what with Biscuits And BDSM Day on May 14, Absinthe And Anal Day on June 14, Meat and Masturbation Day on July 14, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Thankfully, it stopped, but I must admit Cake And Cunnilingus Day has a nice ring to it. And I always appreciate some good muff diving. :)

In celebration of Cake And Cunnilingus Day, I'd like to tell you about my lesbian fiction. I've written four lesbian short stories. They are listed as follows:
"Lost In Her Mouth" in my "Tales of Lust and Longing" anthology published by Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.
"Neighbors", in the "Vamps" lesbian anthology published by Torquere Press.
"Things That Go Hump In The Night', in the "I Kissed A Girl II: More Virgin Lesbian Stories" anthology published by Ravenous Romance.
"Unfolding Her Wings", which will appear in the "Women On The Edge Of Space" lesbian anthology to be published by Circlet Press on May 3, 2011.
You may find all four of these books in my Short Stories tab on my web site. Just scroll down until you get to the proper book. Information and buy links are there as well.

Below is my brand new cover for "Women On The Edge Of Space". Isn't it lovely?


So, eat some cake and then eat some pie today. Celebrate a fake holiday that's fun for a change. You'll both enjoy it.
