One of those individuals was an editor with a new imprint to Audiogo.com, called Insatiable Press. This imprint is very fresh and they are looking for active and new authors to submit to this new venture they are starting. This particular editor handles the erotica line and between the ease in which you can talk to him and the exciting process in which to take part in, I got to thinking about submitting an erotica piece to them.

10 Signs Your Man Is A Psychopath

Are you in a relationship with a psychopath? You might think that’s something you’d know right away by the red tint of evil in the person’s eyes, the swastika tat on the forehead, or the insistence on discussing serial killers over dinner. But nope! Psychopaths can be extremely charming and come across like Prince Charming at first. When Strong Women Are Attacked by Weak Men (and Women) These past weeks, French and international press has placed the private life of the President, Francois Hollande, his now former companion, Valerie Trierweiler and a French actress, Julie Gayet, on the front page non-stop.

I watched and listened to a few interviews with Ms. Trierweiler but do not know her or anyone who knows her, but my impression is that, whatever her faults, (and she has some like we all do), she actually is a pretty straightforward outspoken woman.

A Breakup Letter from Simone de Beauvoir. By Maria Popova “I can still feel warm and happy and harshly grateful when I look at you inside me.”

A Breakup Letter from Simone de Beauvoir

As a lover of letters, especially exquisite love letters, I find myself enamored with Hell Hath No Fury: Women’s Letters from the End of the Affair (public library) by Anna Holmes — a moving, rigorously researched collection of breakup letters from women across ten centuries, known and unknown, including favorites like Anaïs Nin and Sylvia Plath, and divided thematically — the tell-offs, the “just friends,” the marriage refusals, the unsent letters, and more.

(Bonus points: The foreword is by none other than Francine Prose.) One of the most stirring letters in the anthology comes from French writer, feminist, intellectual, and existential philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, author of the cult-classic treatise The Second Sex.
