Needed by STARbooks Press:

BIG HOLIDAY PACKAGES
Edited by Eric Summers

Deadline: June 15, 2010

The holiday season brings joy and sexy scenarios to many. Do you have a Santa fetish? Do you fantasize about Maccabees? Do you get aroused when you see a big candy cane? Nice things come in little packages, but even nicer things come in big packages!

In what will be our second Holiday-themed anthology, we are seeking original and sexy stories about the holidays and the characters who make their annual appearances to the excitement of men of all ages. Think outside the gift-wrapped package. We don't want just stories about two men who meet at Christmas and fall into bed. Give your story a licorice twist, with sugar plums and latkes for everyone.

Also, if you choose to write about an historic or obscure winter holiday or ritual, be sure you know what you are talking about!

We request that your packages come from men who are at least 18 years old as we want stories about men, not boys!

I am seeking well-written stories that are erotic, not just pornographic. There are no limits to the possibilities or scenarios. All we ask is that writers be creative, have fun, and offer our readers something fresh and new. And, humor is always greatly appreciated! I want well-developed characters and plots, believable and accurate situations (even if it is fantasy or science fiction, it must make sense), and settings, along with internal consistency. All characters must be at least 18 years of age.

Feel free to query me about the thinking you may have about a story for this anthology at eric@starbookspress.com.

Thanks,
Eric Summers
