My friend Guy Hogan, publisher and editor of the online girlie magazine the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, always says “The best stories about sex are not about sex at all.” Now what does he mean by that? Well he explains it very nicely in this little piece below where he writes about me and my Good Pussy Bad Pussy books. I hope you enjoy his wise words – and thank you Guy!
“Good Pussy Bad Pussy: Romance and Sexuality by Guy Hogan
Hello hello hello hello hello, fans of girlie magazines who live all over the world! Welcome to my little girlie magazine, the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette.
How’s everyone doin’?
I was at my workstation so early this morning (around 2:30 a.m.) that I had to take a long nap before posting this my second post for the day. But that’s a good thing, because when I took my nap I had no idea what else to blog about. Now I know exactly what to blog about: the work of Amy Aimee.
I discovered Amy Aimee…Well, I discovered her for the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette community. What I like and admire about her work is the mixture of romance and sexuality she is able to invest her characters with. It’s an intoxicating mix for an old romantic like myself.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again and again and again. The best stories about sex are not about sex at all. The best stories about sex are really about characterization; they are really about relationships no matter how explicit the sex may be.
Spank my bare bottom and call me a nudist. You know you can’t beat that with a stick!
Amy has her own category here at The Gazette where you will find her fiction and a revealing interview, too. The category is Good Pussy Bad Pussy. Check it out.
Amy, the Old Soldier salutes you!
Guy Hogan”
