Can anyone recomend some titles or authors. I am looking for some erotic fiction specially written for women. Most of the stuff I have seen is very male oriented.

I looked on amazon but there is just too much there I need to have a better idea of titles or authors.

Thanks in advance

Delta of Venus by Anais Nin is always a popular one. It was originally written for a man, however, women generally tend to find it arousing.

Anne Rice has written erotica under the psuedonym Anne Rampling. She is a good writer and anyone who has written her "mainstream' novels can imagine what her erotica is like. She's often pretty fetishy though, so not always for the faint of heart. There is a line of erotica published out of the UK called black lace "written by and for women". SOme is good, like the anthologies. Others I have leafed through in Chapters, didn't look so good. Otherwise, being a guy, I don't really know of aything else worthwile.

PS - THere is a huge free website of all amateur erotica, some of which is quite good. I'm not sure if I can give the title here, but I'm sure you can find it on google. To cut to some of the good stuff, go to author awards.

Do you want an actual story line or just straight to the point? If you want a good story line with hot and sexy but not sleezy love scenes I reccomend anything from Shannon McKenna or Lori Foster. They're both great.

If you're just looking for the 'good stuff', try the Black Lace line. It's written by women, for women. I have several of them and it's pretty good stuff, lol. You can find them at any typical bookstore like Atlantic Books, in the Adult Fiction section.

I like the short stories edited by Lonnie Barbach. She has two collections that I'm fond of: Pleasures and The Erotic Edge.
