Another week, another new story from me! This one’s a short story, the first half available on Medium right now. The second half will be posted on Friday, July 28 [edit: part two is now available]. It’s a fun story about a mature wife’s trip to Vegas with a hall pass from her husband. The events, while all fiction, were inspired by a friend and his own fantasy.
If you like it, please let me know. Leave a comment here or on Medium, or tweet at me on Twitter.
After a long drought, I’ve finally got a new book out! This one, like the last, is a collaboration with another fantastic writer, Ben Boswell (we wrote the Parallel Lines books together). I’ll write about how these collaborations work in another post (hopefully sooner rather than later), but the end result is great.
I Married a Party Girl will be published in two parts (the first is out now, the other will be out in a few weeks).
Kenzie and Ashley were quite the pair back in the day, desired by men, envied by women, and always the life of the party. But then they grew up… or did they?
A business trip and some unexpected revelations bring past and present into contact in a silly, sexy romp that that will answer that eternal question: What happens when you marry a Party Girl?
Party Girl, Book 1, is currently available at:
Keep checking the book details page for more (it’s coming to Apple Books, may even be there now but I can’t dig up a link).
The second (and final) book is available now! I Married a Party Girl 2 picks up right where the first book left off. We deal with Deshawn, Kenzie’s old coworker and boss, and how he brings out Kenzie’s party girl past, in ways that her best friend, Ashley, never could.

Max Sebastian and I wrote a thing! If you’ve been reading my books over the years, you’ll know that I work with a small group of other authors, bouncing ideas off one another.
Recently, Max has been focused on trying to find the (hotwife) silver-lining in this horrific pandemic. After he released A Lockdown Affair, we got to talking. Talking turned into writing. Writing turned into The Wife I Didn’t Know.
Here’s the blurb:
When Damien Sullivan woke from a COVID-19 induced coma, he couldn’t remember the last twenty years of his life. He didn’t recognize the world around him. He couldn’t remember the huge house he lived in or the successful career that he’d built. And most surprising of all, he couldn’t remember the woman he married.
Dana Sullivan is smart, successful, and gorgeous. Out of the nightmare of his memory loss, she is a dream come true. They explore one another anew, closer than strangers, fresh like new lovers.
And then Damien discovers that Dana hides a secret life of dark desires and sordid fantasies—one that even the old Damien didn’t know about. One that involved Dana stepping out with other men. One that, Damien realizes, turns him on.
Are these just fantasies? Find out in Kenny Wright and Max Sebastian’s latest book, The Wife I Didn’t Know.
Right now, it’s just available on Amazon and Smashwords, but we’ll publish on all the other book platforms once I get a few things in order.
I have other books in the works, including another collaboration (this one with Ben Boswell), and a guest spot on Kirsten McCurran’s upcoming book (a spiritual successor to Annie’s Affair, if you will). Lots of fun to be had, but let’s start with The Wife I Didn’t Know.
I published book four of Bull’s Eye on May 4, 2020. I just published the final book last night, November 26, 2020. For those counting, that’s 204 days between the books. This is exactly what I was worried about when I started publishing the series before I’d finished the ending, but I was honestly hoping the pressure of publication would help me write faster. Ha!
As I wrote in my last post, endings are hard. They’re even harder when I’m trying to end a longer series like this with a cast of characters who I’ve grown with. Anyone who’s read a few of my books (or followed this blog) knows that I’m a romantic at heart, and as unconventional as this story may be for most of my readers, at its core, this is a romance. And romances live and die by their endings.
Without spoiling anything, I should clarify one thing. This is an ending, not the final ending. Not all loose ends are tied up. Not all story lines have the most satisfying of conclusions. Life is messy that way, even in this fictional world. But it’s the ending for now. What happens next is in the minds of you, the reader (and, I suppose, my muse and whether inspiration strikes next).
Enjoy, everyone, and I hope you had a wonderful day of thanks, wherever you’re from.
(Bull’s Eye 5 is available now on Smashwords, and should hit Amazon later today.)
I never thought that I’d have anything in common with Jerry Falwell Jr., and then news hit that he (most likely) enjoys watching his wife sleep with other men. That news has also cast the fantasy into the mainstream spotlight, and while my life is mostly filled up with other noise (kids back in virtual school, still living a life mostly quarantined at home while trying to keep a business afloat in a world where companies aren’t buying things like they used to), one article from the Washington Post did catch my attention: “Why conservative men are more likely to fantasize about sharing their wives”.
Kirsten McCurran sent it to me, and after I got past the shock of thinking she was calling me a conservative, I actually read it, and it resonated with a lot of things that I’ve been thinking about lately. The gist of the article is that we want what we’re told we can’t/shouldn’t want. We’re drawn to taboo. As the article references, the “erotica equation” is:
Attraction + Obstacles = Excitement
As an erotica author in this woke era, there’s a lot to tackle, and there’s this precariously line to walk between our dirty fantasies and promoting harmful mindsets. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the #metoo movement and how the words I write could potentially contribute to that harmful perspective. Similarly, Black Lives Matter, which I support, has me considering the crassness of some interracial themes and tropes that are often featured in hotwife erotica. Is Mason Coles reinforcing racial stereotypes, for example? What about Heather Kingsley-Fletcher/Manhattan and her wild past?
I’d like to use this internal debate as a reason for the slowdown in my writing. Maybe it has something to do with it, who knows, but it’s largely just all those other things that are going on in my life. In the end, this is what I tell myself: I try to write characters that feel real and complex, and just as I struggle with these things and how to be a good person, so do my characters.
We are drawn to what we shouldn’t want. I am. You are, as readers. My characters are, too, and that erotica equation is at the heart of what drives a good story. Hopefully, in that process, it’s not a harmful one.
Many years back, I remember working with a beta reader who accused me of writing “winger” stories rather than hotwife stories. At the time, it was meant to be a disparagement. I wasn’t staying in my lane. I wasn’t hitting the beats that a “true” hotwife author hit. As many long-time readers know, I write these stories for myself first, exploring my own fantasies and turn-ons, so I never took the criticisms to heart and changed my ways.
Now, though, as I put out Bull’s Eye and its significantly more genre-bending/challenging story arc, it occurs to me that maybe the “winger” label is worth exploring a bit more—that maybe I’m not alone in enjoying the hybrid. So I put together a quick article here.
Not a great name (but hey, I didn’t exactly pick it), but essentially it’s the intersection of “hotwife” fiction and “swinger” fiction. The way I’ve been writing it, at its heart, the action is driven by a husband’s desire to watch his wife with other men (aka “hotwife”) but along the way, he’s not a mere bystander in the action.
There may be another couple involved in the scene that he gets to play with. There may be a hot friend. Hell, the book may actually be mostly a group sex/swinger book with serious wife-watching elements. The key, though, is that it’s not your typical wife-sleeps-with-other-men-the-end story.
I’ve got a few of my own, of course. More than a few, actually, and I probably missed some on that list. The quintessential ones are probably books like All In or Cool With Her. At their heart, these are swinger stories, where couples get together and wild things happen. Ben Boswell’s Summer Swing is another good example of these approach (and I highly recommended read). Max Sebastian’s Anarchy of the Heart (coincidentally the book that turned me onto his work) is another example.
But the winger-themes do thread through many of my other books. Ben and I wrote the Parallel Lines books, which are explicitly about the husband and wife taking on different lovers. Book three of Training to Love It hits on aspects of a more open lifestyle, and Max Callahan, from the Forbidden series, was never a full-on hotwife husband.
My fantasies tend to fall on the “hotwife” end of the hotwife-cuckold spectrum. I’m drawn less to the humiliation and the power games, and more towards the shared experience that can come from a husband watching his wife do naughty things. There’s room in there for more than just the one-sided fun.
Also, I think that when the husband gets in on the action, it’s easier to write a more balanced relationship. I realize that this is the deep fear of a woman when her husband admits to having a hotwife fantasy—”you just want me to sleep with other men so you can sleep with other women”—but I don’t think that winger stories are quite so transactional. The husband still desires, above all else, to watch his wife. But if things get crazy, he can get crazy, too.
So that’s “winger” fiction. Terrible name, but it does have a place. How about you all? Read any good books that would fit this hybrid genre? Let me know in the comments below!
I’ve been impressed with the work of Sydney Sitravon since I read his first published book, The Anklet, three years ago. It was the first in a trilogy of books called the Katelyn’s Stranger Series.
After exchanging some emails, I learned that he was very much a kindred spirit of mine. Not only did he start writing stories that he wanted to read because he couldn’t find many written by others, but he also shares so many of the same ideals as me: mutual fantasies, the importance of relationship, realistic characters that can have their cake and eat it too. Most importantly, though, he is a strong writer who actually has a wife-watching fantasy.
Over the last three years, while his catalog isn’t extensive, they’ve each improved on one another. His latest, Snow Day Fun, was just released last month, is fantastic. If you enjoy my books, definitely check Sitravon (and encourage him to write more!). We’ll be keeping tabs on his latest over at hotwifebooks.com.
The second volume of Best Hotwife Erotica is available, exclusively on Amazon, for just 0.99 (or free if you’ve got a Kindle Unlimited account). Five great authors, five sexy Halloween-themed short stories, this deal is scary good (sorry, couldn’t resist). This time around, a few…
The authors over at hotwifebooks.com have been busy working on a set of short stories to get you ready for summer. All are classic hotwife tales in their own way, from Ben Boswell’s story of a wife’s old flame to Kirsten McCurran’s Vegas adventure. I ended up writing a short adventure about the sexy, Finish blonde from Unconventional, Linnea Sorenson. Check it out, especially if you’re a fan of that character (I know I am).
Oh, and best of all, the whole thing is only .99 on Amazon (and free to those with Kindle Unlimited).
So what are you doing? Go grab it now!
Okay, so I made up the concept of #newauthornovember (but it comes with a hashtag!), but with the influx of (really bad) erotica hitting the Amazon market, it’s not a bad time to introduce the idea. There’s just so much out there, and so much…
