<![CDATA[Funny and Frisky (Mostly Senior) Erotica - |Blog|]]>Fri, 03 May 2024 06:06:34 -0700Weebly<![CDATA[Thanks Chuck!]]>Thu, 12 Feb 2015 00:59:00 GMThttp://tillyandelmer.com/blog/thanks-chuckMy friend Chuck posted a review of Coming of Age in South Branch on Amazon. His writing is so erudite that I had to re-post it here. True, I did promise him an after-dinner mint if he would write a review (as long as he paid for dinner), but the review is more scholarly and flattering than necessary, for which I'm grateful. Also, Chuck's review is filled with an amazing allotment of alliteration, always an admirable accomplishment!

Plain-spoken romance from the American Heartland elucidates both the coming of age and the coming of the aged! October 15, 2014
Mr. Clements' prose deftly describes the specific predicaments of both delirious adolescence and delicious contentment of seasoned lovers, and does it without either the prurience of porn or the pretension of the steroidal prose of the writers' workshops. His eye for detail renders simple realities of lust and love in his soft-edged pictures expressing his characters' passionate anticipations, their fumbling initiations, their persistent tender tutoring of one another in the arts of, ultimately, simply and honestly caring for one another. This has, I admit, deep appeal for me since I am also a child of the Midwest with a youthful detour to a Bay Area in its flower-child Haight-Ashbury full bloom. These illustrated stories are persuasive evidence that, yes, there is indeed a beating heart and a deep soul in our vast flyover states, and that those of us who came up through the springs and summers of love have learned lessons, whether we returned back home again or not. Tilly and Elmer live lustily without embarrassment or shame. They are indeed worthy role models for our grandchildren's navigating the rites of passage as well as for those of us in bodies no longer toned and flexible for whom sex is still a joy and a treasure.]]><![CDATA[Feministerotca Blog]]>Sat, 20 Sep 2014 00:42:45 GMThttp://tillyandelmer.com/blog/feministerotca-blogI've just read a sweet and generous review of "Falling for a Kiss" from Naoko Smith, a funny and insightful reviewer of erotic stories. Since she likes Tilly and Elmer, I might even assert that she's brilliant! You can connect with her blog here: http://feministerotica.blogspot.co.uk
I've read several of the stories she's reviewed favorably and I think Tilly and Elmer fans will find her a good source of ideas for stories you may like. The stories Naoko chooses to review conform to the theme of "safe sex", which, of course, can include all kinds of thrilling and acrobatic activities that Tilly and Elmer never thought of, even when they were athletic enough to try them.
As if liking Tilly and Elmer weren't enough evidence of her advanced intellect, Naoko is also an expert in the appreciation of single malt Scotch - a true Renaissance Feminist! Check out her blog!

"Gold Star" Editions
The Tilly and Elmer stories are available at Amazon (search the Kindle Store), at Apple's iBooks Store, and at e-book stores at Barnes and Noble, Sony, and others. They are also available, in any format you like, for reading on a computer or e-reader at "Smashwords" which acts as the publisher for these retailers. After uploading "Tilly and Elmer Get Crazy",  I received the following note from "Smashwords". 

"Some of our retailers are super-sensitive to nudity (even illustrated nudity). Per the Smashwords TOS, we don't allow floppy bits, nipples, nudity, butt cracks or graphic sexual content on cover images or inside material. Please upload a new or altered image at Dashboard > Settings > Upload New Cover.

Thanks." 

Apparently, they were worried about the drawing of Tilly's bare nipple on the cover. My first thought was "Cool, I wrote something too dirty for the internet!" My second thought was "What?". I decided to respond by creating a "Gold Star Edition", in which any bits that could be considered naughty, and some that couldn't be, are covered by gold stars, as was done in the 1950's. For now Tilly and Elmer are available, uncensored, at Amazon, and censored at Smashwords and their retailers.
