Coming Soon

Dress to Impress. This is a solo m/m novella that I have written for Torquere Press' Games People Play line. It explores role play. Matt is just looking for a good time, but finds himself snared in Eric's web of playful deception and sexual role play. Eric's broken many a man's heart with his games. Will Matt's be one of them? From a Dom and sub to an exerienced man and a younger virgin and everything in between, these two men try it all, and learn more about themselves and each other through play than would have be possible any other way.

Dress to Impress will be available in March from Torquere Press.

Latest Review

Cheryl says:

Jodi Payne's "Whence He Came" is a story with an emotional punch. It's a wonderful story of thanksgiving, not of the turkey variety, but of the coming home variety, of finding what you've lost and being thankful for getting it back. There's a feeling of nostalgia as the main character, Elliot, returns home. He describes how things have changed: the buildings, main street, the people; and how many things have stayed the same: his childhood bedroom, his parents, his favorite diner ... his love for Tony.

Jodi knows how to deliver a heartwarming story of love and hope. Definitely a recommended read. Enjoy!

Fun Stuff

• Author Rec: This month I'm sending you to visit Jennifer Finney Boylan. I have been thinking about writing a transgender erotic romance novel for a while now and while I was researching, I finally bought a copy of She's Not There, which I had, of course, seen everywhere and been interested in, but had never actually bought. It's a truly wonderful and moving read.
