(from back cover)

Slow Hand: Women Writing Erotica is an exciting anthology of new erotic stories by women, for women. In a world where men still expect to make the first move, this collection of nineteen tantalizing stories gives women their chance to have the last word.

Slow Hand is a book for those who boldly wish to explore the territory of passion. But most of all it is for those readers who know full well that erotic writing by women is like no other: in art as in life, timing is everything.

Michele Slung writes in her introduction: "My main hope is that readers new to the audacious genre of women's erotica-readers both female and male-who pick up Slow Hand out of curiosity will enjoy and appreciate the sensual/sexual explorations they encounter here. All responses are legitimate, backgrounds and naturs differeing as they do, yet I can't help but hope that the book I've assembled will turn out to be the best kind of seducer...[I]n its compelling rhythm and its surprises, Slow Hand exists to reflect the needs and desires of its audiences."
