Two Sides of Terri (18 page)

And now, when I see her on the floor, playing with the kids, I realize that what I’m seeing is just a part of her, that there are layers beneath the surface, some of which I probably have yet to discover. And knowing that, somehow, makes me happy.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I have been writing erotic fiction for myself for many years. A few years ago, I began publishing on Literotica.com, under the name misterstan. Most of my stories appear in the “Loving Wives” category, which has become a virtual cesspool of negativity. For every good comment I’ve received, I’ve also received five negative ones. And yet, the positive comments have just been a delight and more than anything are what have kept me writing and publishing. Over the years, I’ve received wonderful support, both in the comments and through email from dozens of fans. They’ve encouraged me and their often constructive criticism has pushed me to write richer characters and most interesting stories. So, to all of you who’ve ever sent me a positive note, thank you, and I hope you will continue to enjoy my writing in this new format.

My biggest thanks, however, go to Kenny Wright. He’s a wonderful author in his own right. You can find his work at www.kennywriter.com. He reached out to me through Literotica. He encouraged me to try my hand at longer-form fiction, and he’s been instrumental in helping me polish this story. His suggestions, both substantive and editorial, have been superb. And he’s helped me begin to understand the process of online publishing. Quite literally, this book would not be in your hands were it not for his encouragement and advice. So, Kenny, thank you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I am longtime reader and author of erotic fiction. I’ve been publishing short stories on the free website, Literotica.com, under the name misterstan for the past several years. This is my first, but hopefully not my last, venture into longer-form fiction writing.

I write in genres that I find exciting and arousing. Most of my stories are in the slut wife, wife-watching genre, though occasionally I venture into other subject matter.
