			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like a chef earning a Michelin star, I am so very excited that this podcast has been short listed for a Parsec Award in the category of Best Anthology. To be short listed along with Rick Stringer, Norm Sherman, Mur Lafferty and Rick Stringer is an honest honour.</p>
<p>Yet every day I am reminded how strange the world is. Something I started as an experiment to help me learn and grow as a writer, has turned into something else. Something that is written in the fabric of my regular writing life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to thank those who nominated the show, the guest chefs who have participated, and the faithful listeners who keep us all ticking along. You keep sitting down to eat what we prepare, and we&#8217;ll keep busy in the kitchen.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been looking for new ways to bring you content and have been working with the folks at Wizard over the last month.</p>
<p>So I can now tell you that Erotica a la Carte the iphone/ipad app is now available. This means you won&#8217;t miss an episode and you&#8217;ll be able to access exclusive content. This could be pdfs of the stories, blooper reels and wallpapers. No one else will be getting these.</p>
<p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/erotica-a-la-carte/id374508866?mt=8">You can find the app here</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your support- you are what keeps the kitchen running.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Erotica a la carte was always meant to be an experiment- a way for the chef to learn how to cook something saucy. Since we opened the doors at the cafe of naughtiness, I&#8217;ve discovered how truly challenging and fun it is. We made the short list for the Parsecs and our diners have expressed their enjoyment time and time again. (I know of one who goes to sleep listening to our tales&#8211; must make for interesting dreams!)</p>
<p>When I first got guest chefs involved it was a nifty way for me not to get burned out on preparing spicy offerings&#8211;too be able to take a breather and keep the doors open. That too has changed. I am excited and impressed and happy to have people in the kitchen. As with many things, sharing has only improved the experience for me.</p>
<p>So this news from J Daniel Sawyer made me as pleased as punch. I couldn&#8217;t stop grinning, and I just had to share this with you, our fine diners.</p>
<p>You are bound to recall Dan&#8217;s sexy, dark and beautiful story <em>Buried Alive in the Blues</em>- hard to forget with its gritty look at a woman with nothing to lose at the end of the world, and what she finds there. Well, Dan recently announced he has sold this wonderful tale to Circlet Press for their upcoming anthology <em>Apocalypse Sex</em>.</p>
<p>All the work and achievement is Dan&#8217;s, but the chef is very proud that <em>Buried Alive in the Blues</em> was first heard in this kitchen. Congratulations Dan- it&#8217;s a beautiful story, and deserving of as much exposure as possible.</p>
<p>We have a full list of new chefs coming to the kitchen and I just know you are going to love what they bring to the table.</p>

<p><strong>To all the saucy listeners out there; thank you so much for your support, comments and ears this year. 2010 is going to be quite an adventure- and we have a delicous platter of fine writers coming up for the first half the year. I will also be collating past stories for both a high quality CD version and a print version.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But for now, have a Merry Christmas and I will see you in the New Year. May you find one you love and share the joy of intimacy with them over the holidays.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Love</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your Chef</strong></p>

		<itunes:summary>A special dish from the Chef- a tale of space travel, sex and love. A lonely pilot comes back from the dark to find not all presents under the tree have ribbons on them.

Music supplied by the delightful and talented Starla Huchton of the Dreamer's Thread novel. Go support her.







To all the saucy listeners out there; thank you so much for your support, comments and ears this year. 2010 is going to be quite an adventure- and we have a delicous platter of fine writers coming up for the first half the year. I will also be collating past stories for both a high quality CD version and a print version.

But for now, have a Merry Christmas and I will see you in the New Year. May you find one you love and share the joy of intimacy with them over the holidays.

Love

Your Chef

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please bear with the staff at Erotica a la Carte (Ok, that is just me) but the cafe will be shut for the month of November. The plates got a little piled up, one or two glasses might have been broken, and there maybe a mess to clean up on the floor.<br />
However to make up for this, December will be not just one, but two new dishes. The short story based on the image you all selected from the menu, called Behold the Gatekeeper, as well as a juicy morsel for Christmas. This will be a chef&#8217;s special.<br />
So again, apologies for the mess, but there will be plenty to enjoy next month! And keep your ears peeled for the next round of guest chefs- starting with the Saucy Chris Lester of Metamor City. He will be presenting Supernatural/Lonely corner of earth/Dominance and submission to start the New Year off right.</p>
<p>I never expected the EalC cafe to be so popular. It&#8217;s been going a year, and no sign of stopping. I have ideas for a print version where we can  raise some money for prostate cancer and breast cancer. That will be one task for the chef in 2010. Thanks for hanging in there, and supporting these fun stories from the edge of speculative fiction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well yesterday was interesting- EalC popped into the top 100 literature in itunes. I was surprised. I was pleased. And THEN itunes sent me an email from itunesabuse@apple.com. Apparently someone complained, and that was the end EalC could no longer appear on the directory. Too filthy for itunes. No explanation. No chance to ask why.</p>
<p>Every author dreams of this day- I am now among luminaries as Rowling, Steinbeck and Judy Blume. And while I am annoyed and bent out of shape that apparently the directory that 70% of all podcast listeners use is censoring what is puts out, you can still fight the power.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how you can still use itunes to get your EalC. Make sure in itunes you are in the podcast tab. Then click in the toolbar on Advanced, click on subscribe to podcast and then paste in this url</p>
<p><strong>http://feeds.feedburner.com/EroticaALaCarte</strong></p>
<p>And if you have a podcast post one of the fabulous promos in your show. I appreciate everyone&#8217;s support and kind comments. And remember above all sex is dangerous and filthy- where as violence is so much better for you! =p</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;and here&#8217;s the big reveal how I am going to conduct this little experiment. Every month there will be a poll, I&#8217;ll be asking you to chose from a selection of items off the menu. Like a good writer/cook I will take the ingredients and produce a short story with what you decide on. So the first recipe choices will be online shortly. You have one month to vote (or in this case until I get back from my trip to the States) I will write the story when I get back, produce the podcast and post it at the end of September, as well as the poll for the next month&#8217;s. We&#8217;ll see how this goes. It is an experiment to get my creative wheels in motion.</p>
<p>So subscribe to the blog and prepare for sensual stories from the South Pacific. </p>
