Review
Hanne is a must for the well-read polymorphously perverse I`ve loved her work from the very first essay I read she`s saucy, sexy and, most important, intelligent and thought-provoking (Anything That Moves Magazine)

Description
Best Transgender Erotica brings together twenty stories by writers of every gender. The first book to celebrate exclusively gender-bending, -crossing, and -breaking sexuality through erotic fiction, Best Transgender Erotica includes representations of many forms of `trans` identity. Whether blurring the line between masculine and feminine, or making the transition from female to male, or vice versa, these characters (and authors) had to put on their sexiest, most alluring, heart-racing show in order to make the cut.Including selections from Thomas Roche, Saachi Green, Todd Belton, Simon Sheppard, M. Christian, and many more of today`s best-known erotica writers, Best Transgender Erotica follows on the smashing success of Best Bisexual Erotica, which was released in 2000. Like `Best Bi,` `Best Trans` drew its contributors from within the gender activist community, providing a unique and stimulating look at gender issues from an erotic perspective.Contributors: Todd Belton, Saachi Green, S.
