A lot's been happening this month, and you'll hear all about it once I've unpacked my suitcase and settled back into my writing, but I just wanted to announce that my story "Spring Pictures" is up at Clean Sheets this week. Set in Japan, this story celebrates my fascination with erotic woodblock prints and illicit getaways to elegant Japanese inns. The print you see here, by Suzuki Harunobu, was another inspiration for the piece. So, if you're in the mood for a little time-travel combined with art appreciation, grab a cup of green tea and get between the Sheets!

ha..you dont have to invite me twice because i love these prints too...my grandma has a small one..of a woman in the woods washing her hair and i always loved to look at it for hours when i was a kid ...
Oh, Donna, that was sumptuous. Gorgeous!
Yes, yes! I loved the dynamics and pacing and beautifully orchestrated fulfillment.
Thank you so much, Danielle, Jo and Jeremy. So glad you enjoyed it--it's definitely an indulgence in Japan nostalgia for me, and in spite of the spring theme, fall is one of the most beautiful times there, so it felt right to mess with the seasons :-).
Beautiful, Donna.
