M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy — there's nothing they can't write about ... and brilliantly. — Tristan Taormino

Calling M.Christian versatile is a tremendous understatement. Extensively published in science fiction, fantasy, horror, thrillers, and even nonfiction, it is in erotica that M.Christian has become an acknowledged master, with stories in such anthologies as Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, Best Bisexual Erotica, Best Fetish Erotica, and in fact too many anthologies, magazines, and sites to name.
M.Christian's short fiction has been collected in many bestselling books in a wide variety of genres, including the Lambda Award finalist Dirty Words and other queer collections like Filthy Boys and BodyWork. They have also published collections of nonfiction (Welcome to Weirdsville, Pornotopia, and How to Write and Sell Erotica); science fiction, fantasy, and horror (Love Without Gun Control); and erotic science fiction including Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than the Real Thing, the acclaimed The Bachelor Machine, Skin Effect, and Hard Drive. As a novelist, M.Christian has shown his monumental versatility with books such as the queer vamp novels Running Dry and The Very Bloody Marys; the erotic romance Brushes; the science fiction erotic novel Painted Doll; and the rather controversial gay horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth and Me2. But M.Christian has other tricks up their literary sleeve: in addition to writing, he is a prolific and respected anthologist, having edited 25 anthologies to date including the Best S/M Erotica series; Pirate Booty; My Love For All That Is Bizarre: Sherlock Holmes Erotica; The Burning Pen; The Mammoth Book of Future Cops, and The Mammoth Book of Tales of the Road (with Maxim Jakubowski); Confessions, Garden of Perverse, and Amazons (with Sage Vivant), and many more. M.Christian has also become a celebrated sexual futurist, both through his novels and short stories as well as being a Senior Columnist for Future Of Sex, which provides "insights into the fascinating topic of the future of human sex and sexuality." |

M. Christian speaks with a totally unique and truly fascinating voice. There are a lot of writers out there who'd better protect their markets: M.Christian has arrived!
- Mike Resnick, Hugos and a Nebula award winning author
M.Christian's stories squat at the intersection of Primal Urges Avenue and Hi-Tech Parkway like a feral-eyed, half-naked Karen Black leering and stabbing her fractal machete into the tarmac. Portraying a world where erotic life has spilled from the bedroom into the street, and been shattered into a million sharp shards, these tales undercut and mutate the old verities concerning memory, desire and loyalty.
- Paul Di Filippo, author of over 100 stories and five novels.
M.Christian's erotic stories are always surprising, satisfying and imaginative. The variety of their sexual scenarios is awesome, yet there's an element to each that always rings authentic and true.
- Marilyn Jaye Lewis, author of Neptune & Surf
M.Christian's writing sizzles with their unique mix of wild imagination and kinkiness galore. These stories are by turns tender, sensual, haunting and downright dirty, and are filled with bold and sassy women whose desires know no bounds! This is a stunning collection of queer erotica that will keep you aroused from start to finish.
- Rachel Kramer Bussel, co-author of the Erotic Writer's Market Guide
M.Christian is one of the most powerful voices in today's erotica. With a voice that ranges from edgy to lyrical, from heart stopping to heart pounding, M.Christian is an amazing talent. Truly, one of the most important erotic writers we have. Speaking Parts is one of M. Christian's finest works to date.
- Cara Bruce, editor of Best Bisexual Women's Erotica
M.Christian is one of the finest living writers of erotica. Between these covers is a wealth of imaginative, well-crafted, smoothly written fiction that sings with joy and savvy queer sensibility. It's yummy.
- Patrick Califia-Rice, author of Macho Sluts, Melting Point, Doc and Fluff, and No Mercy.
When I pick up a book by M.Christian, I know that I'll be surprised and delighted. Whether they're targeting horror, thriller, scifi or erotica genres, or some creative mixture, they never fail to deliver an original perspective.
- Lisabet Sarai, author of Incognito and Fire
Fantasist, futurist, eroticist, satirist, humorist, dentist drilling deep into the nerves of the here and now.
- Brian Hodge, author of Mad Dogs and Lies & Ugliness
M.Christian is one hell of a writer. They paint their universes and characters in full, living color, thrills the reader with non-stop action. A no-holds-barred storyteller, they embrace readers at the start and doesn't let go until long after the end.
- Mari Adkins, Apex Publications contributing editor
M.Christian is a chimera, an amazing combination of tour guide and magician. Whether they're writing science fiction, horror or erotica, they take you to places you've never imagined, show you sights no-one else will get to see, introduce you to some fascinating people, and guarantee that the trip will be memorable from start to finish. Buy a ticket and fasten your seat belt: you're in for a wild ride!
- Stephen Dedman, the author of The Art of Arrow Cutting, and Shadows Bite
M.Christian always writes like dream whether they're creating fantastic visions or ghastly nightmares.
- Paula Guran, DarkEcho
M.Christian is the chameleon of modern erotica. One day punk, another romantic; one day straight, another totally perverse and polyamorous. But always sexy and and gripping.
- Maxim Jakubowksi, editor of the Mammoth Book of Erotica series
M.Christian is a writer who takes you for a long walk down a dark wet street at midnight. You can't get much more edgy and still be legal. Their fiction never disappoints.
- Nancy Kilpatrick, author of The Power of the Blood series and In the Shadow of the Gargoyle
M.Christian is today's premiere erotic shapeshifter, with too many stories to tell to be fenced in by only one gender or identity. Reading these tales is like climbing on for a sexual magic carpet ride through different times and places, diverse bodies, and infinite possibilities.
- Carol Queen, author of The Leatherdaddy & the Femme
M.Christian is constantly expanding their game, giving us stories which joyfully play with genre while remaining as literate, complex and human as any mainstream work. They're far more than an erotica, SF or horror writer; each new book bearing their name should be anticipated, acquired and savored by those who love good fiction.
- Jason Rubis, author of Strangely Made
In M.Christian's hands, the short story is alive and well, as well as sexy and smart, witty and surprising, provocative and always more than you bargained for.
- Felice Picano, Lambda Award winning author
The work of M.Christian is extraordinary not only in its quality and originality, but also in its versatility. This is a writer who goes beyond the mere challenges of writing convincingly from different genders and orientations and psychologies and walks of life, in different settings, subgenres, moods, and tones; this is a master of the craft who can thoroughly reinvent himself, as a voice, every time he picks up the pen - always with glorious results.
- Jeremy Edwards, author of Rock My Socks Off
M.Christian sends the reader hurtling like a hockey puck through a world of crime, out-of-control passions, mutilation, and madness. Terms like noir and hardboiled don't quite fit -- this is more like ultraviolet, the invisible light that makes the scorpions glow in the dark.
- Ernest Hogan, author of High Aztech
I’d use words like “talented” and “gifted”, I know they don't believe in that kind of stuff, but hell, who cares what M.Christian thinks? I’m going to use them anyway.
- Billierosie, author of Fetish Worship
Rarely is raunch paired with such style and wit. From a look at sex after death to the nature of the Great Cosmic Fuck, from yearnings of the heart to stirrings further down, M.Christian's stories offer the sizzle of strokebook sex combined with the dark lyricism of the perverse.
- Lucy Taylor, Bram Stoker award-winning author of Safety of Unknown Cities
The first time I read a story by M.Christian it was just an innocent-looking submission to an erotica anthology I was editing. It blew my socks off. In fact, it blew all of my clothes off, and I ended up in bed. How can one writer be so smart, stylish and seductive? I don't know, but when I read an M.Christian story now, I find it best to just get naked and get directly into bed."
