Hoot Island is the home turf of silly erotica writer Chris Bridges. I've been committing funny erotica -- one of the toughest genres around, especially when you consider the price of bicycle horns these days -- for over ten years. I've been published at most every respectable erotica website, often costing their "respectable" label in the process.
I've also appeared in an otherwise mostly serious erotica book or two:
You can find more of my stuff at hootisland.com, and you really should.
"I couldn't find a sentence in the book that wasn't fun to read. I'm offering my sympathy. Poor bastard, you're doomed to be a humorist. Like at least one regular resident of my own pants."
--Spider Robinson, Callahan's Lady, Variable Star
"Run... do not walk ... to your bookstore and buy Chris's book Giggling Into the Pillow."
--Reed Waller, creator of Omaha the Cat Dancer
"Giggling Into the Pillow is... not only a particularly funny collection of stories, parodies, and articles about sex but is also the most honest erotica I've read."
--Jason Toney, ScarletLetters.com
"An excellent book which will allow you to use the phrase 'Rabelaisian wit' in casual conversation."
--Phil Foglio, xXxenophile, Girl Genius
"It's more like what you'd get if Mad magazine was published by a nudist colony headed by Mel Brooks."
--Debra Hyde, PursedLips.com
"Chris Bridges is the funniest person I know."
--Jane Duvall, Jane's Guide
"Finally--a book about sex that's funny on purpose. Chris Bridges's twisted take on erotica, sex surveys, and sexual self-help is a hoot!"
-- Cathy Winks, co-author of The New Good Vibrations Guide to Sex
"There's just one word for Chris Bridges's work: brilliant … no, 'fantastic' is better… well, not that either, how about 'incredible' … not quite there, how about 'genius' … no, not quite enough … what about 'delicious?' … nah, too fattening … Wonderful? Great? Elegant? Beautiful? Just read the book and see how erotic writing should be done and pick your own word."
-- M. Christian, author of Speaking Parts: Provocative Lesbian Erotica
"Don't let any of your right-wing acquaintances see this book: they might get the idea that sex is supposed to be fun, and God only knows what would happen then."
--Hanne Blank, author of Unruly Appetites and Shameless: Women's Best Erotica
"As strange as the tales are, they're closer to reality than standard erotic fare. I'll take Chris's reality any day."
