StoriesShort stories present a special challenge: bringing the characters to life and touching the reader’s heart, in just a few words. I've published stories in Canadian literary journals, the American Woman’s World, England’s Woman’s Weekly, Scotland’s The People’s Friend and Australia’s Woman’s Day. My short stories are a change of pace from my sexy novels. They’re sweet romance and women’s fiction. It’s fun to write both “sweet shorts” and “sexy longs”. Check out my interview with Patti Fischer at Romance Reviews Today and see my comments on this. Erotique
I’m delighted to have sold three erotic romances to Harlequin’s e-published Spice Briefs. At the exclusive sex club, Erotique, three women find the erotic adventures they’re seeking – and much more! 
Normally Carrie is a very responsible person...but she still likes to walk the line every now and then. That's when she visits Erotique, a private club where members don costumes and use false names to explore their secret fantasies. For Carrie, it's a chance for the suburban mom to feel like a sex goddess--especially when a certain masked man is waiting for her....! 
Jillian had been careful not to combine her personal and professional lives...even if that meant turning down a date with her sexy colleague Sandro Rodriguez. Still, she was in the mood for some fun and couldn't resist a guest-pass to the private sex club Erotique from her boss, Carrie. Jillian hoped to relieve her cravings with a hot guy who understood how to tease and arouse her—but she never expected that man to be Sandro! And he was determined to show her just how fun mixing business with pleasure could be.... 
The best inspiration for Alex Blake's erotic novels used to be her forbidden – and unfulfilled – lust for Lincoln Wolf. But years later Lincoln, and her muse, are long gone. To rekindle her imagination, Alex takes up an invitation to visit Erotique, a private sex club that guarantees anonymity...and a chance to act out one of Alex's most ravishing desires. While Alex expects one fantasy, Erotique has another surprise for her: satisfying her ultimate fantasy of a night of passion with Lincoln himself....

I was delighted to be asked by Freya’s Bower to contribute to each of these charity anthologies. The net proceeds from each go to battered women’s shelters. Each volume contains terrific stories by great authors who have donated their work. The stories range from sweet to sizzling.

I've had two stories published in New Love Stories Magazine. "Valentine Anniversary" is in the premiere Jan/Feb 2009 issue and "Jasmine" is in the July/August 2009 issue. Both are sweet, emotional love stories. For subscription and submission information, visit the magazine's website.
Calendar Stories from The Wild Rose Press
“Some people say a certain time of year ‘is their favourite’ but Susan Lyons makes every time of year special in this wonderful and charming collections of stories. ... When you put this book down, it will be with a sigh of gratitude for meeting such wonderful characters, and a tinge of disappointment their stories ended so soon.”
—Fennel, Long & Short Reviews Read the full review
In 2007, I wrote twelve “calendar stories” for The Wild Rose Press, one for each month of the year, set around a holiday or special event that takes place during that month. The stories were published individually and then collected in an anthology, Calendar of Love.
I’m sorry, but both the anthology and the individual stories are now out of print – though you can still find a few copies kicking around on the internet.
