Author Spotlight: Coming Together with Pride
June 30, 2008 by Melissa
One of the things I love about the Coming Together books is that they always feature stories that are related in some way to the charity for that book. The newest book out now is Coming Together with Pride and the proceeds from the book are going to AVERT which is a fantastic charity that deals with the devastation of AIDS.
You can find out all about the Coming Together books at their website, along with future books that Alessia is working on for the series.

Coming Together: With Pride is the 8th multi-author anthology of erotic fiction in the philanthropic Coming Together series. It is about giving and about sex and about celebrating the diversity of desire. It is simultaneously naughty and wholesome, tender and taboo, raw and refined. In these pages, you can fulfill your wildest fantasies, indulge your primal nature, and embrace a variety of lifestyles. The most delicious part is that you can do it all while helping to heal the devastation of HIV and AIDS. Coming Together is erotic altruism at its finest.
Reviews:
Being Yourself. Acknowledging your desires. Dealing with the loss of a loved one. Releasing pent up frustrations. Excepting what you cannot change. Experiencing the joys of Sex. These were just some of the themes of the eighteen stories that made up the eighth volume of the Coming Together Collection. All the proceeds from the sale of Coming Together – With Pride will be donated to AVERT (avert.org) to help fund HIV/AIDS research and prevention.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Coming Together – With Pride. This collection of stories and poems took me on an emotional roller coaster- joy, pain, arousal, laughter, enlightenment, love, disgust, passion, and submission. Every story was an eye-opener.
These stories were perfect in the way that they complimented each other and fit together in harmony. I highly recommend this book not just because all the proceeds go towards a greatly needed cause but because it was a beautiful collection of stories that I felt came straight from each author’s soul.
