Marilyn Jaye Lewis is currently co-editor of The Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography (Robinson-Constable UK; Carroll & Graf USA). She was most recently president of EroticBookSociety.com, the largest online bookstore dedicated to promoting books, periodicals, videos, and collectibles on all aspects of sexuality from around the globe. She designed their monthly Erotic Arts & Literature Forum, where she was editor-in-chief until March, 2000.
Her first full-length book, Neptune & Surf, a collection of erotic novellas published by Masquerade Books in 1999, was called "a sensational debut" by London's popular newspaper, The Guardian. The French language translation of Neptune & Surf will be published in fall 2000 by Editions Blanche, Paris. Her short stories have been widely anthologized, many of the anthologies appearing as featured selections in Doubleday's Venus Book Club.
In 1997, as head writer for RomAntics, Inc., Marilyn helped create the first bisexual CD Rom game, the award-winning Dadahouse, featured on HBO and selected by AVN as Best Adult CD Rom 1997. Her explicit original bisexual stories posted weekly on the Dadahouse web site were called "...kinkily engaging..." by Entertainment Weekly and selected by them as Best Soap on the Web 1997.
Her award-winning web site, Other-rooms.com, was the first non-commercial erotica site to be entered into Playboy's Online Hall of Fame (Summer 1998).
Also in 1998, as president of Marilyn's Room, Inc., she sponsored and/or produced live video and audio webcasts in conjunction with Broadcast.com and Pseudo.com, and was executive producer on dozens of erotic spoken word recordings for other erotica authors and poets.
She has been interviewed on international television, radio, and internet radio, and her views on the current climate for erotica in America have been sought by reporters from such prestigious venues as The New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle.
Marilyn Jaye Lewis lives and writes in New York City.
