KA Ryde is a writer of erotic sapphic stories with a fierce focus on realism and all the blush-inducing, heart-palpitating truth that this captures. Recognising that the best and most exciting moments of your life are when the sex is just a touch awkward, just a smidge uncertain, when the hands undoing the buttons are trembling and the lips don’t yet quite know how to dance together. They have written their first anthology of fourteen short stories which is now available online with a focus on this wholesome reality. The primary features of their work are kink (particularly spanking) as well as amateur and first-time sapphic experiences.
