Local writer Jim McDonough, who has had nearly 70 of his erotic stories published, has just added another anthology to his credits. McDonough’s story, “Act of Contrition,” appears in “Friction 7: Best Gay Erotica,” the latest edition of the popular series. “Act of Contrition” concerns a man’s steamy encounter with a priest inside a confessional. Although “Act of Contrition” appeared in last year’s anthology “Saint & Sinners,” McDonough, who is also the president of the writers’ organization Lavender Writes, is proud that he is singled out in the forward for “Friction 7.” Jesse Grant, editor of the “Friction” series, said, “Jim McDonough continues the up-the-ass-of-the-establishment theme with a scandalous confessional scene in ‘Act of Contrition.’” The official release date for “Friction 7: Best Gay Erotica” is Feb. 24. McDonough also runs a really cool Web site called QueerWriters.com, which lists news, events, calls for submissions and other useful stuff designed to keep gay and lesbian writers informed.
