As our second guest author on the Tales of Gnosis College it a privilege and a pleasure to introduce a one-chapter story by Vinnie Tesla.  Vinnie and I go a ways back, at least to 2009 when I wrote a quick review of the audiobook version of his story “The Ontological Engine, or The Modern Leda” for ErosBlog, a steampunk mad-science erotic things-go-rather-awry romp that kept me very entertained back in that cold December.  (And also taught me the correct pronunciation of “geoduck.”)  So I was delighted when Vinnie agreed to accept my commission to create a story for Tales.

As part of its never-ending vigilance against…something or other, the National Security Agency generated this thermal image of Vinnie Tesla.

Vinnie is the author of numerous erotic books and stories, many published by Circlet Press.  Two of his most prominent are The Erotofluidic Age, which includes the story I reviewed. and Ota Discovers Fire, the winner of Circlet’s 2012 “Fantastic Erotica” award.

Vinnie’s stories have also appeared in Fantastic Erotica:  The Best of Circlet Press 2008-2012,  Silent Shadows Come:  Erotic Tales of Ninjas, Up for Grabs:  Exploring the Worlds of Gender, and Like a Long Road Home: Erotic Tales of Perilous Journeys.  He’s provided a fine script “There’s an App for That” for our next month’s enjoyment here at Erotic Mad Science, so please join me in welcoming him here.
