Sex can be the greatest pleasure or the deepest disappointment. It's an expression of love, a few moments of fun, the way to scratch an itch, a lifetime commitment and all with two (or more) bodies tangled in the dark. The human form comes together in perfect harmony, like musical instruments coming together to create the ultimate composition or concert..

Twelve authors have penned tales of sex, crime, revenge, ego, espionage, and unexplainable events, each involving a musical instrument commonly found in an orchestra.

Couples, threesomes, group sex, same-sex, multiple partners, a bit of bondage, and one mermaid-no matter who they are or what configuration they choose to satisfy their lust, all participants soon learn it's not just about sex.

Of course, with just one wrong note...it's murder.

Sex & Violins features stories of crime and intimacy by Jack Bates, Laura Hazan, Anna V. Nelson, Chandler Christie, Albert Tucher, Shari Held, Karen Keeley, Joseph S. Walker, Linda K. Hardie, Steve Liskow, Wendy Harrison and Sandra Murphy.
