- Bio
- Will Belegon began writing erotica the way many have… he read some and thought, “I can do that.” Amazingly, instead of being another example of hubris, the feedback indicated he may have been right. He spent a few years honing his craft by writing and editing for his friends and peers at Literotica’s Author’s Hangout before his writing partner “convinced” him to submit a co-written piece to a publisher.
The publisher not only purchased that piece, Switch went on to be chosen as the Best Mainstream Short Story by the readers of Preditor’s & Editors in the 2006 Reader’s Poll. Since that first success, Will has written and/or edited for Venus Press, Phaze and Charles River Press. In addition to the P&E prize, Will has won annual awards at Literotica for Best Erotic Couplings story and Sexiest Male Character, seen his first print work (Artifactual: Tales of the Erotique Mystique) chosen as a Coffee Time Romance Book of the Month and been a finalist for the Eppies as one of the contributing poets to Phaze In Verse. In addition to Literotica, his poetry and fiction have appeared online at Oysters & Chocolate, Clean Sheets &The Erotic Woman.
Will has made personal appearances from San Diego to New York to Milwaukee to Houston. He is currently exploring the wild notion of making a living as a writer and continuing his creative and romantic relationship with author Alessia Brio. Outside of writing, Will spends leisure time with his kids and playing with swords.

Marriage: Facts vs. Emotion
We hear it all the time, and we slap back with examples all the
time.
"The Bible says marriage is between one man and one woman." Or "Marriage has been about one man and one woman for (insert number of thousands of years.)"
Which supporters of same sex marriage, certainly including myself,…

Why Romney's Bully Past Matters
Last week, the Washington Post reported an incident in which GOP
Candidate Mitt Romney engaged in a scene out of teenage
nightmares.
Some might call that statement a bit strong.
I disagree. The report from the Post was corroborated by five of Romney's classmates, including at least one who actually hel…

Santorum Bows Out
So now its set. Romney vs. Obama.
I saw an article yesterday that called Romney the weakest candidate since Dukakis put on a helmet and sat in a tank. And that's true. So why?
Why do I feel like this is going to be close? Mitt Romney, who created the…

Redefing Rape: New GOP-sponsored Anti-abortion Bill
We all know that certain groups in this country have a focus on
abortion that overrides any other issue. They will go to any
lengths to overturn Roe vs Wade -- and the most extreme of them
will even call murder justified if it is the murder of a person…

The Breakfast Club
I watched The Breakfast Club with my stepson today...
Such an iconic movie. A moment suspended in time, a single Saturday afternoon in the mid-eighties. It is a piece of theater that seems so dead-on specific to me... and yet, like all classics, it is so universal that thousands of…

Stay Decision Seems To Say No Appeal Possible
The wait for the decision in California's Prop 8 case was long.
Months, not weeks... a long time to wait. Especially considering it
has been 22 months since the fateful thing passed in the first
place.
Thirteen days of actual trial ended and the case went for decision in March.…

Sarah Says Gulf Oil Spill Is Environmentalists Fault
Every once in awhile I think I am beyond surprise. Then something

An Avoidable Tragedy In Sonoma County
I want you to imagine something... Especially if you are
heterosexual...
You've been married for twenty years. You and your wife (or husband) are entering those "golden years." You have memories and a home and happiness, if not health. Your partner, eleven years your senior, has become frail.…

The Peril of Ali Sabat
A Lebanese man who works as a television psychic has receieved a

he.

What Massachusetts Means...
Very simply, the GOP victory in Massachusetts is a message. We
didn't elect Obama and a super majority to sit and dither with
obstructionists. We elected them to get things done. And if you
don't do it, we will kick your ass out!
Now, I have no data to support…

The New Lie: Bush Kept Us Safer Than Obama
In recent weeks, a trend has emerged. The next big lie that the
Republican leadership seems to want to focus on is a downright
doozy. Enough to make me wonder if it is a test. After the Birther
and Tea Party silliness actually seemed to resonate with parts…

The Dangers of Compromise In Health Care
The Democratic moderates are shooting themselves in the
foot...again. If anyone is going to need new health care, you would
think it would be these soon-to-be toeless wonders.
AP, Washington - Facing the need to maintain a tenuous 60-vote coalition in the Senate, House Democrats will probably have to… Read full post »

All Things Must Pass...
We've all had favorite possessions. Things that we enjoyed, perhaps
even treasured. Things whose value to us outweighed their cost. For
me, and for many men, one of the things we often treasure is a
vehicle.

A Costly Victory - And Perhaps A Useless One
As someone who has consistently advocated the reform of the health
care system and as a voice that was far from silent on this issue
in the past, I find the fact that the Senate has managed to pass a
bill on health care insurance reform encouraging.

La Jolla Writers Conference 2009
Four and a half years into this gig, I've begun to develop that

I still get excited to see friends and attend…

Shame On Maine
"This country, which has given to
the world the example of physical liberty, owes to it that of moral
emancipation also. For as yet, it is but nominal with us. The
inquisition of public opinion overwhelms in practice the freedom
asserted by the laws in theory." --Thomas Jefferson to John
Adams,… Read full post »

Why Are We Still Talking About This? Blog Action Day 2009
Yes,I am one of those annoying people that likes to quote their

Firefly, the short-lived but extremely well written space-opera
with a western overtone. In one of the episodes, Capt. Mal Reynolds
brings his ship and crew into danger…

Honor Him In A Manner He Would Appreciate
Ted Kennedy has passed, brain cancer taking from us the last of a
set of brothers whose impact on the history of this great nation is
unarguably massive.
Senator Kennedy was a man of passion, an impressive legislator and a great American. He saw two of his beloved brothers pay the…
