By Dianna Dilworth 

cleispressPenthouse is jumping on the erotica bandwagon. The X-rated media company has teamed up with Cleis Press for a new series of erotica novels called Penthouse Variations On. The series will feature six co-branded collections of erotica, each collection will have a theme. For example, the first title will be Penthouse Variations on Oral.

Co-founder of Cleis Press Felice Newman remarked, “We are excited by this opportunity to expand the readerships of both Cleis and Penthouse in this fresh cross-pollination of sex positive culture. Together, we plan to develop a unique series that will take the erotica market by storm.”

Publishers Group West will distribute the books. The books will come out this fall.
