On March 13, 2016, my first erotica story, titled “A Dream for Papa”, was published at Literotica, under the login “leenysman”. I meant that to represent “Leeny’s Man”, as a remembrance of my late wife, whose nickname was Leeny, even though she would have disapproved of what I was writing.
When I decided later that year to self-publish my stories as ebooks, I simply expanded that handle into the pseudonym M.R. Leenysman. The initials don’t really mean anything, but were suggested by the word “mister”.
“A Dream for Papa” became the title of a short story collection containing that story. When I opened this blog, I chose the tagline “It all started with a Dream” to also refer to it.
Today is the fourth birthday of that story, as well as my anniversary as an author. Since then, I’ve published 39 erotica ebooks, from short stories, collections, to novellas and novels.
