ELIJAH STEELE is the Executive Editor of Polished Knob Press; he launched it in 2025 to house his own venture into Gay Erotica, with hopes to eventually publish similar stories from other authors.

His journey into erotica made him realize that he inadvertently created a new genre: Erotic Speculative Fiction -or- EroSpec Fiction—part erotica, part speculative fiction, part romance. His stories fuse unapologetic graphic lust with the story scale of fantasy and sci-fi, proving that stories can include elements that are just as raw, carnal, and sensual as life itself. Each story blends imaginative stories with unflinching eroticism, pulling readers into worlds where passion drives the plot and desire reshapes destiny.

Although Elijah is pansexual (and might eventually write something for a pansexual audience), for now he (specifically) writes Gay EroSpec Fiction. He writes with the sensitivity of an empath and the sexual appetite of a storyteller who refuses to hold back.

You can also check out Wonderlust, Elijah’s Substack featuring chapter releases, exclusive scenes, and shorter serialized fiction projects such as Echoes of Evermore.

When he isn’t at the keyboard, you can usually find him in the kitchen cooking or just enjoying time with his husband and two mini schnauzers in Tampa, Florida—living life as boldly as the worlds he creates.
