Why not? I enjoy reading them, so I wrote one. Many people today still seem to have a very narrow minded view of sex. Many people perceive sex as dirty and shouldn’t be spoken about. I believe that as long as sex is consensual between people who know and understand the consequences, then there is nothing dirty or seedy about it. Everyone is entitled to their own sexual preferences and shouldn’t be judged on those choices, just as people shouldn’t be judged based on their race or religion. By writing erotic books, I think people will find it easier to freely talk about sex.

So many to choose from. Gena Showalter is the author of the first erotic book I read. The  Lords of the Underworld series was what got me hooked into the genre. It is authors like Kresley Cole, Stormy Glenn, Lynn Hagan and Joyee Flynn that keep me hooked.

I read a few erotic fantasies based on Greek mythology and I found the subject really interesting so I studied it further. I learnt about all these amazing and wonderful myths and legends. I found the subject fascinating which sparked my imagination.

Yes. Some people seem to think that I use my own personal experiences and sexual fantasies to write an erotic book, this is not true. I may right about characters I can relate to or with traits I aspire to but my personal life is my own.

Until two and a half years ago I hadn’t read a book since school. My dyslexia made it a very difficult and a slow process so I avoided it. That is until I was on a night shift with nothing to do, someone gave me their copy of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Since then I’ve never been far away from a book, I have read close to 500 books, most of which have been erotic romance.

Never in a million years. I never believed I could write anything let alone get published. Once I found out how much I enjoyed reading and getting lost in a story, I found the inspiration to write my own. Many of the female characters in the erotic romances I read were portrayed as weak damsels in distress. I wanted to write about strong and powerful women who didn’t need to be rescued, but occasionally want to be. It wasn’t until I had written Crimson Lip’s and I was confident in what I wrote that I thought, ‘this could actually get published’.

Yes, Crimson Lip’s is the first of the Amazon Warrior’s series. I am currently writing the next instalment of this series as well as planning the third and forth. I believe this series has the potential to produce many more interesting characters and exciting relationships. I also have ideas for other series but they will have to wait until I get this series more established.

I’m not sure I’m qualified to answer but I would say that to write, you have to read. Read books from your genre and learn from established authors. Be confident in what you write. Lose yourself to the world you create because if you can believe in it, others will too.
