The Life of an Erotic Author
It's amazing to me what people think the life of an erotic
author consists of. Their minds are, I swear, dirtier than mine! It's all dark
candlelight rooms, naked bodies and debauchery. They imagine every moment of my
day to be filled with erotic something, not to mention the huge cash payouts I
must be getting all the time. If I did and had half the things people thought I
did, I would be rich enough to pay for a good lawyer to keep me out of jail for
the naughtiness I suppose...
Reality being much less glamorous I am not disappointed that
they think I am so much more interesting than I think I am.
What people think I do...
Wake in the morning, late having slept in with filthy dreams
filling my sleeping mind. Surrounded by silk sheets, pillows and perhaps one or
two partners from the night before, stretching languidly trying to decide how
to spend the day. Served coffee and fresh fruit in bed by a sexy half clothed
maid I let the sun shine down on me through my huge windows that face an
amazing view of majestic mountains. A snap of my fingers brings my laptop to me
and I begin to write. My fingers flow over the keyboard retelling in supposedly
fictional stories all the wonderfully erotic things I have been doing in the
last few days and plan to do in the near future.
What I really do...
Alarm is going off at the crack of dawn. Groggily stumble
from bed, make coffee, hot shower. Wake up the mini me and get her breakfast
and dressed and backpack together then rushing her off to school on the way to
the day job. If I am lucky I will have a down moment to think and plot on my
story during the day. Then its pick up from school, dinner, homework, bath and
bedtime. Now I am exhausted, sipping a glass of wine and grab the laptop. I try
and block out the stress of life as I delve into one of my stories, it's a
great escape.
The truth is so much less glamorous than what people think.
Like I said, I don't mind at all that they think my life so much more
interesting, and yes at times it is quite interesting. I do get to do and see
some fun things not everyone is exposed to, but more because I seek it out as a
person rather than because being an erotic author comes with it as a perk.
On the 9th of April my twenty-second story will
be published, The Realm of Passion at Total-E-Bound publishing. This is a
lesbian fantasy short story that is passionate and fun. 'Irresistible magic in
a tempting body.'
Callie's body is the perfect hiding place for the magic of
the fairy realm. Malia is the perfect guard for her body against the demons
determined to have the magic for themselves. Malia can't resist the magic--it
calls to her and Callie's body is as close as she can get to it. Surprised to
find the body so welcoming, Malia refuses to give it up once she has it. Is
their attraction enough to break the rules of the fairy realm?
I hope that my escape into writing becomes an escape into
reading for everyone who comes across my stories. READ TO ESCAPE... because
fantasy is so much better than reality.
