I am a story-teller before I am a writer. The red tail hawks that circle around my path become the mana. My writing resonates with the unique and the unusual. That being said, never in my most vivid imagination did I think I could write erotica and manage to intertwine my love of research into it.
Each story is written with elements of truth. Train Sex Money was my biggest challenge. Could I make sex the focus while still telling a story? But the most daunting tale I ever wrote was Weeping Angel of Death. My first sci-fi. The story-line includes some . As a product of private Catholic school my grand-mother would turn over in her grave if she knew of this. The nuns and priests would expect nothing less from me.
Writing erotica feels as though I've discovered an ancient secret. It's so much more fun to write short stories. It's so much more enjoyable to write for the sake of telling/sharing a story. My only wish is that I had more time to read. So many of the author's on Lush are astoundingly talented! Some of the short stories, novels and poetry are like a delicious treat. Lush is truly a place of inspiration and a sobering grounding of self.
