In the Stylist’s Chair

The salon was quiet for early afternoon. It was a nice little place, had an upscale feel with wood laminate floors throughout, cool pastels at least I think they were pastels. The walls weren’t white, I was sure about that.

A receptions desk sat empty save for the phone and an open appointment book, the waiting area to my left was cozy with comfy overstuffed chairs and the latest hair magazines.

The soft squeak of shoes drew my attention. A woman, dressed in a royal blue top and low rise jeans offered me a smile.

As an erotica author, I sometimes feel like I’m not just writing about sex. In my many scenes that I have written, I feel like I am in some ways a “sex therapist”! I have had quite a few people read my stories or my little excerpts that I have, and some have come back and said “My husband and I tried out what I read from your work, and let’s just say I didn’t get much sleep that night and my hips are still sore, two days later!” Honest to god I have had those kinds of responses. But even the good is followed up with the bad. Some of what I write is not for everyone. Just like my new story Mistress of Passion will probably not be a story for everyone, but I do know that it will be appreciated by most. Don’t get me wrong, I am not as self-centered as that may have sounded. As a matter of fact when I send my work off to let people read it I am fearful of what their reaction is going to be.

The Name Game

Thanks Lucy for having me here at Erotica For All today!

I had a English professor who used to call the symbolic use of names in literature the “name game.”  Traditionally, authors have used names as shorthand to help readers understand something about characters. J.K. Rowling is very adept at this. For example, Draco Malfoy’s name tells you pretty much everything you need to know about him even before you really find out what kind of person he is. Draco just sounds nasty. Actually, it sounds like dragon, which works because the name Draco means “snake or serpent”. I’d say the name fits that character well.  And the last name Malfoy?  A basic knowledge of English tells you this means bad. Mal always is something negative, such as maladjusted, malnourished, malcontent. So before you even get to see dear Draco Malfoy in action, the name game has told you he’s bad.

I love my job.

No really. I L-O-V-E my job. I get to be creative and let my imagination run away with me. And if I need more inspiration, there’s always research.

In school, research wasn’t nearly as much fun. I mean, who wants to study ancient whatever when you’d rather be reading a good book or hanging out with friends.

Now days, research is fun and I use it to write books about characters who are almost friends. These days, I love making notes and exploring maps and studying facts.
