I know a lot of fellow authors who blog almost daily, and I truly do envy them. They are so good at sharing their funny anecdotes about life. I, unfortunately, suck at blogging. I’ve tried several times, but I find I’m much better at writing stories about fictional characters. My problem is that when I blog, I get too far into my own head. It’s a messy place that no one really wants to go. I think my biggest issue is that I am my own worst enemy. I try to be uplifting, but I generally fail at it. I would consider myself someone with a good sense of humor, but just because you can laugh at life and things other people say doesn’t mean you feel it in your bones.

Ava-Ann Holland Interviews Erzabet Bishop
Hello everybody,
I’m Ava-Ann Holland, a newbie among the UK erotica writers and one of the contributing authors for the Forbidden Fruit: Stories of Unwise Lesbian Desire anthology. Today I have the great honor of interviewing Erzabet Bishop, whose contribution to Forbidden Fruit: Stories of Unwise Lesbian Desire, the intriguingly entitled Ascending Amelia, is one of my personal favorites in the anthology.
Before we get started though, a big thank you to eroticaforall for letting us have this space and to Lucy Felthouse for organizing it.

P.J. Fiala On Inspiration (@pfiala)
Where do you get your inspiration from?
The best thing about being a writer is that anything and anyone is a story. There is no lack of inspiration. On top of that, my husband and I are bikers, so I have a lot of time to sit and think while riding. My imagination has always been active and now I have an outlet for it.
So, picture this. Hubby and I are biking with friends. We decide to stop and eat lunch somewhere (somewhere that looks clean), and as we pull into the parking lot, there are a group of people sitting outside smoking. We park our bikes and as we are getting off the bike, grabbing our purses out of the back, some of the gals with me comb their hair before we walk into the bar, and I hear the smokers talking. “Then, when I thought the argument was over, she walked over and slapped him right across the face and then kicked him in the balls. I couldn’t believe it, right in front of everyone. Then she yelled at him and told him if he ever touched her or her sister again, she would cut his dick off with a dull blade.”

Thanks for hosting me today. Considering this is Erotica For All, I thought I’d broach the subject of sex scenes, inspiration, and research…
I like sex, it’s as simple as that. Even before I started writing romance, when I was aspiring to be a crime writer, sex was still high on my list when it came to “what to include in the story”. We’re human, we all do it, well most of us anyway. So when I decided to start on romance, it was obvious that sex was going to feature highly.

Food and Sex by Lisabet Sarai
Welcome to my blog tour for my new novel The Ingredients of Bliss. What’s the book about? Well, some might say it focuses on the dual pleasures of food and sex.
My heroine, Mei Lee “Emily” Wong, is a French-trained chef from Hong Kong who is invited to America to appear on a cooking show with the famous Gallic foodie, Etienne Duvalier. A culinary traditionalist, Etienne scorns Emily’s more creative approach to cooking. Emily has a tendency to add unconventional ingredients like ginger or water chestnuts to classic French dishes. Although the results are usually delicious, Etienne believes the standard recipes that have immortalized French cuisine should not be tampered with.
