Sexy and Nearly Sixty and Erotic Romance? by Kate Deveaux (@KateDeveaux)

 Do those three words go together? Did I just delve into a new genre of erotic romance?

It begs the question:

Have you lost your mind Kate Deveaux?

No, in fact I am thrilled that my heroine in Cockpit is nearly 58 years old. Let’s hear it for the older heroine!

Now, I am not saying there is anything wrong with your younger heroines — there are plenty of them in my books and will be in my future books. But gee, it sure was nice to write about ‘mature sexual love’.

Oh, Those Conflicted Victorians… by Elia Winters (@eliawinters)

Since I’m on tour with Combustion, which has revisionist-Victorian overtones, I thought I’d take this blog post to talk about the sexually conflicted Victorian period as it really was, not as I reimagined it.

People tend to think of the Victorians as being pretty darn uptight when it comes to sex. And in a way, they’d be right: the same rules and regulations that governed all aspects of Victorian life didn’t exclude sexuality. Men prided themselves on controlling their baser instincts, and women were considered not to have many sexual feelings at all!

At the same time, though, the Victorian era was a time of rampant prostitution. Regulating sexuality didn’t really control it; instead, those regulations pushed sexuality underground. Women’s sexuality was still considered abnormal, however. Any aberrant behavior by a woman was considered a sign of hysteria, pent-up sexual frustration, to be “cured” by a doctor who would bring a woman to orgasm by hand in his office.

Erotica and Fantasy? Makes Perfect Sense to Me by Jane Kindred (@JaneKindred)

I’ve been writing erotic fiction for years under my real name, Betty Blue, but my first love has always been fantasy. The problem was that my fantasy fiction has always had elements of romance and erotica to it. Traditionally, it’s been hard to find an audience that likes both together—fantasy readers may find erotic scenes, romance, and non-binary genders distracting from the plot, and erotica readers generally aren’t all that turned on by court intrigue and complex world building—but thanks to the popularity of writers like Jacqueline Carey and Storm Constantine, adventurous readers are more common these days.

You can walk into any room of people and find someone with something similar, or the same as you. (Well usually.) A birthday, the same name—sometimes more than one name the same—same parents’ names, education, employment. You name it, these coincidences occur more often than you’d think.

But the chances of it being more than one of those things are a lot lower. You might both be called Rose and were both born on 28th April, but you probably aren’t both named Rose Ellen Grant and work as teachers.

But what if you were?

Thank you for hosting me on your blog, Lucy. It’s an honour to be here, and to introduce Veronica to your readers. My erotic novella is inspired by the life of one of the most sought-after 16th Century Venetian Courtesans. These gifted ladies were trained, usually by their mothers, not just to have sex but also to entertain their patrons by singing, playing music, dancing, and witty conversation. Veronica was a talented seductress and also a published writer and poet. Her forward, feisty personality impressed me when I read her work and it was a joy to bring her to life on the page, helped by my brilliant editor John Hudspith who also worked with me on my time-slip historical romance Lady of Asolo. Veronica had a passionate affair with a fellow-poet; the following extract is taken from the start of their first sexual encounter. I’m now working on Book Two in the series, which will be set in 6th Century Constantinople, and is inspired by a courtesan who set her sights on the most powerful man in the world: the Emperor’s nephew and heir apparent.

Thank you Erotica For All for hosting me today. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be here and promote my novella series, Taking Advantage. It’s a compilation of three novellas (Board Stiff, Board Approved and Board Indiscretion) that tell the stories of three men that sit on the board of directors of Advantage Insurance Company. Though they seem to have it all, they can’t seem to figure out their love lives. In walks three amazing women that turn their worlds upside down. Isn’t that how it always happens?
