Hi to all of my readers. I thought I'd take a bit of time to talk about the woman behind the stories, since I'm often asked what I'm really like in person. Well, I'm quite a bit different from the characters in my stories, as much as some of you might believe otherwise. *smiles* I consider myself more quiet and reserved than most, but also caring and compassionate. At the same time, I've always had a very creative imagination, and a love for all kinds of literature, including erotica in this case. *smiles* I used to be a reader myself, and I began writing my own stories back in May of 2000. Since then, I've gradually settled into my own style of erotica which involves a mix of love and emotions in some, and steamy lust and seduction in others. And, in between that I occasionally like to experiment with different tones and themes that don't normally find their way into my usual style.

I like to look at my writing as an enjoyable escape from reality, both for myself the author and hopefully for my readers. At the same time, I like to put a little bit of myself into my writing, usually in the form of underlying themes or ideas that I enjoy or believe in. I also love creating characters and settings unique to each of my stories, whether it be two business professionals alone in a highrise, or two young women together in a pre-revolutionary French bordello. One thing I've come to enjoy as a part of my more recent writing style is how I always look for somewhere new to set each release, or a story aspect that makes each story unique from the other..

And, what would an erotic story be without its steamy moments? *smiles* This is another area that I've enjoyed developing since I first began writing. The sex in my stories has gone from very lustful and descriptive, to very loving and feeling oriented, as well as everywhere in-between. In terms of relating to my own everyday life, the erotic moments in my stories have hints of both fiction and reality. I'm not nearly as adventurous as the characters in my stories, myself. If anything, it's my imagination that creates the sometimes over the top actions that the characters in my stories take. That's what I love about erotic fiction though; your characters can do and perform things that you would never have the courage to do in real life. *smiles* That's what I'm like, but I accept it and am happy with it. Reserved in reality, but wild at heart. That's me. *smiles*
