I never set out for my first book, Thirty Days Have
September, to be an erotic romance. I read plenty of novels in that genre but I
also love thrillers, supernatural, a good murder mystery and sappy love
stories. But as I got to the point that I needed to write the first sex scene I
got a little bit nervous. Of course there are so many ways of writing a sex
scene from the completely discrete to no-holds-barred graphic descriptions and
I just wasn’t sure where I sat on the spectrum. So one day I just sat down and
wrote the kind of description that I would have enjoyed reading myself and, low
and behold, I discovered I had a bit of a kinky side.
This has continued and been stretched even further with my
latest novel, Tied to You, where I
explore a BDSM relationship. Whilst not actively in the scene myself, I have a
couple of friends who are and were happy to answer any questions I had. It took
a long time to get the scenes and the relationship dynamics right but in the
end when my harshest critic, my mother, praised them and told me she enjoyed
them I realised that I had found my groove. And who knew my mum had a kinky side
as well?
