I enjoy writing and playing with words. I write erotica because I find it exciting to explore sexual relationships of all types in fantasies. I try to rise above the mere couplings of bodies and arousal of genitalia, and try to create real characters that readers can identify with. I believe the essential requirement for an erotic story is plausibility. An erotic story can describe exquisite bodies and spectacular sex, but if he reader can't identify with it it won't turn him/her on. My other principle is that a good story tells itself. If I have to keep embellishing it to keep it going or it gets laboured I give up. Best is when the characters take on a life of their own and tell me how they want their story to develop and conclude!
