The great Jane Bled invited me to share about my writing processes and jump on the #MyWritingProcess blog tour! Thanks, Jane. You’re always a great friend!

1) What am I working on?

I have a lot plates spinning in the air, bouncing back and forth between projects like a hyperactive child on a sugar rush. I think it helps to keep me fresh so I don’t stay on any one thing for two long. My biggest project I’m working on right now is My Fallen Angel, a fiver novella supernatural erotica thriller. It’s a harem story: one guy and a lot of beautiful women banding together to fight the forces of Hell and stop the machinations of a dominatrix-like Succuba named Daevia. Bill is the centerpiece of the story, a young man full of dreams that just hasn’t had the push to go out and try to seize them, but when one of the girls he has a crush on, Cynthia, is dominated by the Succuba, Bill finds the courage to step up and do something about it.

2) How does my work differ from others of its genre?

My Fallen Angel is a fast paced story in the vein of many of the Urban Fantasy’s coming out these days. But mine is full of a whole lot of kinky sex. Sex, love, and lust are integral parts of the My Fallen Angel universe, primal forces that interact and effect the world, driving the powers of Heaven and Hell as they clash in their endless war for the souls of mankind. There is definitely an unusual love story in this one with a group of people all loving each other equally as opposed to a more traditional couple. So this story isn’t quite a straight up erotica, but it isn’t a pure Urban Fantasy, but a meeting of the two with all the kinky, deviant sex I love to write married with an exciting story that could work on its own divorced from the erotica. Though where’s the fun in that?

3) Why do I write what I do?

I love writing about sex. You have to love it to write erotica. But I also love telling grand stories. As some may know, I also write pure fantasy (no erotica) and I love the world building and the imagination of the genre where you’re only limited by your imagination. It’s similar to erotica, and so I can’t help marrying the two and putting my wildest fantasy images alongside my wildest sexual kinks. The best of both worlds. So don’t be surprised if you start seeing erotic fantasy. (Yes, I have already began world building Erathsay)

4) How does my writing process work?

It starts with inspiration. Anything could become that seed that sprouts a story. From a song I heard (such as Jane Bled’s alterego Jayne’s Undercover Geisha that was the seed for my upcoming Flying the Futa Skies) to a passing conversation. If i hear an idea, in my head a story will start to grow. Some I pursue, some I write down planning on pursuing, and others are forgotten by the time I get home from work. But other stay, demanding to be written, growing into my mind and blossoming into short stories, novellas, and even a series of novels. For a short story, I’ll write a quick paragraph of my general idea for it along with a few quick words on the characters. Then I write. I’m not one for doing much outlining, enjoying the thrill of discovery that just writing gives you. Of course, for complicated stories, an outline is necessary, but I leave myself open to discovering new ideas as I write. Before I write, I usually think about the scene in the shower, while driving, lying in bed. Shaping it in my head so I have a rough idea when I start writing it out.

Well those are my answers. If you want to read Jane’s at her blog. You can also like her on facebook and follow her on twitter @janebled

Greetings. I’m Jane Bled, award-winning author of LGBTQ contemporary speculative fiction & erotica. My penchant for evocative imagery entices readers with imaginative, titillating tales they won’t soon forget. Crimson, the first book in my dark fantasy vampire series MASTER, won Best E-book in the 2009 Hollywood Book Festival.

In addition to penning dark stories of the supernatural, forbidden lust, and fantasy, I also sing and compose my own music as Jayne. My dreams are filled with images of leading an accomplished writing career while entertaining audience members nationwide. During downtime, I spend quite evenings at home with my beloved family, cozy up with a good novel, and write the occasional poem.

I love vampires and chocolate, though not necessarily at the same time. In the future, I hope to travel around the world with my family while continuing to enjoy the wonders of life.

B.B. Blaque

I write beautifully flawed characters who ultimately find, perfection is not a prerequisite. Our flaws are what make us unique and some flaws compliment each other better than others.

I love BDSM (Male dominant/female submissive.) There’s something that just feels so right about a man wearing the pants (especially when he wears them well and fills them nicely.) I am interested in the psychological aspects of relationships in general and especially when there is a power-exchange dynamic.

My world would stopping revolving if not for heavy rock music (and the wonderfully talented people who make it.) Music and it’s makers will definitely be strongly visible in my work. I listen, I remember…I listen, I’m inspired…to write…to love…to f**k…to live.

Caelia Portier

I’m Caelia Portier. I was raised in a small and very religious southern community. It was wonderful, but I had a hard time with the sexual suppression, and the still-existing stigmas against gay and bisexual relationships. Today, I am an attorney by day, and an erotica author by night! It’s my way of having a bit more of a creative outlet. Besides, drafting contracts all day can get pretty boring!

I believe everyone should love who they want to love. Besides, there’s already too little love in the world. Wouldn’t you agree? Thank you for reading.
