When you first started writing, did you have any idea you’d be writing BDSM/kinky books? Do you write in any other genre? No, I never thought I’d head down the BDSM/erotic romance route. I started out on a creative writing course that covered all genres from children’s books to magical realism. I found my niche, however, when I stumbled across a writing competition run by online sex shop LoveHoney – http://www.lovehoney.co.uk – and fired off a naughty story about the first US female president up to naughtiness in the Oval Office with the British PM and much to my surprise I won first place! That was it, I was off on a roller coaster ride of sexy stories and I haven’t looked back since. 
At what point did you decide you wanted to write BDSM/kinky-themed erotica? After winning the competition I began reading the genre more and more, naturally my writing headed down the same route. I always like a good deal of romance with my stories though, I guess I’m a big believer in love and that it really does make the world go round.
Do you write BDSM/kink erotica based on what you find interesting or sexy, or do you write more for your audience? Definitely what I find interesting or sexy myself, if I didn’t ‘feel’ the storyline then I wouldn’t be able to write it. Having said that, I don’t want to try out everything I write about, I guess that’s the beauty of being an author, I can slip into my characters head and experience wild, edgy things vicariously.
