I know, it sounds weird coming
from an erotic writer, but it’s the truth. At least, it is for me. I don’t
write sex stories. I write stories that have sex in them. To me, there is a
difference. I’m not criticizing those that just write to share sex, because I
love to read those stories, as well, and love it when the girls do. It tends to
make for some steamy evenings. Still, those are not the stories I write. I want
the sex to be a by-product of the tale I am trying to tell, not the other way
around.
Furthermore, I don’t explore sex.
I explore relationships. Again, not criticizing those who do. I prefer to see
what makes certain people tick inside of specific situations. In Losing Faith, it wasn’t just the control
Faith wanted to experience that I was exploring, but how the Greers responded
within that exploration. It is also a learning experience to see how those
around them responded to what was going on as personalities evolved and people
were tossed into situations beyond their comfort level. Those are the stories I
like to tell.
