Interview About Erotica with Elene Sallinger!
Erotica Authors Venture Where Others Fear to Tread
by Elene Sallinger

Be warned – 18 + only please!!
Sex. One of the most natural acts a person can perform and
yet it is treated like a plague by the average writer. In fact, there is a
distinct code by which sex is described so as to prevent the non-erotic author
from being sullied by such subversive words as “clitoris” or “orgasm”.
Personally, I grew up with this code none the wiser.
Heroines didn’t cum they “fell over the edge into ecstasy.” Heroes didn’t get
their dicks sucked, they were “tasted”. Men didn’t have cocks they had a
“manhood” and the list goes on.
Nothing I read growing up prepared me for the gritty reality
of sex. The pristine, two-line scenes in my Barbara Cartland novels couldn’t
encompass the scents and sounds and sensations that make up truly carnal sex.
Sadly, it wasn’t until I stumbled upon my first piece of
erotica that I understood the difference between sex as it is written in the
general lexicon and a truly erotic sex scene. That was also when I understood
that to write a good sex scene, the erotica writer must be fearless.
The erotica writer must embrace the language of sex and
wield it deftly. Ironically, the erotica author is often ridiculed as not being
a “real” writer simply because we choose to explore sex and use the language of
sex to its fullest. It’s almost as if the usage of the word “cunt” negates ones
artistic credibility.
To that I say simply … bullshit.
I contend that it takes true skill and creativity to write a
sex scene that draws you in and titillates you while remaining arousing. There
is always a danger of tipping over the ledge into a clinical recitation. Truly
skilled erotica writers engage the senses and the brain leaving you as wet and
breathless as the main character.
That takes true
skill. That takes courage.
The erotica author goes where others fear to tread and that
should be celebrated not reviled.

Take a Chance on Love
Christi Williams
When Chancie de Leur meets highway patrol trooper Micah Taylor one
frosty Wyoming night, instant sexual heat kindles between them. Chancie’s a
lonely young widow who owns her own business and Micah is divorced, so there
shouldn’t be anything holding them back. But Micah wonders if Chancie’s obvious
wealth might become an issue, or the fact that she’s apparently the second
woman in his life who has zero interest in ever having his baby.
Micah has no idea of the real problem between him and Chancie, until he meets her son. Ten-year-old Jamie de Leur is determined to break up his mom and her lawman, and Micah questions whether any relationship with Chancie is worth dealing with the spoiled kid she’s raising.
In a showdown over Jamie breaking the law, Micah has to decide if he wants to be Chancie’s cop—or her family man.

My fiction is contemporary, so the settings and the
characters are completely modern and struggle with today’s issues. But the men
and women in my writing leave a big footprint, because their personalities and
their solutions to problems hark back to the iconic days which really don’t
exist anymore. My characters truly live by the Code of the West.
Christi Williams writes contemporary sensual romance set
in Wyoming. My strong heroines love cowboys and lawmen!
I love hearing from readers, so please contact me.

Excerpt:
“This
place flipping sucks,” Tam said, using her whiniest voice.
She
didn’t get to visit with her friend, Lena, very often since she lived amongst
the humans, and Tam was stuck living in the Hall of the Gods. She was taking
full advantage of the rare social call by laying all her problems on the Seer
as thick as possible. “I mean, look around,” she added, gearing up for a full
rant. “There’s not one man in this joint I’d be willing to sleep with.”
Lena’s
bright pink hair, which stood out in a spike above her head, tilted from side
to side as she did as Tam ordered. Her eyes widened, showing her confusion.
“Are you
insane?”
Disbelief
laced her words. Lifting one beautifully manicured finger, she pointed out a
blond angel that was guarding a nearby door. “What about that one?” Before Tam
could answer, Lena added, “or that one?”
Tam
didn’t bother glancing in the redhead’s direction. She knew without looking
that both men wore matching black kilts and nothing else. Their golden muscular
bodies were a common sight in the Heavens.
“Bloody
freaking hell, Lena. All these guys are three feet taller than me. What am I
supposed to do with them, I ask you? Their,” she made a swirling gesture with
her index finger, searching for the right term. “Pricks. Yes,” she said with a
nod, deciding that she liked that word. “They are probably the size of my leg.
I’d be killed.”
A snort
of laughter escaped Lena, but she covered her mouth as if attempting to hold it
in. Tam’s nerve endings lit up at the sound. Most people believe that chanting
their belief in fairies will cause one to grow strong, but in truth laughter
was the key to pixie power. A day with Lena was equivalent to a day at the spa
for Tam. Not only was Lena the clumsiest immortal in all the realms, she was
also a regular hoot.
Feeling
encouraged, she grew even more outrageous. “Take that one, for example.” Tam
nodded toward a dark-haired angel that stood a few inches taller than the rest.
“Notice that his kilt falls to his shins instead of his knees,” she pointed
out.
Lena
nodded. “I did think that was odd, but then again, what isn’t here?”
It was
Tam’s turn to snort. “Well, his is not a fashion statement. I heard that he
tried wearing the standard uniform when he first arrived, but everyone got sick
of seeing that huge one-eyed monster slapping his kneecaps every step that he
took. Mistress Katrina finally made him wear a longer one.”
Lena openly gawked at the man in question.
Leaning over in her chair, she tried to peek under his pleat before losing her
balance and almost landing on her face.
Catching
her stare, the man began to inch the plaid upward as if fully prepared to
relieve Lena’s curiosity.
“Thomas!”
Tam cried, admonishing the wicked angel.
With a
wink in Lena’s direction, he turned away, but Lena didn’t look the least bit
ashamed as she attempted to right herself.
“Too
bad,” she sighed. “I’ve never seen a knee-slapping monster before. Why don’t
you just leave?”
Wasn’t
that the million-dollar question? Tam’s wings drooped, mimicking her inner
deflation. “I want a normal man,” she confessed to Lena. “An ordinary man who
won’t squash my twat,” she added miserably.

And can he protect her from the horrors that her gift brings?

Erica will have to risk it all if she wants to stop the killer, and when she does, Trent may have to put his own life on the line to make sure his mate is protected…
