Hey sex fans,

I have an exceptionally delicious show in store for you today.  I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of the rising stars in the erotica firmament.  emerald_1Her name is Emerald.  (Don’t you just love how some folks get away with using only one name?  I gotta tell you that I tried that once myself.  I used refer to myself simply as — Dick.  Well, you can see right away how many problems there was with that moniker, huh?)

Anyway, the ever-charming and oh so smutty Emerald joins us as my latest guest in this series of interviews I’m doing with noted erotic artists called The Erotic Mind. As you know, we’ve been chatting with these ingenious people in hopes of uncovering something of the creative process involved with this specialized art form.

And as a special treat, Emerald will share with us a very delectable selection from the fruit of her Erotic Mind.   This will be of particular interest to the edgier folks in our audience.

To give you a little foretaste of what you are in for today, here’s Emerald writing about herself on her site:  “Emerald is an erotic fiction author and general advocate for human sexuality as informed by her deep appreciation of the beauty, value, and intrinsic nature of sexuality and its holistic relation to life.”

Emerald and I discuss:

• Her philosophy about human sexuality
• Her nom de plume, and why.
• Her writing career and how it began.
• Creating petite works of literary art, one word at a time.
• Being a sex worker and its impact on her writing.

Emerald serves up a juicy morsel of her own erotica.
