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.”

• 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.
