Writing Characters that will Stand Out by Danielle DeVor

DeVorauthorpicsmallSometimes, getting to know your characters and making them seem realistic is a very hard thing. Every book you write in a series, the characters have to be consistent along with the story. But, once in a blue moon, you will stumble across a character who will just flow. For me, that’s Jimmy Holiday.

I think the reason why is that I’ve been told that Jimmy is a big combination of my personality and my dad’s. I didn’t plan him that way, and I certainly didn’t set out to be quasi-autobiographical, but that’s how it turned out. Continue reading

Women are still judged for enjoying sex, they are still treated as sexual objects and they are still to some extent sexually repressed.

I talked this through with an old friend (Lola now my partner at Secret Erotica) and she started to complain about the low quality of erotica sites on online and also about the fact that they were all so female-unfriendly with lots of annoying guys on them.

That’s when the idea for Secret Erotica came about. We decided to create an amazing online community for ourselves and the rest of the world to enjoy free from misogyny and horny internet pests! Continue reading
