I have been fascinated with erotica since I was a teenager. But didn't start writing it until I was middle aged. I wrote my first nine full length novels by hand on legal pads and in case you'd care to know it takes nine legal pads to write an 80,000 word manuscript. Boy was I thrilled when I bought my first computer. I read constantly and stay within my genre as often as is possible. However, lately I've been branching out with my writing and have done a vampire romance, a PG13 novella, a murder mystery and am working on a dragon tale and also a Steampunk novel. I have many favorite authors including Linda Lael Miller, Susan Johnson and Tori Carrington. Their works and others have helped inspire my writing. When it comes to erotica, I have a vivid imagination and never have trouble thinking of subjects for my books. I belong to the Romance Writers of America and the local chapter in Nashville, the Music City Romance Writers which meets monthly for seminars and critique sessions. I have been writing for over ten years and have at least twenty completed erotic novellas and nine completed spicy contemporary novels. In the past, I reviewed spicy/erotic novels on a monthly basis for an online science fiction romance newsletter. I also have proofread and critiqued vampire erotica for a published author. The Music City Romance Writers hold an annual writer’s contest and I judge and critique the erotic entries. I am also multi-published in the non-fiction genre. My husband and I have been married since he was a sophomore in college. We have two beautiful daughters, one gracious son-in-law and three delightful grandchildren. My husband and I have lived in several states including California (me) North Dakota (him), Washington state, Wisconsin and now reside in Nashville, TN. We both agree this is the best place we have ever lived and plan to live out the rest of our lives here. I think I would be lost forever if I could not read or write. It's been in my blood since I received the full set of Cherry Ames Nurse for my ninth Christmas. I love to hear from my readers and hope you will take the time to write to me on Facebook, or my email address: cheriedenis@gmail.com.
