I grew up in the fifties and sixties, and that is reflected in my books quite often. I spent twenty years in law enforcement, and traveled the world, which also can be seen in my books and stories. While the genre I write in is technically called erotic romance, what I actually write are stories with a plot, which include sexual behavior on the part of the characters. That is because most people's lives include sex and erotic gratification.
And, since most people wonder about lifestyles that are sometimes called taboo, or forbidden, I write about them, occasionally too. I believe that two consenting adults know more about their own happiness than anyone else, and that even if they are mistaken, they have the right to make their own choices. I also believe that love is the key to making choices that will not turn out to be mistakes. Many of my ideas involve coming of age, which usually takes place in the early to mid teens.
Publishing standards, however, require that all characters in the published version of the book be over 18. That's not realistic, but it's just the way things are. If you purchase one of my books and would like to have the original version, unedited for age, send a copy of your receipt to merely.bob@gmail.com and I'll happily provide you with a copy of the original at no additional cost. It is not illegal to write or possess such versions.
It's just unpopular with certain special interest groups who desire to restrict your freedom.
Generally sunny in outlook, capable of creating thunder and lightning, I travel the winds in my writing, exploring different persona, and trying different skins. Men in my life have told me they like all of my skins, but I think they're just beggingI was born in the South. I'm a country girl. I've been writing since I was 11 and plan to keep writing as long as the characters come to me and give their stories to share with others.
