ELIZABETH SAFLEUR - Fabulous interview with erotic romance writer ~ Elite Doms of Washington series

Aloha everyone! Today I have the fabulous fellow erotic romance writer and one of the original five of The Flush and Blush Club here with me!! Elizabeth Safleur. She writes the steamy Elite Doms of Washington series. The classy seductive tales out of the nations Capitol. 

So a big warm aloha and welcome Elizabeth, great to have you here today. :-) 

Tell our readers a wee bit about yourself. What are 5 things you wished you’d done, have done or are still wanting to do, on the Bucket List? J

1.   I have always wanted to go to the Cannes Film Festival. I’m probably over-romanticizing the reality of it. But I love the idea of hanging with celebrities on the French coast, wearing something chic and French-like.

2.   Learn to pay the guitar.

3.   Throw a masquerade ball, complete with jester dressed up in harlequin outfits and a modern, string orchestra.

 4.   Build my dream house. My husband and I have our dream land, now we just need to win the lottery (or I sell a lot of books!) in order to build our “final resting place.”

5. Along with number four, I’d like to adopt several rescue Westies and Scotties and give them their forever home.

Tell us about the genre you write, why do you love it and how did you get into it?

I write erotic romance. I can’t imagine writing a genre where people don’t love, have sex, and connect on a deep intimate level. I have always written stories in my head; in fact, the first Elite Doms of Washington book came to me in 1996. It wasn't until 2014 that I finally got it down! I took a six week sabbatical from work due to burnout, and I ended up writing the first draft. Let’s just say erotic romance can be quite therapeutic for both reader and writer.

What’s your most favorite restaurant in the world? Where, why and the best dish/es they make?

My most favorite restaurant is Momma’s Fish House in Maui. I don’t recall the exact entree I had, but it as fish and delicious. The desert I could never forget – The Black Pearl Chocolate mousse dessert.

Remember those ads for Expedia (if not, just play along) that asked, ‘If you could go anywhere in the world, but have to go right now?’ Where would you have gone and would you have said to YES to right now? What pulls and entices you to that country?

I’d drop everything (provided I could make time stand still here at home, so nothing would pile up!) to go on a yacht sailing trip in the Mediterranean. Notice, I wrote “yacht.” Extra luxurious, please.

What parts of you, are incorporated into your characters?

I’d say the independence in my heroines are definitely “me.” But, they are much braver than I am. They explore, stand up for themselves more than I do, and most definitely lay their heart on the line. Their desire to have a career and express themselves either through their job or other endeavor is probably like me, as well. Other than that, their lives are a whole lot more interesting than mine!

Favorite male hero/public figure you admire in the world, dead or alive, and why?

Tough one. Today I’ll say Bono. The man has used his life well – a musician, philanthropist and empowering force on humanitarian issues. He also spent a lot of time really getting to know the issues. He’s not a celebrity figure head.

Favorite female heroine/public figure you admire in the world, dead or alive, and why?

Eleanor Roosevelt. That woman created her life, from top to bottom, under the most difficult circumstances. Her level of service is unsurpassed, all while people made fun of her. Well, didn't she have the last laugh?

Can you tell I admire people who “use” their lives well?

Have you ever had a character just “do their own thing?” Have you ever had an argument with one of your characters? Or anything else odd happen?

OMG, yes. I’m having a battle right now with London Chantelle, the heroine in my second Elite Doms of Washington novel (out March 5, 2015). It turns out London has a masochistic streak. I did NOT see that coming. I kept asking her, “are you sure? I mean, like really, really sure?” She looked me dead in my mind’s eye and responded, “Hey, you’re the one who said characters have to ring true, right? So give Carson the cane. Now.” She’s my alpha sub.

What’s your passion in life?

Creating. I love to write, choreograph dance routines, throw dinner parties, decorate the house, you name it. Engaging in the “something-didn’t-exist-and-now-it-does” kind of creation is my most favorite thing in the world. P.S. I also am passionate about my dog, a little Westie. No one will ever love me as much as my dog.

What’s your writer’s routine? Do you write whenever or at certain times? Are you a pantser or plotter? Where do you like to write?

I can write for long stretches of time – like eight hours. But not every day allows for that. Given I have a full-time day job most of my writing is done on Sundays and evenings. I am NOT good at writing anything good in small increments. Hats off to the mommy-career woman writers who write at soccer games, at ballet practices and in the dead of night. I’m also a hybrid plotter/pantser. I start with a rough outline of the novel and then just start writing. It often ends up vastly different than anticipated. (See London Chantelle above.)

If you could pick a past life, what time period would appeal to you and why? Would you be male or female? Rich or poor?

If I could import hygiene practices and a personal space heater, I’d like to go back to the Viking era. Of course, this could just be my Eric Northman fantasies. :-) But, seriously, the idea of exploring the world with a tall, gorgeous, virile Viking by my side? Yummy. Oh, and most people don’t realize that women went with the men on voyages, fought with them, and basically had more equality than you’d see in an early civilization like that. Maybe that’s why the Scandinavian countries are light years ahead of us in women’s health, equality, and environmental issues?

LOVELY

Can you have love and power at the same time? At 19, Christiana Snow is about to find out. Always uncertain and shy, a chance encounter with Congressman Jonathan Brond could finally fulfill her longing for adventure. He proposes a summer of sexual submission that proves to be both rewarding and dangerous.

Jonathan, seductive and selfish, lures Christiana to his country home where he blindfolds and lashes her to his bed, slowly awakening her senses and her natural submissive desires.

He promises her many more unimagined pleasures over long, hot Washington summer weekends. But, she must be his exclusively and keep their relationship secret – especially from her father, Peter Snow, a well- known political reporter. Christiana agrees, sure her father would sacrifice even his daughter for a good story. He has never been the same since Christiana's mother died many years ago.

When Peter leaves Washington to cover the presidential primaries in neighboring states, Christiana believes it's a sign from the Universe that she is free to explore with no one watching her back. But, is she?

Christiana’s friend and budding socialite Avery Churchill has set her sights on Jonathan, sure they would be perfect together. Beautiful and vain Avery is not used to losing, and Christiana finds keeping her relationship with Jonathan from Avery, difficult at best.

While Christiana’s courage - and desires - grow under Jonathan’s intense sexual instruction, involving hard spankings, silk gags and being taken, everywhere, she wonders if she can keep up. Then when Jonathan uncovers other facets of his mountain home, revealing hidden, suspension units and unique sexual desires, she finally has to admit Jonathan’s proclivities may have a dark side.

TO S-HAVE OR NOT TO S-HAVE ~ That is the Question? Conversations with Spencer!

TO S-HAVE AND S-HAVE NOT! That is the Question

Aloha everyone!

Meg and Spencer here again in our Conversations with Spencer ramblings. J Thanks to all the readers. We appreciate your following. J

Well, I mentioned that we might look at the whole pubic hair issue this time.

I personally loathe the shaved look. Is it my culture, age group or what? I’m not sure.

I’m fifty-one and a young fifty-one, but it gives me the heebies. My best friend in New Zealand also thinks it’s weird. Most older Kiwis and Australians would find it a wee bit odd. So that suggests cultural to some degree.

What on earth??

Chocolate Kiwis? I've never heard of such a thing??

Until recently, the only people I knew who did it habitually were some gay men to make their penis look bigger. But I have another theory on that. More in a moment. I also had one Danish friend who shaved, but she was slightly younger.

I have spoken to a couple of non-erotica men in different age groups. My toyboy says he doesn’t mind either way, but he shaves because it’s expected of him. It took me DAYS to figure out what was ‘odd’ about his genitalia. LOL. I suddenly thought… Oh, no pubic hair.

Yeah…no! As we say in the old country.

The men I’ve spoken to, say on women it’s because you can see more.

If you spoke to my dad, he’d say, people have an unhealthy psychological, subconscious need to relate to women as little girls. Serious ick factor. And I wonder the same about gay men. Sometimes I think it’s something familiar. A replication of sexual experience at a young age… Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Not very nice. Major icky squicky factor there.

For me personally, it reminds me of little boys’ penises and/or some gay men. Neither of which are my thing sexually. Although, yes, I do like gay sex BUT I like the ones with pubic hair. LOL.

With no pubic hair, men are missing something very sexual for me. That sexy peak of pubic hair as the zipper comes down… Yum.

My best friend in New Zealand says her girls are shaving. She asked them if it was sexual, but they said it was because they wear little panties. How little are these panties I wonder? LOL. And it seems that EVERYONE in their age group does it? They’re 16 and 18.  

How tiny are these panties?

So it is one of those ‘trends,’ that comes and go? Americans in general seem to be more concerned with ‘hygiene’ things. It’s just hair?! So I don’t quite get this one. Are we going to make men shave their armpits next?

And here’s my other thing: some men don’t like shaved armpits. What do we think about that?  My dad (foremost authority on things. LOL) thinks it’s unnatural to not have body hair. Annette his partner, told him to get stuffed, she was not growing 2 inch long leg or underarm hair. LOL. But his ex partner Liz, used to have unshaved pits. I always remember her in a beautiful sparkly red evening dress. Then she lifted her arm for something and I thought… Ohhh. It jarred.

So, is it all culture, the times, personal preference, what?

SPENCER:

I had never thought much about this topic before. My mind immediately went in about five directions at once. Let me try to lasso a few of the rascals to the keyboard.

Isn't pubic hair strange in the first place? Why do we have it? It's so different from other body hair, why did we keep it as we were shedding our other primate hair. (Actually I think I heard we have the same number of hair follicles as the apes but a much different shape and texture.)

MEG:

Weird facts I’ve been reading about:

Pubic hair is often closest in color to the eyebrows. (Everyone's rushing off to have a peak down their jeans...)

A preference for hairless crotch in oneself or in another is known as acomoclitism.(Spencer: sounds like  disease Meg: Snorting with laughter.)

According to the Oxford Companion to the Body, in the 1450s women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat pubic lice and would then don a merkin or pubic wig.
Among the upper class in 19th-century Victorian Britian, pubic hair from one's lover was frequently collected as a souvenir. The curls were, for instance, worn like cockades in men's hats as potency talismans, or exchanged among lovers as tokens of affection.
The museum of St. Andrews University in Scotland has in its collection a snuffbox full of pubic hair of one of King George IV's mistresses.

The Snuff Box with the pubic hair in it. It must have been considered super sexy??! :-) 

Some definitions of pubic looks:

Natural and untrimmed pubic hair. Extends onto thighs.

American wax—hair limited to the bikini area. Also trimmed shorter.

French wax—waxing with a "landing strip". Labia are cleared.

Full Brazilian or the Sphinx—a full waxing. No hair at all.

No one seems to have a clear cut answer as to why we have it. I always thought it had some role in keeping the sex organs warm. Or it could be that they trap and release the pheromones in the body. The same for armpit hair, increasing sexual attraction to a mate. Which makes you wonder then if we’re missing some of our sexuality with the purging of pubic hair.  

And if you’re going to throw the ‘hygiene’ angle at me: Quote: from Emily Gibson in The Guardian. “It is a sadly misconceived war. Long ago, surgeons figured out that shaving a body part prior to surgery actually increased, rather than decreased, surgical site infections.” 

This is backed up by quite a few health care people who are seeing an increase in infections of various kinds, some very nasty, from lack of pubic hair.

Apparently it also helps keep the friction down during sex and one gyno says, that she’s seen some pretty nasty cases of ‘rug burn.’

So all in all…I’m glad to be following my instincts on it.
Regardless of health or anything else, it still turns me off. I find it slightly repulsive and extremely sexually unappealing. All my hero’s either get to grow their pubic hair back or a couple of shaved testicles, but that’s my limit. My men must have a ‘top beard’ as someone put it. J I personally like furry wee balls, rather gorgeous. But you know… that’s one of my kinks. LOL.

SPENCER:

We have already been through my lack of erotic interest in the male figure. Shaving seems to be a requirement of the porno films. I don't know why. (Meg: I think this is the perception that it makes the penis look bigger. I never think it does. It just looks silly to me and like it’s half dressed. Like a man going out in his shirt and tie with socks, and no trousers on. Most peculiar!!!) 

See what I mean? Yes, and not helped by the less than sexy underpants! Agreed. 

My interest is with the ladies. Here I have some recent personal experience.

My very hot wife had her first waxing over a year ago as a surprise for me. I really liked it for a variety of reasons. I'm 64, the decline in my sexual powers is noticeable. I'm not reaching for the blue pill yet, but I'm not the man I was (that's not all bad). Once of my motives for exploring my fascination with sex and the allure of the female via erotic fiction is I want to remain a sexual being. Waxing was stepping way out the box for my wife. The fact that she would do that for me was very touching. A big part of the appeal is that it made her feel sexy. That's good news for me.

My wife is an attractive, curvaceous woman about to turn 59. When people see us together I imagine them saying 'he must be rich'. She is continuously mistaken for someone much younger.  While she is attractive and fit, she has suffered from depression for as long as we have known each other. The demons eat at the self image of the sufferer and the medicine dampens the libido. Anything that makes her feel sexy: lingerie, clothes, shoes, hair, nails, pedicures—I'm for all of it. She claims sex is much more pleasurable without the pubic hair. She's never been able to really express why. Doesn't matter.  Case closed for me. Wax on wax off.

 I have offered to return the favor but she's not interested. I'm good with that.

MEG:

I’m sorry your wife suffers from depression Spencer. That’s such a hard thing to deal with and so more power to you and her, with the shaved look. Could you ask her please why she doesn’t want YOU to shave?

SPENCER: She says she like the feeling against her skin.

MEG: Oh, okay, that’s interesting. I’m trying to think if I like that. Yes, I do actually. And I love the way it looks. Good. So far, I have four women in the world (including myself) who support pubic hair on men. LOL. No, make that five now, we’ll throw in your wife, seeing as she likes it on you. J And I picked up another avid fan on Twitter tonight.

SPENCER:

Sometimes I wonder if it is we erotic writers who have moved the cultural needle toward baring the genitals, especially with women. When was the last time your read a passage that waxed (hee hee) lustfully about a large patch of public hair on a woman? It's all about "her shaved pussy glistening with her love juice." Again from the standpoint of horny guy, it really doesn't matter, if a woman is presenting her sex, we’re in.

MEG:

Me, me! My books have full pubic hair in them. LOL. And my men like them. From Charlie:

‘She’s gorgeous, very voluptuous and has full pubic hair. I must be getting slightly long in the tooth because I don’t like the shaved look. Some of these women look like plucked chickens. It reminds me of fucking a child. Henry and I agree.’

I also recently spoke to Elizabeth Safleur, another romance erotica writer and she ALSO likes pubic hair. Possibly she and I are the ONLY women on the US Continent who feel this way, so I’m not a completely lone voice. LOL (oh, and your wife! Gather the troops!)

SPENCER:

Vagina's are captivating. I'm sorry to say that for most guys, at least of my generation, sex is something that happens under the covers, in the dark with eyes closed. A vagina is a target we hit blindly. We never really see it. We are too close if our partner likes cunnilingus. It's back to our previous discussion(s) of men not really knowing their way around a woman's sexual needs and triggers.

It's not all guys fault. As liberated as we all try to be, women bring a host of negative body issues into the bedroom. If the hang ups that have been foisted upon both men and women aren't enough, throw in children. They kill spontaneity and force sex to late night clandestine activity with the foreplay consisting of a call to "brace yourself". 

MEG:

Yes, well, I’ve always thought children were the perfect form of birth control myself. J

I agree that the opening up of sexuality still has a long way to go. I doubt I really knew what was what, until I got into my forties. Well, that’s a lot of sexual years previously, that it was a largely mysterious affair of both men and women’s working parts. Not good.

Growing up, I doubt many men I went out with had even heard of the clitoris, and they definitely weren’t asking for directions to it. Having a length of time by myself after my second marriage helped me, in that I got brave enough to buy a vibrator. One 'adult ladies a titter' sex toy party and possibly a few too Margaritas at the time and I owned my first vibrator. Now, I feel the same way that Karl Malden did about his Amex card.

I also ended up with my older lover and he was the one that really taught me so much about my own body and what made it hum like a violin.

I have no explanation for the phobia about armpit hair. It seems to be more of an American trait. I like it. It hits of the animal nature we have and supposedly aids in the broadcast of pheromones. I'm all for pheromones. Maybe we wouldn't need the blue pill, if more pheromones were wafting about.

MEG:

Well, it’s worth a thought, isn’t it. I’d like to see more people using bioidentical hormones, replacing what our body is no longer producing. And it seems such a waste to have a low libido when we’re still healthy and active in other ways. I personally am in favor of natural progesterone cream for any women over about 37, when our natural progesterone starts dropping off, not the high level estrogens which are touted. We need progesterone for hormones levels of every kind, not to mention, brain function and healthy brain chemistry etc. But do not get me started on this. Email me if you want to know more about it. Or grab one of John Lee’s books. He’s the God on this stuff.

And for men, testoterone cream, to replace what their body isn’t producing as much of now. (Spencer:Except breasts on men, hair on women and children) Rubbish Spencer. You’re not using half a tube at a time. You’re using a teaspoon or so. The normal amount the body used to produce and isn’t any more!! And about a million times healthy than the blue pill. Proper amounts of bioidentical hormones keep people young, active and vital. Good for mens body health, mental and emotional health) Nothing weird or steroidy in any of this. Just things that we’re being depleted of. Like not getting enough thyroid or insulin. Our bodies NEED it to stay healthy, active and alive.

End of lecture from me! LOL.

Okay, have we brought about world peace, solved an existential crisis, or worked out how to get to Venus and back… No. But it’s been fun nonetheless. LOL. We’re always looking for new topics to poke around in. So if anyone ever wants to write in and suggest one, go ahead. We’ll definitely consider it. J

On our next Conversations with Spencer, we thought we might er…tackle…the question of penis size. Does it matter? To whom? Do people ever tell the truth when asked questions like “Am I big enough for you?” And other er…lengthy questions. 

Okay, I’ll acting the goat, but it’s an interesting subject anyway. And a very male subject to some degree.

Thanks for coming over and visiting us once again, listening to our ramblings on love, sex and relationships.


Aloha, until next time. Meg and Spencer. J

Alix Richards - Excellent interview with Twin flames/Twin souls author. Romance erotica writer!!

Aloha and a big welcome to fellow romance erotica Muse It Up writer Alix Richards and member of The Lush and Blush Club on fb!! 

Alix writes about the deep mysteries and connection of twin flames or twin souls. A subject that always is close to my own heart. Travel through the mystical and heart felt journey in her books. Follow Joy and Jairo through their soul connection and unbreakable bond. She's also just released a new story through Muse It  Up Publishing Gods’ Stones: Dark Jewel

Tell our readers a wee bit about yourself. What are 5 things you wished you’d done, have done or are still to do, on the Bucket List? J

1. Physically meet my flame-mate (know him, but haven’t stood in front of him yet). Yep, I’m a believer. :-)

 2. Travel to all the historical places in the world.

3. Visit Hawaii

4. Travel around the country without the worry of money holding me back (is that two? LOL).

5. Find the fountain of youth, or gift of immortality (that will eventually stop once I’ve seen everything), because there isn’t enough time to do all I’d like too. Just sayin’…

Tell us about the genre you write, why do you love it and how did you get into it?

Erotic romance with paranormal elements and fantasy tendencies. I fell into Erotic romance completely by accident. Just so happens, my characters are intensely passionate with one another and that puts them in erotic romance. I have to say I love it because there really aren’t a whole lot of rules, which works great for the sort of writer I am.

What’s your most favorite restaurant in the world? Where, why and the best dish/es they make?

I’m not really a foodie. Although, most places that serve pizza are up there. I mean, who doesn’t LOVE pizza? LOL

Remember those ads for Expedia (if not, just play along) that asked, ‘If you could go anywhere in the world, but have to go right now?’ Where would you have gone and would you have said to YES to right now? What pulls and entices you to that country?

England. Cause from there I could have also visit Scotland and Ireland. Three birds with one stone as they say. History. There is a rich history in the British Isles.

What parts of you, are incorporated into your characters?

Their perseverance, I’d have to say. My characters don’t let things go just because it’s not within societal norms. I’m the same way. I’m odd like that. I don’t follow the flock or herd. I’m my own person and hope that’s conveyed in my characters, as in THEY don’t follow everyone else just because it’s what is the norm.

Favorite male hero/public figure you admire in the world, dead or alive, and why?

Don’t have one per se. I’m more of the type that tends to admire those who stand up for what they believe in and what’s right. Not just what’s right for a select few but for humans as a whole. Without race and gender getting in the way. So I guess one person would be Martin Luther King Jr. Everyone is equal.

  

Favorite female heroine/public figure you admire in the world, dead or alive, and why?

The same as above. So all those activists in generations past that fought for equal right for women. Susan B. Anthony comes to mind.

Have you ever had a character just “do their own thing?” Have you ever had an argument with one of your characters? Or anything else odd happen?

Yes! All the time. *sigh* I swear they think they’re the ones in control. LOL Example: Originally, when I conceived the ideas that have now become Twin Flames, Gods’ Stones and the other upcoming series’, the first book was supposed to be the deities getting together and unlocking the flame-mates that are in the books I have out now and coming soon. It turned into what is now. 

The deities are meeting and bringing about divine mates only to separate and come back together again. Their story isn’t the first one because neither my goddess or god would agree to disagree and just get together as I wanted. Luckily, I was able to rearrange things and still bring about the divine mates returning to the people. And yes, each of them gave me that smug like as if they’d thought of it first. LOL

What’s your passion in life?

Writing, music, reading, my children and grandson (only one right now).

What’s your writer’s routine? Do you write whenever or at certain times? Are you a pantser or plotter? Where do you like to write?

Writer’s routine…can’t say I really have one. If an idea has bitten me, I’ll write until I pass out (key imprinted on my forehead and drool pooled on the tabletop, I know, ewww! LOL.)

On a normal day, I hop through my email accounts, responding and whatnot. Eventually I make my way to my other social accounts and while all that’s going on I’m waiting for coffee to brew (staple diet for us writers I swear. LOL). At some point I open the folders holding my current WIP’s (yes, I always have more than one going at a time). Usually, when I have my mug in hand I’m glancing through my works until one snaps my heels. There are times when I don’t have to look, I just know which one is in demand.

I’m a total pantser. I can’t plot to save my life. Okay, okay, so I CAN plan a little…very little. Not enough to be considered a plotter though. I plot just enough to keep the series in line with the books that came before and those that will follow.

Right now, I’m in the living room with everyone else. So distractions are a constant companion. Whether it be from a person, phone ringing, movie or just flat out interesting situation happening around. Eventually, I’ll get myself moved into my office. As soon as my son is moved out…again. LOL

If you could pick a past life, what time period would appeal to you and why? Would you be male or female? Rich or poor?

The era around 10,000 BCE in North America, the peace that would’ve been in life at that time. Yes, I know about the animals and whatnot. But can you imagine looking in every direction and seeing nothing but nature all around? The plants and natural landscape. It would be the most beautiful thing in the world. 

I would chose to be a female, now if I could then chose a male in the next life that would be great too. Getting a view of life before all the rules and regulations that have governed our lives for the past two thousand years would be awesome. At that time in history there really wasn’t rich or poor. But if that were the case (as we don’t know a whole lot about that time in human history) I would pick the richer side. Or rather the ruling class.

Alix is a prolific writer. You can find her series on twinsouls/flames at Muse or Amazon, plus her new series. 

 Twin Flames: Soul Bound (Twin Flames Book One)

In an effort to escape the reality that steps from the deepest recesses of her mind, Joy runs away for a long weekend alone in a friend’s cabin. She hopes to use the time to gain a logical perspective on an impossible situation.

Joy lives in her dreams, but no longer lives there alone.

Jairo needs Joy to be happy, even if it comes at his expense. Forced to remain patient, he walks away from the woman of his heart and soul. He confines himself to his family’s cabin to give Joy the time alone she requests.

Dreaming with Joy isn’t new, but waking with her physically in his arms, sexy and wet, kicks Jairo’s desire for her into a new stratosphere.

Confusing dreams and unexplainable reality drops them into attack mode, neither quite ready for what destiny pushes their way. As nature and destiny collide for both, Joy and Jairo, nothing will be the same.

 Twin Flames: Soul Memory (Twin Flames Book Two)

An accident wipes away Joy Lyons-Morgan's memories, but she's haunted by visions and dreams of a man she loves unconditionally. How will she find him without even knowing who she is?

Jairo Silverthorne understands his and Joy's struggles over being Twin Flames. They mirror and magnify each other in everything, including positives and negatives. So, where is she and why can't she hear his need?

Separated and alone, can Twin Flames find their way back to each other with only soul memories to light their way?

 Twin Flames: Soul Destiny (Twin Flames Book Three)

Destiny of the Soul…If you knew your soul designed your destiny, would you follow the path? What if all you had to do was face the deepest darkest fears within yourself to claim your destiny, would you do it?
