the reason Second Door on the Right exists

someone told me that an author is suppose to use their blog to tell people about their books and where they got the inspiration for the story.
well honestly because i didn't think about sex and my then boyfriend now husband wanted me to.
i tried everything to be more interested but still switching mind sets from single mom to girlfriend/wife wasn't easy. sex just wasn't a thought.
stumbling around on the internet one day i found the now defunct erotica.net it was a great free site with quality erotica. a place people actually spell checked their work and it didn't look like it was written in a foreign language and translated in to three others before being translated into english.
I found that hey after i read a story or two there i was actually thinking about sex. So i kept reading and kept reading. And he was happy.
But after reading for months i found a problem. I am pagan (i believe in more than one god and she's a chick) all the pagan/witch stories weren't about pagans they were about hollywood witches. Spells, incantations and demons. I wanted a witch like me, couldn't find a SINGLE one. So I said fuck it and started to write my own. The idea also was that if i wrote it for my husband and i, we could read it together and we would both be thinking about sex at the same time. That didn't work out for years but hey... it took me 8 years to finish the story so oh well.
now to book is finished the cover is done and hes read it. to bad no one else is.

off to try and drum up some more business
