| Our Authors, in their own words: |
| Julius What's an erotic writer? Julius thinks, quite unashamedly, that he's one. Julius is a pen name, right? Why? Well, initially the real Julius was a tad shy of family and friends finding out about his literary kink. Now I don't care who knows, but Julius has somehow acquired a life of his own and refuses to leave the stage. He's on the wrong side of sixty and still demonstrably male. He's retired after a lifetime in aviation. An Englishman and Canadian, more the latter now, and living in Maritime Canada. Father twice, grandfather four times, separated some eight years and currently living in delicious and long overdue sin. He's been writing erotic stories for better than three years. Nearly two hundred. All unpublished (sigh!) save for a few in the archives of ERWA (there's even a picture there!) [Editor's note: Julius is also very modest - being archived in ERWA means he is and has been published on that prestigious site, and now he's published here too!] Julius loves: cats (but doesn't have any), Indian food, steam engines, England's canals, Beatle Music, Diana Gabaldon's books, engaging in sex with his Mistress, Aspire. (In fact the last is by far the best). Those stories? Just ask, anybody who writes likes nothing better than to be read. |
| Aspire Aspire hails from Nova Scotia, Canada, proudly embodying all the good and bad characteristics of a maritime Canadian. A sense of humor is her best asset. She has traced her family back to Fair Isle, Scotland, which may explain her stubborn streak and her love of Diana Gabaldon's books. A former teacher of the deaf, and family counselor, Aspire now spends her days reading and writing erotica. No surprise to anyone who knows her - sex education was her favorite teaching subject. When she isn't writing, reading or thinking about sex, she manages to spend time with her two children, her partner and assorted friends. During bouts of domesticity she has been known to bake, make quilts, knit sweaters, cross-stitch, and sew corsets (her favorite piece of lingerie). She sees her life as one long project still in the making. Aspire has been writing erotica for three years. Her work can be seen at Sensual Venus and in the galleries of ERWA. |
