Here I sit staring at the cover for Wind Howl asking myself, not so much how this story came out of me, but how I can kick my heroine to the road and slide under my hero's broad chest so his hands are in my hair and his lips on mine. Sigh.
At the moment real life is about the two less than hunky men on my roof. They're pounding nails or whatever they use to hold shingles in place because a freak hail storm a couple of months ago did a number on the original roof. Yeah for homeowners insurance! Although its Sunday they're going to be pounding all day, but do I care? Not really because my work day will consist of tapping into my imagination, specifically my sexual fantasies.
For me, and for the majority of erotic romance writers I know, we do what we do because we need to give life to our sexual fantasies. If you've read any of Vonna Harper's work, you know she digs capture and bondage but not BDSM. And if Vonna isn't on your must read list, now you know. Capture scenarios prime my personal pump. Give me time and opportunity to conjure up images of me (a young and svelte me) running from a shadowy male figure only to have him bring me to the ground and wrap his powerful arms around me and--well, I'll let your imagination supply the zone I quickly find myself in.
Of course in real life being captured by a stranger would have me needing clean underwear, but the man of my imagination is obsessed with me. He MUST have me. His only goal in life is to stroke every inch of my naked body while--
Pant, pant, where was I?
So there you have it, the nugget that gets my creativity started. No matter how many times I plug into my sexual fantasies, it works. I want to write about what's rattling around inside me and heating me.
This brings me to why I confessed the above. I'd love, absolutely love to hear about other women's sexual fantasies (yep, this is all about us women). What turns your crank? I confess I have an ulterior motive for asking the question: I'd love to compile those fantasies in some form and offer them to people who come to my website. I won't be keeping the email addresses and hope you'll feel free to confess all knowing your identity will remain your business.

It seems to me that what I'm currently reading becomes my sexual fantasy at the time. Of course, I supply the people playing the characters because the book becomes a movie in my head and I don't care how the author describes the character. I see a character as a certain person. Right now most of my characters are members of Celtic Thunder. Love their looks, their singing, their Irish accents.
