I’m not published with New York, so you can call me unpublished if you want. I feel like I have a lot in common with other unpublished writers!

Now I finally understand the mystery. At first I thought you weren’t published yet – because I assumed any published author would promote her work on her blog, and I couldn’t find yours. Then I read a different post about serials, which referred to your being on number six. I pondered your lists of interests in several places, many of which don’t list writing first. Yet your about section on this blog referred to you as a traveling writer, not piano teacher.

I’m looking forward to any future work you feel like linking to from here. Congratulations once again!

My proudest moments as a writer are when kids and their parents have read my book and bring it to me to sign. I practically explode with pride. It’s beyond corny.

For me, I’m very much of the to-each-his-own mentality. I’ve never felt like promoting my pseudonym’s books, and generally don’t, because I figure the people who love what I write about will find me, and the people who don’t are happier not finding me.

Myself, I wouldn’t worry about what people would think if I wrote erotica. It’s fiction. But the important thing about sex, and some do tend to forget this, that it is part of a normal, healthy adult relationship. The kinky S&M stuff isn’t normal.

I do think I should be more open, and I won’t be devastated if it gets out, but for the time being, I gotta self-protect my work’s honesty and my future Plan B. If I ever return to teaching little kids, I just don’t think it would be good. And seeing as how that’s my only other marketable skill, LOL…

But I do plan on writing stuff I can put my real name on and share a-plenty!

Thanks, Elizabeth!
