Author Leslie Reed Shares Their Story
I admin by day and write by night. I came across erotica in my early twenties. A lover loaned me two books: Story of O & Venus in Furs. A cliche set of books for the more experienced erotica reader, but I was of the uninitiated. Also, I was raised by strict Christians. The only full length novel I read up to that point in my life was a high school summer reading assignment, The Good Earth. After erotica opened my eyes to the power of fiction and its ability to move the senses, I was hooked. I explored less genre specific fiction and started reading more traditional literature.
I never stopped writing erotica. It is only recently that I began to publish thanks to the wonderful invention of ebooks. I love to connect to my readers. Please leave reviews for my work. Feel free to contact me. Do not take it personally if I don’t get back to you. I’m writing and working full time.
