Elena Nix is an author of erotic fiction. A lifetime love of literature and a very naughty mind proved to be the perfect combination for elevated erotica. Her imagination has some dark twists and frequently, her books do, too. When she's not wrangling wayward characters or taming twisted plots, her favorite place to be is curled up on the couch with her assortment of dogs, cats, and one husband, writing stories on her laptop that would make a succubus blush.
What inspired you to write your book?
The WItch of Rosemary Lane was inspired by the beautiful autumn weather, a perpetually dirty mind, and the question, "What is a witch?"
Here is a short sample from the book:
They stood side by side at the porch rail. The light of the sun was long gone, but the stars were bright. Crickets layered chirping melodies over each other’s songs and a barred owl called in the distance. The night was pleasantly cool, but Connor worried that Felina might get cold in her sheer dress.
All through dinner, he had been trying not to think about her dress, or more accurately, what her dress was only partially concealing. If not for her long hair falling over her breasts, he was sure he would have been able to make out the darkened circles of her aureoles. He kept catching himself watching for a glimpse of an outlined nipple when she moved, but her hair had stayed stubbornly in place.
Now that she was standing within arm’s reach, he wanted badly to make a move. He hesitated only because she had been neither coy nor flirtatious over dinner. He was enjoying her company and didn’t want to ruin anything by being presumptuous. In the end, though, desire won out. He slipped an arm around her back and molded a hand to the curve of her waist. To his delight, she tilted her head to rest it against his shoulder.
“What are you thinking about?” she asked after a while.
He turned to look at her. Her face was pale and serene in the starlight. He raised a hand to her cheek and leaned close. “This.”
He tilted her face up toward his and kissed her. The soft fullness of her lips yielded easily to his. Her fingers curled around his arm as his hand settled on the small of her back, pulling her body firmly against his. He deepened the kiss. Her soft moans were driving him crazy and he couldn’t get enough of her mouth. As his tongue slipped in to probe her mouth, her hips shifted forward. She made little hungry sounds as she sucked at his tongue.
The eagerness of her response was beyond anything he had anticipated and he wanted more. He drew back, breaking the kiss. She looked up at him. Her parted lips were moist and swollen from his kisses. Her gaze dropped from his eyes to his mouth and the pink tip of her tongue flicked across her lower lip.
“Felina?”
“Hmmm?"
“Take me to your bedroom.”
Without a word, she reached for his hand and led him back inside, through the house, up the stairs, and down a hallway. At the end of the hall, she dropped his hand and disappeared into a dark room. He heard a click and the room lit up with the soft glow from a lamp on a bedside table.
Felina stood beside the bed with the light of the lamp behind her setting her hair aglow. The lower curves of her breasts were visible through her dress, and he could see a hint of darker color where her hardened nipples pushed against the fabric. Further down, he saw the indent of her belly button and then the deeply shadowed triangle between her thighs. If she was wearing panties, he saw no evidence of them. It was a beautiful dress, but he wanted to rip it off of her.
Joining her beside the bed, he cupped her cheek and ran the pad of his thumb back and forth over her lower lip.
“Kiss me?” she asked.
He pulled her to him and kissed her. Her arms came up to circle his neck as his hands roamed her back and sides. The tip of her tongue played teasingly against his lips until he tilted her head back and captured her mouth in a deep, hungry kiss that left her breathless. He found her dress’s zipper and eased it down. She shivered lightly as he ran his hand over her bare back.
“Take your dress off. Let me look at you.”

Sunspots by Karen S. Bell @KarenSueBell
Sunspots follows the healing journey of a young woman thrown into the horror of losing a spouse. It is a story of loss and redemption and the ghosts that haunt our lives and our houses. A love story, a romance, and a mystery of sorts, Sunspots, is above all an exploration into the psyche and emotional arc of the MC and it follows no formula.
Snapshot:
“One can never be, and should never be, smug about life,” says Aurora Goldberg. An aspiring New York actress who has never realized her dreams, Aurora keeps herself afloat by doing odd temp jobs where her rich fantasy life helps her get through the day. Aurora sees the world through the lens of characters in literature and film and these fictionalizations are woven into her interpretation of reality. On one of her temp assignments she meets Jake Stein, a man who could “charm the skin off a snake” and she decides to follow her destiny as his wife in Austin, Texas. But Jake’s sudden death after two short years disintegrates her world and Aurora must reevaluate her life and let go of a love that has become an obsession.
Sunspots takes the reader on a journey of high emotion as Aurora uncovers Jake’s secret life and her own internal conflicts as she matures to self-awareness. Narrated by Aurora, the novel’s tone vacillates from irreverent humor to solemnity as she relates her previous life with Jake and her present challenges. The title refers to the solar maximum which became the backdrop for Aurora’s conception when her hippy parents went to Canada to observe the Aurora Borealis. In name and in spirit, Aurora is connected to the observable and unobservable energy around us.
With the help of friends, family, and the ghost of Viola Parker (her home’s original owner), Aurora accepts her fate and the secrets revealed about Jake’s true character. She realizes that in this life she will finally break the cycle of pain caused by her love for this man, Jake Stein, through the centuries.
Embedded in the novel is the question of the afterlife and paranormal events abound. The incidents are left vague enough so the reader is not certain if they are external events witnessed by Aurora or exist only in her own mind. My approach to the extraordinary has always been with keen interest and skepticism. Just as we cannot see unaided that at the quantum level solid objects consist of vast spaces and swirling particles, so too, we define our human existence with only our limited five senses, three dimensional orientation, and our perceived space/time continuum. So then, what can one say with any certainty is reality?

Amatore’s Restaurant by James Sillwood
It is the end of another successful year for the Recreative Theatre Company and the cast have arranged to meet at Amatore’s Restaurant for their end-of-season dinner.
As the evening progresses, each guest recalls a past sexual liaison. In these recollections we are transported to a variety of locations; the rolling countryside of Brittany to the brown cafés of Amsterdam, from the grandeur of Venice to the slums of Marseilles.
The stories describe various situations: Prudence relates her encounters on a train journey and Colin makes a surprising discovery when he settles down to watch his favourite film. Some characters are driven by self-interest: the sociopath Nicole with her reckless behaviour towards her trusting nephew, and Colette who takes advantage of her unsuspecting tenant.
A common theme unfolds: the hidden truths behind the motives for seduction. As the evening comes to a close, old alliances are re-kindled, new attachments are formed, while others are broken. Frustrations rise to the surface as truths are revealed. For some the evening is a great success, for others a disaster.
