"I am shocked and appalled at the treatment that erotic literature has gotten recently."

    "For historical romance, authors are lauded for their extensive research. However, history books are only secondary sources, therefore one step removed from the true history. Primary sources would require finding the actual words of your character, but since they are fictional, alas that is not possible. With erotica, serious authors such as myself are able to do first-hand research, and professional that I am, I do as much research as possible, as often as possible.

    My husband is of course quite proud of my diligence, and will happily tell you so, once he has sufficiently recuperated.”

    Chellesie B. Dancer enjoys writing contemporary, historical, and erotic romance with a sprinkling of comedy. She’s a member of RWA, and the Los Angeles chapter (LARA), and has published articles in the LARA Confidential. Her personal passion is natural healing–her characters improve their health along with their love lives. Other than writing, she entertains at parties as an MC, a clown, and occasionally a dancing gorilla. She’s the mother of three beautiful boys and an assortment of other critters. Luckily her husband cooks!
