Guest Post & Giveaway with Author Sarah Kate

Today I want to welcome Sarah Kate.....

 

When it comes to erotica the physical side of things might be more the focus, the thing that everyone perhaps comes to erotica for, as opposed to romance, but I enjoy the use of feelings and sensations to experience who the characters are, good or evil, to give them more substance in their roles.

    Erotica does draw me in, though I don't read it in masses. The genre can be a hit or miss for me. Often it seems more two robots going through the motions in a sterile way, yet at the same time being "over the top".  Part of my attraction to erotica is because by reading good erotic fiction we can see how other humans deal with their own sexuality, allowing us to explore more into the sexual mind of others. By writing erotic fiction we can express our own sexual uniqueness, but also, depict wild and dark sexual thoughts, allowing us to take a glimpse into that world, and still be “normal people" when we walk away from it.
    I enjoy realistic depictions of emotion whatever the circumstance. Sometimes graphic or explicit language is entirely necessary to achieve this, other times it can risk ruining it. It's up to the writer to choose artistically what's needed for each scene, we just have to hope that it works for us as well.

    Regardless of genre, I want to be drawn into the story. For me,
that doesn't mean the plot has to be comparable to that of something on the New York Times best-seller list, but it must still have something there.  I enjoy the characters. Their emotions, reactions, and sensations all have to be relevant and believable.  I like something to have developed by each sexual encounter, so it's not just sex for the sake sex. Although, I have to say, sometimes sensation for the sake of sensation can be wonderful, in bed or on paper.

For the book give-away, I can simply email the eBook to whom ever the winner is.  Unfortunately since Amazon has blocked PWSC, we can't offer a direct to kindle option, though the winner can still side-load it of course :)
