Two decades ago LISABET SARAI experienced a serendipitous fusion of her love of writing and her fascination with sex. Since then she has published nearly one hundred erotic titles, including the classic RAW SILK. She edited the acclaimed anthologies SACRED EXCHANGE and CREAM and is currently responsible for the altruistic erotica series COMING TOGETHER PRESENTS.

Lisabet holds more degrees than anyone needs from prestigious universities who would no doubt be embarrassed by her chosen genre. She loves to travel and currently lives in Southeast Asia with her highly tolerant husband and two cosmopolitan felines. For more information on Lisabet and her writing visit Lisabet Sarai's Fantasy Factory (http://www.lisabetsarai.com) or her blog Beyond

I've got a long list--or a big pile, depending on how you look at it!

Most are not romance or erotica; I tend to read that opportunistically, often for reviews. The books I'm hoping to read include:

The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman
Reamde by Neal Stephenson
Two Years, Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie
The Harder They Come by T.C. Boyle
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
Leaving Lucy Pear by Anna Solomon

... Not to mention the 100+ titles on my want to read shelf!

But I am always open to recommendations.(less)

There was a lot of divorce in my family, so when it came to marriage I was quite cynical. Yet somehow I fell into a fulfilling, exciting relationship with a fantastic guy - still going strong.

Of course this wouldn't provide much of plot for a mystery, but I think it might make a fine romance!(less)

Youknow, I always start with a plot in my head, but by the time I get towriting, and I begin to really know my characters, I find they directthe story. I call myself a typist taking dictation for the two maincharacters, since they tell me which direction to take the story LOL.

SometimesI even have the blurb already written, and then it requires changingor tw

“Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
Lisabet Sarai

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”
Robert A. Heinlein

“We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anaïs Nin

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
