Pollygraph (interviews with erotica authors): Shiralyn J Lee

Why erotica?
I love to put into writing my secret desires and fantasies and unlock my hidden secrets.

What kinds of erotica do you write?
I write mostly for the lesbian comunity and my work has now delved into the fetish life of BDSM.

Tell us about your experiences as an erotica author. What have the big challenges and successes been?
I have found myself looking ino a world that until recently had been hidden from me, what I mean by that is I knew this kind of thing existed but I didn't understand it. The biggest challenge has been getting over my guilty feelings when I research the web, it would be nice if my wife involved herself more and gave me her insight. The success I personally feel is that I have been able to be more open about talking to people that I know in regards to the subject of my genre.

Do you write in other genres, too?
My work revolves around lesbians, BDSM, and Vampires, all are erotic and explicit. Anyway why would I want to write about any other genre?? I'm having so much fun in this catagory.

Do the people around you know what you write? How have they reacted, or how would they react?
Yes I am always talking about my books and discussing how I should name my next title.

Tell us about your most recent titles.
My next and most recent titles are SEX, BONDAGE and BRANDING; Ade is eager to be a mistress and is invited into the secret world of fetish BDSM. Tzar with many years of exprience in this field allows Ade to watch as she punishes her own slave, teaching her how to be a dominatrix. Tia is a submissive and has wanted Ade to be her mistress ever since she first saw her. When the two meet they form a bond and perfect their own sexual fantasies.

SEX, POWER and INTIMACY, 3 Short stories:

SEX: April being the main character is the girl who is blindfolded throughout her entire ordeal, her introduction into BDSM is an unusual experience but she happens to take to this life quite easily.

POWER: Is about Tess and Morgan; already in a relationship, things are taken to a different level when Tess allows Morgan to be sexually fulfilled by total strangers. The main scene takes place in a private carpark late at night where couples sit in their cars and watch as Morgan is taken by different women.

INTIMACY: Is based on Max and Jay; after meeting in a bar they soon form a sexual bond where BDSM and sexual fantasies are carried out.

Do you have a favourite, or favourites, among your stories?
My favourite story is Vampire Changeling. I had such passion when I wrote this. The outline of the story actually came to me in a dream, and then I researched Vlad and found out that he had a daughter named Zaleska, she was my twist into turning this into a lesbian theme. Then I included real life events such as The Great Frost of 1709 and the Battle of Malplaquet, using them as tools to support my story. This story is hot, sexy and will leave you wanting more.

How do you normally go about writing an erotic story? Is there much, ahem, research involved...?
I research the heck out of things, I have a need to know things, I watch videos, read the about true life incidents. I search the web for BDSM forums, and equipment. I have such admiration for these girls when they become submissive and allow their mistress to torture them freely.

Do you have any favourite erotica authors?
My favourite authors are Pat Califia and Suzie Bright.

And finally, what can we expect to see from you soon?
I am currently working on two stories, SEX, ROPES and CHAINS, yes another BDSM work and I'm also working on a collection of ghost stories with just a little bit of naughty scenes involved.
