It's All Good!

About Me

Howdy, My name is S. Valentine King. I'm seasoned American traveler, who writes erotica and poetry during the free moments in life. I reside in Miami, Florida sharing company with good friends. I'm a Capricorn. "The Good Parts: erotic poetry for women" is my second book of poetry. Currently I am working on my first novel, "The Hope Chest." I'm also in the process of writing a fiction novel about Drag Kings.
I love opera and think there is nothing sexier than a woman playing the violin. I'm biased towards the fairer sex. My car is named Lady Grey. I have a pet rock, a ladybug. I was born in Iowa and moved around a lot growing up. I've visited every state in the USA except HI and anywhere in the Northeast north of PA. I've lived in IA, CA, AK, DC, VA, TN, KN, OH and currently reside in South Florida where the weather is oh so nice. I love storms. I'm German and English and Native American. I love playing my Wii. I don't write as much as I like to or should. I love working out when I motivate myself to do so. I also love snorkeling- there's nothing like going down, under. I like taking macro photos of ordinary, weathered things or places playing with light (check out my cool photos album to see what I'm talking about). I also love going to the theatre and the movies. I'm looking forward to seeing 'Wicked' and 'Avenue Q' this year.
If I have requested to add you as a friend, I'm NOT trying to be a myspace ho'... I just want to share my poetry and writing with you and think you are interesting!
In Curve Magazine, "The Good Parts: erotic poetry for women" was reviewed by Colleen McCaffrey who stated it was 'a mature, powerful voice of erotic poetry, King eloquently delivers words with decadent substance and titillating style. The ardor and arousal of these poems elicit cannot be contained between the lines- or the sheets, for that matter.'
