Aurora Black: Erotic Food for Thought

About Me


Official Phaze Bio:
(Updated April 2008)
Aurora Black is a self-proclaimed “dark, passionate and evil storyteller” who made her erotic literary debut in late 2006 with Phaze . She got her start at Literotica , where she learned the basics of the writing trade and gained the experience & confidence to turn professional.
An erotica writer by night and a student of criminal forensics during the day, Aurora uses her vivid imagination combined with glamorized life experiences as material for her works. Her six year tenure in exotic Greece made an everlasting impact on the Detroit-area native, and she writes to express the deepest (and sometimes darkest) parts of her soul along with her great love of the written word. Like her characters, she pursues her dreams with everything she has.
Aurora is the author of four Phaze titles ( Melting the Ice Queen , I Heart You , Bitter Harvest and Potent Spirits ), and her erotic poetry is featured in the 2008 EPPIE finalist poetry anthology, Phaze In Verse and Coming Together: Under Fire .

Who Is Aurora Black?
~~~
"Aurora Black" is the persona that I keep very close to my heart. It's the mask that gives me the courage I need to write from deep within, yet this other woman is more me than I ever imagined.
I am a writer of erotic romance & poetry.
The majority of my stuff is on Literotica , and I'm a published author at Phaze . I'll have a website available soon. I'm also tackling the insanity of writing & revising my first full-length novel, and in general I'm working very hard to make my dream come true.

One night at a routine book signing, she finds the spice she needs in the form of Lucian Drake. Sinfully handsome and more erotic than any hero she's ever written, he is the perfect man to help her live out her wildest fantasies.
When a copy of Rachel's latest steamy offering finds its way into his hands, Lucian Drake can't rest until he meets the woman behind the sensual words. He longs to experience her passion and lose himself in the enigmatic depths of her eyes. As their torrid affair deepens into love, danger lurks in the shadows as someone tries to tear them apart... literally.

I'm a former professional singer, and I performed mostly jazz and blues. I originally wanted to do opera, but my voice didn't cut it. While in Greece, I did commercial voice-overs and toured the nightclub and hotel circuit.
So, that's all I can think to say at the moment. Feel free to check out my free works of fiction and let me know what you think. :O)

My Writings on Literotica

I'd like to meet:



Fellow authors and readers, friends from my time at Literotica, along with many new ones as I move forward with writing and getting published.

I want to meet other authors (up-and-coming as well as established) with the same goals and interests, people who know about the business. A literary agent or two wouldn't hurt either. *grin*

I want to learn all I can from these individuals so I can grow as a writer and improve my craft.


Music:



Jesus, I like so many different kinds that it's hard to write them all down here. I have very eclectic tastes in music, so I'll hear anything once: R&B, Soul, Rock, Jazz, Alternative, Ambient, Techno...

Movies:



The Red Violin, The Lover, Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, Perfume, Unfaithful, Like Water for Chocolate, Lady Chatterley's Lover, Lord of the Rings, Hard Candy, The Matrix, Pirates of the Caribbean, Last of the Mohicans, The Count of Monte Cristo, Donnie Darko, Wild Orchid, Red Shoe Diaries (the movie), Bridget Jones's Diary, Original Sin, Pride and Prejudice (both the BBC and latest movie version), Flashdance, The Thing, Die Hard, Big Trouble in Little China, Final Fantasy, In the Realm of the Senses, Angel Heart, John Woo's "The Killer." Many, many others.

Television:



24, The Tudors, anything on The Discovery Channel.

MySpace Layouts Sweet MySpace Layouts

Books:



I read a lot of books on psychology and writing, but when I read to escape I usually pick up a good romance from one of my Heroes below.

I'm picky when it comes to other (non-sexy) books, so my faves from that category are few. The standout ones are "The Crimson Petal and the White" by Michel Faber and "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett.

Heroes:



Personally: My mother and my late grandmother.

Professionally: Alessia Brio & Will Belegon, Clive Barker, Violet Blue, Susie Bright, Giselle Carmichael, Sharon Cullars, Sylvia Day, Diana Gabaldon, Seressia Glass, Gaelen Foley, Linda Howard, Alison Kent, Stephen King, Deidre Knight, Monica Jackson, Beverly Jenkins, Cat Johnson, Nicole Jordan, Karen Marie Moning, Anais Nin, Francis Ray, George Sand, Robin Schone, Alison Tyler, Sage Vivant, and Saskia Walker among others.
