About Me

I'm Lauren Dane and I write erotica/smut/erotic romance and paranormal themed books. I'm old and opinionated and have three wild and unmanagable kids and a patient husband.

I'm unashamedly sex positive, progressive and stupidphobic.

I write for Harlequin Spice, Samhain Publishing and Ellora's Cave and I'm always way busier than I want to be.

18 and Over Only Please!!

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Writing, reading, politics, feminism and gender issues, cooking, eating, dancing, debating, learning, parenting, law and legal issues

Samhain Publishing on Myspace

I'd like to meet:

Other writers, particularly ones who write smut/erotica/sex. Readers. Feminists, sex positive folks, mothers who write, lefties.

Because of what I write, I will only friend those who are 18 and over. If you friend me and your profile is locked I have no way of knowing if you're of age. If this is your situation, please send me a message letting me know you're 18 or over. And please don't use comments to spam me with your products for sale! That's what bulletins and your own page is for. Thanks!

A note: I am not looking for a hook up or sex. I'm quite happily married and I get what I need at home...!

Writerly Wednesday

Preferences, ah, the meat and potatoes (or the tempeh and potatoes) of the book universe. We all have them and they drive our choices. Sometimes we take a chance and discover something we hadn't expec...

Process

So as I was catching up with Megan this morning on IM, we were talking about the process of writing. I'm of the "I like to write what I want to write when I want to write it" school. But the realitie...

Boy Meets Girl....Meets Boy...

Menages. I love them. I've written six of them and I love the depth of emotion created by a threesome (I haven't done four or more, too unwieldy for my tastes although I don't mind reading them!). Fo...

So I've been tagged several times for the 8 Things Meme - thing is, if it's unknown, I most likely want it to stay that way, LOL!! 1. I didn't start reading romance in earnest until I was in my 30's. ...
