The blog begins

Self-marketing is tiring work! I've been doing the Twitter (@MiraNoire) thing actively for a few months now, but as I build out my site, it's time to plump it up with some content! Ebooks and blogtime, here we go.

On my mind these days ... I'm working with one of my ebook cover designers finalizing details on Talk to Me, a piece I published on an old incarnation of my writing site in 2001 or something. Once, all was available for free in a small corner of the Intertubes people were barely aware existed, let alone visited. I finally closed the doors on that site, and created miranoire.com, which of course likely led you here!

Now, as I get better at writing and refine my craft, I've been revisiting these works, cleaning them up, improving on language and tweaking characters and scenes, until the stories are the best version of the tale they can be. These are not the same story, if you ever read them, and even if you didn't - they're much better, I think, and definitely worth your time, now! :)

Talk to Me is a tricky little story. A popular erotic ezine editor was really taken by the story and wanted to publish it, but his fellow editors weren't as impressed and nixed the idea. But I knew I'd tapped into the very audience I'd intended this story for with him, and I think his fellow editors included some folks who were rubbed the wrong way when reading it.

It's the tale of a mid-thirties guy in a Lolita-like seduction where the girl does all the seducing and she's the equivalent of the "barely legal" idea. She's definitely over 18, but she's mysterious, and the forbidden nature of it all is what, of course, turns both the girl and the older guy on. I wrote this when I was in fact doing the same thing myself with older men, so, the fantasy can work both ways, and isn't just a "dirty old man" scene. It walks a line, but I stay on the legal side of the line!

For me, the excitement with all my older guy seductions was in the promise of sex, not the actual having. The anticipation, drove both me and the guy crazy. Yes, the ultimate story of a tease. Does the hero in our story get to have the ultimate prize? Coming soon to you on the usual epub outlets!
