I was inspired by a young lady I actually went to school with. Her promiscuity was fascinating to me.

Today we are interviewing Casey Carter about the erotica/adult romance Tie Me Up - A BLACK Series Episode.
Describe the plot of your new book in a few sentences.
Suffering from a case of writer's block, Beverly needs something to get her creative juices flowing. She tried everything to break the monotony that was dulling her senses. Nothing seems to work until finally, Beverly enlists the help of John. At that point, she wishes she hadn't. What she experiences, while freeing her mind, opens her to a world she can't resist.
Who do you think would most appreciate this book?
Fans of Fifty Shades of Grey, readers of Zane.
What drew you to write a book in the adult romance/erotica genre?
In my own relationships, I realized I wasn’t being satisfied and I began writing about what I thought would give me a fuller experience. Once I started writing, I realized I wasn’t going to get what I wanted if I couldn’t communicate it to my partner. So the stories began as a way of being able to tell my partner what I wanted and evolved into a way for me to engage others in conversation about what they really want and how to get it.
As a writer, were you able to empathize with Beverly’s struggle for creative ideas?
Yes, in some ways, I am Beverly. Being open in my own relationship has unlocked my sexual imagination which has allowed me to write more freely.
Who was your favorite character to write?
Believe it or not, even though the story is about Beverly, John is the character I love working with. In Murder, the first Episode between Beverly and John, you get a sense that there is more to John than meets the eye and in Tie Me Up, your suspicions are confirmed. John brings out who Beverly really is and celebrates that woman.
Is there any aspect of writing you don't like?
I love writing. I love being able to express what I’m feeling, how I’m feeling, good, bad and ugly. The part of writing I like least is the moment you decide to share yourself with the world and you sit back, waiting to see if they embrace you or reject you. I find that utterly nerve-racking.
What do you have in mind for your next project?
My next episode centers around a single forty-something living in the heart of New York City. Tribeca introduces you to Pamela Johnson and her girlfriends as they deal with dating and being single in the Big Apple. The Encounter is a follow up Episode to Open House, a story about an Orlando real estate broker who is aggressive both in business and in the bed.
Is there anything else you'd like potential readers to know about your book?
Tie Me Up is the second story about Beverly and John. John has become so popular, I’m in the process of drafting an Episode to dig deeper into who he is and I look forward to that because I suspect I’ll discover things about myself I didn’t know existed.
An excerpt from Tie Me Up:
Slowly he lowers
his body onto mine. The heat of his skin instantly lights me on fire.
I’m breathing heavy as I anxiously anticipate his next move. Knowing
John controls my every reaction is deliriously stimulating. It feels
like my nerve endings are all firing at once and the slightest touch
detonates mini charges all over my body.

Today we are interviewing author L. T. Graham about the murder mystery The Blue Journal.
Describe the plot of The Blue Journal in a few sentences.
When one of Randi Conway’s psychotherapy patients is found dead of a gunshot wound, the investigation is turned over to Lieutenant Anthony Walker.
Formerly a New York City cop, Walker now serves on the police force of an affluent community in Fairfield County, Connecticut. He lives among the privileged gentry, where he understands that appearances are often far removed from reality. This certainly proves to be true in the death of Elizabeth Knoebel, when Walker discovers that she had been keeping a private journal entitled “SEXUAL RITES”.
In her diary, Elizabeth was recording the explicit details of her sexual adventures with various men, many of whom were married to the women in her therapy group. Elizabeth was a predator bent on seducing and, in some instances, humiliating these men, obsessed with a perverse mission that Walker believes led to her murder.
As Walker uncovers the secrets of Elizabeth’s memoir, he becomes convinced that her killer is another of Randi Conway’s patients. But which one? Dr. Conway is unwilling to divulge her patients’ confidences, complicating the investigation while increasing the danger the therapist faces, especially as Walker comes closer to the truth and to Randi herself.
Amidst these unfolding revelations, we meet an assortment of Dr. Conway’s patients, glimpsing the dynamics that cause marriages to succeed, to fail and, sometimes, to end in tragedy.
Who do you think would most appreciate this book?
Anyone who loves a good mystery, or who is interested in what makes a marriage succeed or fail, or who wants to explore what drives sexual attitudes and desires.
What inspired you to write a murder mystery involving a detective who is out of his element, having moved from NYC to a suburb in Connecticut?
Some years ago, I witnessed the marriages of several close friends dissolve into unhappiness, unpleasantness and, ultimately, divorce. I wondered what led to the disintegration of those relationships, and why people I knew so well, and thought were so happy, had grown apart. That was my original inspiration for creating and examining the various characters for this book.
The murder victim, Elizabeth, is unique in that she had a specific sexual agenda and carefully documented her sexual adventures. What inspirations contributed to this character?
Every good book has a good villain. Elizabeth is based on a particularly evil woman, and I chose her to be the central figure of the mystery around which the story revolves.
Who was your favorite character to write?
I love them all, the good and the bad. A novelist spends so much time with his characters, you cannot avoid getting close to them. My favorite, however, was Anthony Walker. I like all of his contradictions, flaws , and his basic humanity.
The Blue Journal, in addition to being a mystery, contains elements of suspense and erotica. Did you want these elements in the story since the beginning of the writing process or was incorporating these elements just something that happened as you wrote?
These elements were always a part of the story, since they are inextricably intertwined with the action, the characters, and the things I wanted to examine as I wrote—and the things I want readers to experience and relate to as they read the novel.
Were there any murder mysteries that influenced your style as you developed as a writer?
I cannot possibly point to any one book or author, since the genre is so rich with talent. From Poe to Christie to P. D. James, just too many to name.
Can you share with us what the creative writing process is like for you, from initial idea to finished novel?
Only if you have a year! Seriously, the ideas for my novels percolate for quite a while until I even decide I am willing to spend the time and effort necessary to develop a particular concept. Then I move from summary, to outline, to first draft and then rewrite after rewrite after rewrite. As to process, I prefer to write early in the morning so, if I can put in a good three or four hours, I know I’ll be happy the rest of the day.
How do you feel about the increasing popularity of ebooks?
Anything that gets people to read is a good thing, and the devices certainly make traveling with multiple books a lot easier. Personally, I like the feel of holding a book, but that’s just me.
Can you tell us anything about the next book in the Detective Anthony Walker series?
Well, both Walker and Randi Conway will be back. And this time, the murders at the center of the book will be particularly sinister.
Is there anything else you'd like potential readers to know about your book?
I promise they will not be able to put it down, and that it will keep them thinking about the characters even after they’re done :)
