Paige is an award nominated author of erotica, she’s been writing and self publishing for almost six years, with over 70 titles live on Amazon.
Writing started as a challenge for her having read several books in the genre, foolishly she said to her partner, I can do better. So do it, he told her. Never one to refuse a challenge she gave it a go and has barely looked back since
Step inside, you’ll find a description of each of her books and the thought process that went into creating each one.
There are some questions that all authors get asked all the time. The first is usually where do you get your ideas from? This is an easy one to answer. I travel a lot with work and there is only so much Netflix I can take!
The basic answer is I love reading, I always have, the way a good book can transport you to anywhere in the universe and any time is magical and a lot of ideas come from the way books fire my imagination.
I’m involved in the BDSM scene. You get to meet people, witness events and a lot of ideas come from these interactions as well as from my own personal life.
The second question is almost always, how did you get into writing?
This one’s even easier to answer. I was staying away from home, traveling with work and when you’re in hotels for weeks on end you’ve got few choices. Drink yourself to death (BTW drinking in hotel bars as a single woman isn’t fun, men hit on you all the time - if you’re ever in this situation do her a favour and leave her alone) and ultimately there’s only so much Netflix I can take. So I downloaded 50 shades, read it and thought to myself, surely I can do this?
I told my partner who set me a challenge, write a book! I had nothing else to do in the evenings so I was like why not, picked up the keyboard and started to type, three months later the result was my first book, ‘Blackmailed’ and to my utter surprise and amazement it sold reasonably well - as I like to say, not well enough to quit work, but definitely well enough to make writing as a side line worth while. That spurred me on to write another and another and I was hooked.
The final question is always, why pony girls?
I’ll be honest, it’s not a kink I get, but I was once looking for inspiration on the web while writing ‘Five Days in San Francisco’ and I stumbled on an image of what I now know to be a Pony Girl. My partner explained it to me, then set me a challenge, write a pony girl book. A novel.
I love a challenge, so I incorporated some pony action into ‘Five Days’ but he wasn’t happy that I’d met his challenge.
I thought about it for a while, then picked up the keyboard and six weeks later ‘Fire and Flame’ was complete, another week or two of editing and it hit the virtual shelves. I expected it to sink without a trace, to my continued amazement it has led to many sequels . . . and also to a personal experience of being a pony girl!
