Happy Bookiversary – The Layover is 2!

L. Loren

Hi Lovebirds,

On this day in 2016 I released my first LoveRotica Tale, The Layover and officially became an author in the erotic romance genre. It is one of my most popular stories to date. It is book 1 in a 3 book serial series. I really had no idea how freeing this book and series would be for me. I am so much more open in my sexuality and my willingness to explore new things. Sometimes it is only within the pages of the books I write, but I have always said I live vicariously through my book babes.

Q & A

Tell us about your work in the Love is Color Anthology. 

 Love is Color was my brainchild. I set a goal for myself to curate an anthology with a diverse group of writers, poets and photographers. It was my first undertaking of a project of this caliber and I found it extremely enjoyable. 

I wrote 2 poems for this anthology that represent the feelings of the colors purple and orange. I also wrote a sensual poem entitled My Favorite Color – a dedication to my husband. The short story I included was Parasol, a sensual look at unexpected love.
