Erotic Research: STUDENSTEIN!

Hi Nikki! (Hey Daisy! *Muah*) Thanks for having me on the blog again to celebrate the release of my latest novella, STUDENSTEIN! (And yes, I always write STUDENTSTEIN! in all-caps with an exclamation point at the end. My hero Royce deserves at least that much.)

So, I’ve decided to talk a little today about research. I have no qualms whatsoever admitting that I have not done all the acts I write about in my books. In fact, as my bio makes clear, I haven’t done any of them.

Yes, it’s true. I’m a virgin. (I’m dying with laughter over here, can you hear me all the way across the country?)  And this is why research is so important for me as an erotic romance writer. I mean, how can I know what happens behind closed doors if I don’t troll the interwebz for copious amounts of porn? I’d be lost entirely. And my books would be a lot less interesting. (I troll for mass amounts of porn as well, but I can’t really say it’s for research per say – well yes, I can, I need to look at it because how else am I supposed to know if authors got it right? Yes, that’s it.)

And STUDENSTEIN! Required more than the average amount of study. Because it includes a scene not commonly found in erotic romance novels. Something “top shelf” as my husband likes to call it—because you have to ask the guy at the video store to retrieve it off a shelf reserved for customers with “special tastes.”

Of course, there’s the go-to spot for “top shelf” porn: kink.com. And if any of you have never been there, I highly recommend you visit. But alas, I’m a good girl—I don’t pay for porn. And there’s only so much one can glean from the pieced-together snippets one can get for free.

I figured, there MUST be some couple out there who videoed themselves doing this act and posted it on YouTube. Or wherever it is that kind of perv posts videos of themselves doing disgusting acts. I’m here to tell you—I searched for a long, long while. I read discussion boards, skulked around Fetlife. Finally, I found a clip of a husband and wife doing what I was looking for. And… Well, it wasn’t all that different from how I’d imagined.

A man built for sex… A woman who wants more…

Free­dom fighter Shani Brown is deter­mined to drag the ungrate­ful Royce back to her team in Seat­tle. Despite his denial of mis­treat­ment, she wants to give him a chance at a bet­ter life. Due to her hor­rific past as an unli­censed love-bot, Shani never plans to have sex again. But Royce’s mak­ers pun­ish him remotely with crip­pling pain. His only escape is to orgasm. Never one to turn her back on a job, Shani soon finds her­self ser­vic­ing him—and soon after, car­ing for him.

Love-bot Royce Harden wasn’t look­ing to be res­cued, espe­cially not from the San Fran­cisco BDSM club where he was hav­ing a per­fectly good time. But res­cued he was—by a hell­cat bent on deliv­er­ing him to her peo­ple. As Royce starts to trust Shani, he begins to dream of free­dom. But free­dom comes with a price. Royce must face his van­ity, his mak­ers, and even the loss of his sex­ual upgrades if he’s going to be the man Shani deserves.

BIO:

Birkenstock-wearing glamour girl and mother of two by immaculate conception, Daisy Harris still isn’t sure if she writes erotica. Her paranormal romances start out innocently enough. However, her characters behave like complete sluts. Much to Miss Harris’s dismay, the sex tends to get completely out of hand.

She writes about trampy mermaids, sexy dragons, and snuff-y shark-shifters. Her work also features zombie ingenues, horny gods, and some holiday characters like you’ve never seen them before. And there’s almost always a mad scientist in there somewhere.

If you like science-y subplots, fantastical creatures, and red-hot chemistry, you’ll love Daisy Harris. You can find her on Twitter, Facebook and at www.thedaisyharris.com
