Willsin Rowe falls in love with a scent, a playful expression or an act of casual intimacy more easily than with physical beauty. When confronted by any combination of those elements he is a lost cause. He has done many things over and over, done even more things only once, and half-done more things than he cares to admit. He loves to sing and doesn’t let his voice get in the way. He is intelligent but not sensible. He is passionate but fearful. He is not scruffy enough or stylish enough to be cool.
Let's have a chat with him, shall we?
Q: You’ve written quite a few
wonderfully smutty stories on your own, what made you decide to co-author this
story?
A: It really did feel like the natural
step to take. With Patience, I knew the idea was sound, and that the rough map
of the story would work. But the intricacies weren’t meshing. The tiny cogs
just weren’t lining up. It just felt like exactly the kind of story that needed
input from both genders. And of course, who better to work with than my bestest
beta-reading buddy?
Q: What is it about the genre that
draws you in? Why do you love to write Erotica?
A: I just love to write, no matter what
genre. But for me, Erotica is special. It’s not just about grabbing two
characters (or more!) and tossing them in a bed together with the instructions
to get it on. It’s to be expected that the characters get all hot and sweaty,
sure...but I love the challenge of making it unstoppable rather than
opportunistic. The background and shape of the story need to funnel these
characters into each other’s...well, let’s say “arms”!
Q: Pick a favorite line (or interaction
between the characters) from Patience and
tell us why you like it so much?
A: Ah, I love this bit:
I
turned him to face me. “Edan, I know you won’t like to hear this, but you’re
still so young. You see everything in black and white. Only when you get older
will you see the shades of gray.”
“Yeah.
In the mirror.”
It
felt almost like he’d slapped me, but I tried not to let it show. “Well, you
sure know how to sweet-talk a girl.”
“What?
What did I say?”
“You
know what you said.”
“Yes,
I do. I just have no fucking idea what you
heard.”
Why do I love it? Because it shows how
the different ages and genders of the characters lends a totally different
understanding to one simple remark. And I’d like to point out, too, that the
“shades of gray” reference was written in 2010; long before I’d heard of...any
particular books that it might make you think of!
Q: What does your family think of your
work? Does your wife ever do any Beta Reading for you?
A: Most of my family know, and are
pretty much ambivalent about it. My mother was a little taken aback, but my
wife is totally supportive. She doesn’t beta for me, but she appears (in one
form or another) in many of my stories. She’ll often help me road-test an idea,
too!
Q: We’ve touched on this before. What
is it about the older woman/younger man pairing that is so intriguing, in your
opinion?
A: Ah, well, I think it comes down to a
few elements like confidence, communication and respect (including self-respect).
When dealing with males, older women tend to do better than younger women on
all those elements (wild generalization, I know). Most young people still have
that crazy idea that men and women both speak the same language! Older women
also know how to stroke an ego without feeling like they’re diminishing
themselves. And lastly, they know what they want, they know where it is...and
they don’t assume a young man can find it by himself!

Hunger
Christmas time in Brisbane is always so hot and muggy you could drink it from a bowl.
Brett Freeman feels the heat like anyone, but for more than 15 years it’s been nothing to do with the climate and everything to do with Corinne. Only one thing stands between Brett and his perfect woman: her husband, Darren.
Despite that stumbling block, Darren and Corinne consider Brett their best friend. They’ve watched in despair as he’s tossed away good relationships simply because, in his mind, no woman could ever compare to Corinne.
Then, one muggy Christmas Eve, a friendly visit takes a bizarre turn. Secrets are shared, an incredible present is offered, and for Brett, life will be changed forever.
Every beginning comes from an ending.

The Three Day Hump
Luther has a solid career as a lawyer and is married to a famous lingerie model. His life has grown comfortable, and he can’t remember how it felt to truly want something…anything.
Opal is young, debatably single, and has lived a life poor in everything but experience. She exudes a lush darkness and it draws Luther to her.
He suddenly remembers desire.
Their flirting turns physical; lust turns to obsession, obsession to addiction. They can’t see a future, but they can think of nothing but the present. They don’t know how to stop, they only know they need to.
An urban myth tells that three days of abstinence will break the back of an addiction. They hole up together in a hotel for a long weekend.
Naked.
Can their addiction be beaten? Maybe. But first, they need to make it over the three-day hump.

Lightning
From the fun and frivolous to the poignant and deeply personal, this collection of flash and short erotic fiction has a little taste of everything. Tales of crossed paths and crossed lines; of fate and fancy; changes, chances and choices.
With flash stories boiled and brewed until only the essence remains, and longer works that simmer and spit, you’re sure to find something to tickle you right where you need it. And with author commentary before each story, you could call this the director’s cut!
