Writing itself isn’t the sole motivation. Writers want validation and respect. We want an audience. So the questions become, “What’s your risk factor? What are you willing to do to get your beloved audience? Are you willing to toil for years without the benefit of a payout? Can you live in solitude, possibly forever, just for the chance to connect with a group of individuals in the hopes they like your work?”
I write dark paranormal love (and hate) stories, dark erotic romance, and dark erotica under three different pen names. (What can I say? I like it dark!)
I plan on using this blog to share my newest releases, fiction by other authors I adore, plus music and movies that all speak to my fixation on obsessive love stories.
Read about the three sides of CDC below and hopefully you'll find we share the same likes. :)
Claudia D. Christian plays with vampires, demigods, saints, sinners, and monsters. She mixes love, hate, sex, and violence in equal measure. She crafts endings with hope but makes her characters burn in hell before they get there.MOTTO: Love is pain.
Charlotte DeCorte explores dark erotic romance without a paranormal bent. She writes from the viewpoint that not all relationships are or want to be grounded in the traditional rules of courtship.MOTTO: Pain is love.
D. Cristiana explores the darker side of committed relationships. The settings and situations may be unconventional, the desires corrupt, and the sex explicit, but she’s a firm believer in happy-for-that-particular-couple-endings.MOTTO: Love is lust.
