Erotica as Declaration

One of my publishers, Forbidden Fiction, recently posted an interview with me as part of their pride month celebration:

What do you like about writing GLBT themes?

All erotica is a declaration of independence to me. It's a way of owning my freedom -- to act, to think, to fantasize, to put those things into words and open them up to others. Stories with GLBT themes are often hot to me sexually, so that's an important thing to note -- they fit that goal of erotica. They also, however, fit with this need for declaration. I think it's important for me to say that these themes are hot, and to get at the issues they bring up. I identify as bisexual, but have spent a lot of my life "passing" as straight. It feels good to express my full identity in my writing.
