Her imagination substitutes for a somewhat dreary existence in the middle of nowhere home to a particularly harsh climate. She's a frustrated crime writer (few markets) and an unfulfilled SF author (no science background). Her erotic experiences, frankly, look better on paper, where she need not discriminate based on couplings, positionings, flogging devices, and/or binding materials. Rich, thick, wet ink spilling out of the golden nib of a finely-crafted fountain pen onto bright, white, textured paper is a form of ecstasy to her, free of STD's.She has a cat and an insatiable craving to express herself. Inspiration comes from everywhere, everything, and everybody she meets or sees or visualizes, but mostly from her mind (very often early in the morning when she first wakes up). She doesn't wait for the wet muse to tingle her in the appropriate places, however; oftentimes she just sits and stares at a blank piece of paper (Hilroy, lined, in a wire-bound notebook) until an idea strikes her and she pen-strokes it, first into a brief outline, and then into a full story (which usually goes through a, minimum, three-draft process). She's fairly well-read and quite good at mimicking other styles, which helps in the whole process, as does her natural shyness. Jayne graduated from Southampton Solent University in 2010 with a BA (Hons) in Writing Contemporary Fiction. Before this her main focus was on writing poetry (some of this was published with Forward Press in certain anthologies). University taught her much about different genres and styles, but writing erotica struck a particular chord. Today she writes mostly short stories, as well as full length novels and poetry. She is currently exploring 'custom written' stories and have often writes for friends as gifts. In her day job she works at an outside interest store, and she loves spending her spare time hiking and hillwalking. Other interests besides erotica include live music, arts and crafts, and keeping fit.Jayne is from Portsmouth, but takes a lot of her inspiration from London and especially Cornwall, where she hopes to live somedayFind Jayne at: Her blog: www.jazzyjwritersblock.wordpress.com Her Twitter: https://twitter.com/starshine1988Her Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jaz.wheatley Giselle Renarde is an award-winning author of erotica and LGBT fiction.
