Good morning! I’m so
thrilled to be here visiting Brenna’s beautiful blog today. One of the perks of
being a writer and sharing my stories is meeting and making new friends. Who am
I? I’m a grandma who writes smut. Tory Richards is my pen name, conceived at a
time when the need to protect the real me was probably a good idea. It also
allowed me the freedom I needed to write what I wanted. Since I became
published, six years ago, I have retired from Disney. I don’t have to worry so
much about writing erotic romance these days.
Can you believe it’s
September? Today is a very special day
for me. Not only do I have a brand new release out, but it’s the first of my
books that I’ve decided to self-publish. So I’m pretty nervous. My first
fourteen books were contracted with publishers. Up in Flames will be
offered at Amazon Kindle. It’s a short, erotic romance. Here is a short blurb.
Rachel
Masters has had a crush on her sexy boss for three years. As far as she knows
the millionaire architect is oblivious to her, walking past her desk every
morning with barely a nod in her direction. But when the power goes out and
they're trapped in an elevator, the truth comes out in one steamy episode
designed to take Rachel's mind off being claustrophobic.
James
White doesn't have a crush on his receptionist. He wants her, its as simple as
that. He senses there's a real beauty hidden beneath the granny glasses and
professional suites. And he plans to find out how hot she is as soon as the
chance presents itself.
For anyone interested in my
other books, two of which came out in August, please visit my website/blog at

win a copy of one of my books, winner’s choice.
Tootles!

Hi Wendy! It's great to meet you, too. Someone who can relate! LOL Some people still regard erotic romance as porn because they don't really know the difference. I didn't realize readers also have to use pen names. Too bad. What genre do you like to read?
