Smut Writing Grandma, Tory Richards!



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 the link provided below. Leave a comment on this post and one lucky reader will win a copy of one of my books, winner’s choice.

Winner will be drawn and announced here, and on my blog one week from this post. Good luck!
Tootles!
Tory

    1. 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?
