me for his column at the Erotic Readers and Writers Association. Okay, I’ll be really honest here, I almost fell out of my chair when Ashley asked if I would like to be interviewed for ERWA . I looked over both my shoulders and then back at the computer screen…before demurely asking, “me?”
Hmmm…let me think about this for a moment…interviewed by The Ashley Lister…for ERWA…? Um, hello, where do I sign? It felt like such an honor to be asked that I still might be breathless from the experience.
I’ve been a long time admirer of both Ashley and of ERWA, so I immediately jumped on a flight; lickety split and met Ashley at a very traditional London pub. After a few pints, some hearty food and good conversation, Ashley asked me some great interview questions and then it was time for me to come home. Good-bye London. Hello reality. Boo-hiss.
When you get a chance, go and check out my interview, which is posted on ERWA now!
Feeling a bit like “red carpet” superstar right now,
Neve Black
That was wonderful, Neve–brava to you, and bravo to Ash! I know your creative and adventurous spirit will be an inspiration to the ERWA readers, in terms of both writing and getting out there to read their erotic work in public.
Oh, and I’ve consulted Emily Post, and drinking a sexy cocktail *does* count as a project–provided you fill out the appropriate paperwork beforehand. ; )
Yay, Neve! Great interview over at ERWA!
Hi Jeremy,
You’re so sweet. Thank you for stopping over there and reading. It just floors me to be up there, because ERWA is my erotic bible…yeah, the word bible and erotic doesn’t really fit together, but you know what I mean. I’m so thrilled to be included. Ashley is wonderful. I hope it was good for him too.
Oh, and thanks for the consultation with E. Post. Good to know sexy cocktails are considered a project. whew. I wonder if I can now write that project off on my taxes?
Hi Marina!
Thank you! I was quite thrilled and nearly toppled over in my chair when I was asked. That may sound silly, but it feels like a quiver in my cap. Thank you for being so supportive.
Neve, what a fabulous interview! Your positive spirit, which constantly inspires me, comes through brilliantly. Everyone who reads this is going to want to join you at the bar for a cocktail. (I’m holding out for Paris, baby). Btw, I don’t think it’s silly at all to get a kick out of being an “official” part of the erotica community–you belong in the spotlight :-).
Donna,
Thank you. Thank you for lots of things too.
I feel like a red carpet celebrity.
Congratulations on the interview, Neve! I found it sparkling and bubbly, just as I’ve experienced you!
(”Sparkling and bubbly” seems to go well with red carpet too, no?)
Awww, Em, thank you. I wonder if the sparkly and bubbly has something to do with my love of champagne?
Kick ass interview, Neve! You rock!
(and yes, you’re still “porn” according to The Man’s web filter. A badge of honor if there ever was one…)
Haven!
Hey buddy, how the heck are you? Thanks for reading and commenting. Oh, I think I’m thrilled to know my website is still considered porn…too many words in my opinion, but hey, I’ll take that porn badge!
When are you going to submit a photo, or a piece of artwork along with your essay for F-stop? Get busy (CRACK!) Yes, that was my whip.
Neve, you are such a luscious starlet! What a wonderful interview. I like to join you at the bar, and lots of other places! You are incredibly inspiring. Rock on, sista!
Gina!
No, you’re the luscious starlet. This group supports and inspires the other constantly. It’s a never-ending churning and brewing simmering pot of creative sexual energy! I love that about us!
Hey, as far as hanging at bars with friends… Shanna said, she wants to get a group and travel across the country; stopping here and there at various writers bungalows. My interpretation: I’m grabbing Gina and others and we’re coming to crash at your new house! Yah!!
Hugs to you, baby!!
Joy! That would be such a blast!
You know it, baby!
