Born with an extremely wild imagination I started writing children's books. But I was not only born with a wild imagination... I was also born with a very dirty mind! After publishing three comical kid's books I turned to my deepest passion and started writing and publishing a sex blog named The Good Sexlife. I found it exhilarating to liberate all those dirty thoughts and share them with others. Discovering that I had a talent for erotic writing and I never suffered the dreaded writer's bloc known as the blank page that I had experienced while writing in other categories, I decided to write erotic books.

D. F. Lamont
I've been a writer & designer for 20 years, but I've only just started publishing fiction.
The two books I've written, The Jinx and Three Dreams Deep, have some fancy-pants inspirations - poetry, paintings, literature - but the main ones are my own dreams and 1930’s-type adventure stories for young readers - fast moving, pulpy, lots of suspense, cliff hangers.
When it comes to reading, or movies, I like art that conveys the sense of a whole world. I like to be delighted, surprised, and convinced that what I am seeing is real. I like Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey / Maturin series, Robert Van Gulik's Judge Dee books, and children's literature classics like The Lord of the Rings, Watership Down, and Swallows and A ... read more

How is it that I can spend hours a day writing, weaving words together like it's second nature, yet when someone asks me to tell them a little about myself the only words that come to mind is...Dork.
I've loved the written word ever since I found that I could paint a much more vivid picture with words than with paint. Over the years I've taught myself to write, learning on the backs of critics and naysayers (I do not recommend this method of education. It takes thick skin and a sweet friend /husband always telling you that you can do it!)

Although I got my degree in public and international affairs, except for a short stint in foreign aid, I avoided the public sector, preferring the corporate sector which generated most of the country's income. Then one day a psychic said that he saw me (in the future) being involved with the government, perhaps by writing about it. I couldn't see it myself, except that he also told me that it took me a long time to get things straight, which is true -- but where was that in the stars? Now, many years later, I'm publishing my first e-book about what we have to do to recover our democracy from a Congress beholden to the 1% who buy its favoritism. Fated, perhaps.
