Raven ShadowHawk

Biography

Hi... I'm Raven

To clarify, I'm the second half of the author who chooses to separates the genres she enjoys via her names. Raven ShadowHawk (me, the fun half) is one... Ileandra Young (the boring half) is another.

I write/read/live for erotica and spend a lot of my time dreaming up the fantasies that eventually end up in my books. The Meeting Each Other series is just part of that.

Many folk ask me how much of my stories stem from my experiences and how much is made up. I would tell you... but then (to coin a horrific cliché) I'd have to kill you. And wouldn't you prefer being alive to read more about exploits that may or may not be mine?

I hope so... as there's a deal more to come.

Enjoy, hopefully, what I have to offer. Contact me via any of the means above and look out for new releases.

Peace.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in London, which I don't think had any influence at all. I don't really write about the people or places from that time of my life. I started in Tottenham, then moved to Enfield at about 11 years old, for my next school. I think what influenced me more than that were the people that WEREN'T around me. The people I desperately wanted to meet. Then again, I was quite young then, and also a bit of a romantic, so, in truth, most of the influences for all the dirty stuff that pops out now have cropped up since moving to Leicester.
Did you know the kink scene in Leicester is huge. Like . . . HUGE!
What is the greatest joy of writing for you?
Making shit up.
I know that's a kinda clichéd answer, but I really (really) love making up stories. Thinking about what motivates this character or another and the best way to get into their pants/boxers. Frankly, just seeing the glee in other people's faces when I tell them about my latest story is also quite fun, too.
I find people to be so uptight and rigid about sex (hur hur hur), I think folk should just loosen up and enjoy it. That's what I try to encourage when I write.
