Witte Piet

Biography

The author started writing gay romances after he had retired from a long career as an academic scientist. It is a widespread illusion that authors of erotica are practised experts in the art of venery. In fact, this is in most cases quite untrue, they are more generally working out their erotic fantasies in fiction, as is the case with Witte Piet. The author's aim is to write pleasant and enjoyable stories about love between men, not leaving the sex behind at the bedroom door, but entering into plenty of explicit detail, with some crude language. One of the author's mottoes is a quotation from Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, "Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery,” so there is for example no poverty among the lead characters. The fields are all "highbrow", involving student life in one of England's ancient universities, and areas of science, religion, music, literature (especially seventeenth-century poetry) and life in the English countryside and in Italy.

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a West Yorkshire valley. It was a long time ago, and has had very little influence on my writing, which is essntially a hobby of my old age. My boring childhood would have given me no suitable experiences to enshrine in fiction.
When did you first start writing?
After I retired from work as an academic scientist.
