Erotica targets the mind, while Porn targets the groin; Author interview with Ken Charles April 1 - 6

Congratulations to Christine A!

Winner for choice of eBook from Ken Charles!

Tonya and I are very excited to welcome Ken Charles to the boudoir (redecorated just for Ken!) this week. Ken writes erotica and fantasy under another pen name; Ken being the darker side to his alter ego Charlie. 
Board the deep space battle cruiser; we're chatting with Ken next to the captain's chair so join us.

We have a bar set up in the Galactic Lounge with a real western space bartender to serve your favorite beverage. There's a poker game going on over in the corner. We think the game is strip poker; watch out Tonya plays a mean game! You may find Extra-Terrestrials trying to cheat during a hand.

Naughty Reader’s: Hi Ken and welcome to our sexy boudoir! Tell us a bit about yourself that our readers might not know.

Ken: I started writing erotica because I wasn’t particularly aroused by many of the “erotic” stories that I’d read. I’ve always believed that erotica targets the mind, while porn targets the groin. Since the mind is the operating software for the body’s largest sex organ, that is what I target.

Naughty Reader’s: Your quote is almost like my favorite; 'The difference between erotica and porn is time.' All five senses must be there, then the sex is mind blowing! What made you want to become a writer?

Ken: I’ve always enjoyed storytelling. I wrote a twenty page story about a subterranean society that collected humans for its zoo when I was in the fifth grade. The teacher thought it was a bit dark for a fifth grader, but my classmates liked it.

Naughty Reader’s: Please share a bit about your new releases without giving away any spoilers.

Ken: I have a couple of new releases out from No Boundaries Press. The first, Sex Tales From West County: Billy’s Tale, is about a young man who inherits an enormous estate. He uses his newfound wealth to open his dream business, and his new found leisure time to explore the kinkier side of his sexuality. The second, Slightly Twisted Sisters, is a collection of corporal punishment themed short stories. This collection is a bit edgier than my other works. The heroines are haughty, headstrong, bitchy and even outright sociopathic. There is sex, but unlike STFWC: Billy’s Tale, sex isn’t the focus.

I also  have a couple of releases coming up with No Boundaries Press. Both are collections of corporal punishment short stories. Venus and Marks includes stories about cp in amorous relationships. CP Sci-Fi Tales Across Time and Space includes cp stories set in time travel, outer space and state of the art laboratories. 

 
Naughty Reader’s: Do you write under a pen name?

Ken: Ken Charles is the naughtier and darker alter ego of Charlie Kenmore.

Naughty Reader’s: What types of hero or heroine do you like best?

Ken: I’ve always liked schemers, thinkers and innovators. Anyone can blunder into misadventure, but to really mess things up takes deliberation and planning. Think Wile E. Coyote. 

 

Naughty Reader’s: LOL Sorry couldn't resist placing Wile E. Coyote here; bout my wet my pants when I came across this image! *Looks over at Tonya* Close you mouth, LOL Yes, I went there on here! Tell us about a typical day in your life as a writer.

Ken: Step 1 – fill the iced tea. No writing worth a damn ever came out of a session that didn’t have tea. Step 1a-if it’s afternoon, place a snack within arm’s reach. Step 2- decide what the day’s project will be. I usually have a principal project or work in progress, and one or more side projects to work on if I don’t want to work on the main project. Last week, Charlie Kenmore finished his science fiction novel Aabharika. Aabharika had been the “side project” for several months until Charlie realized that it was far enough along that it needed to be finished. Now that that’s out of the way, maybe I can get some writing done. Step 3-remind the 18 year old cat that it is still hours before her dinner time. Step 4 – Begin writing. Step 5—take the cat off of my shoulder, send a quick note to Alexx Momcat complaining that she should have taken the cat to work with her, and resume writing.

Naughty Reader’s: Do your books have a common theme or are they all different?

Ken: My books are all over the place. Most of my writings include a cp theme. However, that theme is developed in many different contexts, including myths and fairy tales, period pieces (1800’s; WWII), age play, science fiction, and run-of-the-mill naughty maids, secretaries, spouses, etc. 

Naughty Reader’s: How long does it take you to write and then edit a story?

Ken: There is no rhyme or reason. I love writing flash fiction 500 words or less. It’s a challenge to tell a complete story in such a limited amount of words. Many short stories are finished and edited in an hour. Novellas and longer stories can take a couple of weeks or months until they are at a point where I’m willing to share them.

Naughty Reader’s: Do you have to be alone to write?

Ken: My muse is kind of shy. She prefers the house to be empty, except for the cats.

Naughty Reader’s: *Motions to the bartender for another round* Let's go by over to the fireplace and finish our chat. How do you go about naming characters?

Ken: It depends first on the setting. If the setting is “exotic” (i.e. not somewhere in America), I look up lists of baby names for the particular location. I try to choose a name that means something that is a significant to the character. If the setting isn’t important, I just pick a name. If the internal name generator is on the fritz, then I use the dropped phone book method. You drop the white pages on the bed. You roll a single six sided die. Odd numbers mean the left hand page. Even numbers mean the right hand page. Roll again. Odd numbers mean the first column, even numbers the second. Roll 2 dice. The two numbers represent to choices for first and/or last names. For example, the roll is two and five. The check the twenty-fifth name, and the fifty-second name. Repeat the process as often as necessary.

Naughty Reader’s: Is it easier to write about the characters if you find pictures of them before you write or do you write then find character pictures?

Ken: Sometimes a picture might inspire a character. However, more often than not, I write a character and fill in the picture as I go.

Naughty Reader’s: How do you pick locations for your stories?

Ken: It depends on how integral the setting is to the story. If the story is entirely “character driven”, it might not include much description of the location at all. Once the Muse gives me the basic details, I fill in the locations as needed.

Thanks for having me and letting me ramble. KC

 EXCERPT FROM SEX TALES FROM WEST COUNTY: BILLY’S TALE

(Suggested background music--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aA4seB6ou8)

   
     Missy swept her tongue back the other way and proceeded up the shaft. When she reached the top, she put him back in her mouth and bobbed up and down several times to ensure that he was as hard as he was going to get.
     She lifted her head clear, but continued stroking him with her left hand. She reached over to the side table and the remaining condom. She ripped it open with her teeth, then put the condom in her mouth. She leaned over and slid the condom over his turgid rod, using only her mouth.
     Missy clambered over him, faced and straddled him, and slowly impaled herself, singing softly to herself something like “Dum-de-de-dum-de-de-dum”. When he was fully inside her, she stopped and enjoyed the sensation of being filled. Billy reached up and squeezed her breasts. She closed her eyes, and began posting up and down, slowly and rhythmically to the music in her head. She continued to mouth the words silently, but occasionally gave voice to some of the lyrics, something about going into the city to save a horse.
     She continued to post. Each time she started down, Billy thrust upwards to meet her halfway. He rolled her nipples back and forth, then mashed her full breasts together. He pinched the nipples. Missy gasped and smiled and said something about gigging frogs.
     “I'll gig your frogs, baby.” He pinched her nipples again. “Frogs. That's a new one to me. Jugs, boobs, honkers, tomatoes, melons, tits, knockers, sure. Frogs? Nope. That one is new.”
     She giggled, then went back to mouthing her lyrics. She continued steadily lifting herself up, then slamming back down. Her breathing quickened. Billy squeezed her breasts together, did his first abdominal crunch of the day, and licked both of her nipples. 
     “What? What?”
     He dropped back against the pillow. “What?”
     When she didn't answer, Billy reluctantly released his grip on her right frog and gave her a sharp smack on her bruised bottom. Missy yelped, then threw her head back and screamed. “Yeeeeeeeeeehaw. Way to go, cowboy!” Billy thrust upwards just as Missy threw her weight back, practically doubling the heat and pressure on the top of his driving piston. Billy threw his head back in the pillows and came hard.
