I love military heroes, both real and fictional. I guess that’s not surprising, considering most of the men in my family served in the military during war time. My dad was a Marine, my husband served on a battleship in the Navy, and my son plans to join the military next year.

It’s All About Fantasy by Adele Dubois My road to writing girl on girl stories started in 2006 with my first erotic romance novel. Though my story hero and heroine were monogamous and straight, the secondary female characters were bi-sexual and experimental. I took a walk on the wild side with those characters and included some fun, highly graphic, female/female sex scenes. The scenes made sense, since they fit nicely with the plot and the character profiles. They also got…
