DIVALLE CURIE writer of paranormal erotica
On Writing Lorelei
In an odd way, Lorelei is my very first story of supernatural erotica.
​
Cliché though it may sound, it really did come to me in a dream. But, given my reluctance to write erotica at the time, and seeing no way of divorcing the story from its sexual component, I put the idea away as something that would never make it to print.
​
Now, I'd had a brilliant idea for a fantasy novel, which I'd thought would be groundbreaking—laden with sex, murder and political intrigue. I'd had this story in my head for decades, in fact, but my writing skills weren't adequate to my imagination. And by the time they were, George R. R. Martin had beaten me to the punch.
​
I was a little despondent, and in need of a new, fresh, innovative idea.
​
That's when I remembered the remarkable dream I'd had years earlier, and decided to write it. At the time, it was the single story I had for a planned collection of paranormal erotica. (This collection later became Mina Harker's Diary, from which Lorelei was ironically left out.) As I began to write it, just as with Tristan, I realized that I had a longer story here than a mere chapter. It needed its own book.
​
At the moment, I have no clear release date for Lorelei: an Erotic Lesbian Romance—but maybe by the end of 2019.
