Renee Rose and I are both tired from Eroticon 2014 which was held in Bristol, but Renee has had four releases in the past four weeks! Her latest is The Bossman, from Riverdale Books the brainchild of Lori Perkins. When we decided we would do this interview which was something I used to do in a previous blog life, we just looked at each and knew what we wanted. Renee crackles with energy, and this is not surprising since she revealed to me she is a healer in her professional life. There is a tremendous calm about her, but there is no doubt that she is quite a dynamo in everything she does.
“I am a little manic, there is no other explanation!” Renee jokes. Voted America’s Next Top Erotica Writer during Eroticon USA, her impressive two-year career displays her stamina and deep passion for what she does. The first day of Eroticon in Bristol, Renee distributed wooden paddles with her brand on it that shows off her dancer’s legs. She is this amazing combination of hard, business and soft, intuitive woman. Being around her, her warmth and sincerity is infectious. I feel so comfortable with her even though we have only met a few times. She is completely authentic, writes hot erotica and is totally the master of her universe. Scroll below for Renee on Renee…
I grew up in Denver, Colorado. I used to ski, but decided it wasn’t worth a knee injury that could end my dance career.
I was taught that genre fiction was bad, so after abandoning Sweet Valley High at age 14, had not read any romance other than Jane Austen. Got my degree in English.
During a plane ride I needed a book, and a friend gave me a romance novel and I really liked it. It was a feel good book–a hot guy, a hot woman get together!
Spent a year devouring romance and decided I would write one, but would edit out spanking because it was not PC.
I wrote a book in six days, it was pubbed two weeks later and had an Amazon ranking of 3000. The stars aligned to tell me I was on the right track.
I am a mom, modern dance teacher–had my own dance company for ten years. I am a PTA president, and a healer. I do body work for people to move out of pain. With some people I use energy work in addition to the Feldenkrais Method, with others, I just use energy as an intuitive guide.
As a child I was the usual overachiever. My parents put me in dance because I had a lot of energy to burn.
Had to have surgery before I got pregnant with my daughter. I could not survive because I could not dance.
I was a born a spanko, spanking (my) dolls. In a way (spanking) goes with the overachiever thing. I was always the good girl, I was never spanked. I was the pleaser, I would do my homework, be on time. The psyche of a spanker is the need to please, the desire to be right, to please someone.
I am always a bottom.
(There is) a slight difference in BDSM v. spanking. (With spanking) the shame and humiliation is part of the turn-on. The truly being naughty, paying for punishment.
If you asked me for a natural healing alternative, I could probably have five suggestions, maybe ten.
I was never the type to chase my kids, my kids chased me (they were) like mom is going let’s go!

Thank you so much! Meeting you at eroticon was such a highlight. I appreciate you!
I did not notice he had green eyes until this post! He’s hot. Renee, you’re awesome! Renee did a quick chakra clearing on me when she was here and I could feel it, absolutely. It’s a pretty amazing gift she’s got. And one more thing – I agree about the need/desire to please as a spanko.
Congratulations on your latest release, my friend.
Great article, Leonora! The Eroticons sound like a lot of fun!
