Oh F*ck Yeah with Ruan Willow Ruan Willow

Ep 434: Writing Erotica: A Passionate Journey with Hank Dolworth.
Listen in on a literary adventure as I chat with the multifaceted erotica and erotic romance author, Hank Dolworth. We dive deep into the steamy waters of erotic fiction. He's a man who's not just a writer, but a storyteller at heart. Hank, the creative force behind Jackal Publishing, shares his experiences from his first tantalizing reads to becoming a voice in the world of self-published erotica.

We explore the intricate dance between characters and plot, the thrills of writing sex scenes, and the delicate balance between fulfilling reader expectations and staying true to one's creative vision. Hank candidly discusses his writing process, revealing how his characters take on lives of their own, steering stories into uncharted territories of desire and intimacy.

Listeners will get a peek into Hank's upcoming works, including "A Hot Wife Spring Training," (excerpt in the episode), a tale that promises to be as provocative as it is heartfelt. He also sheds light on the importance of understanding your niche, the power of community in the writing world, and the liberating act of sharing stories freely.

Episode 422 Audiobook Chapter for Subscribers only (join for $3 a month) . This is chapter 2 after I Finally Got My Neighbor's Cock, from the book Next Door Temptations. Here's the link to Chapter 1 if you haven't listened yet: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1599808/14597483 
Book Blurb: Melissa had lusted for Cal for years, both of them had interacted as neighbors exchanging social pleasantries at neighborhood parties, bumping into each other while out walking dogs, at school events, and at the local grocery stores. Melissa had always surmised there was something more beneath the cordial surface of their interactions, and it was not just merely as neighborly friends. She had seen the spark in his eyes and returned it on multiple occasions.

One day Melisssa spied Cal working hard in his yard on a hot summer day and pulled her car to the curb to chat with him during his mundane task. She was delighted to find out Cal was now separated from his wife and clearly was now free because she had left him for another man. This was her chance. Their conversation was brought in the house for iced tea to get out of the hot sun. Things heated up way more than either of them expected when they both realized they had each harbored the serious hots for each other for literally years.

Laney and John have had their marital ups and downs, but ever since they started to indulge in the hotwife way of life, their bedroom life has been set on fire. Both loving the spicy adventures they are embarking on; they are open to new experiences. Marvin is a leisurely working retiree who has done many small handyman jobs for them around the house. Laney's had her hungry eyes on him with a smoldering burning blaze of want that has grown steadfast over time. She can only hope that John will agree and set up the framework for a hot rendezvous.
When Marvin arrives for his work for the day, Laney is enjoying a swim, in a bikini top only. Things escalate quickly when John sets the stage, but Laney is on her own for navigating her hook up with Marvin because John is eyeballs deep in work. That only fuels Laney's fire, and when she shows Marvin what needs to be worked on in their master bedroom closet, Laney takes what Marvin freely gives, which is both an orgasmic delight and learning experience for Laney. Maturity is sexy when it comes with so much experience that this silver fox blows Laney's peaks sky high. A few spicy and surprising adjuncts throw the fun into overdrive and Laney's world gets rocked like never before!
Enjoy book 4 in the Servicing the Work Men, My Filthy Hotwife Adventures!
