Claire Thompson

Claire has always loved to write. Her work began as a romantic exploration of the BDSM life style, and then veered somewhat to the darker side of fantasy. She was able to delve into "rough stuff", things that compelled her in the abstract, though she wouldn't necessarily want to experience them. Her more current work has returned to the more romantic inclinations of consensual submission. The majority of her novels deal with the romance of erotic submission. She also enjoys historical erotic romance, vampire play and her latest foray into male/male erotic love. It is important to her to write about real people, characters she and her readers come to care about. She doesn't want to simply provide an erotic thrill or evocative description. With her BDSM work, she seeks not only to tell a story, but to come to grips with, and ultimately exalt in the true beauty and spirituality of a loving exchange of power. Her darker works press the envelope of what is erotic and what can be a sometimes dangerous slide into the world of sadomasochism. She strives to write about the timeless themes of sexuality and romance, with twists and curves to examine the romantic side of the human psyche. Ultimately her work deals with the human condition, and our constant search for love and intensity of experience.
