So for those who have an interest in the Lizbeth Dusseau, here's the info on me...
As Lizbeth Dusseau I have
authored over 130 works of erotic fiction since my first novel, Alexandra's
Awakening was published in 1990. I then published seven titles with
Masquerade Books in the early 1990s. Then in 1994, with very few US markets for
erotica, I founded Pink Flamingo Publications and served as editor-in-chief for
Pink Flamingo until 2011. My novels and short story collections include General
Romance Erotica, Spanking Fiction, Lesbian Erotica, and BDSM Romance, which is my
favorite and most popular erotica genre. I use contemporary, historical and
some futuristic settings for my settings stories.
My erotic fiction explores the many ways in which women
experience erotic passion and how their sexuality plays out in their
relationships, whether it's with a husband, lover, master, female friend or
casual flirtation. Most of my fiction deals with themes of Dominance and
submission...with the female in a submissive role. However, my female
characters are not withering beauties. They have spirit, spunk, minds of their
own, and create plenty of drama and tension for their male counterparts.
Above is the gist of my
career in a nutshell, this is where I am now…
It’s been thirty years
since I began my erotica writing career. I wrote with great fervor for many
years, knocking out novel after novel, story after story, in what seemed like
an endless supply that would never cease. But then burnout, weariness and
eventually deep grief forced me into retirement in 2011. I’d lost the desire to
write. I’d said enough about sex and I was done.
So I
thought.
Then a fresh spark of
inspiration (in the guise of a new man) exploded that idea in 2013 and resulted
in the novel Spontaneous Combustion. The work delved into themes I’d
been exploring throughout my career, and could be seen as a culmination of a
fantasy that had been haunting since I was an adolescent. I consider the novel one of
my best, and is certainly one of my favorites. However by 2014 when it went into
print the erotica publishing market had changed dramatically. Hundreds, more likely
thousands of new writers were penning their favorite fantasies hoping to be the
next hot seller. I began to think of myself as a relic from another era. Spontaneous Combustion got lost midst of a world I hardly knew anymore.
Again, I
put down my pen (closed my computer). The erotica world had seen the last of
me.
So I thought...
Until this winter
(2018-2019) when I was nudged and prodded by my publisher, and inspired by the new
man in my life to check in with my muse again to see if there was a new story to
tell. And so there was. The Glass House.It's fun fresh, a bit of a
departure for me...but I thoroughly enjoyed being back in front of my
computer doing what I've loved.
