This excerpt was originally published on the Naughty Literati blog in 2016.

Getting to know me: Gemma Snow’s Interview 2017

This re-post of an interview I did with erotic romance author Gemma Snow is the third in a series of blog interviews I’ve done over the years. The first post explains my purpose.

Gemma Snow’s Interview

Below is a guide to some of the Reverse Harem-type themes in my stories. Continue reading
