Portia Da Costa is posting on WeWriteRomance.com’s blog. If you don’t know who Portia Da Costa is, then you haven’t spent much time at this website. Portia writes ultra-sexy stories for Black Lace and has recently begun writing books for Spice Briefs.

I’ve got to get those new books entered! I swear there’s still so much I want to get done on this site.

Anyway, I love the part where she talks about how she got into writing erotica.

But then, fate took a hand, and I got shunted onto a slightly different writing track. A writers’ advisor took a look at one of my manuscripts, and amongst all the terrible plotting and the flimsy romantic conflict, she picked up on something I seemed to be pretty good at. Writing sex scenes. She advised me to try writing erotica, as that was an easier market to break into at the time. I took her advice, and with a speed that still surprises me today, I had a book accepted. And some stories. Pretty soon I started writing for Virgin’s famous Black Lace imprint, and I’ve been writing Black Lace novels ever since. My latest IN TOO DEEP, came out in November 2008, and KISS IT BETTER, my 15th title [including novellas] comes out in August 2009.
