I've always been a lover of books. When I was in 6th grade my best friend and I wrote a book together called, "I didn't think it could happen to me." It was a story about 2 high school students in love and end up HIV positive. I know that's a pretty heavy subject for 2 young girls, but we were actually in school with a guy who contracted the disease and we felt inspired by it.
Shortly after, I began writing poetry. Poetry is actually my first love, but having an opportunity to bring forth a voice that explores the sensual and often frowned upon exotic side of humans keeps me moving forward. My book "Loud Secrets" is a must read, because I touch on the raw sexual energy we all walk around with daily.
I chose to become an erotica author after wanting to channel the passion & lust contained inside each and every one of us. I aggressively attack the subject of male and female sensuality and form an understanding that doesn't disgust my readers, but entice them to find themselves once they let go all inhibitions.
"Loud Secrets" will leave my reading audience breathless, but allow them to ride the wave of bravery. Secrets are kept everyday many are silent, many are not. It's necessary for me to open the door and show the world that erotica isn't nasty, contaminated, or unsafe. It's the untold secrets behind sex that create chaos.
I will also be featured in Bedtime Stories 2 along side several other wonderfully talented authors. Look for my short story "Icing on The Cake."
I AM POWERFUL because I've surrounding my self with nothing less than inspirational energy. My spiritual growth has allowed me to stand tall, exude strength, and push forward even when the odds were against me!

Ms. Ayana,
ReplyDeleteI knew from grade school that you would do great things and as a black woman, you have to work even harder to accomplish your goals in life. You are a very talented person and the last time I saw you we were standing outside your house and I knew from our conversation that you would make it. The way you put words together is amazing. You can only go forward now. Love you and can't wait to read the book.
