Meet a Monster Erotica Author – Interview with Tawny Savage Behind Closed Doors mermen, gargoyles and one of my childhood nightmares…puppets. Author Tammy Dennings Maggy: Stop in to see what my alter ego Tawny Savage had to say about the monster erotica genre. While you’re there, check out Celia Dunroy’s books! Originally posted on Celia Dunroy: On #MonsterMonday, this blog features interviews with the people who write and publish monster erotica. Why Is Monster Erotica So Popular? Well, we know! Today’s author is Tawny Savage. Tell me about your stories and the monsters they feature! At the moment, I’m working on the final installment of my Bigfoot Chronicles trilogy. Besides the obvious, the true monsters in these stories are the humans. I have plans for novellas centered around demons, a Minotaur, I prefer creatures that are more humanoid or at closer to the size of a human so I can wrap my head around how they’d have sex together. Others can tackle the extra large creatures. What do you like to call your category? “Monster erotica”, “beast porn”, something else? I like most of them out there: monster erotica, bigfoot erotica/porn, beast love, taboo erotica and dark fantasy erotica. If there was no such category as monster erotica, what would you call your work? taboo erotica or dark fantasy erotica would be my choice if I couldn’t categorize it as monster erotica. Why do you write and read monster erotica? What’s the appeal? I like the shocked looks I get from people when I tell them what I write. LOL! Seriously, I love the fact there are no rules. There isn’t some group out there telling me I have to have a happily ever after or that I can only have one sexual encounter per fifty pages. I can write the story as short or as long as I want it to be. I can explore some of my own deep, dark fantasies through my characters. It doesn’t get any better than that! Favorite sexy beast? Bigfoot is by far my number one. Then there are those sex crazed Centauri from Babylon 5…and of course there are those fabulous dragons. *sigh* What else do you write? I pretty much stick to the taboo, monster, dark fantasy erotic but I’m actually one of four pen names. Under two others I write poetry and erotic romance (M/F, M/M, F/F, and ménage). I also have a “good girl” pen name who has a free read on her blog at the moment. It’s a romantic suspense. “Our” evil day job is as a full time veterinarian. Makes for a very busy day let me tell you! Kiss/kill/marry: Bigfoot, a Grey alien, the Loch Ness Monster Kill the alien, kiss Loch Ness Monster and marry Bigfoot. LOL! What’s the best writing advice you ever heard? Write what you know and what brings your heart happiness. The best promotion is a large back list so get crackin’! Anything else you’d like to say? Thank you for having me here today. I’ve had a lot of fun talking about my favorite monsters and my writing. About the Author Tawny Savage has always enjoyed reading and writing taboo erotica that can bring all of our deepest darkest fantasies to life. Her tales aren’t for the faint of heart and won’t always have the happily ever after ending. You’ll laugh, cry and want to beat the hell out of some of her characters and that’s just fine with Tawny. She’ll help you do it! Join her for a ride you’ll never forget!
