Flipside Erotica

Wicked Thorn and Roses is excited to feature Darren Michaels and Flipside Erotica!

Can you tell us a little about Flipside Erotica? This book is a collection of 24 erotic stories; twelve from the man's point of view and the same 12 from the woman's point of view. The book is printed with two covers, and the reader would literally flip the book over to reader the other point of view. Some of the stories in the book are true, and some of them are fictional. The average story length is about 7 pages.

It sounds like a unique spin on erotica fiction. How did you come up with the idea? When I first started writing stories like these I always wrote from my perspective. I wanted to really stretch myself as a writer, so I tried writing a story from the point of view of the woman. I showed it to a few people and they didn't believe me when I told them that I had written it. I figured that was a good sign I was believeable as a woman, and so the idea was born. I started out by writing just in the mans' point of view and then "translating it" into the woman's, but now I can write freely in either view.

What's one interesting but fun fact about you?
My life is one big distraction between fly fishing trips.


Where can readers find your book or more information about you?
I have a website set up for the book, and it has a story excerpt, a free "internet only" story for people who have purchased the book, and I am adding audio files that have my voice for the man's side and several different women who have offered to help out. Some are the actual person from the story and some are just friends. The website address is http://www.flipside-erotica.com/

Thanks for visiting us, Darren! Readers: feel free to leave comments and/or questions!

Talk to you soon,
Wendy Ely
