The character Bonnie is an escape. She speaks what I hold
back. Is confident where I’m not and daring where I wish I was…well, not in
some areas. Her sexual freedom is complete fiction written for those who enjoy
reading erotic/erotica.
I wanted my female lead to be someone in control, but not
controlling as in overpowering. There’s little that will phase her or cause her
to doubt herself or Boris. The insecurity and uncertainty which lives in us all
was something I didn’t want in my erotic characters. They’re based on the
general feel I’ve taken from watching documentaries on people who swing, share
their wives/husbands. These stories are strong…I hope…in Bonnie’s sexual life
which is separate from her day-to-day lives.
My plan for Bonnie is one where she will “play” with those she
considers close and trustworthy friends. Beyond that she is not one to randomly
have sex with someone simply because it will feel good. I’ve taken the stand
with Bonnie and Boris that they’re sexually open, but have more personal rules
than some who play a wider field. No, judgement is not being passed.
When creating characters a writer needs to know and set the
boundaries, rules, beliefs for that character. It’s how we learn who we are
writing and how they will interact with others in the story. How the story will
make them behave, react. Even then they’ll take us in directions we don’t
anticipate.
Bonnie’s a mother because I’m a mother. I know her feelings
for her children because of my own. I wanted to share this aspect to my
possible readers, let alone the fun of balancing being a sexual partner, being,
with children and their surprises. I didn’t know how many children, daughters
or sons, ages, this all came about as the stories were being written. So did
the pets…both children and animals had no names, no descriptions for the first
book and not much until writing the second.
For some strange reason Bonnie’s parents are deceased. I don’t
know why, maybe I didn’t want to deal with writing about parents whose daughter
is having wild sex?
I tried to find a name which didn’t match anyone I knew. One
that didn’t belong to anyone I had an impression about. Well, it wasn’t until
well after book one was written and near published that I realized I did know a
person called, Bonnie. If you ever guess…or know who I am…my fictional Bonnie
is completely that – fictional.
This is about it for introducing Bonnie. I’m sure there will
be more to share as the stories develop and I get to know Bonnie. That’s the
best part of creating a character, they grow and really do take on a life of
their own.
