You may well be visiting me because of an interest in my book How to Catch and Keep a Vampire: A Step-by-Step Guide to Loving the Bad and the Beautiful. If so, I welcome you, fellow vampirophile! Please visit the Vampires page to learn about my books and stories that may be of particular interest to you--some of them are free! But before I was discovered to have an "in" with the undead, I was best known for my tasteful, sensual romance stories, which I call "erotica with soul." I've written my many "Soulful Sex" tales with a very specific goal in mind: to show how sex can possess a purity, a cleanness, a truly spiritual beauty. I believe the power of sex in literature is derived from the personalities it engages; it is the union of souls, the commingling of distinct personalities, which provides us a better understanding of the purpose and value and beauty of sex. Through my stories, I try to find new ways to tap into the innocent, pure, spiritual source of joy that sex can be. Visit my "erotica with soul" page for more on why and how I write erotic romance. My novels Souls' Embrace and Bloodchained, meanwhile, are romantic paranormals, suspenseful with a good dash of spiciness. While less "graphic" than my anthologies (and suitable for young adult readers), these novels deal with some of the same engrossing themes: attraction, intimacy, desire and trust, submission and dominance, and the bonds between souls. Lastly there is my most recent book, Looking on Darkness. It's a mainstream novel about a kind of psychic vampirism, in which I explore my favorite concepts from Jungian psychoanalytic theory. And that's a mouthful! Please write to me at dianalaurence@wi.rr.com.
I'd love to hear from you!

Or maybe not explicit enough? To find out what I write, and don't write, and decide whether my writing might be for you, I suggest you visit my "erotica with soul" page.

Some pretty strange stuff...check out my Alter Egos. Yes, that was pretty strange. Are you up to anything else? I love working in polymer clay. I'm really quite addicted! You can see my jewelry, switchplates and sculptures in my Polymer Clay Gallery. I do dabble in a little drawing and painting sometimes; here's my little Art Gallery.
