Elizabeth Schechter has been called one of the top erotica and alternative sexuality writers in the world. Her writing credits include the award-winning steampunk erotic romance House of Sable Locks, the science fiction BDSM duology Tales from the Arena, and the Celtic fantasy Princes of Air. Her shorter work has appeared in anthologies edited by D.L King (Carnal Machines), Laura Antoniou (No Safewords), and Cecilia Tan (Jingle Balls_; Like a Prince).

Elizabeth lives in Central Florida with her husband and son, and a most accepting circle of friends who are both very amused and very proud of the pervy, fetish writer in their midst.

I know not everyone will like everything, and I accept that -- not everyone likes Hawaiian pizza, but I love the stuff. Same with writing. I know my writing won't appeal to everyone. Nine times out of ten, the ones who read and review and say "You know, this didn't work for me" are right, and it's something that I need to fix in later work.

That tenth time? Well, you can't please everyone!(less)

Poor Dylan -- I saw that his profile is gone. He's either been banned, or he's taken his ball and gone home. I hope he doesn't give up -- from the looks of things, the books he had up were his first. We all suck in the beginning. The trick is to keep going until you don't suck!(less)

Is This Thing On?

Tap. Taptap. Is this thing on?

I’m back. Did you miss me? Honestly, I know that the odds are good that most folks didn’t notice I was taking time off. But here we are in September, and it’s time for me to get back to work.

Sort of.

Because it took me much longer than I was planning to get The Coral Throne done, I’m not technically getting back to work yet. Not entirely, anyway. I’m working on edits

Quotes by Elizabeth Schechter  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I pulled on the restraints, frustrated, hurting, and completely devastated. I could feel tears sliding down my skin, into my ears, and back over my scalp. Which told me that they’d cut off my hair, too. For some reason, that little bit of vanity was what it took to undo me completely.”
Elizabeth Schechter, Heart's Master

“Reason is intelligence taking exercise. Imagination is intelligence with an erection.”
Victor Hugo

“What are the facts? Again and again and again – what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!”
Robert Heinlein

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
Robert A. Heinlein

“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
Robert A. Heinlein

“It is impossible for anyone to be responsible for another person's behavior. The most you or any leader can do is to encourage each one to be responsible for himself.”
Robert Heinlein
