USA - TEXAS - Having reached the grand age of 76 most grandmothers enjoy knitting, gardening and bingo, however Desiree Holt’s interests are somewhat different.
The Texan grandmother is a best-selling author of bondage, threesome, and 'sadomaschocistic' sex novels.
Rather than baking cakes Desiree has spent her retirement writing books such as ‘All Jacked Up’, ‘Carnal Caresses’ and ‘On the Prowl’.
After a successful career in journalism, PR, and music management, Desiree retired in 2000 and is now a successful author of erotic novels calling herself a ‘more graphic’ agony aunt.
After retirement her plan was to fulfill her life-long dream of writing crime fiction but her ambitions took a saucy twist after she picked up an erotic novel, and realised her creative thinking was better-suited to a world where handcuffs are used in an entirely different way.
She said: ‘I think that's because erotic romance is a powerful form of fantasy.
‘Women, and men too, can read it and imagine themselves in place of the characters, doing and feeling things they might be too shy about in their everyday existence.
'Many readers have told me that my stories give them the confidence to spice up their sex lives, experiment and express their sexuality. I guess in that respect I'm a bit like an agony aunt, only more graphic'
As inspiration for her work Desiree realised started visiting the underground sex scene, and joined online forums dedicated to fetishes, swinging and gay and lesbian sex.
‘The inspiration for the stories comes from every place and research is always ongoing.
‘I based the hero of one book on my doctor - simply because he's so sexy.
‘Another book, my novella All Jacked Up, I wrote for my son, because I wanted him to settle down.
‘It's about a man reaching forty who's still waiting for the woman of his dreams only to have the most unexpected female walk into his life. I think he appreciated my motherly concern.’
Desiree has now written 105 novels, novellas, and short stories, and has built up a range of contacts including mistresses, swingers, fetishists, and even an army soldier for her latest novel - Unconditional Surrender.
The books are published in the UK by Total-E-Bound Publishing.
Desiree, who lives in Texas, USA, thinks there will always be people who find her genre distasteful, and said: ‘I was nervous in the beginning because, while my kids are all adults, I am still 'Mom' to them and therefore shouldn't know this kind of stuff
'But they are my biggest supporters and brag about me a lot. Even my 20-year-old granddaughter thinks it's exciting.
‘But I do live in a very conservative community and occasionally someone will look at me as if I have a contagious disease when I reveal what I do.
‘I always tell them that maybe they should read one novella and see that it's really not what they think.
‘At its heart, erotic romance is still about exploring characters' relationships and emotions - the sex just helps reveal the intensity of their feelings.'
Although the grandmother's family refuse to read her books, they refer to affectionately refer to as the ‘Queen of Hill Country Erotica’.
