Erotic author Rory Sheriff has been weaving a tale about a character that may seem as if its him, but readers take note, Sheriff is not Dontae "Serious" Moseley. Sure, they share a radio background, but the rest is just the authors imagination at work.
And if you liked what Serious did in Getn Serious, which was released in 2006, then get ready for part two.
Sheriff spoke with Creative Loafing about erotica, fans and his upcoming releases.
Creative Loafing: Introduce us to your work.
Rory Sheriff: My first book [Getn Serious] is about a radio personality and hes trying to find his way in life. Hes a bachelor, hes financially stable. He has everything, but he just doesnt have love. Its one of those things where theres this one girl in his life and he over looks her. Shes actually the one and he goes through a lot of trials and tribulations and women just to find out that love was right there in his face.
Where do you find inspiration to write erotic novels?
I pull it from a lot of my fantasies. Id like to say Dontae is my alter-ego. If I am fantasying about something, I just write it down and Im just blown away by some of the stuff. Im afraid to share it with somebody and tell them, so I just turn it into a book. It keeps me out of trouble and keeps me from looking like a perv. (Laughter)
What has the reaction been to your book?
Its been great. My core audience is women. Erotica is something that is flying under the radar, its so big yet so taboo. But the response to it is so incredible.
Why do you think so many of your fans are women?
Well, women are expected to act a certain way in public, thus the term a lady in the streets and a freak in the bed. Its a taboo for women to openly be sexual and embrace their sexuality. So, for women to read our books [erotica] it pacifies that want and desire.

One of the many mistresses in golfer Tiger Woods's life has released intimate text messages.
Yeah, the porn star did it.
Check out her site and laugh for all the wrong reasons. See what I mean when I said romance was dead.
So, Reader's Digest has 50 ways to be romantic.
Hasn't anyone told them that romance is dead? Buried? Taking a long dirt nap?
We're sexting. We're hooking up on Twitter. We are not being romantic. And if you follow RD's advice, I'm thinking you're not going to be doing anything.
Fake a power outage at home. (Loosen the fuses or throw the breaker switches.) With no TV to tempt you with no computer to occupy you with no furnace to heat you you pretty much have no choice but to get out the candles, huddle around the fireplace and be romantic!
So, lying is romantic now?
Call your partner from work, every-hour-on-the-hour, just to say "I love you."
That might be cute for two hours, but if you work eight hours a day, those phone calls are going to be redundant and stupid. Now, don't get me wrong, I love a bit a romance. But this is the kind of stuff that you don't even read about in romance novels even the cheesy ones with Fabio on the cover.

The first clue that something is off about you minister is the fact that his name is Magic Jeff.
But in Georgia, the former reverend Magic Jeff is going to jail.
A former youth minister and magician who went by the name Magic Jeff pleaded guilty to a federal child pornography charge Tuesday in an agreement that could get him 20 years in prison and a lifetime on probation.
People, your preacher should not have a stripper name. If he or she does, this will probably happen:
Jeffrey Alan Wasley, 38, came to the attention of law enforcement in late 2008 after he approached two boys in a restroom at a Target. In the following investigation, local and federal authorities found more than 17,000 images of child pornography on his computers, including videos Wasley surreptitiously took of boys using public bathrooms.
