The Kind of Writer That You Want To Be…Is Not The Writer You Are Going To Become
When Marley K. started writing, like myself, she started by writing erotica. Like me, Marley wanted to express the sensuality and sexuality that comes with being a Black woman. She wanted to share with the world the idea that Black women enjoy sex in a variety of ways. So did I. I found that out…
