About myself as a writer…
I’ve been published in the web primarily at www.cleansheets.com (since 2001) for literary erotica and poetry under the noms de plume Valentina Bonnaire, Valentine Bonnaire and Adrianna de la Rosa. Many of my short stories can be found in their archives. I hold a BA in Art/Art History and an MA in Depth Psychology. I’m a member (under my real name!) of a very prominent Writer’s Conference in SoCal and this year want to focus on learning to write screenplays with psychological themes and cures embedded in the story line…
Besides writing…
I paint, sometimes abstract colorfields and lately en plein air…clouds, waves, the horizon line and various weather conditions in the sky. I like the colors the light makes at all hours & the magic shadows throw on things — like magic lanterns in a way. I love pastels and gelato (all kinds).
xxoo!

I always debate whether I should sign the front or the back — most plein air painters sign on the front?
Dunno…
ps: read about some other famous writers who wrote in the same genre I have!
Even screenwriters! I have written satire, romantic stuff, you name it…but, what I write is heterosexual sex only…
Henry Miller did it, and so did Anais!
I’m currently writing a YA novel for the 13-14 set. It’s a tiny pre-romance, in a way. I’m writing that as a therapist might?
A story with some hope in it, perhaps… and a first crush…
Way different than my old genre, but, love stories are neat…to try and do…
Reassuring to know I keep such intriguing, talented company. All the best!

Thanks for checking out my blog. I am very new to this and it´s a bit intimidating. Of course I take cover by being a bit agressive. I like your blog as well and am looking forward to reading more of your writing. I write very personal introspective bits about my life and especially my dreams. If you´re interested, I´ll keep you posted.
Cheers!
Thanks for the nice words, and for visiting!
