Natasha: Hi JC! Thank you for the interview. Can you tell our readers about yourself and when did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
JC: I’ve enjoyed writing for fun since I was in high school. I had a creative writing course that sparked the chance to write simply for the joy in it. Over the years I dabbled in writing but never really committed. I used to wander on a writer’s site, never submitted work, just enjoyed hanging out on the forums. One of my friends there challenged me to join in a year long contest and that brought out my competitive nature. The more I wrote, the more I got into the community, and became hooked with it.
Natasha: When it comes to writing, do you have a certain routine or writing process that allows the ideas to flow better?
JC: The more I write, the more I find I do better in quiet environments. I can write just about anywhere or at any time, so long as the environment is quiet. Typically I tend to let ideas float around for a little while, working out the edges so when I finally get some quiet time I’m able to just let it flow out.
Natasha: What kind of stories do you write and what does your family think of your writing?
JC: I write erotica, typically impregnation, pregnancy fetish, and reverse harem. My wife is rather supportive of my work and occasionally enjoys indulging in reading the material or helping me to figure out how a scene should look.
Natasha: Let’s talk about your latest book. Can you talk about how you came up with the title and a little about the story?
JC: My latest book is Teacher Dreams, it was written to be a part of a summer anthology called Summer Sessions. We are all former or current teachers and we wrote our stories with the theme of teachers during the summer. Teacher Dreams is a story about two young women who have had an on-again, off-again relationship since high school. Now that college is over, they’ve reunited. A chance meeting at the gym leaves them with the chance to live out one of their high school fantasies, bedding their physics teacher.
Natasha: How many stories have you written so far? And what do you want readers to take away from your work?
JC: I have 47 books published and many dozens more that I wrote prior to publishing to hone my craft. My takeaway would be that sex can be a beautiful thing between consenting partners of all sexualities. The characters I write can take any form (my stories include characters who are futa, trans, crossdressers, bi, and lesbian) with various motivations but what brings them together is the joy that they encounter with each other and that brief moment of pure pleasure that one can bring to another.
Natasha: Besides writing, what do you enjoy doing on your spare time to relax?
JC: I do a lot of volunteer work in disaster areas. Love to go hiking, camping, and fishing. We also just installed a wood stove in our house, so I’ve been enjoying gathering and splitting wood to dry out for the stove.
Natasha: Can you share with our readers any future projects that you are working on?
JC: I am currently working on the 4th installment in the Project Repopulate series. This series takes place in a world where a third World War has occurred and consequently wiped out a large portion of the population. In a desperate bid to rebuild their population and regain control of the world’s economy, Congress has authorized Project Repopulate. In return for putting careers and school aside to have children, participants will have schooling, housing, and a stipend from the government.
Levi is a WW3 veteran who just wishes to finish off his degree, take a decent position in a tech company, keep his head down, and live out the rest of his life. However, one of the school’s deans has other plans for the former infantryman.
Natasha: How can our readers learn more about you and your books?
JC: I solely publish on Amazon and can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/JC-Winchester/e/B00R1H6XFQ
About JC Winchester:
JC Winchester grew up reading just about anything he could get his hands on, from cereal boxes to the Hardy Boys. He loves most forms of fiction, particularly fantasy and military sci-fi, with some of his favorite authors including John Ringo, Robert Jordan, and Tom Clancy.
After several years in the Navy he enrolled in a community college and eventually to a university in the mountains. There he settled down, savoring a life not filled with the noises of the city but instead the sounds of bellowing cattle.
When not writing he can usually be found taking care of the horses on his place, riding, hiking, fishing, or the never ending task of splitting firewood.
(Los Angeles, CA / June 19, 2020) -- Shameless Sex Podcast hosts April Lampert and Amy Baldwin discuss the crushing stress of relationship collapse, particularly during the coronavirus lockdown, on their latest podcast episode, ‘Breakups and Heartache’, at Shamelesssex.com.
The duo is encouraging the suddenly-single to embrace their fears, speak up when they need help - calling on good friends to be there while going through the motions of grief, sadness and anger - and realize that being alone in 2020 isn’t such a bad idea after all.
“After facing a recent breakup, April and I were motivated to devote an episode to this personally painful subject, where I openly share my heartache and vulnerability while offering tips for listeners who may be going through the same,” said Baldwin, who noted that the combination of “a good support system, nature, meditation and tequila” helped her tremendously.
“We’ve already received countless responses from listeners thanking us and/or saying they are in the middle of it as well. It seems like it’s in the air, and it’s extra challenging considering what we are all going through during COVID 19.”
Baldwin added that this uncertain period in time is “a golden opportunity to highlight how to navigate breakups; a lot of folks are miserable in their relationships, but are too scared to leave because they are afraid dating will be too hard during COVID. Well, it’s summer and summer is the perfect time to get out of those dead-end relationships.”

Natasha: Hi Jessica! Thank you for the interview. Can you tell our readers about yourself and how you got started as a writer?
Jessica: I am Jessica G. Rabbit. I am an adult Film actress, Erotica writer, Podcaster, and an advocate for US Sex Workers.
I have been writing since the age of 11. Writing was a creative outlet I used as well as an escape from the grief in my life. At that time I was struggling with the loss of a sibling, and had been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. Music, movies and creative writing essentially saved my life. At The age of 14, I was inspired by the 1995 movie Basketball diaries to write poetry. Who can resist a young Leo pouring out his feelings? Not me. Because of that I had my first published work.
Natasha: How would you describe your style of writing?
Jessica: I describe my writing style as explicit and delicious. Great dialogue and steamy sex scenes.
Natasha: When it comes to writing, do you have a certain routine or writing process that allows the ideas to flow better?
Jessica: I always write in a stylish journal first my first twenty chapters. I enjoy writing at night. For me my life slows down and I can really write with no interruption and focus my time and attention on the flow of the story and fresh from my mind onto paper. I usually wait a few days before chapter proofing. That helps me correct any dialogue or spelling.
Natasha: Let’s talk about your latest book. Can you talk about how you came up with the title and a little about the story?
Jessica: This story is the sequel to a book I have previously written and published in 2018 called; The Return of Maleficent.
In that story, Sleeping Beauty's nemesis, Maleficent is resurrected by the three 'Good Fairies' to end the sleeping curse that is once more on the loose. Their combined magic proved to be too strong and ended up turning Maleficent from the dark Queen of Magic into the beautiful young woman she once was before she cursed the world and swore her revenge upon it.
I hoped by writing Medusa: The Awakening, it also makes you ponder about the strong influence the #metoo movement would have had on these women and other women's lives. When Medusa had been violated would she have had to suffer so cruelly at the hands of the gods? What if Maleficent hadn't had to turn evil and instead, was just a normal girl, living a quiet, peaceful life?
I hope through these books I can at least try to give them a different narrative. I hope we all can see that if these 'villains' can have happy endings then we, as every day people should at least try and do the same.
Natasha: Are you like any of the characters that you write about? And why?
Jessica: Yes. I think all my characters have a central theme, being self-love and following their hearts. I am definitely like them in that sense. I follow my gut and my heart and it has always led me to love.
Natasha: What do you like about writing erotic stories?
Jessica: I enjoy the Freedom it gives. The dialogue. The characters. The sets. All of it can be whatever you want.
Natasha: Could you see any of your books turned into a film? Which one(s) and why?
Jessica: Yes. The Bet-Everyone loves a steamy look into the sex life of a beautiful adult film star. Closing Costs-Everyone loves a steamy Love Triangle with a dramatic twist. Jewel of Humanity- Everyone loves to be swept away in an otherworldly action -packed love story. Medusa: The Awakening- It’s never been done and the story illuminates the shrouded truth of it. Ugly Duckling- Everyone loves a homely girl turned beautiful love story.
Natasha: Besides writing, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time to relax?
Jessica: In my spare time, besides writing, I enjoy going to museums. When I can’t do that. I enjoy cooking for my family.
Natasha: Can you share with our readers any future projects that you are working on?
Jessica: I am currently working on three books. I know! I am also working with Amazon to get my books on Amazon Audible.
Natasha: How can our readers learn more about you and your books?
Jessica: You can follow me on Twitter: @myownlilcorner.
(Featured Poet Introduction at the New York Browning Society, 2019)
Of all the subjects at a writer's disposal, love is perhaps the most popular. Quite amazingly, in defiance to wars, famine, economic strife, and this world's ravenous necrogenic appetite, the topic of love endures. Again, I say, this world literary feeds on death. And, yet, love inspires both professional writers and dilettantes. From school children to scholars, love is a favored premise in verses.
It is my modest belief that a poet cannot write a profound composition about love until he or she experiences the hardships of pain, rejection, and loneliness that the world offers. For it is thru abject conditions writers appreciate the divine greatness of Eros, Philia, Ludus, Agape, Pragma, Philautia, and Storge. Allow me to elucidate. Try to imagine obscene wealth. Gifted with every lavish resource in the world, you would grow weary due to the opulence of it all. Let's say that with the wealth, you could eat anything you want at any time you want. After a while, you would no longer appreciate the flavor or texture of the meal. The meal would become quite banal. It would be soporific, indeed. This, too, could be said of love. If your every desire is satisfied all the time, you will learn to take it for granted. Now and then, or perhaps more often than that, you hear couples use a phrase like this: He or she does not appreciate me anymore. Alas, to quote Shakespeare: "Ay, there's the rub."
That aforesaid thought brings me to my point. The reason why the poems and letters of Robert and Elizabeth Browning effectively express love so well is because of the fact that they endured loneliness and pain in their lives. Their connubial union was fate's gift after years of anguish. Elizabeth's illness and her father's disapproval of her romantic relationship did not impede her love for Robert. Built on affection, respect, and words, the Brownings created a relationship for the ages.
Throughout history, as we all know, some of the greatest loves endured emotional blizzards, hurricanes of hostility, and a tsunami of sentiments. Somehow, in spite of the onslaught of trepidations, love remained undaunted. Today, love poetry still communicates by telling us, with each word, despite environmental, racial, and terroristic problems, there is still human warmth. Even in a world of inexhaustible unpleasantness, there is till the beauty of love. This point was not lost on the Brownings, and it should not be lost on us, either.
October 6, 2019, Fox premiered its highly anticipated new American sci-fi drama television series Batwoman at 9:00 p.m. starring Ruby Rose, who is the first LGBTQ lead to star in a self-titled/solo TV series. Batwoman is empowering, dark, sad, and a character-driven drama with good action that keeps the viewer engaged. It is so much fun to watch.
The story begins three years after billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne and his iconic vigilante alter-ego Batman mysteriously disappeared from Gotham City. His absence left the city divided and in despair. Some citizens hope he’ll be back, but others believe he’s dead. In response to the crime of Gotham City, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) creates the military-grade Crow Security, a private firm that protects the city. On the night Mayor Michael Akins holds an event to permanently turn off the iconic Bat-Signal and announces that the Crow Security will help to keep Gotham City safe, the event is crashed by the Alice Wonderland gang led by Alice (Rachel Skarsten) who kill the police officers that were going to shut down the Bat-Signal and kidnaps Crows agent Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy).
For the past 15 years, Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) has been living around the world training with some of the best combat and defense specialists in order to join her father’s company, Crow Security, but her training is cut short when she receives the news of the kidnapping of her ex-girlfriend, Sophie Moore, from her stepsister, Mary Hamilton. There is a flashback scene of the old lovers kissing. The two lesbian lovers attended Point Rock Academy, a military school, and quickly fell in love. Unfortunately, when the academy finds out about their relationship, each of them is given an option: sign an affidavit denying any past, present, or future homosexual activity, or expulsion. Kate chooses expulsion. Sophie Moore doesn’t, which devastates Kate.
Upon returning to Gotham City, Kate Kane reunites with her father, Jacob Kane. After a visit to Wayne Enterprises and an encounter with Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises' tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate heads out to find Sophie after doing detective work and has a brief encounter with members of the Wonderland Gang at the Burnside Orphanage. In that scene, Alice has "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat" written on the wall behind her chair. It's the name of a poem recited by Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Kate informs Jacob Kane that the Wonderland Gang’s vendetta is him. Now, the two share a common enemy: Alice.
Returning to Wayne Enterprises, Kate discovers the Batcave. There she learns her cousin, Bruce Wayne, is Batman. Kate has a flashback on the day she lost her mother and sister in a car crash. Batman tried to save the car, but quickly dashed away to apprehend the villain. His oversight resulted in the death of Kate’s mother, and the believed death of her sister, Beth Kane. Kate believed Batman betrayed her. She spent her whole life hating him while growing up with her beloved cousin, Bruce. Kate learns that her cousin was the hero she grew to hate, but for all the wrong reasons. When she sees the newspaper clippings about her family’s death still up in the Batcave, Luke Fox explains to her that Batman failed to account for structural issues with the car, and that he never forgave himself. Borrowing some gadgets and revamping the bat costume, Kate becomes Batwoman.
At the Gotham City Movie in the Park event, Jacob Kane gets a call from Alice stating that she has Sophie standing on a balanced plank at a nearby construction site and has planted a bomb in the Crows van. He can either give up the movie or give up Sophie. Batwoman shows up from the shadows of the night where she subdues the Wonderland Gang members and fights Alice. After Alice shoots a water-filled barrel to make Sophie fall, Batwoman rescues her. This is the first time she’s face-to-face with her ex-girlfriend since they were at Point Rock Academy. Batwoman then heads back up to find that Alice got away leaving her knife behind. When a young girl sees Batwoman soaring in the sky she says to her mom, “Mommy! Look, it’s Batman!”
The next morning, Vesper Fairchild reports on "Batman's Return" and the citizens of Gotham City expresses their excitement. Kate Kane meets Sophie Moore's fiancรฉ, Tyler. The introduction leaves Kate sad as she walks away. While in the Batcave, Kate Kane decides to continue the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind as the new dark knight vigilante. She spends fifteen years searching for a place she fits. She finally found that place in Gotham City. Kate soon figures out that Alice is her presumed dead sister, Beth Kane, whose body Batman was unable to find. At her lair, Alice states to a picture of her younger self and Kate that they will rule Gotham City.
The hype is real, and Batwoman is easily one of the best sci-fi series on FOX. I cannot wait to see more of the show!
