Greetings from Cyprus

Hi everyone, meet your Greek Cypriot connection.

*grin*

I am happy to be here in such good company. A big thank you to Marie Dees for inviting me. Pleased to meet you all.


I write erotic romance, mostly m/m, although I have been trying my hand at m/f, too, lately. Two erotica stories of mine have been published by Ravenous Romance, one in “Bedknobs and Beanstalks: An Anthology of m/m Fairy Tales” and the other in the anthology “I Kissed a Boy”. My short story “The Crown’s Blade” won the Grand prize of the Whispers Publishing contest “Make it Quick”. I have submitted an m/m erotica novel and two novellas with paranormal elements, waiting now to hear from the publishers, and am revising a paranormal erotica novel.
Jay Di Meo is my pen name. Cyprus is a very small and quite closed society, therefore being open about writing erotica isn’t really an option. Taking on a pen name is a decision I had to face from the moment I started writing and publishing erotica.


I am a woman, I am married, and I have returned to Cyprus after living sixteen years abroad – ever since I was eighteen. Being here, on this island, feels odd. I often feel like a stranger rather than a native. The society is traditional, religion rules, and everyone reports on your every move.


But life here also has its perks: safety, family, sunshine and warm climate for most of the year – and the sea is always near!  The many ruins littering the island give me ideas for stories, and the good food energy to write.


So, I am looking forward to spending my time here, blogging and reading and discussing all that has to do with writing and publishing.

Have a very nice day!
