Hi!

I’m Emily. Emily Swift.

So, let me tell you a little about myself. My ‘about me’ page seems like a good place to do that, yes?

I write stories. Mostly smutty ones, oscillating between ‘raunchy romance’ and ‘fetish porn’. Usually more on the porn side of the spectrum, if I’m honest. But you probably already know that, particularly if you’ve read some of them or had a look around the books section of this site.

But what about the rest of me? What about the woman behind the words?

Well, if I were to write my author bio (which I literally just did!), it would look like this:

Emily Swift is an author of erotic – and often downright pornographic – novels and short stories. When she’s not writing, she runs her own business as a project manager in the events industry. On her occasional days off, she likes reading, gardening and taking her beloved spaniel Roger out for long walks in the countryside.

Emily was born in Wales and now lives in a delightful little village in the south of England.

Lovely, yes? Just the sort of warm treacly goodness you expect to see on these things. But it doesn’t really tell you about me.

I’ll attempt to do that in the form of a FAQ section. Except nobody’s actually asked me any of this yet, so this is more of a NABPWBAFIAEAMAQ* section.

^{*(Never asked but probably would be asked frequently if anyone ever asked me any questions)}

So, what do you look like? Do you have a picture?

No, I don’t have a picture. Or rather, I have many, but not one I’m going to share here. Sorry.

The truth is, my day job is semi-respectable. I have to meet clients. I represent companies and their interests. Also, I have a mother and I have some friends that aren’t weird.

So considering the sort of things I often write about, I hope you can understand why I want to keep this side of me mostly anonymous. Slapping a picture on here might blow my cover someday, and I can’t be having that now, can I?

But if you really must know, I’m 5’6″, dress size 12 (UK), white, long wavy hair that goes curly in the rain. Reddish brown at the time of writing, but that’s subject to change without notice. I’ve been blonde, red, many shades of brown, even pink once.

I’d say my style is sort of boho chic with a dash of country girl. Or sometimes I just wear pajamas, and I won’t apologise for that.

How old are you?

First of all, that’s a rude question to ask. How dare you. Secondly, I’m 36.

So… sexuality?

Eh, sort of straight with some heavy bi leanings. I’ve certainly had more than a couple of lesbian flings in the past, and an actual for-real girlfriend for about six months in my younger days. I like who I like, regardless of gender (which I guess makes me pansexual?), but I find more often than not I go for the guys.

Are you single?

Yes, and currently quite happily so.

Tell me about your kinks.

That’s not a question. You didn’t even say please.

But okay then. If you’ve read any of my stuff, then you’ve probably guessed I’m quite into BDSM/bondage. And you’d be right. I’m mostly submissive IRL, but I have been the Dom before.

I’ve actually dabbled in quite a few different kinks in my time, but I’m not going to give a whole list here. That’s boring.

So what got you into writing?

I’ve always enjoyed it, right from when I was a teen (my first foray into writing was a cringingly bad Phoebe/Chandler fanfic, long since lost into the ether where it belongs). Mostly it’s been a way for me to flesh out my fantasies and bring my imagination to life; the majority of my writings never get close to being finished and I rarely read them back. The fun is in the writing for me.

But a few years ago, I wrote a few stories for a guy I was seeing. He loved them and said I should write them properly. So I did. And now here I am!
