Specifically I asked for people to give me a couple interview-type questions so I could talk about the answers to them. Luckily for me, Lisa Emme came to my rescue and asked me a couple questions.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re curious about what the Canadian connection in all this is, it\u2019s me. I\u2019m Canadian so therefore when I answer questions about myself it\u2019s Canadian content. Or something. All right, I admit that\u2019s a pretty weak connection, but I was really stumped :-p<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the strangest &#8216;prop&#8217; you have ever written into a sex scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t used very many truly unusual things, actually. Which makes me a little sad in retrospect. Recently I did write a story that involved anal sex out in the middle of a magical forest so I had to come up with some natural lubrication and invented a plant I, oh so creatively, called the slickorice plant (rhymes with licorice). That might count as pretty unusual \ud83d\ude09 Other than that\u2026 I think really I should just take this as a challenge. What kind of strange \u2018prop\u2019 would you like to see me use in a sex scene? I\u2019ll choose one (or more) and incorporate them into my next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/erotica\/under-glass\/\"><strong>Erotica Under Glass<\/strong><\/a> adventure (I think it\u2019ll start in February).<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are planning a story where ink and kink meet. Do you have any tattoos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am actually planning an anthology where ink and kink meet. It\u2019s going to be called<a href=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/kinked\/\"><strong> kINKED and it opens to submissions on January 1st<\/strong><\/a> (that\u2019s Friday!). And I do, in fact, have tattoos. I have three so far, and plans to get several more. I love tattoos. My most recent one is on my left shoulderblade and it\u2019s of my logo. A magpie my partner drew for me:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-855 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.corividae.com\/shiny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/shoulder.jpg\" alt=\"shoulder\" width=\"218\" height=\"128\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to the final question\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>And finally, what&#8217;s with the crow? Your name is even a play on the scientific name for the crow family is it not (Corvidae &#8211; I have a zoology background lol)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My name IS a play on the scientific name for the crow family. Good catch \ud83d\ude42 The logo is meant to be a magpie though, not a crow.<\/p>\n<p>I love corvids. I love how clever they are, how playful and mischievous. When it was time for me to pick a new pen name I thought I\u2019d steal the word Corvidae and turn it into a name. A handily placed i later I was on my way.<\/p>\n<p>Cori Vidae.<\/p>\n<p>I think it works \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<hr width=\"50%\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>This year&#8217;s theme is &#8216;Fill Up Your E-Reader&#8217; so owe&#8217;re giving away a bunch of awesome digital books.
