Author Spotlight: Patient Lee

She is a fun, quirky lady with a dirty imagination and fantasies that know no boundaries. She is also a devoted teacher, mother and wife who enjoys dabbling in what she calls “erotic realism”, the secret and spicy sexual life of ordinary folks that rarely find their place in erotic romance. Her tales combine the naughty, the kinky and the heart warming. It was a huge pleasure to invite Ms. Patient Lee for a little intimate chat.

Lilah: Hello Patient, thanks for taking time off your busy schedule to come and meet us. You describe your style of writing as “erotic realism”. Tell us more about it. How did you figure out that was your niche? Have you always been writing of ordinary people?

Patient: I didn’t realize there were other ways to write erotica. I never read fantasy or sci-fi, so I didn’t know I was doing something different. I haven’t even read Fifty Shades of Grey, so writing about billionaires didn’t occur to me. I started writing about my husband and me, and when I progressed into fiction, I stuck with people who were like us. Since then I’ve branched out of my comfort zone, writing about crab fishermen, gay men, homeless women, but I’m still drawn to the nitty-gritty, down-and-dirty, regular life of regular people.

Lilah: Did you ever write in genres different from erotica and romance?

Patient: Not yet. I will. I’m looking for another niche. I think about writing mysteries or something, but I don’t know much about police officers or detectives or anything. There’s a “writers’ police academy” in Wisconsin during the summer that I’m interested in attending. If I could learn the lingo and the procedures to make my characters realistic, I’d be interested.

I have written a couple of chapters of a children’s novel with my thirteen-year-old daughter, but I have a long way to go on that.

Lilah: How do you combine your love of writing with family life and a full-time job? Do you schedule your time for writing? Do you have any rituals you need to get in the mood?

bannerPatient: I’m a hot mess. I haven’t written too much in the last year. I got hung up on a story I was working on for an anthology, and it took me half a year to give up and move on. I teach high school, so it isn’t just the work that keeps me from writing. It’s hard to think sexy thoughts when I’m worrying about a student, or a project, or how far behind I am in grading their work.

My family is supportive. I do tend to get tunnel vision when I’m writing, and I forget to grocery shop or cook dinner, but for the most part, my husband and children are proud of me for being a writer. Right now my struggle is the amount of time I spend driving my kids to the skating rink. I hate to drive, and I resent that I can’t do anything else while I’m driving.

I don’t have rituals, but I write much better when I’m sitting at my camper, overlooking the creek. We’re there every weekend from April to October, and I spend most of the summer break there.

Lilah: What is the most challenging about being a self-published author? What frustrates you the most and what is the sweetest part of it?

Patient: I am not a salesperson. I’m not good at marketing myself. I crave feedback more than money, so I end up giving away too many books.

What frustrates me the most is the roadblocks indies encounter. Amazon deleting reviews, Facebook blocking accounts—it pisses me off.

The sweetest part of self-publishing is knowing that I don’t have to worry about a publisher closing shop or taking the money and running. The sweetest part of the whole thing is getting feedback from readers who truly enjoy my books. It’s better than the bit of money I’m earning.

Lilah: Tell us more about the Radio Challenge? How did you come up with it and what is your favorite Radio Challenge story?

Patient: The Radio Challenge came about after a challenge on Literotica’s Authors’ Hangout. FAWC 4- Friendly Anonymous Writing Challenge. FAWC 4 was a music challenge. There were four songs to choose from, and I chose Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips. The line “LA was too much for the man” spoke to me. I thought, “What is another situation in which someone might leave home seeking fame and fortune?” Crab fishing. My LA became a crab boat called the Lost Agnes.

Because having a male/female relationship on a crab boat presented its own challenge, so I tried something new—gay male romance. The crab boat setting also gave me the opportunity to try writing in a grammatically incorrect, working man’s dialect, which I really enjoyed.

I won the challenge. The prize was a virtual trophy and bragging rights, but it was my sweetest contest win because the authors of the stories weren’t revealed until the winner was announced, so it wasn’t a popularity contest like so many other contests. This one was selected by my peers, and no one guessed that I was the author.

I discuss this story and the FAWC challenges in depth on my blog here: http://patientleewriting.blogspot.com/2016/07/another-dirty-excerpt-gay-greenhorn-on.html

After this one, I started finding inspiration in songs all the time. This playlist contains some of the songs that inspired some of my stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOMiaxBuz4TGd3Wl_QGVkLFRrI4t4B1Sy

I don’t remember the moment I had the idea for the Radio Challenge, but I wish other authors would take part because I love it. You listen to your favorite radio station, and when the NEXT song comes on, write a story inspired by the song. Send it to me and I feature it on my website. Check it out and participate! http://www.patientlee.com/radio-.html

Lilah: Favorite character out of your writing?

Patient: http://www.patientlee.com/mrs.-maitland-s-sad-valentine.html Mrs. Maitland. She’s a widow in her forties who falls in love with the twentysomething custodian who cleans her biology classroom. She breeds ball pythons for Valentine’s Day, and gives pussy licking lessons to her young lover, using a biology textbook before the practical exam in the bedroom.

http://www.patientlee.com/sharing-her-heart.html I also wrote a prequel where she meets her first husband in high school. I’m crazy fond of this story.

Lilah: Is there something you’d like to write about but you haven’t dared so far?

Patient: There are a lot of things I’d like to write, but number one on the list is a novel. I have three outlined. I just don’t get enough writing time to commit to such a large project. One is about an older woman who falls in love with a tattoo artist. Since I don’t have a single tattoo, I figure I should wait for that experience to write the story. (And I won’t be getting a tattoo any time soon. I have three kids. They’re expensive.)

Lilah: What can we expect from Patient Lee? Future writing plans?

Patient: Right now I’m working on a short story called Breathless: A Nuptial Tragedy. It’s about foster siblings’ wedding night. It’s not incest or anything, foster care was where they met. It’s for my next collection, Quick & Dirty Volume Two: Milestones.

The first volume consists of five stories of exhibitionism and voyeurism. The new book is about five milestones in adults’ lives: losing one’s virginity, marriage proposal, the wedding night, first pregnancy, and a funeral. (Unrelated stories, not the same characters)

Lilah: Thanks a lot for sharing your quirky, sensual self with us. As a final question, is there any fact about you that very few people know or suspect of?

Patient: My real self is very private, but my writer self doesn’t keep too many secrets. Pretty much everything is out there. I’m married to my husband of 20 years, and I have a girlfriend too. That’s probably the most interesting part, so I’ll leave you that.

Thanks, Lilah. This was a fun interview!

A NAUGHTY EXCERPT

Mrs. Maitland’s SAD Valentine

Her mouth enveloped the tip and she teased it with her tongue. He moaned again, and she moved her head down, taking him all the way to the back of her mouth. She pulled off his cock for a moment, “I forgot how good this tastes. It’s all over my mouth.” With a smile on her face, Judy dipped her head lower and licked his balls, eliciting a loud groan from her young lover.

“Oh, my god,” was all he could manage to say.

Her tongue continued up his shaft to the sensitive spot where it met the head. She collected some saliva and used it to flick her tongue back and forth on this spot with no friction. His hands went to her head, and she turned up the speed.

As she fellated him, she thought about the absurdness of the situation. Here she was at age forty-eight, giving him head like she was a horny teenager. She hadn’t had a cock in her mouth since her husband died.

Her tongue did most of the work, licking around the head and down his shaft and back to tease the pre-cum out of his slit. When she took him all the way in again, she realized that his length was too much for her. Almost two inches of cock remained exposed. She took her fingers and wrapped them around the base of his cock.  She jerked, just a little bit, in time with the movements of her tongue. His hips bucked and his fingers twitched rhythmically in her hair. She could tell he was getting close, and she moaned on his cock to encourage him.  

Brad couldn’t manage rational thought. The best he could do was grunt. He wanted to warn Judy, and give her the opportunity to move, but it was too late. “Ung . . . Coming . . . Ung . . .”

Judy kept licking and jerking, and she braced herself to catch his cum. The base of his cock twitched against her fingers. She looked up at him, but his eyes were closed.

When the first spurt hit the roof of her mouth, she was almost overcome with emotion. It had been so long since she’d been with a man, and the salty-sour taste of cum flooded her with memories and hope for the future all at the same time.

She sucked every drop and swallowed before she sat up. Tears rolled from her eyes.

She crawled up next to Brad and put her head on the pillow. It was a long moment before Brad could do more than moan. He finally turned to look at Judy and saw her tears.

“What? Did I gag you? I’m sorry . . .”

“No, sweetheart. I’m a little bit emotional. I haven’t done that in a long time,” she said.

“I wanted to warn you, but I couldn’t talk. I’m sorry,” he said.

“Brad, stop saying that. It’s not about your cum. It’s about you. I’m so happy you’re here,” she said.

“I’m happy I’m here too. I’m even happier now that I’ve had the most amazing blowjob of my life. I would not have guessed that you would do that.”

“I was married for twenty-four years. Your generation didn’t invent the blowjob, you know. Robert was quite fond of oral sex, both giving and receiving. And yes. I swallow,” she added with a smile.

A KINKY EXCERPT

Collared in the Temple of Dendur

That he held my arm was the only sign that we were at the museum together once we broke our kiss. We didn’t speak. I imagined that we looked more like colleagues than lovers. He carried a briefcase; I had a leather folio, perfect for note taking. Perhaps other museum visitors thought we were professor and student. Maybe boss and secretary. Certainly not two people about to fuck in the antechamber of the Temple of Dendur in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I wanted to tell him that I was nervous. That maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. What if someone saw us and knew what we were doing? What if a guard or a security camera caught sight of our lewd act in public? What if someone from his department saw us fucking in the museum exhibit? Wouldn’t it damage his reputation? He had much more to lose than I. I was screaming these questions in my head, but I wouldn’t make a sound without his permission. I had to be good and do what I was told, or he’d take my hand and march me right out of the museum. This was my fantasy, after all, and I had to earn its fulfillment.

At least, I thought it was my fantasy. When we discussed it, my wrists and ankles were bound tightly to his bed. He was teasing me with a feather that looked like a cat toy, and by the time I spewed it, I would have said anything just to get him to fuck me and let me come. “I want you to fuck me in public.” I surprised myself more than I surprised him. I didn’t know I had an exhibitionist streak in me, simmering below the surface, and at first, I thought I was offering this adventure solely for him. Making him happy had become my greatest pleasure, and I found myself submitting to his sexual desires and then making them my own.

Of course, being tied up probably had something to do with it as well.

Now, after you got to know Patient, her characters and read her steamy snippets perhaps you’d like to get a copy of her work?
