Sex! Now that I have your attention, Iโd like to talk about my aspirations and
inspirations in the world of romance. Please bear with me. I promise my lurid
tactic isnโt entirely deceptive. In talking about my experience in the world of
romantic lore, sexuality is a big part of it. With that in mind, I hope I still
have your attention.
My name is Jack Fisher. Iโm an aspiring writer with a passion for intimate
romance. I hope to turn that passion into a tangible product with my first book
for Totally Bound, โPassion Relapse.โ Before I go about celebrating those
passions though, Iโd like to provide some context.
Iโve been an avid writer for over half my life now. I basically started writing
as a hobby when I was 15-years-old and Iโve been writing every day, in some form
or another. In fact, I often build my schedule around the times I work on my
writing. Considering my early life, thatโs actually a pretty dramatic shift.
Growing up in the Washington DC area, I wasnโt initially fond of writing or
reading, for that matter. In school, I dreaded any homework assignment that
involved a lot of reading and dreaded the essay questions on tests even more.
For the most part, I preferred assignments that involved watching TV and playing
video games. Granted, few assignments required such activities, but it ended up
laying the groundwork for my passion.
It started, fittingly enough, with another passion involving comic books. Thanks
to the cartoons I watched as a kid, primarily X-men, Spider-Man, and Batman, I
developed a love affair with comic books and superheroes. Eventually, they
became the only reading material I actively enjoyed. It also became the catalyst
for my tastes in romance.
Contrary to the old fanboy stereotypes that played out in every โ80s teen movie,
comic books donโt just tell stories about Superman punching killer aliens and
telling kids to eat their vegetables. They also contain vast, elaborate romance
stories that rival anything in a typical English assignment. They involve life,
death, loss, heartbreak, and even some intensely passionate moments thatโll get
any young manโs blood flowing in all the right directions.
This is what got me started. This is what laid the foundation for my passion for
romance. It started, fittingly enough, with my dissatisfaction that my favorite
comics and cartoons didnโt contain enough romantic sub-plots. Given that these
products were marketed to kids to sell toys, that wasnโt too surprising. For me,
however, it presented a challenge that I knew would never be met by someone
else. If I wanted more romance in my favorite cartoons and comics, I would have
to do it myself.
Thatโs exactly what I did. Having always had an over-active imagination, I began
crafting out these elaborate stories in my head. Then, once my computer skills
were sufficiently refined, I began writing them out as fan fiction. I freely
admit that none of these stories were very good. Itโs hard to expect much
quality from a 15-year-old boy, whose teenage years were mired in acne and
social awkwardness, in terms of romance. That didnโt stop me from pursuing it.
Over time, I didnโt just write bigger and better stories. I gained a greater
understanding of what romance was and how to make it work. In crafting my
characters, I learned the nuts and bolts of romance. Naturally, a part of this
process involved sex. Being a healthy young man with functioning body parts, it
was only a matter of time before love and lust converged.
As time went on, I came to favor love stories that had strong sexual elements. I
crafted stories that often blurred the line between love and lust. The romances
I conjured had a knack for mixing the two. The challenge was making that mixture
balanced. Itโs a challenge I still work on today and will continue to work on
for as long as I have stories to write.
By taking on this challenge and exploring the passions within, my understanding
of romance evolved. Whether Iโm watching a movie or reading a comic, I find
myself scrutinizing the romantic elements more than most. I break down the core
components of each character, assess their personalities, and surmise what makes
the romance function or falter.
That understanding has helped influenced my understanding of modern romance as
well. I see the love, lust, and passion in the world as an ever-evolving mixture
in which few agree on the ingredients. I often take issue with those who prefer
an unbalanced mixture. There are romances that are excessively sexual, relying
entirely on lust and desire. There are romances that are excessively loving,
relying too much on the consistency of erratic emotions. One is deemed dirty and
shallow. The other is deemed pure and ideal. Personally, I say both are flawed.
I prefer a more potent mixture when it comes to romance.
That means that I celebrate romances that explore both passion and kink,
embracing the physical and the emotional. The characters donโt have to restrain
themselves, but they donโt have to lose control either. They can work together.
They can complement each other. They can create a passion together that they
cannot create with anyone else. Itโs as beautiful as it is sexy.
As a writer, I seek to explore these components and all their lurid undertones.
Iโve written many novels, both original and fan fiction, that tweak this
mixture. If I still have your attention, then I hope I can make it worthwhile. I
want hearts to race and loins to ignite. With โPassion Relapse,โ I want to take
another step in this sexy, passionate journey of mine.

stopped since. He quickly developed a soft spot for romance, often writing fan
fiction of his favourite fictional couples. Eventually, he graduated to writing
stories about couples of his own creation, with a heavy focus on heated passion
and powerful intimacy. He is currently single and lives just outside of DC. He
