Meet Hannah Thompson: wife, mother, teacher and\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 secret erotica author?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Guilt List:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. If we have a date night then I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m always asleep before it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s halfway through and honestly, if I had to choose, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather have a hot bath and read my book than engage in any other nocturnal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. If we do actually have you-know-what then it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not unheard of for my mind to wander\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not talking about sexy things \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m talking about what food there is in the fridge and when the car is due for its next service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. I am struggling to write about anything that could be classed as even a little bit sexually adventurous which is a problem when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m supposed to be an erotica writer and I am speaking at Sex Con in exactly one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a book to publicise, Hannah has no choice but trade her M&S cardis for S&M parties, and become her writing alter-ego. What could possibly go wrong\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, Hannah is married with children at home, has written a published erotica novel titled More Than Sex<\/em> under the pseudonym of Twinky Malone, and teaches part-time. Surely we can all agree that competing priorities and imposter syndrome can get in the way of success, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found Hannah’s predicament very relatable. She’s got heart and struggles to juggle those priorities. Hannah figures out whose opinions matter the most to her and definitely has a story arc of change from the beginning to the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some readers have found this laugh out loud funny but not me. I found some of the situations and descriptions to be humorous. Overall, this was a sweet, funny book. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
