Hello, Liv, welcome to MAXIM. Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a romance author writing diverse books with humour and heart, and I give sex advice for women’s magazines and websites. I’m a supporter of mental health and turned to writing for anxiety therapy – medication and counselling didn’t improve my symptoms, so creativity drowns the overthinking by focusing on fictional characters and storylines. My novel Stepping Stone was in the celebrity 2022 Mother’s Day gift bags – I was so excited getting my book in the hands of big names.
Cool setting for your photo shoot.
Yes, the set was actually created at a studio on the Gold Coast. The Italian bedroom theme had plantation shutters and blinds to shoot shafts of natural sunlight through a window for a moody, stylish and sexy look.
When do you feel sexy?
I enjoy writing sex scenes in novels. When I started writing romance I thought, “How many ways can someone possibly have sex?” Boy, was I wrong. I love exploring different themes – my novel Etched in Stone had a theme of sex in public places, Stepping Stone has light BDSM and a sexual awakening and Law & Disorder uses props around the house.
