Alternative Author Extraordinaire Laura Antoniou Interviewed on Poly Weekly for The Killer Wore Leather
(PRWEB) July 16, 2013 -- Laura Antoniou, author of the murder mystery thriller The Killer Wore Leather, was interviewed on this week's Poly Weekly.
Cunning Minx, host of the educational and entertaining show, kicked off the episode with a celebration of the repeal of DOMA. She then had a conversation with Laura about everything from her "fabulous new murder mystery" to her previous works, including the acclaimed Marketplace series. Minx describes the book as a "semi-accurate spoof of the bdsm world," and she and Laura discuss the appeal of her writing. The comedic mystery is Laura's first foray into non-erotic writing, and she explains the inspiration to explore a different genre. The two insiders also examine the parallels between LGBT and BDSM communities, both in terms of identity politics and public acceptance.
The Killer Wore Leather is now also available as an audio book for readers who prefer to listen to their literature, and is produced by Susie Bright.
