This is sort of odd for a Conservative-ish Catholic who writes novels about Vatican ninjas and hates sex scenes in mainstream fiction. Had you told me I'd be talking about porn on my blog when I started it, I would have laughed in your face.
But, first we had retired actress Celine Tran, doing a nice sword fight video. Then there was Sarah Garlits and the blog on rape. It's starting to look a little strange. I can almost hear some people saying "Declan, is there something you want to share?"
Let me elaborate a little on my history with porn ... That sounds worse than it is. It's actually much stranger than that.
Before The Pius Trilogy ate up a quarter of my life, I had other projects I wanted to work on. In fact, the one-volume A Pius Man was going to be the end of a series of books, with each of the characters appearing in other novels. My series about the Secret Service Agent and the CIA assassin featured Father Frank Williams, the Pope, Giovanni Figlia, IRA leader Deaglan Lynch, the author Matthew Kovach, Scott Murphy, and mafia kneebreaker Jon Koenig, scattered in various and sundry parts throughout. It's where the FBI computer hacker Blaine Lansing first appeared with Jennifer Lance.
The third book was supposed to be Sean protecting a porn actress. Which would be hysterical. He's not a prude, but he is really uncomfortable being around a naked woman he's not involved with. I figured it would be hilarious.
However, I knew nothing about porn. But, having been to an all-male high school that shall not be named, I had heard the name Asia Carrera. It was someplace to start.
