"The Bitch in His Head"


My first erotica story "The Bitch In His Head" is in Violet Blue's Best Women's Erotica 2009. Lisabet Sarai in the March edition of the Erotica Readers Association reviews the book here and says:
Janne Lewis’ “The Bitch in his Head” wins my prize for the most intriguing characters: a demanding executive trapped by his obsessive-compulsive fancies, and the woman who loves, indulges and liberates him.
Thank you, Lisabet!
As with most of my stories, the characters came to me before the plot. I had been thinking for awhile about what it would be like to have a relationship with a person afflicted by OCD. I read an article about a person who was not sexually active because her OCD incapacitated her but just filed this away for the future. Then I saw an episode of "Monk," (I don't watch much television, usually I stumble on programs my husband or kids are watching) and the idea gained some ground. What if the person with OCD had a terrific sex drive? How would he manage? How would his lover respond to his demands? Wouldn't she get tired of them after awhile? The story developed from there. The idea for the "Bitch" came to me as I was writing. It was one of those Eureka! moments. Once I began to write, the story flowed. I didn't want to do anything else for the three days I worked on it until it was finished (at 4 am). And when I was done, I hated to leave the characters.
