This week on Blush, Kelly and Branden continue their Heathens and Heartbreakers special series and sit down with dark romance author M. Violet for a wine-fueled, slightly chaotic deep dive into writing, community, and kink.They talk messy first drafts, gothic inspirations, paranormal influences, and the art of crafting interconnected stories that keep readers obsessed. M. Violet shares her journey, writing tips, branding insights, and why building a supportive author community is essential—especially when navigating events and releases.And because it’s Blush, the conversation turns bold. From dominance and submission dynamics to communication in the bedroom, the trio unpacks sexual preferences, power play, sex toys, threesomes vs. partner swapping, and why many women prefer phone sex over sexting (“I don’t want evidence of it.”). They also discuss the male gaze in porn, female pleasure, and the importance of boundaries and honest feedback. Dark romance, real talk, and unapologetic curiosity—this episode is equal parts craft masterclass and sex-positive roundtable. Pour a glass and press play.
