Weee, it’s my week taking over the IH blog. You know what that means, don’t you? Yep, masturbating yabbies….well, maybe.
Anyway, this is my first post over there. Make sure you visit every day to see just where my brain has taken me (you never know, it may very well be masturbating yabbies 😎 )
Or more to the point, why the hell did I put two Xs in mine?
It’s my week at IH. I probably should warn those of you who don’t know me, I am a little odd, more than a little disturbing and a whole lot weird. To this end, this week’s probably going to be….strange for you all. But fun too. I promise. Fun like sucking hot coffee through Tim Tams fun. Not fun like having your brother tickle you until you pee fun…. Err, see what I mean? Odd, disturbing and weird. *sigh* I betcha I’ve frightened most of you away already, haven’t I? *double sigh*
Well, for those of you still with me, let’s begin.
I think it’s a given that most of us erotic authors don’t write under our real names. There’s a reason for this. It could be our real name is too boring (can you imagine reading a so-hot-it-melts-anything-it-touches menage tale by someone called Mable White? Or Doreen Jones? Betrice Smith?), but the chances are the reason for the nom de plume has something to do with a need to keep our other self, shall I call it, hidden. That’s when we creative types come up with a pen name.
There are a million ways to create an awesome pen name: use the first letters of your children’s names; the name of your pet, favourite city/state/colour (Sandy Quebec-Green, anyone?); name your writing alter-ego after the name you always wished your parents had named you (Hunter Savage. How cool would that name be?! Hunter Savage); take a naughty word or two and spell them in such a way they look like names (Fanni Bottym, maybe?); go all out and just use naughty words without any subtefuge (Pussy Vagina. Okay, maybe not *grin*); pick a name similar to your own so you don’t look like a doofus when you fail to respond to it at conventions (Elizabeth/Beth, Alana/Lana, Christina/Tina…well, you get the idea); or be totally creative and come up with something utterly unique and (in your mind) totally clever.
I fall into the last category. And don’t I wish I’d been less clever. Don’t get me wrong, I love the name Lexxie Couper. I am Lexxie Couper and trust me, the name suit me. Lexxie Couper is a bit of a flirt (like me), a bit risque (like me) and very much a proud Aussie (like me). Lexxie however, is far more saracstic than I am, defintely more obsessed with Tim Tams and has no shame to speak of (and yes, I see how weird this reads, trust me, but hey, Lexxie Couper is far more weird than me, too *grin*). No, I love Lexxie and never regret her. What I regret, is the double X in Lexxie/my name.

(Just like Rhain did last week, I’m going to give away a prize at the end of my week; a signed copy of any one of my print books – winner’s choice PLUS a little Aussie treat to indulge your senses and skin. The more times you comment, the more times you’re in with a chance. Yay.)
