Ep 356: From IT to Erotica: Rupert Ramgate's Journey and His Naughty Alter Ego Belem Knight. Dual Identities and Erotic Storytelling with Rupert Ramsgate
In this captivating episode, Ruan Willow sits down with British-born erotica author Rupert Ramsgate. Rupert shares his journey from a seaside town in England to becoming a knowledge worker in IT, and eventually moving to the United States. He discusses his plan for a transition to full-time writing, the challenges and joys of crafting erotic fiction, and his unique approach to storytelling.
Rupert reveals his alter ego, Belem Knight, who writes even more explicit content, and how the interplay between his two identities influences his work. They delve into the complexities of writing erotica, the stigma attached to the genre, and the importance of vulnerability in intimate scenes.
Listeners will also hear about Rupert’s ongoing projects, including his series "Books of Loukas," set in a fictional town influenced by Norse and Greek mythology, and his thought experiment series exploring a world where a pandemic has drastically reduced the male population.
