Name
You can call me Exposing 40 if you like, but I’m just as happy with you calling me Catherine. On Twitter I’m @Exposing40
What are you hoping to get out of Eroticon 2017?
Laughing and learning! I am a social butterfly and there are so many people going who I already love and can’t wait to catch up with, plus many more I am super-excited to meet, that one of the best bits will just be hanging out with cool people. But I can’t wait for some of the sessions too!
This year’s schedule at Eroticon is pretty full on but which four sessions do you already have marked down as ones you want to attend?
I am a dyed-in-the-wool planner so the idea of winging it strikes fear into my heart. I also have eight ‘must do’ talks on my list and will miss some because of clashes…but here are my top four!
- Sex Blogging as Feminism and Social Justice: Sarah Brynn Holliday
- History of Erotic Writing and Obscenity in Britain: Kate Lister (and ideally the Sunday morning one too, but let’s see how many ‘one for the ditch’ wines I have on Saturday night!)
- Undressing Disability: Emily Rose Yates
- How to use your blog to educate: Emmeline Peaches, Formidable Femme, Hot Octopuss
Oh, and even though I don’t write erotic fiction and can’t draw to save my life I will be at Malin and Tabitha’s talks as a silent cheerleader going ‘aren’t they awesome?!’.
Tell us one thing about yourself that not many people know?
I once did a skydive with two broken arms. The arms were broken a couple of weeks earlier when I was thrown from a horse. I had got back on the horse to carry on the trek but after a couple of miles my arms really hurt. I also once got on a horse and rolled straight off the other side, but that’s another story. These anecdotes reveal quite a lot about me…
If you made the papers, what would the headline be?
Naked woman found in a ditch wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry.
If you could have one skill for free (I.e. without practice/time/effort) what would it be?
I would have a voice like Bonnie Tyler and would endlessly strut around MASSIVE stages singing power ballads. And there would be fireworks.
I love it when…
…the plane touches down! New country or home sweet home, both feelings are equally delightful.

As much as I shouldn’t laugh at other people misfortunes I couldn’t help but giggle. If it makes you feel any better I broke my ankle skydiving once, remind you to elaborate on that one in person because it was a catalogue of disasters!
It is going to be interesting to see you all x
Look forward to meeting you! Xx
You are a crazy woman and I adore you!

You did a skydive with TWO BROKEN ARMS??? Holy fucking shit this is the most badass thing I have ever heard in my life. I am in awe!
Also – one for the ditch – I am totally nicking this =) Looking forward to seeing you again!

I’m looking forward to meeting you. Two broken arms!! I broke a shoulder paintballing and carried on, but two arms – that’s hardcore. 🙂
