1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
It's a fantasy that has bubbled in my head for a few years now, although some of the specifics have changed over time. The basic gist is a female Egyptian Pharaoh having sex with one of her slaves or foreign servants. It was always going to be an interracial pairing, since black woman/non-black man is what I like, but the guy's race has fluctuated between white, Middle Eastern, and Greco-Roman. In the end I settled on the Middle Eastern option for him, specifically Biblical Hebrew or Israelite. If I made him white like myself, he would have come across as too much of a self-insert, and there probably weren't many Europeans around in New Kingdom Egypt anyway.

2. How did you come up with these characters?
Originally the Pharaoh character was going to be entirely fictional, but I changed my mind and identified her as the famous female Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Egyptian New Kingdom. I must thought my story would pack more punch if it invoked a real historical figure instead of someone wholly from my imagination. At any rate, I've always loved the concept of a beautiful, sexy, and strong African queen. Who says black women in porn always must be sassy ghetto hoodrats?

3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
I've wanted to write romance for a long time, but earlier these romances were sub-plots within larger, more action-packed fantasy or historical stories. This is the very first pure erotica I've ever written.

4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
My total inexperience with the erotic genre before writing this. Honestly, I wasn't even sure how erotica is supposed to go, so I simply wrote down one of my sexual fantasies and added a pinch of tension near the end.

Somewhere in the middle, insofar as I need at least a vague idea of where I want my story to go, but I don't necessarily have to write it down. So far this has worked all right for short stories, although I don't know if I could apply it to novels too.

Carrying a bowl of figs on his fingertips, Mikha'El strutted up the palace's columned hallways with his chest raised and a grin stretched across his black-beaded face. His sandy-brown arms, bulging with muscles, gleamed from the oils he had smeared to polish them. Ever since he earned himself the rank of house slave, taking him away from the sweltering and scarring toil of brick-making,...
