This is a quote from notorious nineteenth century courtesan Cora Pearl, or so I am led to believe by the magazine article which inspired the story The Rake, originally published in the early 'nineties. It was one of many, the product of years of reading and writing, purely for private entertainment, but The Rake was expanded to become a novel, and when asked for a pen name I chose Aishling Morgan. More precisely, I had a few minutes to make my choice and quickly came up with something that sounded vaguely Celtic, vaguely romantic and might be male of female. As it turns out, Aishling is very rare indeed as a male name, but then at the time I had no idea that The Rake would be the first of many books, more than thirty in all.
Aishling Morgan is not my only pseudonym by any means, and I've now had over 100 books published, mainly novels, but also short story collections and a little non-fiction. Aishling Morgan is the name I use for my most imaginative work, done for the love of writing and of erotica, which has been my metier since long before I'd considered it as a profession. I've also been involved with the UK fetish scene since the early days, which has provided plenty of background knowledge and inspiration.
The Aishling Morgan books are diverse, with a wide variety of settings and characters, while I aim to provide sufficient plot to make each story worthwhile in its own right. Their erotic content is also highly diverse but tends to focus on power play and exotic sex, sometimes very exotic, and always an integral part of the story.

Satan's Slut has a revolving cast of leads who are all joined in contention over an abandoned chapel in Exeter. Nich Mordaunt is a pagan intent on bringing back ancient religion to the British Isles. His antithesis is Tom Pridough, a priest of a yet undisclosed Christian sect. Mordaunt is vocal and a known in the community, and Pridough blames all "wrong-doings" on him and his followers. When Mordaunt decides to hold a Black Mass with the help of a local dominatrix, recently defrocked priest, and a local gangster things start getting out of hand for the young pagan.
From a religious standpoint, this reminds me a lot of The Mists of Avalon, likely a book author Aishling Morgan is well familiar. There is some interesting discussion or how Christianity in Britain took over the Celto-Pagan practices of old, but also of how the Celts took over even older religions. It tends to be very smart about the topic, though I will not swear to the authenticity of all the claims made. From a fiction aspect, the story builds quite nicely, and could easily be quite an interesting bit of pulp for a wider audience were not the sex so graphic. The characters are interesting and well formed. Many of their abnormal desires* are discussed more deeply than you might expect, and in an almost moralistic fashion they bring the characters into the hands of some unsavory types.
* Please note my use of "abnormal desires" is meant to indicate practices that might shock those of a more Puritan nature. I do not judge.
So, obviously this book is not for everyone, but if you have an interest in erotica, paganism (or more-so Satanism), this is a fairly compelling book give a try. I have finally reached the [ahem] climax of the story, and things look to be changing drastically. I think the last 10% of it will hold some surprises. I will mention, however, that I am rarely thrilled by Morgan's endings. She does a nice job up until the last few pages. I am, however, rarely impressed my endings in book or film, so maybe it is just me?
