Goodreads asked Libre Paley:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Libre Paley The Calyx series is a conscious twist on the erotic 'chateau' type novels, but I wanted it to be about women's pleasure, not women as playthings for men. I also wanted a 'real-life' woman at the centre. So-called 'mommy erotica' (agree this is a reductive term) is about virginal young women in their early twenties.
