Johan poses as famous statues, and Didrik takes his pictures, lovely art photos for a charity calendar. They spent time in the garden, focusing more on the naked part than on the actual gardening part. Even if the top requirement on the list my husband and I made when we were looking to buy a house was “closest neighbor must be far enough away so we can go out naked into the garden.” We found that house, and even though I’ve yet to spend a single minute naked in my backyard, I can do it if I feel like it.īut not everyone is a prude like me, something my main characters told me loudly and repeatedly when I wrote Strike a Pose. Would you be willing to throw off your clothes and step out in the garden? Not necessarily to prune the roses ( don’t do that! says someone who’s just dug up a rose bush and came out scratched and bleeding even though I was wearing clothes) but for a romantic moonlight stroll with your loved one on a warm summer evening? I wouldn’t. There was something about being naked in the garden that spoke to that part of my imagination, the part that thought if they’re willing to be naked in the garden, what else are they willing to do? Because you must be a bit of an exhibitionist to trot around naked outside, right, gardening or otherwise? If you’ve read my books, you know that they’re usually on the lower end of the heat scale (with a few exceptions), but my naked gardeners (who’re not actually gardening) took on a life of their own and didn’t agree with that.
The stories are all standalone and not related in any other way than the theme. So on May 7 th, five stories with a Naked Gardening theme were released. We enlisted a couple more people, the awesome Amy Spector, and my lovely hostess, and started writing. Lester said we should all write stories with naked gardeners, and I promptly said yes. I stumbled upon it somehow last year and told my friend Holly Day that she should write a story about it since she writes stories for all the weird and wonderful holidays out there. Strike a Pose is written for World Naked Gardening Day which you’ve read about for a few days here on Kristin’s page. Hello, everyone! *waves happily* I’m here to talk about my newest release, Strike a Pose, but before I begin, I want to thank the lovely Kristin for having me. Today we’ve got the second visitor in our cohort of Naked Gardening Authors (er…I mean the authors writing all the World Naked Gardening Day stories as far as I know, there’s no actual naked gardening happening…) – and today it’s the brilliant and generous Nell Iris, here to tell us about garden adventures, naked statuesque poses, and playlists! (I do love a good playlist, and Nell – VERY appropriately – has got, er, Robert Plant on this one…) Enjoy!
