Solace Ames is an American writer specializing in erotic fiction. She has also written under the pen name Violetta Vane.[1] CareerAmes is a self-taught writer.[2] Her short story Tomorrow's Much Too Long was placed third in Hyphen's first Erotic Writing Contest in 2013.[3] Ames first published The Dom Project with Carina Press with another author, Heloise Belleau in 2013. The main character was a tall, "tattooed Asian bad-boy Dom."[1] Ames's first solo book, The Submission Gift, released in 2014, was reviewed by Publishers Weekly, which called it a "nuanced look at polyamory and BDSM."[4] In the story, a husband hires a rent boy as a "gift" to his wife.[5] He does this because he has just recovered from a serious car accident and can no longer provide a full sex life for his wife.[6] Her second solo publication, The Companion Contract, released in 2015, was also favorably reviewed by Publishers Weekly.[7] This book is about a woman who works as a pornographic actress, but wants to move onto another career and another place in her life.[8] Ames always makes a point of including safe sex practices in her writing, such as the use of condoms or the regular screening of partners for sexually transmitted infections (STI).[9] When Ames first started writing romance novels, she wanted to create multicultural stories.[10] She says that "characters aren't as real to me if I don't understand where they come from."[10] Ames also stresses how treating multiculturalism in erotica must be rooted in a sense of personhood, rather than "fetishizing" or objectifying a person for their differences.[11] Personal lifeAmes's father was a Japanese citizen, and her mother was raised in the United States: each had different expectations on how to raise their daughter.[11] Ames has characterized them as "anarcho-hippies".[11] Growing up, Ames felt that she was often fetishized by men who viewed Asian women as sex objects.[11] During her early twenties, she worked in a strip club in order to make money, though she doesn't "talk about it much after because of the stigma".[11] Ames is married and has children.[2] Bibliography
