Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2014 -- Randy Townes began writing at the age of nineteen, and since then, has dedicated his time to tapping into what makes human beings different, what makes people tick, and more importantly, what makes people fall in love, break hearts and make love.

In his new collection of short stories, entitled, ‘Forbidden’, Townes explores all of the above and more. Townes spent years studying and developing the individual stories that make up ‘Forbidden’, and incorporated his own forays into passion, emotion and relationships in order to create a raw and intimate experience for the reader.

“I wanted to show people a deeper side of relationships,” says the author. “The bond between two lovers should be unbreakable. When you combine two hearts, two spirits, two passions – and then share that incredible physical act with someone – it’s undeniably powerful. That’s what ‘Forbidden’ is all about. It’s not just sex – it’s about a rich connection that resounds throughout your life and affects everything that you do.”

Synopsis
“Forbidden” is a series of short stories each with different situations and different types of characters. Some characters in the stories crave sex more than love and others find it hard to connect with the opposite and result back to having sex; the only thing keeping them together. Each chapter is something different something to make your body tingle in places that you’ve never imagined that could. Either way all the stories have something to contribute to the question “What’s craved more if it’s forbidden to have?” Sex or Love…

Since its release, ‘Forbidden’ has thrilled readers with its explicit content and vibrant writing.

Calling it an “awesome book!” Adeelah wrote: “Sensual and exciting.... Makes me blush every time I pick it up. The short stories grab your attention. You won't be disappointed!”

Townes also hopes to share a valuable lesson with his readers.

“The act of making love should be a gift – and should never be given away to someone undeserving,” says the author. “When people think of books of erotica, I think they often categorize them as books about one-night-stands or cheap sex. But that isn’t sexy to me. I think sex should be about tapping into your senses and your inner spirit and linking that chain to your lover. Nothing is more sensual than complete and utter connection.”

Continuing: “I believe my story is important simply because I'm offering readers the chance to look at things in a different light. Different from their very own relationships and love life; a chance to know what true love should feel like and the passion behind the heart.”

About Randy Townes
As I grow older everything I learn and experience I apply to my own life and hopefully share with others. I consider myself a unique person; the views that I have on certain subjects I try to provide in the stories that I create. My views on love, relationships, and sex are similar to other people but I like to think outside the box and take things a little deeper than where it ends. My first book “Rated R” was the door opener for me but there are many more stories and books to come. Even though some of the characters and stories in this book are based off real people and real situations the truth behind the identity will forever be my secret.
