Skid Roche

There is an interview with me, Thomas Roche, at the website for Rachel Kramer Bussel’s new book Do Not Disturb, an anthology of erotica about sex in hotels. My story, “A Room at the Grand,” involves an illicit tryst in the second-nicest hotel in town.

You can buy the book here or read my interview and an excerpt of “A Room at the Grand” at the book’s website.

Excerpt:

Is there a part of a hotel that you think is the sexiest?

The guest rooms, of course, but hotel bars have a certain tawdry charm — borderline sleazy even in the nicest of hotels. I have always wondered about people who go drink at hotel bars when they’re not staying there. It’s necessary in smaller cities, probably, because there are fewer options for watering holes. But it still seems bizarrely blatant, like going to a smorgasbord of married people away from home with big beds to sleep in and nobody to sleep there with.
