Stella Fosse is an erotica writer, the author of Aphrodite’s Pen: The Power of Writing Erotica after Midlife, and a late bloomer whose erotic life blossomed in her late 50s. In 2016, Fosse co-founded a group for women 50+ called Elderotica Writers, with monthly meetings to share story writing and friendship. Fosse’s story “Terraforming,” about the friendship between a bookish woman in her 60s and a well-endowed cowboy, appeared in the 2017 anthology, Dirty Old Women, and she has read at the quarterly Dirty Old Women literary event in Oakland, California. Stella’s collaborative project, The Palace of Wisdom, is based on an imaginary erotic spa in Big Sur for women over 50 and includes floor-plans, activities and rules, which she shares in workshops and online. Fosse advocates writing erotica as a great way for older women to push back on ageism and sexism. She is retired from a career in biotechnology and lives with her partner in North Carolina.
