I had a great chat with Jade Greene, the awesome author of the Disorderly Conduct Series and a big name in the adult entertainment world. We talked about her writing journey and her passion for adult entertainment. I'm sure you'll enjoy our conversation - it's both interesting and fun!

AA: I would love to learn more about you! Please share your background with me and tell me where you're from. I'm interested in hearing about your upbringing, cultural heritage, and significant life experiences that have shaped who you are today.

JG: I’m from a small town in PA but raised by a Puerto Rican father who moved to the mainland around my age and an American mother. I’m so lucky to have a supportive family because I know many people in the industry struggle with acceptance from those outsides of it. Lastly, I have a very close knit and small group of friends that date back to high school and elementary school. 

AA: Please elaborate on the various career paths you have pursued. Share specific positive experiences from your work, including achievements, personal growth, and moments of success. Additionally, describe any negative experiences, such as challenges, setbacks, or difficult situations you encountered in your professional journey.

JG: My original career lasted a painful 11 years and I went to both college and grad school for finance. It took a really long time for me to become self-aware enough to realize how miserable I was in my job. Firstly, there’s a rumor that all finance jobs pay well and that’s absolutely not true. Just like other fields, that industry is rampant with nepotism, discrimination, and poor leadership. It’s not unusual for people to just be laid off out of nowhere (this happened to me) or brutally harassed by a superior (this also happened to me). When people talk about stability in regard to the adult industry, they seem to gloss over the fact other industries fire workers like nothing on a daily basis. There’s only a handful of “stable” jobs left in our economy. I did the thing. I worked for Fortune 500 companies and secret clearance agencies for the federal government. Tradition not only left me depressed, but it also outright financially failed me. I’m happier and making more money as an adult actress. 

AA: What sparked your interest in writing and led you to pursue a career as an author?

JG: I’ve always loved writing. It started when I was a student writing rant style articles on the economy. I just published on LinkedIn and kept writing. Then for fun I started fictional writing, and it just went from there. It took me a few months to write my first book Disorderly Conduct: College Edition, two weeks to write my second Disorderly Conduct: Deployment Edition, and about a year to write my third Disorderly Conduct: Mission Edition. I’m so excited to release the third book of the series this year!

AA: What made you decide to become an erotica author?

JG: My first book started as a memoir and then a few vet author friends stepped in with wise words - DON’T DO IT. They recommended NOT to write one because it’s a very foolish thing for a lifelong author to do. I’m only 33, I have another 40-50+ years in me at least! It’s usually not until authors are at the end of their career they write one. Well, that left me with an issue because I already wrote 20 pages. So, I did what any young aspiring writer does, and I procrastinated for years. Then it hit me out of nowhere, I could adapt my story to a fiction. As I am a shameless vixen, humorous fictional erotica made sense.

AA: What is it about this genre that sparked your interest in publishing books within it?

JG: It just aligned well with my personal life story. I was swinging and participating in peaceful kitchen table polyamory when I was 21. The best part about this genre is that my book is a fiction. It’s so fun I can totally make up scenes entirely or exaggerate for a better story. It’s semi trolling my fans because sometimes I’ll have fans ask about parts of the story that never happened expecting some Jade antidote!

AA: Do you have any authors that inspired you to start writing?

JG: I absolutely do. I am the second author in my family and the family member who first inspired me still checks up on my journey. Having a mentor is priceless and while we’re in totally different genres, she encourages me to keep writing.

AA: I'm interested in delving deeper into the narratives of your books "Disorderly Conduct: College Edition" and "Disorderly Conduct: Deployment Edition." Could you provide me with a comprehensive overview of the central plot of each story? I am particularly keen on learning about the main characters, their backgrounds, and past experiences. Additionally, I would like to understand the settings in which the events of the stories unfold, including the when and where. If there are any additional details or insights you would like to share about your books, I would be eager to hear them.

JG: The main character who I often refer to as my kid, child, daughter, etc. is named Arie Casiano. The first book, College Edition starts off with her in her junior year of school having just won a beauty pageant title. The story is set in 2011 in Wilmington, Delaware. Beauty pageants had a pretty good grip on Americans until a few years after that when entry numbers declined. State queens would get full tuition covered, modeling opportunities and many other desirable prizes for girls in their 20s. Arie kind of represents the death of that and the ugly death of the ego all of us have to face in our early to late 20s. She starts the first book a nerd turned bully with a cocky attitude and selfish behavior. She cheats a lot and gives no fucks about who she hurts. The second book, Deployment Edition we see Arie is forced to reckon with life as she loses several loved ones in a short span of time. This pushes her to deploy to help people impacted by Hurricane Irma with a national humanitarian organization. Through these experiences, she’s much more humble and self-aware. There’s also a big difference in how she pursues sex and with whom. The third book, Mission Edition she gets obsessive about helping others and finds even volunteering can be taken to the extreme. She grapples with deciding what she wants for her love life and reverts to selfish behavior. Progress isn’t linear and that’s another theme I’m driving home in my book. How does sex tie into this? It’s influenced by her state of mind. When she’s happy, it can be more of a fun activity, when she’s faced with grief of people she loves dying, sex is the catalyst that helps her heal. My series drives it home that sex changes with our condition. Sometimes when we’re at our lowest we use it to hurt others. However, when we are self-aware and emotionally intelligent enough, we can use sex to heal ourselves and those who we are sexual attracted to.

AA: Can you describe the inspiration behind your book? What specific events, people, or experiences motivated you to write this story?

JG: My book is inspired by so many people it would take another book to mention them all. Of course, my experience as a beauty queen plays a roll in my book, but again it’s a fiction. I tell people, I’m me, Arie is my kid. We share a lot in common but she’s her own person. For example, Arie is a total slut on deployment. Let me be clear, I wish I hooked up on my first deployment because it would’ve made me far less stressed out. Unfortunately living outside in a disaster zone in real life is probably the least sanitary place to bang… but again fiction. I gifted her that and many other much more pleasant scenarios compared to my real-life experiences.

AA: What was the most challenging part of writing this book?

JG: I hate the editing process so much.

AA: Did you encounter any obstacles or creative roadblocks that were particularly difficult to overcome during the writing process?

JG: No, I’m pretty lucky in this department - once I had my genre I was set to write. My one hidden talent is I have a constant inner dialogue and if anything, I have too many ideas. I usually do an outline for the sake of the story’s integrity, but it isn’t my literary gospel. Sometimes I just write. My second book I just wrote without an outline.

AA: If this book could be adapted into another format (film, TV), how would you envision it? What elements of the story do you think would translate well to the screen, and how would you approach the adaptation to maintain the integrity of the original work?

JG: It would be an amazing Porno series… I’m just saying. There’s comedy, drama, a little sprinkle of romance that doesn’t dictate the plot which would make it an intriguing x rated watch.

AA: Who would you cast in the lead roles if your book were made into a movie? Do you have specific actors or actresses in mind who you feel would embody the characters and bring them to life on the big screen?

JG: I don’t think it could be made into a movie with how horny the protagonist is at base level. If it was somehow adapted to a mainstream movie I’d want Ariana Grande to play Arie.

AA: What kind of message do you want to convey to your readers through your book? What themes or ideas do you hope your readers will take away from your work? How do you envision your book impacting its audience, and what kind of influence do you aim to have on the readers?

JG: I want readers to feel more comfortable about their cringy moments coinciding with their sexuality. In the first book she’s only 21 so I make sure to add a lot of insecure inner dialogue. Most early 20 something’s care way too much about what others think and so does my little protagonist.

AA: How does your background and personal life influence your writing? In what ways do your own experiences and perspectives shape the stories and characters you create, and how do they contribute to the authenticity and depth of your work?

JG: I crush assumptions about me in the same way my fictional kid does. Arie is such a grey character which is why my readers love the story. She’s not a stereotypical damsel erotica loves to feature but she’s also not some professional dominatrix running a dungeon. Those are the common archetypes in my genre - innocent maiden or outright pro dommes. She’s neither. She’s just a hyper accomplishment fixated chick who is open with her sexuality. She has a benefit being a beauty queen because this props her up as popular to her same age peers. Lastly her drive for success extends to her sexual conquests.

AA: I'd love to hear about your personal journey and experience working in the adult industry. What led you to pursue this career, and what have been some of the most significant moments or challenges along the way?

JG: I’ve been in the adult industry for 12 years but was very hush hush about it due to my public image. I started as a dancer on Baltimore’s block to help pay for college. However I only danced in between semesters, when I dealt with a bad work environment and when I got laid off. It was only something I did 2 years compared to my 11 year tenure in finance. I never felt comfortable calling myself a dancer because people assumed that was my entire career when it’s in fact the opposite. Becoming an erotica author came years later at 30 and then I started my onlyfans last year. I wanted to promote my body and books together, as my story is about sex! Then I got into mainstream porn and everything meshed together well. So far I’m having a blast and my only challenges are getting a perfect skin care routine with all this travel. It’s a lot of work but my worst days in porn are way better than my best days in finance. That’s how I know this is the right career for me.

AA: What are some of your favorite adult scenes that you have done?

JG: I LOVE the Swappz scene I did for TeamSkeet with Jimmy Michaels, Charlie Pheonix and Parker Simms. It was just a great crew and cast. Since it was a 4-person scene it did take longer to film, but they made the day fly. I had so much fun! Also, my Porn Dude scene coming out is wild, my cotalent got his dick in a pocket pussy and then shoved both up me somehow. It was magical.

AA: If you could choose three adult film stars, male or female, to collaborate with in the future, who would they be?

JG: Hailey Rose, Max Fills, Johnny Loves … I just want them all to cuck me and then bang the nerd out of me from all holes.

AA: What do you find most enjoyable and stressful about your job?

JG: The most enjoyable thing is connecting with new people. The most stressful is organizing everything for traveling. I love being places, I hate getting to them.

AA: What are some common misconceptions that people have about individuals working in the adult entertainment industry?

JG: The most common is that this is less stable than a regular job. A regular job could lay you off regardless of your loyalty and hard work.

AA: When it comes to working with your fellow actors, what are your limits?

JG: I don’t do anal…yet. ;)

AA: In what ways has your understanding of the industry benefited you as a performer and in terms of managing the business aspects of your career?

JG: Just like every other industry, it does require hard work and consistency. I was fortunate enough to try my own indie pages and see first hand how much work it takes to build a fan base. This is something I take seriously and am willing to do to succeed.

AA: Do you have an OnlyFans account, and if so, what type of content do you produce? I'm curious to know if you create photos, videos, written posts, or other types of content for your subscribers.

JG: I do have an OF - @greenequeen ! Most of my content is pictures and videos of me either solo or collabing. I love roleplay scenarios so my page features a lot of that. It’s so much fun to film collabs because it feels more dynamic to at least have a partner with me.

AA: Do you ever receive unexpected, unconventional, or outlandish content requests from your fans that really stand out?

JG: I do and I just ignore them at this point unless they accept an increased rate and make it worth my time. One guy has been trying to get me to do this thing in a mascot costume but has had trouble finding exactly the costume he wants for me.

AA: What type of adult scenes do you enjoy filming the most?

JG: I love swapping, give me as many bodies as I can handle baby!!!

AA: Regarding movies, I'd love to hear about your all-time favorites. What is it about these particular movies that resonate with you? Is it the compelling storytelling that keeps you engaged from start to finish, the complex and relatable characters you can't help but root for, the breathtaking cinematography that transports you to another world, or is it something else entirely? Let's dive into what makes these movies so special to you.

JG: I love old war movies. U571 is one of my favorites and Life is Beautiful. I also love natural disaster related movies like the new release, The Wave. Realism resonates with me. I used to be a huge fan of horror but find myself gravitating more towards movies that align closer with real life. Historic movies are some of my favorite because they’re based off of reality. In terms of the happier watches I enjoy, I like Big Fish and The Grand Budapest Hotel. If I’m going to enjoy false reality, I want colors, comedy, and a decent movie soundtrack.

AA: Regarding TV shows, I'm curious to know which specific ones you find yourself eagerly tuning in to. What is it about these shows that captivates you the most? Is it the intricately woven plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat, the deep and meaningful character development, or the overall high production quality that draws you in? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes these shows so compelling to you.

JG: I loved Norsemen. I just thought it was such a witty parody of Viking life especially with more intense shows like The Last Kingdom. It’s a hilarious show. Other than that, I don’t watch many shows, because the time investment to watch entire seasons is too much for my attention span.

AA: Regarding books, I'm always on the lookout for recommendations. I'm curious to know which books you consider to be at the top of your list. What about these particular books makes them stand out to you? Are you drawn to them because of their unique writing style, thought-provoking themes, or the powerful emotions they evoke in the reader? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on what sets these books apart.

JG: I recommend anything by Katee Roberts. She’s dominating the romance and erotica genres. Her books have widely received some of the highest praise and is on track to outsell Fifty Shades of Crap.

AA: What are some of your favorite hobbies and activities?

JG: I love being outside. My hobbies include fishing, running, volunteering, swimming, climbing and hiking

AA: Please share the stories of three individuals who have significantly impacted your life, whether positive or negative.

JG: My pageant and cheerleading personal trainer helped me accept my body. He also taught me lifelong lessons about fitness I will keep with me and eagerly share with others. My professors in college also influenced me to be a pillar for my own values and never give up on my goals. Lastly my friends influence me to be myself without apology and not be codependent on anyone. I noticed a weird trend lately where adults assume friendships require daily communication and regular hang outs…. That’s codependency. Real friends are not reliant on others for validation and understand people have crazy schedules in this economy. I’d rather have my small loyal circle of 5, than 10s of people shouting at me to schedule boring ass brunch plans with them. 

AA: What would you tell yourself if you could turn back the time and talk to your 18-year-old self?

JG: I’d tell myself to stay focused, keep going, and protect our energy. Every time I’ve went inward to self-improved, I benefitted. While I’m friendly and open, I’m not a people pleaser. Staying focused and guarding my time has been my key to staying healthy and getting the things I want out of life.

AA: If you could capture the world's undivided attention for five minutes, what message or ideas would you choose to share?

JG: Only 20% of Americans volunteer. Please consider serving your community if you have the extra time and resources.

AA: Jade Greene, thank you for opening up about your personal journey and experiences as a writer and adult star! I wish you success in all your future endeavors!
