10...9...8...

It's that time again! Monday morning, June 1, I'll be sending in the "Dark Spaces" anthology for publication by Amazon. Originally I was going to publish three stories in this ebook ("The Final Adventure...," "What Happens in Decon," and "What to Expect from Your Alien Brainwashing"), but late in the game I decided to add in "Love in a Silver Socket" too. Once the anthology goes live, it will sell for $2.99; but as usual I'm giving my blog readers a chance to pre-order for $0.99. Here's the link.

In the meantime, please take a moment to admire the cover art. You might remember that the image below is what I had to work with. ;-)


Finally, here's an easy favor you can do for me or any other Kindle Unlimited author you want to support. If you have a Kindle Prime account, please borrow our books before you buy them. If you borrow them and read at least 10% while still just borrowing, we get a magical "borrow" sale which is often more than we'd get from a straight-up sale. Of course, feel free to buy the book after borrowing and reading 10%, because then we get two sales off that one book. You'll make an author's day if you do that. Remember, most of us have so-called "real jobs" that don't satisfy us, while using our fun little "hobbies" to supplement our incomes.

Thanks, as always, to my friendly, loyal blog followers - and thanks also to my beta readers and reviewers!

Salma Hayek has some competition!

I just ran across the first of these two videos on Facebook and had to share it here. Remember Salma Hayek's snake dance in From Dusk Til Dawn? Well, this lady's giving her a pretty good run for the money. Salma still wins because Salma always wins, but I don't think you'll regret watching either clip.

Praise from the praiseworthy

As many of you know, I've joined a few Facebook groups for erotica writers and have participated in a couple of anthologies. In the process, I've befriended a lot of fellow erotica lovers with kinks of their own. Take Troy King, for example. Troy is, first of all, a fantastic writer. His stories aren't just wank pieces. They have great plots, characters, and dialog; and they can be damn funny. They also usually (not always, but usually) involve BDSM and dominant women - subjects that I know a lot of my readers enjoy.

Troy is also a genuinely good person: sane, friendly, and happy to share. He was part of the group that helped me design the cover for What Happens in Decon, and then he bought a copy and proceeded to blog about how much he liked it. I'll share the first part of Troy's post below and then link you to his blog for the full review. This is my way of praising Troy - and encouraging you to check him out, as well. If you like the stuff I write, there's an excellent chance you'll like his stuff too.

Now here's his blog post:

Book Review – What Happens in Decon

The coolest thing about being an erotica writer is it gives you a chance to really plumb the recesses of what turns you on.  Human sexuality is a terribly convoluted thing and, much to the chagrin of some of the more conservative elements of our culture, there is no single element that everyone can point at and say, “That’s hot.”

Well, except for me, of course.  And all of you.

I’ve written a lot about bondage and submission, both tying and being tied.  It’s a subject that holds a certain fascination for me.  I like the idea of giving up control from time to time and having control ceded to me from time to time.  When you dig through all the ropes, gags, plugs, and various toys, that’s what bondage is really about: submission.  And, contrary to what certain authors might imply in their best-selling novels, the desire to have control or cede control doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.  Submission can be a hell of a fun thing and, if you pay attention while the ropes are tied tightly around your wrists and that big ol’ ball gag is firmly stuck between your teeth, you might gain some insight into what your partner likes.  Then, later, when there are no ropes you can use that knowledge and say something like, “See, I just ate you out for an hour and you didn’t even have to hogtie me to get it.”

"What Happens in Decon" is now live in the Kindle Store

I'm proud to announce that "What Happens in Decon" is now live. This is the story that began, long ago, as the EMCSA tale "If Wishes Were Horses." The new version is much cleaner and much hotter, and it still has a huge, verbatim chunk of my personal Virtual Hypnosis script right in the middle of everything. You can buy the ebook here, and you can read the synopsis here:

Captain Synon has a problem. She has less privacy than anyone aboard her spaceship, but she also has a fetish too strange and scandalous to risk discovery. In fact, she's so paranoid about her crew finding out about her kink that she won't even indulge herself in her stateroom. Its doors can be opened in an emergency; and if anyone caught her in the act, she might throw herself out an airlock from sheer embarrassment.

This is her secret. Captain Synon is a submissive, but not the kind who craves whips and chains and physical restraints. She hungers for mental control; and she needs it to be so tight that for a while, at least, she can forget she was ever a captain and just enjoy being a mindless, obedient puppet.

On earth she can scratch her itch pretty easily; all she has to do is visit her favorite erotic hypnotist. But right now the Captain is on a First Contact mission twelve light-years away from home, and there's no dominatrix in sight. All she has is a hypnosis program hidden deep in her shuttle's databanks and the security of a decontamination chamber. Her program is less convincing than a real person, but it will do in a pinch. Besides, she has total privacy in here; no one can see her behind the dec-chamber walls. No one can breach them, either, since the walls don't drop until the decontamination process is complete. This is the one place on board the Ilium that Captain Synon feels totally safe.

After all, what happens in decon stays in decon…doesn't it?

You can now pre-order "What Happens in Decon" for $0.99

I've just submitted "What Happens in Decon" to Amazon. You might remember that this is the book based on my personal Virtual Hypnosis script, so as you're reading fiction about an imaginary spaceship captain, you're also reading my personal wank material.

The book will go live on May 8 for $2.99, but you can pre-order it for just $0.99 in a secret deal available only to my blog readers. I like finding ways to reward you for your loyalty. :-) Just click here to pre-order.

Now, here's the synopsis of the story:

latex curves

This is a busy weekend for me, so I'm taking it easy on myself - and you - by just dumping a bunch of slick, curvy, gorgeous latex photos into one post. The model is Sister Sinister (though  Jade Vixen appears with her in the first shot below). I remember mentioning Sister Sinister once in the early days of my blog when she was still pretty much unknown. I tracked down that post to remind myself what I said about her then, and it's pretty funny in hindsight:

"I've recently found another cute young fetish model calling herself (stifles giggle) Sister Sinister with a free website. She's a bit pretentious, but very attractive. Her galleries start here."

I struck out the link because it doesn't work anymore; Sister Sinister is far beyond the need of advertising herself with a cheap, free website (She does, however, have a great Facebook page). But if you saw that old site, and/or if you saved any of her earliest pictures, you can see just how very far she's come. My God, this woman is gorgeous.
