It took a little longer to come than I thought

Must have been practicing tantra or something, but here it is at last, and I couldn't be prouder. :)

Here's the link, and here's the full description. Have fun!

If you have a fetish, chances are that you’ll find it in this book. At least 20 different naughty needs are bound up in these stories, including BDSM, latex, suspension, dark magic, heavy rubber, total enclosure, hypnosis, anonymous trysts, corsets, ballet boots, leather, pony girls, gimp suits, masturbation, collars, chains, and both damsels *and* their knights in shining armor in distress.

In “Solitaire,” the simplest of computer games draws a woman into the deepest levels of heavy rubber slavery.

In “Knights in White Bondage,” a fetish party is interrupted by a young man claiming that the slave of a self-proclaimed enchantress really *is* enslaved, and that he’s come to rescue her.

“Quick and Dirty” is just what it says: a filthy little tale about a tryst in a public bathroom.

In “Spellbound,” a supernatural researcher finds out that fairies are all too real – and all too seductive.

Finally, in “High Strung,” a powerful Queen comes to parley with a sorceress but finds herself in over her head – and over everybody else’s heads as well.

Book and YouTube news

First, I've basically finished my next book, Kinked: an anthology of five extra-fetishy fantasies that combine mind control with latex, total enclosure, suspension, the supernatural, etc. All that's left is finishing the cover and doing one more proofread. I'll be uploading the book to Amazon Tuesday morning, so it will probably be available by Tuesday evening, although you can never be sure with Amazon. I'll let you know as soon as it goes live.

I''m going to put this book in Kindle Unlimited, which means I can't sell it at Smashwords and can't give you a discount coupon. Sorry about that, but it's a long book; and under the KU system, long books do much better when they're exclusive to Amazon. Fortunately for those of you who don't have Kindles, there are lots of freeware programs available that will will translate from .mobi to .epub; and none of my stuff is DRM protected.

Now for the YouTube half of this post. I've said before that I've started a YouTube channel, and it's continuing to grow. I'm actually amazed at how many people have subscribed. Right now most of the content is in my (ever-growing) playlist, but I plan to upload some stuff of my own in the near future. The problem is that I had a bunch of great videos stored on my last computer (including the full Big Trouble in Little China and the full 70's version of King Kong), but that computer died. I'd been faithfully backing up most of my data, so I didn't lose too much, but I had not been backing up my videos because they were so damn big. Now they're gone forever, and YouTube took down the originals, so I can't easily get that content back. I'll have to find fresh copies. Any help would be appreciated - but please don't suggest a torrent site unless you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's malware free. I'm very nervous about torrenting.

Anyway, I will be adding one new original video to my channel next week. I'm going to experiment with a book commercial, so I'll be recording myself (trying to sound sexy but not sexy enough to attract stalkers, and disguising my voice a bit) describing the new book and reading an excerpt. I'm curious to see whether it will help my sales. If it does, I'll keep it up. I can think of some other things to record as well, but I don't plan to get into the podcast business because I have too many other things going on.

Well, wish me luck; and again, if you know where I can get clean copies of Big Trouble, King Kong, Looker, or any other of the MC greats, please let me know.

Ragdoll Annie is here!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that Ragdoll Annie is now live on Smashwords and on Amazon. Here's your coupon code to get 25% if you buy the book at Smashwords by March 1: DP64X.

And here's your plot summary:

Penelope is a fairy with very strange tastes: she likes to play with toys. In this twisted, trippy tale, she seduces a door-to-door saleswoman and lays on the spells until free-willed human Cherie has become a mindless, sexy rag doll. Each step in the transformation is lovingly detailed, just for doll fetishists; and it all culminates in a "play time" scene that only fairy magic could produce.

But that's not the end of the tale. Penelope is pretty scatterbrained for a fairy, and making this special toy took plenty of concentration. If she forgot even one spell, Ragdoll Annie could make an escape. Will Penelope be able to keep her toy, or will Cherie win out over Ragdoll Annie?

If you're into living dolls, then "Ragdoll Annie" just might be your fetish nirvana.

Enjoy!

Slave-Bride of the Sidhe is now available for purchase!

I've just uploaded the book to Smashwords, and as a thanks to those of you who read my blog, here's your coupon code to get 25% off: ZL39Z. The code is only good for one week, so hurry if you want to use it. Here's the Amazon link if you'd like to buy from there.

Here's the synopsis:

There’s something different about Ethna. She’s fond of her husband but she doesn’t crave his touch, and what she does crave is so strange and powerful that she can’t explain it even to herself. She seems to find an answer when she’s kidnaped by a fairy king and plunged into a world of supernatural submission, but then her husband rescues her, and she realizes King Finvarra was nothing like her heart’s desire. But she still desires something, and her experience with Finvarra has somehow brought her closer to the truth. She’ll just have to patient, and to explore her innermost depths, before she can find her true calling. Then she’ll know exactly what – and whom – she really wants.

This story is a sexed-up retelling of an ancient Celtic folk tale with an all-new second act that’s twice as titillating as the first.

Enjoy!

I need a beta reader ASAP

I'm putting "Couples Skate" in the next erotica anthology from the Kinklectic group, and they're requiring a beta reader. The deadline is coming up very, very quickly; and the person I thought was going to be my beta reader apparently isn't, so I'm turning to you fine folks.

I need one volunteer to read a gay male MC story with a lot of humor, a charmingly quirky MC'er, and a great big red herring. The first person to respond in the comments section gets the job - and a free copy of the ebook. You don't have to put your email address in the comment, either. Just email me right after you're sure your comment posted and tell me you're the one who posted it.

Supernatural sex and religious cunnilingus

Well, folks, the anthology will be out very soon, and - incredible news - it'll be priced at at mere $0.99. I was shocked by that, but the other contributors are more experienced at this sort of thing, and they swear that's the best price for an anthology. Our goal is to get onto some bestseller lists, thus building our reputations as individual authors and as a group. And that's only our first goal. Our second is to keep putting out more themed anthologies as the months go on. I won't be able to contribute to all of them because I don't write quickly enough, but I'll join in as often as I can. This is a fine group of people, and now that I've finished reading the galleys, I can tell you they're a fine group of writers.

Here are the story synopses, in what might or might not be their order within the book:

• Tempted by Blood by Jacqueline Sweet—When the boy you love won’t give you what you need, maybe his evil twin will. 
• Knights in White Bondage by A. Regina Cantatis—An enchanted thrall and her Mistress visit a fetish resort, where they fascinate their fellow guests and attract the attention of a would-be knight in shining armor. 
• Forking Around by Audrey Lusk—When you see the world differently from everyone else, it takes something unseen to make it a less lonely place. 
• Mrs. Wong's by Troy King—Take one jaded fixer, one mysterious young woman, a dash of magick, add a seedy dive, and mix thoroughly. 
• Spooked by Ruby Madden—When Clementine inherits an aging Victorian mansion from her late aunt, never did she suspect she'd uncover a mysterious secret about a lover from the past, brought to the present, in the form of a ghost. 
• A Dangerous Seduction by Heather Cole—Soledad has everyone fooled that she's an ordinary librarian until a mysterious shapeshifter makes her want to reveal more than just her true identity. 
• Vixen by Christin Lovell—Plus size Jessickah Banderkoff is a bartender by day, a guardian to the Underworld’s Kingdom by evening, and the vampire king’s lover by night, but every good thing must come to an end, right?

And here are the keywords submitted by various authors. I've grouped them by story but, just to make things more interesting, I haven't put them in the same order as the listing above. I don't think you'll have any trouble figuring out which set is mine, though. ;-)

• shapeshifter, paranormal, werewolf, gangsters, magic, anal penetration, goblins, witches, sexy librarian, bisexual, assassins, sex outside  
• Witch, tough female, gun, seedy bar, dive bar, Chinese food, bathroom sex, noir, private eye, thriller, demon possession, magic, Wong, paranormal, magick, summoning, fight  
• BBW, vampire, paranormal, werewolf, shapeshifter, Russian mob, underworld, erotic romance, action, vixen, femme fatale  
• BBW, interracial, BWWM, HEA, ghost, haunted mansion, romance, supernatural, paranormal, mystery, spook, spooked, witch, white-witch, murder, death, reincarnation, dreams, apparition, nightmare, love story  
• Paranormal, sassy, dimension travel, Borges, alternate reality, Lovecraft, Machen, invisible, alien, monster, man, stranger sex, giant ant-sex, romance, HEA
• mind control, lesbian, gay, fetish, latex, bondage, bdsm, fae, fairies, resort, total enclosure
• And here's my guess at what the keywords might be for the person who didn't submit any (To be honest, she had good reason: she was the one gathering everyone else's so she could submit them as a group): vampires, evil twin, Penrose Academy, school for magic, witch, wizard, alternate reality, enchanted mirror, warrior woman

Finally, in fulfillment of the clickbait in my title, I offer the following video. It's not totally off topic; if you read the older version of my story, when it was called "Someday My Prince Will Come," you'll remember it had some Egyptian elements. But really, do I need a reason to post a video of a beautiful woman promising you a religious experience between her legs? I think not.

Fairy fornication

Not long ago I was given a book about fairies. Most of the pictures were cute, if not downright twee; but when I took a closer look at this one, I realized it was a little...different.

First, the credits: the artist is Sir Joseph Noel-Paton, and the title of the piece is The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania (though I must say, they don't look particularly quarrelsome to me. I guess they're just getting started).

Now at first glance, this looks like a typically bloodless, idealized Victorian Era painting. At second glance, you might notice Titania has a lovely figure and Oberon's probably dangling out of his miniskirt. But at third glance, you start to notice the really interesting stuff.  The rest of the fairies in the painting are up to all kinds of naughtiness. Queen Victoria would not approve.

Here are some crops I've taken from the image above, which was the largest version of the painting that I could find online. Look carefully and you'll see...

• a lesbian couple
• a gay male couple (or possibly a trio - it's hard to make out the sex of the third fairy and how s/he is involved)
• a naked Disney princess on acid
• a fattened-up Gollum
• an orgy involving an owl
• a transvestite with a lady friend
• strange goings-on with bowls
• spider worship
• lizard erotica
• a strangely (and to my mind, erotically) obscured face
• a famously horny god
• and, if you look really closely, a figure oddly reminiscent of this Beksinski crawler.

Speaking of Beksinski, I've found a great new site with his artwork, so expect a post on that very soon - probably this week, unless I find a bunch of other more interesting stuff between now and then.

A Peek Beneath the Duct Tape: How Did It Come to This?

I hope I fooled some of you with the red herring in How Did It Come To This? - and I hope none of you dropped the story before you found out it was a red herring. If I ever wrote another vampire tale (and after collaborating so successfully with Jukebox* on The White Album, why should I?), it certainly wouldn't have a vamp as traditional as Jimmy would have been...if he'd been a vamp.

Admittedly, my first idea for a hockey-player-vs.-figure-skater story did involve a Nosferatu, but there's a reason the story didn't work out that way. I couldn't make it work out that way; it would have been too boring. I didn't get enthusiastic about the tale until I realized Jimmy didn't have to be a real vampire; he just had to seem like one. Then it occurred to me that the lyrics to "Time Is Running Out" would fit incredibly well with an EMC story, and I got really enthusiastic.

I don't know how many m/m fans are also Muse fans (though the "belldom" phenomenon would suggest some overlap ;)), so I won't go into much detail about the Muse-related Easter eggs in the story. If you're not a fan, you won't even notice them; and if you are a fan, you'll get a few extra laughs from the story. Here's a hint: Aside from TIRO and "Hysteria," I've referenced at least seven other Muse songs; and I've also given each of the band members his own hidden shout-out.

Not all the Easter eggs are Muse-related, though. Larry Szymanski isn't a fan of Stephen King, but I am, so there's a reason for the capitalized "It" in the fortune cookie scene. You'll get "It" if you've read It. ;)

Speaking of which, my first idea for Jimmy's fortune was a fortune I received myself: "Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius never." Eventually I worked this out to be a bad translation of something like, "Good sense always travels on well-worn paths, but genius never does." In other words, genius goes its own way.

That's Jimmy, I think. He succeeds even though he never takes the well-worn paths and never does the expected. In fact, he's so instinctive in his actions that he doesn't always realize what he's doing, himself. I wasn't sure about that at first, but in the end I realized he was just playing by ear and having fun. Of course, he never doubted he'd get Larry in the end. After all, he's not just a genius; he's a fae.

Good thing he's an iconoclast fae, though. Imagine what could have happened to Larry if Penelope had gotten hold of him!

*My collaboration with Jukebox was so successful that I think some of his influence carried over into this story. You can see it mostly in the humor and in Jimmy's banter.

These Are a Few of my Favorite Things: Supernatural Seduction

I've got a full goodie bag for you today, folks: photos, digitally manipulated images, and first-rate artwork, all depicting supernatural seducers and their prey.

Let's start with this fantastically creepy, evocative image from photographer Samuraj Grzes, one of my Model Mayhem finds (And speaking of that site, from now on I'm just going to use a generic blurb for MM images in these info-dump posts. It'll be a lot easier than pasting in all the individual links. Check the bottom of this post for the blurb).

Next up are an illustration from Luis Royo's Dead Moon (I have no idea what's going on here, but I like it!), a fairy reel by Frizzy Cube, and an I-don't-know-what-she-is-but-I'm-already-under-her-spell by Farhia.

Now here's a piece by Bethalynn Bajema, whom I profiled once before on this blog - and who requests that her work not be reposted without her permission, so please respect her wishes. Next is another painting by Luis Royo that's evocatively titled Kiss of the Fog, and finally a photo of V. Larsen by Porcelain Poet.

Below, left, is an image by MAD Designs that might make you wonder why I chose it for this post. Just click on the thumbnail image, then study the bottom half of the picture; you'll figure it out pretty quickly. This chick reminds me of a certain very scary character from Clive Barker's Weaveworld. Also on this row are a lovely ghost/vampire/zombie/who-knows-what by artist Arantza and an equally open-to-interpretation shot by Silversoul Photo.

Now here's Karenza modeling for Admirion, something-or-other cool from Imaginary Media, and an anonymous victim falling prey to Kirsty Mitchell's purple pollen trapdoor monster.

Finally, one more painting from Royo; a digital creation by Tiny Dragon Productions, and a Cthulhu-esque sorceress by Alice Duke, a.k.a. Melora.

***Unless otherwise noted (usually via link), all models, photographers, and digital artists in this post can be found on Model Mayhem.***

These are a few of my favorite things: Vizerskaya

At left is one of the first pictures I ever posted in this blog. It pretty much sums up all my fetishes in a single image. The photographer and digital artist is Vizerskaya, a.k.a. Kassandra. I found her first on Model Mayhem, then discovered several more stashes of her work in various places I'll link to below. As a matter of fact, her work shows up in a lot of the same places as Asya Arteyeva's photos, which is one reason I hinted that my previous blog entry about Asya carried the seeds of future entries. Several of Vizerskaya's pieces feature Asya, too, but I don't seem to have chosen any of those to show you today. It was hard enough to whittle this gallery down to its current size without adding in photos of a model I'd just talked about in my last post.

But anyway, let's get to the good stuff. As you can see, Kassandra loves the female form, is a fan of the classics, and has a great sense of humor. She also frequently photographs herself; in the images below, she's the lanky blonde with the dimple in her chin.

Vizerskaya's blog (in Russian) is here. Lots and lots of wonderful pictures, and you can always use Google Translator if needed.

Here's a great gallery of her work.

And here's another great gallery of her work.

She even has a YouTube channel.

Thank goodness I was born in this day and age. I so love digital art!
