<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You know that weird moment when you’re in a coffee shop and
a newspaper photographer is taking your picture? Yeah, me neither. Until last
Monday. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I blogged some time ago about becoming comfortable with,
what I called, ‘coming out of the erotica writer’s closet.’ You can read more
about my thoughts on that <a href="http://www.networkedblogs.com/MjCK5">here </a>and <a href="http://kyokochurch.blogspot.com.au/2013_06_01_archive.html">here </a>but the gist of it is I had been
keeping my erotica writer self to, well, myself. She was my sexy alter ego no
one else knew about. But last year I started to let her out. Slowly. Even now,
though, the majority of the time I am your typical working mom, nothing to see
here, and the shy part of me likes it that way. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You would think that since it’s been over a year since I
wrote those entries I would have come a long way in my journey to be comfortable
and proud of my passion for writing kink. I might have even told you I had. But
a recent news item in my home town of Toronto made me realise that perhaps I am
not so chill. What I am referring to is the firing of popular radio show host
Jian Ghomeshi from his long term position with the CBC. Earlier this week Ghomeshi
put up <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jianghomeshi/posts/10152357063881750">a post on his Facebook page</a> stating, in essence, that the CBC fired him
for participating in a consensual BDSM relationship with a now jilted ex
girlfriend. I immediately was outraged. How could a person be fired for consensual
acts that he was involved with in his personal life?? I quickly threw up
several tweets to express my disgust with this injustice.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A more discerning eye, someone not so touchy about kink
shame, would have looked at this news item a bit longer and realised that there
may be more to the story than what Ghomeshi would have you believe from his
Facebook rant. Indeed, as more information about the assaults the women ( yes,
plural, there are in fact four or five --correction, just checked today and now there are eight!) are attributing to Ghomeshi come to
light, disturbingly, it seems increasingly likely that this issue has more to
do with consent than kink. Let me be clear: abuse is not kink. The motto of BDSM is safe, sane and consensual. If a person is choosing to hide abuse behind the veil of BDSM that is deplorable and does the kink world an enormous disservice, to say nothing of what it does for women and their ability to be heard when abuse has happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But I digress.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What does this have to do with little ol’ me, on the other
side of the world, having my photo taken for the SA Weekend? Not much. Except
that it gave me pause. It reminded me that, Ghomeshi aside, there are actually
people out there who have been treated unjustly based solely on <i>consensual
</i>relationships which may seem different to others. I write about these kinds of
relationships. I think they’re pretty …nifty!<span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"></span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And so on Monday as - what the Twittersphere has dubbed - Jiangate was unfolding and
I had only a snippet of the information and I was preparing for my first newspaper photo as an erotica author, a person who writes about BDSM relationships…I may have overreacted. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like what I write. Other people like what I write. Yes, it’s
about sex. Yes, it’s about kink. And it’s about love and relationships and
sometimes it’s even funny. So I’m putting my face out there in my continuing
endeavour to be sex positive and kink positive in what is often a sex negative
world. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Charlotte Campbell no
longer recognizes her life. Once a shy, married woman who loved curling up in
front of the latest episode of Downton Abbey almost as much as her job at the
library, she’s now found herself jilted, holed up in her dead father’s run down
old cottage and demoted to working in “the Dungeon” with only the automated
book sorter for company. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But Charlotte has secrets.
The kinds of drawings she does are not what her work colleagues might expect. Then
there’s Nathan, a young patron at the library and the reason for her demotion.
What happens with Nathan provides Charlotte with much fodder for her art. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know, I've been a very bad writer and neglected my blog for far too long. Sometimes real life steps in and knocks you around a bit and, without boring you with all the gory details, it's been one of those times for me. Long story short though, I am a single woman now! Yep, as you may imagine, they are all lined up around the block for me (and you'd have to imagine it since it's complete fiction) as I revel in my new life of swinging singledom (which in no way involves me drinking copious amounts of wine of an evening, sitting in my parents' lounge with them doing the quiz out of the paper).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But enough of my sexy new life! I have writer-y news to impart. First, I am in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Mammoth-Book-Best-Erotica/dp/0762449470/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396922897&sr=8-1&keywords=mammoth+book+of+erotica+12">here</a>! It is not </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRg2hrTnv04rFbL_H2OcBCFoPPb0_136ECfh-w4_YTP5icxGXF2wM-gvKzgtY48Gq0E6gcMYiWFih6sXYU_Z7p5WF72EfeJtam-ZVxpheyNJXen8YDLa68yyN0apx52eeXp0YXRIc6fk1x/s1600/mammoth.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRg2hrTnv04rFbL_H2OcBCFoPPb0_136ECfh-w4_YTP5icxGXF2wM-gvKzgtY48Gq0E6gcMYiWFih6sXYU_Z7p5WF72EfeJtam-ZVxpheyNJXen8YDLa68yyN0apx52eeXp0YXRIc6fk1x/s1600/mammoth.jpg" height="200" width="131" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> my first attempt at being included in one of Maxim Jakubowski's fabulous collections </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- the man has a discerning eye and insists on the right stories for the right anthology - </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but it is my first successful attempt! So I am stoked to be included amongst some of the best in the genre here in this wonderful collection of over 40 smoking hot stories. If you're not familiar with the Mammoth series of books you should really take a look. (And for those interested in crime writing he also does a Mammoth series for that genre as well.) </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, check <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Draper-Estate-Kyoko-Church/dp/1783755075/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396923648&sr=8-3&keywords=draper+estates">this </a>out...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's right! You can have all three of the my Draper Estate novellas all in one lovely paperback. So for those who still love the feel of a book in your hands, this is for you. Plus, you don't have to wait to find out what happens next. Gulp the whole trilogy down in one go, if you like. I'm not judging. Pour yourself a glass of wine and a bubble bath and have at it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, last but definitely not least, a project that has been in the works for over two years now. That's right, I pitched this idea to the awesome people at <a href="http://sweetmeatspress.com/illustrated_erotic_literature_home.php">Sweetmeats Press</a> when I was still back in Canada. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the tale of
Charlotte, a shy library worker and frustrated artist who begins
illustrating her naughty thoughts in a diary she gets for Christmas at a
pivotal period in her life.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I like to think of it as Bridget Jones meets </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Story of O </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">meets </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diary of a Wimpy Kid</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wait till you get a peek at what Charlotte likes to draw!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took a while for this work to come to fruition but now that it's here I couldn't be more excited about a book that I hope you will find engaging, fun, super sexy and highly readable. So stay tuned for more about...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you are well. I am crazy busy and not finding all the time I wish I could for writing and writing related activities these days. Gosh darn real life and day jobs and all that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I do manage to sneak a few things in. So I have LOTS to tell you! </span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmAF1J4064uCDvzCyJwMJDeN6cVeCDPHtw0EYYpKiBLWo2lEQXu6ckyBgpuiy_YdRTd203puIqasX4At42SToNLb2qddvaAQJpVQM8Q_vNHIT63dGHMcDd_qqzWmG8i0XAko5KaBwxh77/s1600/Shameless+Cover+small.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTmAF1J4064uCDvzCyJwMJDeN6cVeCDPHtw0EYYpKiBLWo2lEQXu6ckyBgpuiy_YdRTd203puIqasX4At42SToNLb2qddvaAQJpVQM8Q_vNHIT63dGHMcDd_qqzWmG8i0XAko5KaBwxh77/s200/Shameless+Cover+small.jpeg" width="133" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though I've already mentioned it, I have to give a shout out again to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shameless-Behavior-Brazen-Stories-Overcoming-ebook/dp/B00FG92DXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382408671&sr=8-1&keywords=kyoko+church+shameless">Shameless antho.</a> I've<a href="http://kyokochurch.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/launch-deets-and-shameless-antho.html"> blogged previously</a> about how refreshing the call for this collection was, the idea of recovering from sexual shame. It's compelling and sex-positive and what I want erotica to be and do. But now that I've got the entire thing on my ereader I can brag about the quality of the work as well. My friends, these are good reads. They are hidden gems. They are thought-provoking and thrilling and hot and really, really wonderfully written. I encourage you to have a peek. I would love to know your thoughts!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And while you're on Amazon, have a little look at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cant-Get-Enough-Erotica-Women/dp/1627780343/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382409667&sr=8-1&keywords=can%27t+get+enough+tenille">this</a>. True, it's not </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">going to be out for a while yet but I just had to mention it anyway. I've always wanted to publish with Cleis Press! And for those of you who came to the first Sex In Words you'll recognize my contribution to this antho as none other than my short story "Spinning." I hope you'll agree that it's a fun little romp! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of "Spinning," if you missed it the first time around and want to hear, I'll be reading it and talking about smut at Stirling Library this Thursday for Girls' Night In. And we'll be making fabric buttons. Yep, you heard that right. 'Cause really, what goes better with smut but crafting?? See all the deets in <a href="http://www.ahc.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/Oct2013LibraryNewsletter.pdf">this month's library newsletter</a>. Remember you have to book!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last but certainly not least.... my trilogy books have new covers!!! Omg, I'm SO excited and thrilled and over the moon with the results! Check it out on the newly created FB page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DraperEstatesTrilogy">here</a>. I hope you'll give them a Like!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well friends, I hope to be back very soon with details on the next Sex In Words and an excerpt from <i>Shadows Deep, </i>Book Three in the Draper Estates Trilogy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh and if you are curious to know more about little ol' me, including a couple of cheeky little photos, you'll want to pick up the Spring Issue of <a href="http://www.adelaidehillsmagazine.com.au/?p=inside">Adelaide Hills Magazine</a>. Lainie Anderson and I get up close and personal! </span><br />

Read all the details about it <a href="http://sexinwordsaustralia.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/sex-in-words-bdsm-edition.html">here</a>. Take note, this is not for the young, faint of heart or easily offended! There will be graphic kink content. You've been forewarned. But really, if you're here, that's what you're looking for, right? So get busy RSVPing!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In other news, Book Three of my historical erotica, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nymphomania-Draper-Estates-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B008VGY0MO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1379469045&sr=8-2&keywords=draper+estates">The Draper Estates Trilogy,</a> is set to come out next month. I will do a reveal of the title and cover closer to the release date. But in the meantime I thought I'd tease you with a naughty little excerpt. I know, that sounds exactly like something I'd do, doesn't it? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I get to that though, I want to confide something. The conclusion of this look into 1860s Boston, a time when hysteria and nymphomania were still valid diagnoses that needed to be treated by doctors, was a bit of a departure for me. I definitely delved into the more <i>romantic </i>side of erotica. My hardened kink side can sometimes roll her eyes at those softer feelings. But this time even kinky li'l me developed a soft spot for a certain character. So if you're a romance buff as well as someone who likes some smut, this book is for you! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's not what this excerpt is about, though. The bit is all filth and depravity, proof that sometimes it is just so much fun to write the baddies! And that's what Dr Phillip Samms is...</span><br />

sate a woman where most of their clients neither knew nor cared that such a
thing was possible. </span></span></div>

said in the same way someone else might ask her to fetch a cup of coffee. ‘Give
the doctor a proper hello, there’s a good girl.’</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘What?’</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘The doctor has been very kind in
accommodating us on short notice,’ Josie said. ‘You will show him your
appreciation by sucking his cock.’</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘But I… I don’t even…’</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Phillip’s staff grew harder in his
breeches. Often one of Josie’s new recruits would be shocked into simply
following orders. But Phillip enjoyed it more when the girl would protest.</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘You’re refusing then?’ Josie said,
nodding to Phillip. He took the girl by the wrists and led her to his refashioned
chair, which he saw her notice for the first time. Josie lifted the girl’s
skirts while Phillip forced her to sit, fastening her wrists and ankles to the
bindings he’d installed on the chair. While Josie continued to hold up Polly’s
skirts, Phillip slid the massage post forward until it rested snugly against
the girl’s undergarments and consequently her vulnerable and sensitive flesh
beneath. Polly protested some more but both Phillip and Josie simply smiled at
each other knowing how the protests to stop would soon turn to pleading for
more. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>As Phillip clicked on the vibrations
to the first setting, sure enough Polly let out a startled little gasp and fell
silent. Josie rubbed Phillip’s quickly stiffening rod through his trousers as
they watched the girl begin to squirm, leisurely biting his ear. ‘God, I love
it when they protest, don’t you?’ she whispered into Phillip’s ear, echoing his
thoughts. She reached over at this point and clicked the vibrations one notch
higher. Polly gave a little squeak and then let out a low sigh. Now Josie
stepped in front of him, shoved her hand down the front of his trousers,
grasping his dick in her hand as she pushed her tongue into his mouth. ‘Just
the thought of how she’ll beg is making me so wet,’ she sighed, lewdly gyrating
her hips into his. Letting go of Phillip’s turgid flesh she turned back to the
machine and set it even higher, causing Polly to moan out and squirm harder
against the vibrations. Reaching behind her Josie caught Phillip’s hand and
slid it between her thighs. Under her skirts Phillip reached into her drawers
and, true to her word, they were drenched in her arousal. He found her hard bud
and diddled it with one finger. ‘Ah!’ Josie cried out at the same time Polly
did. But Josie slammed her hand down on the machine’s switches, causing the
vibrations to cease.</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘No!’ Polly cried. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘Aw, were you enjoying that?’
sneered Josie. Quickly she yanked down her drawers and tackled the fly of
Phillip’s trousers, freeing his completely hard cock before pushing him onto the
table beside the massage chair. Papers scattered and fluttered to the floor as
Josie climbed on the table herself and, straddling Phillip, undid the buttons
of his shirt, reaching in and harshly tweaking his nipples between the long
nails of her fingers. Phillip jumped at the sharp pain mixed with pleasure and
Josie chuckled. ‘That’s too bad,’ she said, still talking to Polly but looking
at Phillip. ‘Since you refused to pleasure the doctor, why should he allow you
pleasure in his chair?’ Phillip’s desk that the two occupied was close enough
to the massage chair that Josie could still reach the controls. She clicked the
lowest setting on again and Polly moaned low. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘No,’ Josie sighed, stroking
Phillip’s rigid member beneath her and making him moan. ‘Instead you can watch
us fuck,’ she said, taking obvious delight in enunciating the last word, her
eyes lighting up in evil anticipation. ‘You will learn your trade and watch how
I use my body to give pleasure to a man.’ Again, she upped the intensity of the
chair’s vibrations. ‘And you, for your completely unacceptable disobedience,
can sit in that chair. And suffer.’ Polly, slowly realizing her predicament,
squirmed and whimpered. The way the buzzing was working through her, causing
the previously shy girl to gyrate and moan, made Phillip’s rod pulse with
arousal in Josie’s hand. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘Then perhaps you’ll learn to do as
I say without question and understand the reason I have you in my employ,’
Josie continued to explain, her voice betraying only the slightest tremor to
indicate just how much she was enjoying this lesson. As the vibrating chair
continued to move the girl to obviously more increased arousal, Josie lifted
herself and slammed her slick, molten quim onto Phillip’s pole. Phillip let out
a howl of pleasure, grasping at the madam’s writhing body and struggling to get
hold of his own spike of arousal. Josie purred in bliss as she slinked her body
up and down, a cat at a scratching post satisfying a carnal itch. Continuing to
toy with the controls, she worked Polly up to a fevered pitch. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘Oh, oh, please, Ms Rodham, please
don’t switch it off again!’ Polly cried. ‘I’m right … I feel… so close, I
just…’ Her pleading was cut off by her own cry of frustrated torment as Josie
flipped the vibrations off once more. ‘Please, Dr Samms, Ms Rodham, I’m sorry,
I’ll do what you ask! Give me another chance. Just please, no more, I can’t
take any more!’</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Phillip felt Josie’s sex tighten and
pulse around his stiffened flesh as the girl begged. He forced himself to
breathe slowly, knowing his place in this scenario meant that he had to show as
much control as he could muster. </span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘Oh, you’re only beginning to learn
what you can take,’ Josie rasped out. ‘This lesson is just getting started.’
She switched the chair back on and Polly began to gyrate again. ‘These
mid-level tremors hold that release just out of reach, don’t they?’ Josie said.
Polly only whimpered. ‘And oh, it feels so good to come. Do you know that, you
slutty little girl? Do you touch yourself, in the dark, at night, under the
bedclothes? Do you stroke your little kitty, wiggle around under your hand,
until you bring yourself off? Let me assure you, coming in this chair is a
thousand times more powerful than anything you could do to yourself. It feels <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so</span> <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">good</span>,’
Josie purred, picking up speed as she continued to impale herself on Phillip’s
shaft. ‘You can imagine it, can’t you?’</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Polly groaned. ‘Please, Ms Rodham,
please!’ she mumbled deliriously, bound hands straining, her body moving, no
doubt her sex seeking out as much of the vibrations as it could. ‘Ah, NO!’ she
cried, as Josie set the tremors back to low.</span></div>
<i>
</i><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>‘Yes, coming in the doctor’s massage
chair is so deliciously gratifying,’ Josie said, obviously delighting in
Polly’s cries as Phillip could feel her tighten even further around him. He
gritted his teeth and dug his fingers into the arms of the chair in his effort not
to spill his boiling seed. ‘Almost as gratifying as coming on a cock,’ Josie
panted, riding him now for all she was worth. ‘Which, you worthless little
whore, you will watch … me do… right… now!’ </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">brand new short story coming out this month with a new (to me) publisher, <a href="http://godeeperpress.com/">Go Deeper Press</a>. My friends, I was compelled to submit ... not in the BDSM way ... to this anthology! Amidst all the usual calls for sexy mommy porn starring bisexual cowboy vampires (okay, I just made that up, but sometimes they all start to sound like some version of that!), here was a publisher asking for stories that </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"show the world that recovery from sexual shame is both positive and hot." How refreshing! Anyone who has read<i> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/For-Pleasure-Mischief-Books-ebook/dp/B009UL1U5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375433266&sr=8-1&keywords=kyoko+church">For Her Pleasure</a></i> knows I have an interest in this topic. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This time I approached things from a female POV. The result is a story entitled <i>Wet</i>. Want a little peak? Okay, here is a snippet:</span><br />

other things, honestly, she didn’t try to recall. But they played like a

have a highlight reel of the worst moments, a ‘greatest hits’ from those years
of shame, a humiliation compilation. </span></div>

The thing is, there is really no other part I could sample that would make any sense without the back story. But trust me, it goes somewhere hot. Oh, there is naughty fun, my friends, don't you worry. I wouldn't lead you astray! So stay tuned for details on where and when you can download the upcoming <i>Shameless </i>antho.</span><br />

Sweeter."<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friends, you know what I've been thinking about? Well, other than that. *blush* I've been thinking it's been a LOOONG time since I've posted a new excerpt up here! And since I'm gearing up for my very first <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/174843406020193/">book launch</a> for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Made-for-Hire-ebook/dp/B00DKDBVW0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372989045&sr=8-1&keywords=kyoko+church+made+for+hire"><i>Made For Hire</i> anthology</a> at the end of this month, I thought it was high time I put up an excerpt from my contribution, <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Sweeter-Made-Hire-ebook/dp/B00DL18FOI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1372989045&sr=8-2&keywords=kyoko+church+made+for+hire">Sweet.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this is a story about Laura. Laura has her own bookkeeping business, a hot older boyfriend named Jack, his beautiful, new pool to lounge around this summer and even a young pool boy, Mason, to look after all the maintenance. So what's the problem? Well, these days it seems Jack is being a bit neglectful. In this scene Laura succumbs to taking care of business on her own. But it seems she is not quite as alone as she thought. And she's left wondering if maybe pool maintenance is not the only maintenance Mason is good for.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I
dash into the family room and fish my special little helper out of my purse. Its
smooth egg shape and shiny contours calm me, knowing that blissful satisfaction
is near. I don’t lie on my back. I need to be fast and the fastest way is when
I can hump down on it in my hand while lying on my front. Quickly I slip it
inside my bikini bottoms and settle it between my labia, just over my clit. Even
the cool hardness of it feels intensely good and when I ease myself down to lie
flat on the sofa with my face buried in a pillow, I click the button on the
attached remote and the vibrations purr into action. My hungry body convulses
and I stifle a cry.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Oh
yes. Oh yes. This is what I need. I won’t be long now. I feel my body winding
tighter with glorious sensations and my release is imminent. Oh fuck, yes. I
shove two fingers in me too, because I just can’t help it, rock the vibrating
egg against me with my palm and come hard, my sex clenching my fingers, my hips
thrusting into my arm, into the sofa as I hump, not caring about anything now
but ringing every last bit of satisfaction out of this sweet release.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Sated
I stand up quickly. I have to clean up fast before Jack walks in the front
door. But when I do I immediately see Mason outside, turning away from the
sliding glass doors of the family room to the pool deck.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Oh
fuck. Oh holy fuck. Mason? What did he see?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">‘Laur?’
I hear the door, Jack coming in the front. I stash my vibrator back into my
purse, wipe my juices on my thigh, adjust my bikini and smooth back my hair. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">‘I’m
here,’ I call out, clearing my throat as I hear the shakiness rise in it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">We
both walk into the kitchen from opposite ends of the house.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">‘You
okay?’ he says. ‘You look flushed.’ He looks out the window. ‘Oh, Mason’s
here.’ Then back at me, eyes narrowing. ‘Did something happen?’</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">‘What?’
I say. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Did it?</i> ‘No, I – I didn’t even
realize he was here.’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Obviously, or you
wouldn’t have been going for it on the sofa.</i> ‘He must have just gotten
here.’ <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Just in time to watch you acting
like a bitch in heat.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">My
brain will not shut up from its ranting in my head. Did he see? How long was he
there? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">It’s
only when I’m lying in my own bed back in my own apartment that night that I
truly begin to calm down. The rest of the time at Jack’s before he left for
racket ball was an uncomfortable nightmare. I kept catching glimpses of Mason
out of the office window, as I was trying vainly to quickly finish up Jack’s
accounts, or out of the kitchen window, when I’d pad in there to grab a cold
drink. Each time I managed a glimpse of him he was staring intently at the
pool, apparently focused on his work. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Maybe he didn’t see.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>But deep down I know he did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Was he shocked? Disgusted? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Certainly a guy his age, with all of
today’s access to porn and live web cams, would have seen much more attractive
women masturbating in ways that were sexy, alluring, enticing. But what I did.
Desperately humping a toy on the sofa. God. So embarrassing! I think I never
want to go back to Jack’s again, as long as he’s going to be there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Except.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Except there’s just one thing that
makes me sure in my head that I will go back, will go the very next day, in
fact, in the hopes that he might be there again. There’s one thing that makes
me do it again, masturbate again, this time leisurely, slowly, deliciously
slowly with all the time and privacy my own bed allows. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">That
is the memory of his eyes, just as he was turning away from the sliding glass
doors. Our eyes met. For a split second we were staring at each other. I stroke
myself, run my fingers up and down and all around my clit over and over, tease
myself, shove my fingers in my sopping hole and back up to my clit again
thinking about what I saw in the depths of that stare, in that solitary moment.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Not
disgust. Not embarrassment. No.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Lust.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">And
not lust in a knowing way, like in the way Jack used to look at me when the
mood would strike him and he’d bind me up in his bed and then stand back to
admire his handiwork.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Can
lust and innocence reside in the same place?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Oh
yes, they can. Powerfully so, I suddenly realize. I saw it in that fleeting
moment reflected in his eyes. All the carnal things he wanted to know but
didn’t yet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Oh
god. I rub my clit hard, harder, finally thinking the thought that has lingered
around the edges of my consciousness since I saw his face through the glass
that afternoon.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I
want to teach him. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">I
thrust two fingers inside myself and come hard on my hand, harder than I did
that afternoon as I gasp out under my sheets, all twisted around me from my
writhing.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Shit.
What the hell am I thinking?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's it for now! Want more? Come out to the <a href="http://sawc.org.au/whats-on/launches-events-meetings/981-friday-26-july">SA Writers Centre</a> and actually hear more on July 26th at 7 p.m. Yep, I'm going to read another excerpt aloud.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I did something last night that
scared the fuck out of me. And it was awesome.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think of myself as a pretty shy
person who sometimes does a good job of faking otherwise. I guess as you mature
and gain experience with putting yourself out there in the world that gets
easier to do. But inside I think I will always be the shy little high school
girl with braces, a bit of a dreamer who liked to disappear for days into a
great book and who occasionally penned her own little snippets, the best of
which contained naughty words a “good girl” most definitely should not be
accustomed to using in any such fashion.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes, I’ve had my share of shame over
writing what I do. I blogged about it <a href="http://kayjaybee.me.uk/news/guest-post-kyoko-church-inside-the-erotica-writers-closet/">here</a>.
And last night I shared the fact that because of that shame, in my head I had been
treating my writing the same way I would as if I had done a huge poo in the
middle of a room. Run away! Deny responsibility! Feign innocence! If someone
says, ‘That’s disgusting!’ agree and shake your head sadly. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also shared coming across <a href="http://justineelyot.com/blog/2013/02/22/briterotica-4-ashley-lister/">this post </a>from Ashley Lister on Justine Elyot’s blog
and how watching these authors read for an audience, for me in that moment, was
like watching them … stand beside their poo. Proudly. Confidently. Without a
moment of shame.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was horrified. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And mesmerized. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And I could Not. Stop. Thinking about
it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wanted to contact someone here in
Adelaide and say, okay! Twist my arm. Sign me up. I’m game. I’ll give it a
shot. But there was no such event. There is no Ashley Lister Down Under. So if
I wanted to do this, if I wanted to have this experience, I would have to
create it. And to do that, I would have to step WAY out of my comfort zone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hence the birth of Sex In Words. With
the totally supportive and open-minded help of the team at Dymocks Adelaide I
was able to put together an event for authors to showcase explicit scenes in
their work for everyone to enjoy. And on top of that, thanks to our sponsors,
<a href="http://sweetmeatspress.com/">Sweetmeats Press</a> and <a href="http://xcitebooks.com/">Xcite Books</a>, we were able to offer guests some great ebook

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I stood beside my poo.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Okay, what I write is not poo. Well,
maybe it is to some people… but it’s not to me! And I’m not thinking of it that
way any longer. I should probably change the title of this blog post. But it’s
kinda funny so I’m not going to.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But here’s something else. Another
secret, while I’m laying all my cards out on the table. I went a little easy on
myself last night. I figured since hosting an event and reading my work aloud
are two totally new and scary experiences, I would give myself a break in choosing
what to read. Now don’t get me wrong, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spinning</i>
is a great story, I’m really proud of it! It’s a style I’ve always wanted to
try my hand at. But it’s not my typical fare. In fact, it’s the only story I’ve
ever written without an ounce of kink. </span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s one scary experience to read
about sex aloud. But, generally speaking, all adults have sex. Not all of them
have kinky sex. And <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spinning </i>aside, that’s
what I write about. Kink. BDSM. Dominance and submission. So hang onto your
floggers, everyone, cause that’s where we’re going next. Don't have a flogger? We just may be able too hook you up. *gasp!* </span></div>

erotica for almost eight years. From <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The

a woman on a continuous quest for erotic adventure, to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Perfect Submissive (Xcite)</i>, my first full length BDSM novel,

latest BDSM romance, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Making Him Wait</i>
(Sweetmeats Press), with 6 other anthologies of my own, and over 70 short
stories in between, I have covered virtually every angle of the erotica genre.

people react when I tell them what I do for a living. Granted, I don’t tell
many people from my ‘real’ life what it is I am up to as I tap away at my
laptop every day, but those that do know often – after the initial shock that
someone as I shy as myself should write this stuff - look at bit, well,
disappointed. My lack of fishnet stockings and skirts the width of a belt, just
doesn’t fit the bill somehow. </span></span></div>

looking me up and down, digesting the reality that I am a very ordinary forty-something,
in coffee stained jeans and a jumper. I’m average height, average weight,
average shoe size, and (most shocking of all) I wear no makeup!! </span></span></div>

if I wrote murder mysteries would they expect me to have a violent criminal
record? If I wrote ghost stories, would they expect me to haunt the local
graveyards and spookier parts of the area? Of course not- yet as someone who has
found that her strength is in writing sexual acrobatics, I’m expected to appear
as though I am about to seduce anybody who happens to be passing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Naturally, I should have an emergency piece
of rope in my pocket to tie up his or her wrists, and (as a writer of BDSM and
S&M), there is obviously going to be a whip or paddle secreted in the

to imagine us scribbling away about our own experiences, with one eye on the

only way to win this battle is to write the very best stories I possibly can, not
take these perceptions seriously, and meet everyone’s expectations halfway. So,
whenever I appear at readings at Sh! Women’s Store in London, or am doing publicity
for any of my publishers, I pop on the mini skirt (not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">too</i> short), the low cut top (but <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">with </i>a cardigan over the top!), the boots (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> high heeled), stockings (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i>
fishnet), and a smile that can only be described as suggestive.</span></span></div>

Edwards described my life as having something of the Superman about it. Not
that he was suggesting I could leap buildings in a single bound or anything.
Jeremy told me he had this image of me dropping my children off at school, and
then, as I walk towards the cafe where I always write, undergoing some sort of
mental and physical transformation. He imagined me walking taller, my head
higher, smiling knowingly at strangers- my personality almost totally changing,
- as if I was entering a telephone box as Clark Kent and coming out a
Superhero. The thing is; Jeremy is almost right. As Kay I do walk taller, and I
am <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">so</i> much braver. </span></span></div>

of what people have traditionally thought erotica writers should be like to my
advantage; helping me to develop my alter-ego ‘Kay Jaybee.’<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could argue that by doing so I am making
it harder for people’s attitudes to change towards us erotica types- but I do
hope not. Dressing the part is like acting- it doesn’t stop me being happily
married, or a mum, or an office worker- it just gives me the little bit of
confidence I need to read my wares in public, and makes said public smile!!</span></span></div>

What are you going to do with me?
I can only assure you, dear friends, that I have been a busy little smut peddler indeed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last week I finished and submitted the third book in my Draper Estates Trilogy! Hurrah, and at long last! Now begins the nerve racking time where I sit around and wait for the verdict from my Xcite Books editor. Perhaps because this book is the conclusion of the trilogy I am more nervous than usual about it. I hope the editor shares my vision for how the characters evolve and where the story ends up. And I hope you will too! I will give you more news about publication as soon as I have it. </span><br />
<br />

Sweeter.” and will be out at the end of this month! Friends, I am really proud of my contribution in this work. Although it’s a short story, at over 12 000 words it is at the longer end of the spectrum for me, so you are getting a lot of bang for your buck (both literally and figuratively). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But don't take my word for it. Kojo Black, who compiled the anthology said, “I felt like I wanted to lick my fingers clean after I read it. It's sweet and sensual, dirty and rude, sexy and deeply sexual all at the same time.” What an endorsement! I have just seen the cover and it’s very dark, sexy, cool and understated. Love! Stay tuned for an exciting cover reveal! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At the beginning of the month I was over at the charming and delightfully funny Ashley Lister’s blog talking about what a naughty, little smut writer I am… er, I mean, how to write erotic fiction. Check it out <a href="http://howtowriteeroticfiction.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/kyoko-church.html">here</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next week, I’ll be over at the prolific and talented Kay Jaybee’s blog. There I will open up about some struggles I’ve had with writing about sex and what I’m doing about it (see Dymocks paragraph below). It’s an intensely personal post and I hope you’ll have a read and let me know your thoughts. I’m always interested in your comments! Stay tuned for the link. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And best for last! I am thrilled (and by thrilled, I mean completely petrified) about my upcoming erotica reading event with Dymocks Adelaide on June 25th. Get all the details about it from their website <a href="http://dymocksadelaide.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/imagine-imagine-cool-winter-evening-out.html">here</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Friends, I have never read my work aloud before, to say nothing about hosting an entire event like this! The extent of my public speaking experiences pretty much begins and ends with the two times I’ve served as matron of honour at weddings… and I had to be half in the bag just to manage my fear over those. I know I am the one who pushed to make this event happen but as the date looms closer and closer I’m pretty much freaking out and wondering what the heck I’ve gotten myself into. Are you in Adelaide and want to see whether I pull it off or crash and burn? Come on out! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seriously, the main reason to attend is to see two fabulously talented authors, Kate Belle and Angela Castle, who are coming all the way from Victoria to participate, read their work. And ha, I’m not the only one who’s nervous about reading sex scenes aloud! Check out <a href="http://ecstasyfiles.com/2013/06/12/freudian-faux-pas/">what happened to Kate</a> at her most recent event. Friends, it’s going to be hot, sexy, fabulous fun so come and join us! Remember to RSVP to Dymocks at the email address indicated in the link. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That’s all for now, but come back soon to hear about my very first book launch coming up at the end of July… </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Love, </span><br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you’re a romance and/or erotica author with a Twitter
feed that you’ve looked at more than once over the past couple of days then you’re
likely to have seen people discussing some author moves that seem – when looked
at with a skeptical eye and then passing that skeptical eye over to the Amazon
rankings – a little suspect. The words ‘publicity stunt’ got tossed around and
it’s hard to disagree with those voices. I won’t mention the authors here; I
don’t know them, I’d never heard of them before this weekend, I’ve never read
their books and I have no idea if the books are good, the voices are valid or
what their motivations are. But for a new-ish author with a book she’s really
proud of that’s doing alright but hardly burning it up the Kindle charts, it’s
hard not to feel defeated. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’d taken to Twitter and Facebook to say, can’t we just
write good books, put them out there and hope for the best? But really, that
answer is naïve. Every author knows that you have to do some degree of
promotion and, unless you’re in the upper echelons of writer fame, that
promotion falls almost entirely on the author’s own shoulders. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So no, an author cannot just write her book and hope for the
best. She must promote it. But the question is how? How to promote? And it
seems that at least two writers this weekend, either intentionally or not, have
stumbled upon a good way. Put a rant up on a blog… and then watch the fallout
ensue and your sales rise.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is all well and good for me to stick my nose in the air,
call myself an artiste and say I do it all for the sake of art and don’t care
about the money. But first, I don’t know that I’d deign to call my work art.
That seems really egotistical. I don’t know if it’s art, I just know I like it,
that I strove to make it the best it could be and hoped others would find
enjoyment from reading it. Second – and not to get too Les Mis on you – there are
indeed children at home and the children have got to be fed. I’m not above a little
hype if it’s gonna mean the hours I spent on my book are going to pay off.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But the truth is, I just can’t bring myself to fake
something. And I’m not bashing those who did, if that was indeed their angle. It’s
brilliance in its own way, if annoying to the rest of us. I am just really
enjoying living my life as truthfully as possible. So I can’t.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here’s my truth. I wrote a book. It’s called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/For-Pleasure-Mischief-Books-ebook/dp/B009UL1U5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368924311&sr=8-1&keywords=for+her+pleasure+kyoko">For Her Pleasure</a>. It’s as dirty and depraved and funny and smutty and well edited and
well written as I could possibly make it. I had a blast writing it. It was a
total joy. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Through the wonders of social media, I've recently had the pleasure of getting to know the extremely charming and talented Mr Willsin Rowe. Willsin and I got to chatting about writing and as one of the few male erotica writers I know, I was really interested in his unique perspective. And I thought you might be too! So here is some of our conversation:</span><br />

Willsin, you spoke recently about men being stereotypically visual creatures
who lean more towards watching porn than reading about sex. And yet you are a
man who not only reads it... you write it as well. What draws you to erotic
fiction? What do you think reading about sex can bring someone that watching it
cannot?</span></span></div>

where bog-standard porn falls short for me is in its harshness. I like nothing

with romantic and erotic material, there's a tradition of strong and aloof male

I had indulged exclusively in submissive fantasies and my writing reflected
that. So writing <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/For-Pleasure-Mischief-Books-ebook/dp/B009UL1U5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367545839&sr=8-1&keywords=for+her+pleasure+kyoko">For Her Pleasure</a> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">was a bit of a revelation. I didn’t
know I could identify with a powerful Domme. What clicked with me? It was
hugely freeing to write from a Domme perspective. In a lot of ways Mistress is
opposite to my own nature so to step into her shoes – a woman who is completely
self-assured, who is in complete control, who is totally comfortable giving
orders and is always one step ahead – felt exciting and powerful and
exhilarating. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As for
submissive men, this was another revelation to me. From an outside perspective
it might seem that the attraction would be in having a man whom you can just
order around to do whatever you want, to fulfill your every sexual whim or
desire. That’s maybe partially it… but for me that’s not even half of the
attraction. I think what’s important here is to make a distinction between
‘submissive’ and ‘weak.’ To me there is an ironic power in a man’s decision to
submit to a woman. Most often our society seems to dictate that men should be
in control. So for a man to – first of all, explore enough to realize he finds
a sexual thrill in submitting – and then to indulge that desire, to me that is
a man who is comfortable with his sexuality and his self-confidence, who
understands himself and his passions and doesn’t care about what society
dictates. That’s not weak. To me that’s brave and powerful and sexy.</span></div>

submissive women? Do you have a preference for writing one or the other?</span></div>

Well, I find myself thinking about the whole nature of “power”. Throughout the
history of literature (and, of course, the real world) there are stories of
powerful men laid low by the love of women. Men who figuratively (and often
literally) prostrate themselves – denigrate themselves, even – in front of the
women they love. The whole “I’m not worthy” and “You’re too good for me” line
of thinking. Of course, it’s debatable these days whether that’s natural
behaviour or the result of watching too many romantic comedies.</span></span></div>

also debatable in those cases whether it’s the woman who has power over the
man, or whether it’s the man’s own urges which lay him low.</span></span></div>

to what I love about powerful women...</span></span></div>

with power comes at least the appearance of confidence. As a naturally reticent
person, confidence has a great attraction to me. And its attraction comes in
many forms. It could be the businesswoman in her mid-50s who has risen through
the ranks on her own terms and without masculinising. It could be the size 16
woman who’s wearing figure-hugging lycra while she jogs down the street. Women
who don’t take crap, who won’t play the victim, and who can admit their
mistakes.</span></span></div>

a far more primal attraction to submissive women, though. There are
evolutionary reasons why men are on average taller, heavier and stronger than
women. And there’s a deep-down, primate part of a man’s brain that gets a real
buzz from being the biggest, the fastest, the strongest. A submissive woman
feeds that ancient animal. She tells him without words that he is in charge. He
is the hunter and she is the cornered prey.</span></span></div>

immensely powerful woman. A billionaire with her own empire, and with an
addiction to coffee, cigarettes and pretty boy gigolos. Our Dom, Master Sweet,
is charged with teaching her the value of submitting, of letting go of the reins
sometimes, even if it’s only for an hour or two. Natasha’s internal struggle,

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a limited period of time both <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/For-Pleasure-Mischief-Books-ebook/dp/B009UL1U5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367374885&sr=8-1&keywords=for+her+pleasure+kyoko">For Her Pleasure</a> and the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Forever-Bound-Mischief-Books-ebook/dp/B009UL0TBK/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1367374910&sr=1-4">Forever Bound</a> antho are being offered for free from Amazon UK. So click on the links and download your free copy while you can!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Want to show your appreciation for this offering? A review would be much appreciated!

So leave your two cents and let others know what you thought.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently this is just being offered on the Amazon UK site and I am waiting to hear if Amazon US will be following suit but it's possible they won't. I'm unsure if readers outside the UK will be able to take advantage of this free offer so if you try and would like to share whether you were successful or not, feel free to leave a comment or email me. </span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: Carla, one thing that definitely shines through your book
is your interest in Japanese culture. Can you tell me how and where that
interest began and why the culture has struck a chord with you?</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">CC: My first introduction to Japanese culture was
through Martial Arts when I was young. I've studied them deeply ever
since and fell in love with the whole feel of the culture: the ethic,
the link with nature, through Shinto and focus through
Zen. This holding on to now, living each moment each feeling, it's very
precious. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was taught to learn Martial Arts the
traditional way. You are not taught, you watch. You 'steal' what the
teacher is showing you. As an author I now steal moments. Snatches of
conversation, a look, a glance, a gesture. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You might laugh but I saw a very old documentary
once about Oliver Hardy from Laurel and Hardy. He described how he
wanted to be an actor from a very young age. He was very lonely as a
child because of his size and so he studied people.
He snatched gestures and mannerisms. If you watch the old black and
white movies, before the talkies, you get a sense of the over dramatic
use of acting. With no sound you have to exaggerate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was the best description I have ever heard of
what actors and martial artists do to learn and how I myself work as an
author. I can't watch a film or people without noticing something and
trying to work it into a book. Once you get
the exaggerated effect, you then have to tone it back down. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's the same with Martial Arts you have to learn
big then refine. My life and my writing is a constant refinement. If
you don't have the discipline to rewrite the same passage over and over
again you will never be a writer. Small changes
can make a huge difference in the shift and balance of a sentence, of a
phrase. A wrong sentence or word can throw a story. I took out a lot of
expletive language from Miyuki because it just didn't fit the story.
They weren't words that I associated with Dom,
Miyuki or Carla. I still think I could have refined it more.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span dir="ltr"><i>KC: One of my favourite mini-series of all time is Shogun,
based on James Clavell’s novel of the same name. There were times when
Miyuki reminded me of Lady Mariko, guiding Carla through her world of
domination and
submission. When you began your own exploration of D/s did it feel a bit
like that to you, like a foreign land? Or did you create that feeling
for the book?</i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes there is a link between Miyuki and Mariko. I
think I had Mariko in mind in some of the descriptive elements of
Miyuki, the way she knelt, mannerisms; her way of talking. I certainly
felt like Blackthorne thrust into a world he didn't
know but came to love. He too fell in love with the culture of Japan
just like in the story I came to appreciate the D/S relationship. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think there are parallels between the two
stories with that sense of exploration and falling in love. The
frightening unknown. Shogun was so well written. Being a Pilot,
Blackthorne was used to the sense of exploration and danger. He
very much existed in the moment, which enabled him to open up to the
Japanese culture he found himself in. That life then opened him to the
exploration of the culture but also opened him up to the ship wreck of
losing Mariko at the end, just like he lost his
ship at the beginning. He completed the circle. Such a satisfying book
in so many respects. The echoes and undercurrents in Shogun are amazing.
I could never hope to write anything like that. But I tried very hard
in Miyuki to do so. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I haven't personally experienced a D/S
relationship. That is why I had to research and craft the world of
Miyuki very carefully. I had to do it justice. You are writing about how
real people live and love. That deserves respect and you
must get it right.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">CC: As a writer, I was very keen to redress the
stances adopted in some very bad D/S books that have been published
recently. They have been written, as far as I can see, with no thought
of what such relationships are like, why the exponents
enter into such relationships, how they work or what they expect. That
is why I did my research and had the enormous help of one particular
lady, who I mention in the credits. These relationships are beautiful
done well and ugly done badly, just like any other.
They are not abuse, although some people may see them as that. I wanted
to show people the beauty in them, the normality that exists for the
people in them, but also to create a feeling that they are set apart
slightly from the world; but being remote are something
exciting, to be explored and wondered at. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was also an exploration, for me, of the type
of people. The Dom and the Sub play their roles, yet strike a balance.
They cannot exist without each other. They are interdependent, like the
mountain and the snow. The height of the mountain
creates the snowfall, the snowfall softens the mountain and eats away at
it, yet the mountain remains strong and supports the snow. I see such
relationships like that: an energetic relationship constantly changing,
beautiful. There is no ideal D/S relationship,
just like there is no ideal in any other relationship. You have to open
yourself up and listen to your partner and take responsibility.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The research for Shibari was done the same way,
by talking to a practitioner and listening. I have not experienced it.
Maybe one day I will. I can easily imagine things, so once I had the
answers to questions like the smell, taste, texture
of the rope and even to some extent the sound of it, I had all the
imagery I needed to write it. I had it proof read by the lady in
question who corrected the errors. If any errors remain they are solely
mine. The thing that came over for me, was the love of
the rope, an adoration. I tried very hard to get that feeling down on
paper. It was a very Zen thing for me, to be bound but you surround the
rope. It is a question of 'head space' as the lady put it. </span></div>

very much follows on from Miyuki. Carla contacts Izzie and, well let's
just say, Carla's education goes deeper. She explores darker themes, but
in a good way. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This series of books is all about an exploration
of one person into a sexual side of her that she does not know exists.
It also gives her the chance to explore and come to terms with, other
sides of herself she did not know, or had forgotten.
It is very much a series about awakening, hence my references to Zen in
this first book. It is also an exploration, hence the reference to
mountains and wilderness. I wanted to be subtle about it, to show not to
tell. Hopefully the readers will follow Carla's
journey and think about such things in their own lives - how far would
they go? I have the basic ideas for the next book down, but it is going
to take some careful planning and the final book in the series (still
only in my head) goes deeper still. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, whereas the books are labelled erotica and I
hope there is enough hot sex in them to get the reader's juices going, I
also want Miyuki and the other books to be more than just about sex. I
wanted to make a bridge between romance and
erotica. Bridges go two ways. People who like romance can experience
some language and imagery they had not before and people who simply like
erotica can explore some romance. Like Miyuki, the book straddles two
worlds, two extremes: duality. Hence the reference
to the koan of one hand clapping.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If anything this book was about me growing as an
author of erotica. My first books satisfied a need in me to get sex down
on paper. Now I can take the time to explore me a little, refine my
writing and hopefully entertain along the way.</span><br />

Through Facebook I was delighted to find out that aside from being a talented purveyor of smut, she's also just a really sweet person. You can read more about her bio at the end of this post, but for now I invite you to sit back and enjoy while I talk to KD about her exciting new book, <i>Kinky Boots!</i></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> KC:<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> The pleasure is all mine, KD! So tell us, how
did you start writing erotic fiction? Did you try any other genres? Do you
write any other genres now? </span></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">KD: I’ve always been able to write sex
scenes and love scenes well, even back in the day when I was struggling to find
someone to look at my non-erotic work. One day I bought a copy of the
now-defunct UK magazine, ‘Scarlet,’ which was a sexy mag for women. It had a
section called ‘Cliterature,’ which accepted submissions from erotic writers. I
thought to myself, I could do that. I sent a story. They took it! Not only did
they take it, but they sent me a cheque! Up until that point the only thing any
place I’d ever submitted to sent me was a rejection letter, and usually a form
letter at that! I liked the cheque MUCH better. I published several short
stories with them, before being introduced to Adam Nevill, who was then the
editor for Black Lace. I had several stories published with Black Lace before
they went out of business the first time, then Xcite Books published <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Initiation of Ms Holly </i>and I’ve
never looked back.</span></span></span></div>

erotica, but I found I just had too much fun, so I’m still writing it. However,
I am working in several other genres at the moment, including romance, and I’m
working on a burlesque play in collaboration with the very talented Moorita
Encantada, who is a burlesque performer, artist and entrepreneur in London. Definitely
outside of my comfort zone, but great fun!</span></span></span></div>

I have so much respect and admiration for an artist ... and really anybody... who is willing to take risks on something different and/or outside her comfort zone. Life can be so much fun when you take calculated risks! I wish you lots of luck with your burlesque play. So, tell
us how the magic happens! Where do you write? How do you get inspiration?</span></span></div>

supposed to be my writing room, but I didn’t like it. I couldn’t see out the
window. I need to see out the window when I write. So I write in a ratty black
leather recliner in the back of the living room or at the dining room table. My
end of the table is avalanching with books and papers and mags and all sorts of
writerly stuff that has to be quickly stuffed away when we have guests. </span></span></span></div>

from being trapped in the Eurostar tunnel beneath the channel. The Lakeland
Heatwave trilogy was inspired by being caught in a heavy mist on a mountain
walk in the English Lake District. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kinky
Boots</i> was inspired by a walk around the Shoreditch area of London which had
a large number of really quirky shoe stores. Basically inspiration can come
from anything for me, and I never know when or where I’ll get the next idea<i>.</i></span></span></span></div>

is paranormal erotic romance. Though I’m just as happy writing contemporary
erotic romance, I really love writing paranormal too. I think the reason is
that sex and romance are such magical topics anyway. Don’t we all feel like
we’re experiencing magic when we’re having great sex or when we’re in love?
Also there’s just something really fun about a world where everything is
possible. I don’t do vampires or werewolves. Lots of other people do them way
better than I ever could, but I love witches, demons and ghosts. Oh, and
succubi. </span></span></span></div>

loved reading on your site about how you came up with the story for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kinky Boots.</i> It had a lot to do with the

think of any story I’ve written that isn’t very location-centric. The Lakeland
Heatwave trilogy could have never been written about anywhere else and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kinky Boots </i>would have never had that
sense of quirkiness if I hadn’t taken that walk in Shoreditch. I love reading
novels in which I’m pulled in by the place and want to just settle in with the
characters and stay. And it’s easiest to write about places I know and love.
Each time I write, it’s almost like I get to go there again in my head.</span></span></span></div>

always loved toying with the idea of two beings living in the same body, and
when I created Eleanor my focus was on what it would be like to be such a
vivacious sensual being, but have no flesh with which to experience all the
pleasures that having a body afford us. Keeping that in mind as I wrote her
made it easier. The first time I was in Eleanor’s head, what I didn’t expect
was how careful she would be with Jill because of her reverence for flesh, for
what it means to be able to fully interact with the world through a body. Also,
I hadn’t actually realised just how much she cared for Finn and just how lonely
she was. Those were all things that sort of unfolded as I wrote her. </span></span></span></div>

about writing the same character from different points of view? Eleanor shows
up in both Finn and Jill. She is the same character and yet part of two
different people. Did you try to be really consistent with the character or did
you try to make her slightly different to reflect the body she inhabits?</span></span></div>

Eleanor is female, so she’s never really keen about sharing Finn’s body or
Meinrad’s. In fact the whole reason she possesses Jill is so she can enjoy
Finn’s body sexually. She was never really more than a temporary visitor in
Finn’s body, and her arrangement with the Sole Alliance was sort of like
staying in a different hotel room every night. It was never really a home for
her. So, no. Eleanor was always Eleanor, along for the ride. But she was able
to be much more herself when she inhabited Jill’s body</span>. </span></span></div>

all-night shoe store, with the store’s hot owner, Finn Masters, Jill
Hart walks away in the most gorgeous boots she’s ever seen.Her new boots
come with an unexpected bonus, a sexy demon named Eleanor, who’s
looking for a good time. All she lacks is a body, and Jill’s will do
nicely.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jill quits her dead-end job and, not knowing what’s come over her,
unwittingly participates in something she’s never done before. But it’s
Finn’s job to prevent Eleanor’s misbehaving while in possession of Jill –
he’ll have to ride shotgun and do damage control until Eleanor moves
out at the next full moon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But with Eleanor in residence, Jill’s bolder, sexier, willing to take
risks. Will the maddeningly magical ménage make Jill’s dreams come
true, or will it break her heart?</span><br />

embarking on a blog tour. This is where I travel around the web leaving little
snippets at the doorsteps of various bloggers around the world without ever
having to leave the comforts of my newly set up office. I could have done the
whole thing in my jammies, you’d never know! Oh, I shouldn’t say that, should
I? I should tell you I wrote it naked while being fed grapes from an Adonis
named Lamar. Okay, scratch the jammies, it was Lamar with the grapes. </span></div>

focus of the tour. I know the point of these blog tours is to bring your book
to a wider audience but for anybody who is already reading, what I also hope is
to bring you real insight into my story. I try to blog about something unique
and interesting each time. If you’ve already read <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For Her Pleasure</i> but perhaps want to know a little more about the
evolution of it or hear some armchair psychology on some of the kinks involved,
I hope you’ll come along. I will blog about everything from femdom to premature
ejaculation to erotic humiliation. And you might even learn a little more about
me. ;)</span></div>

starts today (Aussie readers, the link will up shortly, as usual we just have
to wait for the rest of the world to catch up. ;) I will post a link every day
this week. Then there will be a few bonus stops later on in the month. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have more fun news to share with you on the eve of my book being released. That is, I have a release mate! If you're familiar with many of the other authors over at Mischief or with awesome UK erotica writers in general, then I'm sure she needs no introduction. Ms Justine Elyot is one of their best! And today she has a brand new book out too, <i>Confessions of a Kinky Wife.</i> Great title, huh? And check out the fun cover:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Justine and I thought it would be fun if we did a little cross interview in light of our books dropping the same day. So today you get to learn a little about another Mischief author and her kinky new book! Without further adieu, I give you... Justine Elyot!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: How did you start writing erotic fiction? Did you try any other genres? Do you write any other genres now? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">JE: I
started with fanfiction, wanting to peek into the bedrooms of my
favourite characters. For some reason they didn't tell me to get out.
Perhaps they're exhibitionists. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hadn't written in any other
genre before selling my first erotic story, but always wanted to write
historical fiction. Watch this space. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: Tell us how the magic happens! Where do you write? How do you get inspiration? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
write in my living room and inspiration comes from all over the place.
Really, most of what I write has been in my head for a long, long time –
decades, in some cases. Now and again I'll get an idea for something
new, but it usually creeps up on me with a cosh. I don't go looking for
inspiration – it's an elusive swine anyway. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: How much of
Justine Elyot is in Philippa? Have you wondered what being a submissive
woman in the 21st century means for sexual equality? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">JE: I wanted
Philippa to be as close as possible to an 'everywoman' kind of character
– and I'm certainly not that, so she's not terribly like me, although
we do share some characteristics. An interest in kink for one
thing…haha. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for wondering about the implications of being a
submissive woman in the 21st century – I rarely do anything else! I
always felt guilty for having these feelings when younger, as if I were
spitting on the grave of the Pankhursts or whatever. To be honest, I
don't think I've come to terms with it even now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: What are your thoughts on the balance of power between a Dom and a sub? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
know it's called power exchange, but the whole relationship hinges on
how much each partner is enjoying it. So I think it's actually pretty
balanced. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: What do you think drives people who want to
explore spanking or other types of corporal punishment in their sexual
relationships? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It turns them on. Before trying it out, people
will have been fantasising about it. I think it's predisposition in some
people, curiosity in others. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: Do you have ideas about
how to approach a partner if you want to explore aspects of BDSM and
your relationship has been vanilla? (I’m asking for a friend…;) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hahaha!
Buy one of my books and leave it lying around? I think it's easier
nowadays, with information about sexuality and kink being much more
freely available and accessible online. It takes confidence and nerve to
just bring the subject up, but that's probably better in the long run
than trying to drop a million hints. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: What’s your favourite kinky movie and why? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I haven't watched that many kinky movies, strangely enough. I get embarrassed. I do love Secretary though. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: What’s your favourite quote and why? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
don't have one particular favourite. Re-reading Pride and Prejudice the
other day I clapped my hands at Miss Bingley's line 'How much sooner
one tires of anything than of a book'. Well said, Miss B (however
insincerely). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: What’s your favourite part of writing? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">JE: Living in a fantasy world and getting paid for it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">KC: Can you tell us what you’re working on at the moment? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">JE: I'm
working on several things – a Victorian erotic novel, a country house
romance and a non-erotic historical series. Two of these have homes with
publishers, the other is still at an early stage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My friends, my book drops tomorrow and I'm such a scatterbrain that I didn't realize it was tomorrow until someone pointed it out to me a mere hour ago. Gah! Somehow I got it in my head there were still a couple of days. This is where being in Australia helps. We are ahead of the rest of the world, time-wise! Helpful for scatterbrained authors who need time pulling themselves together. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So as part of the introduction for it, I am participating in a blog hop. What is a blog hop? When I first looked at it I thought, oh no, this is a
chain letter! What have I gotten myself into! Fear not, fellow authors and good
readers. You don’t have to send annoying missives to friends and family, nobody
is promising you a million dollars and nothing drastic will befall you if you
decide to turn away. (But please don’t! :) Basically, it’s a way for readers to
discover authors new to them. I hope you'll find new-to-you authors whose works
you enjoy. On this stop on the blog hop, you'll find a bit of information on me
and one of my books and links to three other authors you can explore!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thanks to fellow author Tenille Brown for inviting me to participate in this
event. You can click the following link to learn more about Tenille and her
work. Website: <a href="http://therealtenille.com/" target="_blank">http://therealtenille.com</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In this blog hop I have answered ten questions about my book, giving you a
sneak peek. I’ve also included some behind-the-scenes information about how and
why I write what I write--the characters, inspirations, plotting and other
choices I make. The other authors on the blog hop will do the same. I hope you
enjoy it!</span></div>

my Next Big Thing!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>1: What is the working title of your book? </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">There’s actually a story here.
First, a little confession. I hate coming up with titles! Well, I shouldn’t say
I hate it. I just find it really difficult. What’s in a name, and all that. How
do you put together a few words to encapsulate the essence of your book? You
want something intriguing and alluring but not trite or cheesy or wordy. I take
it very seriously. For this book I brainstormed, I researched, I sent a short
list to my editor and I even posted a poll on my blog. At long last I came up
with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">At Her Feet.</i> I loved that title!
And then the powers that be came along and changed it to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For Her Pleasure.</i> Lol. That’s the way it goes, my friends! And I
had to trust that those ‘powers be’ for a reason. So <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For Her Pleasure</i> it is. I hope you like it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>2: Where did the idea come from for the book?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It came from two short stories I
wrote that appeared in the Mischief titles <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">My
Secret Life</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Captivated.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>3. What genre does your book come under? </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Like my previous books, it’s
erotica. Unlike my previous books, it’s my first foray into femdom. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">While I wrote I strongly had the
image of Christina Hendricks as Joan in the tv show Mad Men in mind as the
character of Mistress. I even named my character Joan. For subPaul I envision
someone very straight looking, attractive but not glamorously so. Someone like
Colin Firth. . If you want to see more of the images I had in my head while
writing, have a look at my Pinterest board </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/kyokochurch/for-her-pleasure-inspiration/"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">here</span></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">When a married man with a secret
shame chairs the sexual harassment committee at his work and comes under the
spell of his bombshell colleague, he finds submitting to her plunges him into
his deepest desires…but threatens everything he has.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

represented by an agency?</b></span></div>

</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It’s published by HarperCollins UK

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The characters and plot had been
brewing for quite some time but the actual writing took approximately four
months. Also, I was writing in the midst of moving my family from Canada to
Australia! So that impacted the writing time.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Believe
it or not, I hadn’t read any femdom before I wrote my book. Since writing it
I’ve read a little bit, but I’ve only just started scratching the femdom
surface. One of the few I’ve read is Charlotte Stein’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Power Play, </i>the cover of which, incidentally, was the inspiration
for the lovely big orange heel on my cover! I’m a huge fan of Charlotte’s work
and while I think we approach this subgenre differently, I would recommend
anything of hers.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The idea of a person transforming
shame into a source of powerful arousal is something I find endlessly
fascinating and was really the inspiration for me to give these short story
characters a whole book. That a person could find the strength to embrace
something that has tortured him and turn it into something positive just makes me
want to stand up and applaud!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

domination and erotic humiliation I hope will find this book enjoyable. And if
you’re new to any of those things but have an open mind and a fun, playful
attitude to exploring sexuality then I would invite you to have a look too! I’m

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I'm gearing up for the release of my first HarperCollins single author title, it occurs to me that I haven't actually talked about the content of this book for quite some time. While I was writing and submitting it I would often post excerpts. Plus, it is based on previously published short stories (that appear <a href="http://www.amazon.com/My-Secret-Life-What-ebook/dp/B007E3ERTQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1335016436&sr=1-1">here </a>and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Captivated-Very-Own-Slave-ebook/dp/B007QOXGYK/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1342357904&sr=1-1&keywords=captivated+my+very+own+slave">here</a>, if you're interested). But if you're new to my blog and/or haven't read either of those stories then you won't know anything about this new book. I should probably do something about that, huh?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For Her Pleasure</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a femdom novella. If the idea of femdom scares you or doesn't interest you or is something you think is really weird and you don't get it... I'll ask you to go with me a bit on this. You might be surprised. Because, before I started writing in this subgenre, I was like you. But when I started delving into these characters I found a great new source of kinky fun! And if you are already into femdom then I hope you'll find a fresh perspective here. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This story is about what happens when you have a secret shame... that you start to embrace. Instead of running away from it you run towards it. This is what happens to subPaul. Together with his Mistress he learns that sometimes, when you accept the thing that torments you, it can be the beginning of a brand new life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the blurb:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Imagine an average guy with a wife, a job,
average house, average car, average sex life… Well, not exactly. He has a
secret he finds so embarrassing that he never talks to anyone about it.
And then one day he meets her…</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An
architect chairs the newly formed Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Committee. When the consultant he hires to help him organize the new
committee turns out to be a red haired bombshell, he tries to rein in
his untoward thoughts.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But when she uncovers his embarrassing
little secrets, this married man ends up in a relationship that’s so
wrong on every level of his carefully put together life.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How long will he let his burning carnal desires threaten everything he’s worked so hard for?</span></i></div>

‘A little closer, silly,’ she said, lifting her foot up, offering it to him as

making?’ she chided. ‘I was only enjoying the foot rub! You weren’t thinking
that’s what I sound like when I fuck, were you?’ Oh! To hear that word. To hear
that word come out of her mouth. It hung in the air, like a spark, like an
echo. A mere half hour ago she had been standing in the conference room
lecturing on what constituted inappropriate language in the workplace! But he
could not deny that he had never heard that word sound so fucking sexy ever before.
A hard slap of a word and when she said it he immediately wanted nothing more
than to do it. With her. Now.</span></i></div>

is how it was that the chair of the sexual harassment committee of X Architects
found himself on all fours on the floor in front of this goddess, pants around
his knees, praying, hoping against hope that no one opened the door to his
office that he didn’t think to lock, while he humped his straining shaft
against her foot like some kind of human lap dog.</span></i></div>

though she didn’t make it easy for him, did things like swing her foot away,

knelt in front of her and braced himself. He steeled himself against the
familiar onslaught of feeling – frustration, anger, shame – that always raged
through him like a firestorm, burning through everything in its path. But
instead of the usual reactions of disappointment, pity, anger or worse, the
yawning silence, pregnant with judgments and unspoken resentment, there was
something different.</span></i></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">‘That’s
OK, sweetie,’ she said and she leaned over, put her lips right next to his ear,
so he could feel her breath on his skin. ‘Mistress has all sorts of ways of
dealing with a horny little puppy like you,’ she whispered. </span></i></div>

with,’ she said, dipping her finger in the creamy mess on her foot, ‘rubbing
your nose in it.’ She swiped her finger across the space between his nose and
his upper lip. A moustache of his own shame. The sharp, acrid odour immediately
brought a fresh jolt of humiliation. ‘You may not rub or wash that off,’ she announced.
She took his chin with her fingers, stared right into his eyes. His heart
pounded in terror. ‘You will wear your disgusting mess on your face. It will be
there for all of the rest of your meetings today.’ Oh god. ‘And when you go
home and kiss your wife.’ Oh god! ‘And when you put your head on your pillow
tonight.’ She sighed then, closed those gorgeous eyes and smiled. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘When you have your shower tomorrow morning
you may wash it off then.’ He realized then he wasn’t breathing and took in a
gasping breath. </span></i></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Pure
humiliation. Not blazing, like the white hot heat of the firestorm of his
secret torment, but rolling in slowly, like molasses, covering him, turning his
insides liquid, enveloping him in a mass of humility, shrinking him down,
making him want to place his hard, needy little cock before her in an act of
complete submission. </span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh my friends! I'm so very excited this morning to tell you that I was just sent the cover art for my new book, my first one with HarperCollins Mischief Books... and I love it! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's clean and simple and bold with clean lines, fresh colour and a slighty retro look about it. It's almost got a bit of a Mad Men feel, which is awesome since I totally had Christina Hendricks as Joan in mind when I wrote the Mistress character. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you wanna see it?? Do ya? Huh? Huh? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oh, come on! You know how I love to tease! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay. Here it is!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what do you think? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is the blurb...</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div id="outer_postBodyPS" style="height: auto; overflow: hidden; z-index: 1;">
<div id="postBodyPS" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Imagine a man. Just a regular man. An
average guy with a wife, a job, average house, average car, average sex
life… Well, not exactly. He has a secret. A secret he finds so
embarrassing that he never talks to anyone about it, he barely
acknowledges it himself. And then one day he meets her.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An
architect chairs the newly formed Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Committee. When the consultant he hires to help him organize the new
committee turns out to be a red haired bombshell, he tries to rein in
his untoward thoughts. But when she uncovers his embarrassing little
secrets, this married man ends up in a relationship that’s so wrong on
every level of his carefully put together life. All except one. How long
will he let his burning carnal desires threaten everything he’s worked
so hard for?</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a story about perspective. It’s a story about
the ephemeral nature of truth. It’s a story about what can happen when
you give your power over to someone willingly, as a gift. And how it can
change your life.</span></i></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first blog tour has almost come to an end. It's been great getting to visit other bloggers' sites and getting some extra exposure. Not the kind of exposure I usually talk about. ;) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For anyone who wanted to read posts - with me talking about everything from bad reviews to masturbation - but missed them, here is a recap of the spots I hit:</span><br />
