Samhain Publishing's Seventh Anniversary!

In celebration of their anniversary, Samhain Publishing has commissioned a cute and sexy video on "How to download an e-book".

I laughed out loud.

News: Management Skills

Publishing My One, my very first BDSM story, was a fabulous experience. The Samhain folk are wonderful. The production was smooth and top-flight. The cover was way cool, and I got to help design it. People even buy my book! I adored my Samhain editor Deb Nemeth. She had a rare combination of courage, open-mindedness, trust and tact.

So when Deb left for another publishing house, right before My One was released, I was scared and insecure. Would I ever be able to publish BDSM again? What if my new editor didn't like my stuff? Many of Deb's authors felt orphaned. We even discussed our worries on the Samhain blog.

I'm happy to say I will be working with Deb Nemeth again at Carina Press (the new e-pub arm of Harlequin) on a "boss" BDSM story. The title of the novella is Management Skills.

News

Yay! I just finished off a manuscript today. I'm one of the slowest writers on earth. But I'm a super fast dandelion puller, which is the other thing I did today. This latest story is a contemporary M/f BDSM erotic novella, like My One. The working title is Management Skill.

In a somewhat related note, Tymber Dalton has released a non-fiction book called "Whip Me, Beat Me, Make Me Write Hot Sex: A writer's guide to BDSM basics". It's available on the Amazon Kindle. Though I don't always like the themes Tymber embraces in her BDSM fiction, she is a pioneer in the genre.

My One Release!

My One was released on Tuesday by Samhain Publishing! Isn't the cover spectacular? For an excerpt, look here.

And in other news: I was interviewed over at I Do Not Want to Wait, I Want the Book Now. I had a blast!

Here's the blurb for My One:

Love knows no limits…

Briony considers herself easy to please. All she wants is a Dominant who’s wickedly creative and completely devoted to conquering her—and only her—with joy. She has everything she wants until her Dom takes on another girl. Bri delights in fantasy role play, inventive toys and bondage at Hell Mary’s BDSM club, but she doesn’t do poly.

Now she’s on the hunt for a new play partner who’ll give her exactly what she needs. A little flirtation with Hell Mary’s Dungeon Monitor is just the thing to ease her back into circulation—except the hardass wrapped in khaki treats her like she needs protection.

Behind his imperturbable DM mask, Chris has eyes only for Bri. It’s his job to make sure things don’t get out of control at the club. Despite her bravado, Bri’s broken heart is like a target painted on her back. She needs to learn some things on her own, but when a private scene goes too far, he can’t wait any longer to step in—and show her she doesn’t need fancy trappings.

His body is more than enough.

Warning: this title features kink and imaginative sex in a variety of forms—scalding hot, kinda lukewarm, and juuuust right. Reminders to breathe are clearly marked. Ignore them at your peril.
