Cover Reveal — Safeword: Quinacridone

I am uber-excited about sharing Travis and Cara’s story. I don’t have a release date yet, or an official blurb, but I have a cover!!! Travis is a computer geek, Cara’s an artist. The couple explore objectification, which may not sound too extreme at first glance, but I’ve seen couples take it much farther than I’d want to go. These two keep it mostly sane, but the temptation is there, to see how far they can travel down the rabbit hole. If you’ve read my earlier books, you’ll note two major differences in this one. My previous works dealt with experienced players, but Cara will learn about world of BDSM from Travis. More substantially, Cara is not a submissive, and there’s very little D/s — only what’s needed in a scene to integrate the objectification scenarios Travis builds. Here’s the warning you’ll eventually see below the blurb. If watersports are a major squick for you, don’t let it scare you too bad, as it’s only in one scene, and is addressed as more curiosity than kink. Warning: This title contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, extreme objectification, bondage, watersports, chemical play, fisting, temporary body modification with saline injections, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, paddles, whips, floggers, and zip-ties. In a nutshell, there’s a decent amount of S&M — more than most books, but not to the levels in my previous works. We see very little D/s between our couple, though we see a good bit from secondary characters. I’ll repost this short teaser excerpt, as I think it gives a good introduction to Travis and Cara. “Do you remember when I told you to say yellow if you needed me to realize you couldn’t breathe, or wanted me to understand something wasn’t working for you?” She looked […]

Black Friday Blog Hop

Welcome to the Black Friday Blog Hop! Are you all shopped out? Have you already checked everyone off your list? Or maybe you refuse to shop until the final weekend before Christmas, just to make sure you’re properly frazzled come Christmas Day? No matter why you’re here, I’m glad you are, and I’m giving away your choice of Safeword: Matte, or either of the two Davenport books. Or, If you’ve read all of my books and are looking forward to Safeword: Quinacridone when it’s finally available, I’ll send it once I have the final version. Check back here next week, as I hope to be able to reveal the cover and blurb for Safeword: Quinacridone in the very near future. (And see below, for a quick excerpt.)    There are three ways to enter to win your choice of the four books. Do all three and you’ll be entered three times, or do one and you’re entered once: Follow me on Facebook and let me know about it (email, comment, or FB message) Follow me on Twitter and let me know about it (email, comment, or Twitter me) Comment below. If you’re already following me on Facebook or Twitter let me know who you are, and I’ll count it. I feel I should warn these aren’t beginner BDSM books.

A long overdue update

I’ve been in my writing cave for what seems like forever. When I finished the last Davenport book I thought my next book was mostly written, and I was certain it wouldn’t take long to finish. I wrote Safeword: Quinacridone last year, but it needed a little something extra, so I set it aside to write something else, hoping some distance would help me see what it needed. However, I’ve rewritten much of the story, and the word count is now more than twice what it was when I “finished” it last year. Travis is a computer geek, Cara’s an artist. I adore both, and wanted to do right by them. Travis and Cara explore objectification, which may not sound too extreme at first glance, but I’ve seen couples take it much farther than I’d want to go. I’m good with a little dehumanization for an hour or two, but then I’m ready to come out of the scene and be myself again. Cara mostly agrees with me, but the idea of longer term objectification appeals to her, so this journey is, in part, finding a balance that allows the couple to fully explore their kink without losing any of Cara’s personality. Travis loves her, adores her, and worries where they’ll end up in a few decades as they each play off of the other’s kinks. First, there’s some baggage both must deal with. Most of my female leads are experienced in the world of BDSM, but Cara isn’t. She’s brand new, and has to come to terms with labeling her kinks before she can feel comfortable in a relationship with the person who first named them. I’m excited about this book, and can’t wait until it’s finally ready for release. I should have a cover to share in the […]
