Just Because

I don’t normally try to push people into doing something they weren’t inclined to do, but today my heart hurts. It hurts and there is that sick feeling that I felt when Hurricane Katrina spent her wrath on New Orleans. Here I sit, comfortable in my home, on my couch, enjoying running water, air conditioning, a roof over my head, dinner on the stove, my loved ones and pets safe. It’s all good on this end. The crap that aggravated me today at work seems incredibly trivial. I have a house. I still have the pictures I hold dear, I still have clothes, I still have boxes full of mementos, I still have the pictures of me and my best friend when we were five and the plaster hand print I made that same year. The people on the television have none of that. Zip nada none, less than none […]


What Are You Waiting For?

The second book in the Beneath The Shadows of Evil receives 5 star reviews! 5.0 out of 5 stars Beneath the Shadows of Evil ~ Torn, April 29, 2013 By Jane Jones (NC) – See all my reviews This review is from: Beneath The Shadows of Evil… Torn: A Paranormal Romance (Kindle Edition) The first book of the series left me wanting to read the second one as soon as possible and now that I have read the second one, I can hardly wait for the third one in the Beneath the Shadows of Evil series. Torn is even better than Taken as a second gypsy enters the story. Expecting a child that is developing too quickly makes Alliana uneasy and emotional in addition to being sure she will never trust Mikhal. The story takes many twists and turns as the evil layers of the castle’s characters work to gain power and our […]


An Often Asked Question – How Would You Punish? 2 comments

This post has been removed. It is now contained in the book you see above which will be available on Amazon December 2nd, 2013. I apologize for any inconvenience, but I have chosen to combine some of my posts into a book on Domestic discipline. Blurb from Taken in Hand Jolynn Raymond has written a book that shares the details of her own long lasting domestic discipline marriage and her experience surrounding power exchange relationships. It explains why these unconventional relationships work so well for so many couples. The book is an in-depth tutorial that takes the relationship past the simple act of discipline, to building a rock solid foundation that will ultimately create a deep bond of trust and love between those involved. Taken In Hand will guide those interested in adding consensual domestic discipline, dominance and submission, and structure to their own relationship through the initial steps of communication, […]


A Trilogy of Paranormal Evil 2 comments

The Beneath The Shadows of Evil Trilogy… Taken, Torn, and Treasured In the blink of an eye her world was turned upside down. Master Vampire Mikhal the Merciless captured a young Gypsy one night when she trespassed on his land. He heartlessly stole Alliana from her family; taking her freedom, and forcing her to become his wife. Knowing she held magic inside, Mikhal made plans to use Alliana to give him a powerful son. Once he had what he wanted, Mikhal had every intention of casting Alliana aside. His kind held no feelings of love and compassion, but that was before the consequences of magic opened his eyes. Pregnant and alone in the castle of her evil husband, Alliana is lost. It seems as though everyone around her wants to hurt her, especially the man she was forced to marry. He is cruel and twisted; as are all who reside in his castle, but after doing the very worst, he suddenly […]


Plan of Action 3 comments

Those of you who read my post from yesterday are already up to date with my trials and tribulations, those who didn’t ought to read it before this one. Yesterday I was mopey. Could be menopause, could be work stress. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that writing down and sharing my issues has had a positive effect. 1. We are all human, yes, dominants too. Those of us who wield the power and make the decisions work hard in power exchange relationships. We are prone to mistakes and doubts just like anyone else. No one can have the strength and confidence it takes to be a good Mistress or Master 24/7/365. 2. As I always preach to you, communication is vital. Beauty and I somehow slipped away from our sit down talks every Saturday evening. This is a time to talk without boundaries or roles. Person to person, wife […]


What The Hell Happened Here?

If you look at my Fetlife profile it will say I live the lifestyle 24/7. 24/7 means different things to different people depending on the type of relationship they are in, but I think most of us have a healthy does of vanilla or the real world invading on our 24/7. What I mean is, the every day stressors of life such as work, family, and kids makes it necessary to step outside our kink zone whether we like it or not, and for me the stepping outside has made it hard to step back in where I belong. I live within the contexts of a kinky relationship. I make all the decisions, my wife defers to me in all things. Most of my social interactions are with our kinky friends. Our home is equipped with a dungeon, much of our travel is to kink events, the fetlife page is […]

Mixed Emotions 2 comments

I put the finishing touches on the final installment in the Beneath The Shadows of Evil Trilogy… Treasured today. It’s ready to be sent off to the editor for her to go over. Being done all the way done on a novel and saying goodbye to writing it is like packing off one of my babies. I’ve spent a lot of time in Medieval Hungary and am going to miss my visits there. Creating such a long detailed story is thrilling, exciting, and sometimes frustrating as hell, but saying “The End” still causes mixed emotions.
