Saturdays Have Just Become Better!

In an effort to continue providing knowledgable information to those who are interested in BDSM or just a bit of kinky sex, I will be starting to have a topic of the week post on Saturdays. I hope to generate some discussion, but my main goal will be to educate. There is so much misinformation in porn, on so called BDSM websites, and in some of the popular books out there now days and it really bothers me that most never touch on safety, communication, learning, aftercare, and much of the other stuff you need to know if you are curious or just starting out. Hell, I’m still learning techniques after 10+ years. I will post on topics such as: Power Exchange Relationships, the different kinds of submission, submissive vs slave, Master, Mistress, Daddy, Dom, Domme, who the heck is who and what do they mean?, safety and a properly stocked first aid kit, aftercare, red flags, […]

Are You Curious?

Have you ever wondered just how I came to be involved in writing kinky historical fiction and erotic BDSM? Well the answer to that question and more can be found in my author interview on BDSM Book Reviews. The interview gives some insight into how I came to write the genre I do and what my BDSM lifestyle is like. So if you are curious to learn a few things about me, click away.

We Are Ethical 2 comments

We Are Ethical If you came for the books and are disturbed by BDSM, by all means, skip this post! I thought a bit about this blog post before deciding to go ahead and do it. It’s not that I am ashamed in any way shape or form about my sexuality and kinky lifestyle, it’s because as a rule, I don’t think it’s okay to shove BDSM down the throat of those who would feel offended by it. That said, my involvement in BDSM isn’t exactly hidden on here, so I decided to choose the road that might lead to a better understanding of who we are. That popular book, you know the one, has a lot of misconceptions. For one, there isn’t a huge percentage of us who come from dark or abusive backgrounds or have hidden traumas, at least not more than the regular population. We aren’t immoral, […]


We Have A Winner

I’ve received the names of the winners for the Goodreads giveaway of Elizabeth’s Destiny. Conrats!! I’m sending them out to you this week. Now if you’re sitting there all frowny because you didn’t know about the chance to win a free book, then get busy and follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or here. That way you won’t miss the good stuff.


Dream On

Today is a day for dreams. Dr. King had one, and it helped change America, and so today I will remember his and think about my own. Everybody has a dream, some, like Dr. King’s, are lofty and for the good of mankind, some are selfish, some are impossible but are important none the less because they give hope, and some are what drive us day in and day out in our ordinary, regular, often dull lives. People often have several dreams and their dreams may change over time, but even if ones we once held dear fade, that doesn’t take away their importance. The dreams and aspirations I had as a child are vastly different than the ones I have now, but I can say that one dream has been pretty damn persistent over the years, and that is my dream of being a writer. I don’t mean just […]


The Next Big Thing

The Next Big Thing The wonderful Sotia Lazu tagged me in this “freeze-tag style blog hop that’s going around Authorville.” Basically, if you get tagged, fill out the questions on your own blog about your upcoming writing project, then tag five additional authors, linking to their blogs or websites. Don’t forget to let them know they were tagged. THE TEN QUESTIONS: 1. What is the working title of your book? Beneath the Shadows of Evil 2. Where did the idea come from for the book? I honestly don’t remember. I love an evil and dark anti-hero, and a soulless vampire in a time when the world was a dark place fit the bill.  3. What genre does your book fall under? Paranormal Historical Romance 4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?   I honestly have no idea. I don’t really pay attention to the whole entertainment crowd […]


We Have a BDSM Question ABout Me!

We Have a BDSM Question ABout Me! Well my wife seems to think people might want to know the how and why of my decision to take on the role of a Mistress in the BDSM lifestyle. I think perhaps that is something better written about in the Ask Jolynn section of this blog. Those who wanted to know can find out all about it by clicking on the link for Ask Jolynn. Hum… this morning I guess it will be coffee and the story of allowing my dark side to run free.
