It’s A Major Award! #GoldenFlogger 14 comments

 It’s A Major Award! The Golden Flogger Award I am excited and thrilled to announce that Taken in Hand; my nonfiction book on domestic discipline and power exchange relationships is nominated for best Non-Fiction BDSM book of the year for 2015. The nomination is for the Golden Flogger Award, which recognizes the best BDSM books in both fiction and nonfiction. The awards ceremony will take place in New York City during the BDSM Writers Convention in August. This nomination feels wonderful, because Taken in Hand, was written to help people navigate the turbulent waters of D/s and DD relationships. I know how much communication and work any power exchange relationship involves because my wife and I live it every day. By sharing how Beauty and I do things, it is my intent to help others develop the structure that is so critical when creating and sustaining a D/s or DD […]
