I started out as a fetish artist for C.F. Publications years ago and before long I began to write for them as well. Hundreds of short stories later I decided to give books a try; now I'm now an author with five novels under my belt. My favorite genres in which to create are those involving power exchange relationships so you'll see a lot of that here.
I know things have been quieter here over the summer. I’ve only posted a couple of educational articles, because I have been swamped in deadlines. And it was a busy summer!
Let me catch you up on what’s going on with me and what’s next on the agenda.
For those of you who are kinky and have gone to Ren Faires, you know that they are excellent places to let your kinky side show a tiny bit. Obviously, we’re not talking full-fledged exposure or anything, but when it comes to your clothing choices… well, leather is encouraged.
Collars, cuffs, and even the occasional flogger hanging from your belt are not out of place there. And as if to encourage the kinky crowd, you’ll find that many Ren Faires have stocks set up, not just for display, but to be used. Most people get in them for fun photos. “Oh, Look. I’m in the stocks for being bad! Hahaha”
Just a quick author announcement. My next book Bride of the Daddy (Action Daddy Book Five) is up for pre-order now and will be releasing on August 19th.
While my blog here is a labor of love, my books are how I pay the bills. So, if you enjoy kinky romance with lots of detail, plot, character development, and graphic scenes of kink and sex, then you might enjoy my books.
The Action Daddy series is a DDlg romance with authentic emotions and realistic relationship development.
Graphic contains pictures of all five Action Daddy books. These covers are meant to look like movie posters. Each one shows a sexy older man in the front and in back there is a shadowed action scene from his movie on one side and a picture of romance on the other side.
Saving the world. Gunfights at high noon. Battling alien monsters. It’s all in a day’s work for Daddy Dom Mitch James.
As an A-list action star, he’s been chasing the Hollywood dream for more than half his life. He has two Oscars on his shelf and more movie roles than he can count tucked under his belt.
None of it matters without his babygirl and fiancé, Olivia, and now he’s going to make it official.
It has all led to this.
With patience, understanding, and a little necessary discipline, it seems like Olivia’s worries have finally been laid to rest. Plans for the Hollywood wedding of the season are well under way… until a last-minute disaster throws the entire production into danger.
Now, with Olivia on the verge of panicking, he’s starting to worry he might have a runaway bride situation on his hands, if they don’t figure things out quickly.
Join Mitch and Olivia for the thrilling conclusion of the Action Daddy Franchise and find out if it will end in happily ever after… or heartbreak.
Last week we talked about basic skills that can help you learn to say no to people in your life. These are the basic tools that you can use anywhere, in any situation, and are just, in general, really good things to practice.
Today we’re going to focus more specifically on the BDSM side of things, but keep in mind that the skills in Part One can still be helpful in kink situations because they are easily adaptable. This part is just more BDSM centered and is going to be more nuanced.
I’ve always said that BDSM can help your life if you are engaged in healthy dynamics, and this is another aspect of that. It might sound counterintuitive, but your submissive inclinations can be used to keep you from spreading yourself too thin.
Part Two— Letting your submissive side help.
We’re going to talk about some different mindsets that might help you focus on your decisions, so you’re not obeying on autopilot. The goal is for you to make the choice to submit, and I’m going to be honest, submission feels more satisfying when you choose to do it.
(Note: I had intended for this to be one piece, but it’s a difficult issue and it’s gone much longer than I had planned. So I’m breaking it in half and Part One and Part Two will be posted in consecutive weeks.)
Saying no is an important part of setting personal boundaries, and as we all know, boundaries and limits are essential for a healthy life, and not just in the Scene. It’s a skill that you will need in all aspects of your life.
But many of us with submissive personalities have trouble with this. It runs contrary to our basic nature. While it’s natural for most people to decline things they don’t want to do… for submissives it’s a whole different level of difficulty.
