Anyone that's ever put their creative works out there has likely gotten feedback.  For some reason in our culture its deemed necessary to tell an artist, writer or musician the goods, the bads, and the uglies about their work.

For the most part I love the hell outta it.  I live for the days that I get simple messages like "love your books" and "Short, steamy, awesome!" But, honestly, I also love the days where I get "too short for my tastes" or "too much sex" (yup there is such a thing! haha.)  Lemme know what you like so I can tweak my methods!

So on days when I get a "Starred-favorite" memo from Smashwords I spend the rest of it fantasizing about what made me a favorite?  Did they like the over the top sex-scene to sex-scene continual action of my Cheerleader books or were they driven to that Favorite-marker by the softer more story driven pieces like My New Husband?  Is it my desire to provide quality when there's so much barely re-read, unedited junk out there?  Is it my 40 titles of a wide-variety?  

Must admit that I am not 100% about the art.  I want to and do consider you guys, and challenge myself with "what's popular" (Like the babysitter and cheerleader eroticas).  I have even pushed myself through some Taboo-kinks at request from my readers.  But I always feel like my best are my favorites.  The ones that spend hours in my head begging to get out on the screen.

So what do I fantasize about?  Fantasy, BDSM, Rape, being taken care of, being controlled, and a bit of the princess stuff.  I love it when my daddy takes care of me, demands things of me, plays with me. So often its in ways that I don't even see myself, and that I think continually comes out of my pen.  

Micah and Alysson in my Deep Series, they play probably two of the darkest and deepest parts of my world out.  Their story is the one that I told myself for years as  I was trying to sleep.    

The other one is my Penance Series.  Charlie and Meredith are a regular Jane and John Doe couple, its only when pushed to the brink of divorce that they delve into something deep and dark between them.  

Why do I have a love for the kink?  My husband and I started dabbling in kinkier stuff after about 4 years of being together, we'd seen enough in porn that we were both willing to try it.  But even after almost 13 years together he can still stir something so carnal within me the second he grabs me by the nape of the neck and growls.  Fantasy come to life.  Maybe that's why.  Maybe that's why I'll re-read and add more story, re-read and add more sex to those kinkier pieces.  Those pieces that link me to my darker more brazen self.  

Maybe that's why people want to favorite me - I can link them to that particular dark part of themselves.  At least I hope I do.  

I've been thinking student-professor for some time now, trying to decide what it is I find sexy about this "semi-taboo" subject, is it the short pleated skirts and pigtails? The sweet innocent school girl being drilled by an older and more experienced male?

Perhaps its the domineering, dare I say abusive, pencil-skirt-wearing, hair-in-a-tight-knot, breasts-barely- concealed professor?

When I decided to do this sweet release series I wanted to fully explore what it was that I thought made student-professor relationships hot, and I quickly discovered a lot more than I had originally thought.

Suddenly the idea of a yardstick slapping against a naked backside sprang to mind, sprawling all over your professor's desk, the idea of being caught, and of course what series would be complete without the big yellow bus?

Sometimes the exploration of a certain "kink" will broaden your mind and help you discover that it should have been in your heart all along. 

I knew delving into this series that it was a hot topic, and having touched on it with my Cheer Squad, I felt like I was beginning to know why.  It wasn't until researching and really immersing myself into the genre that it became one of my favorites though.  

Sure, I own my share of "school girl" clothes - I did my hair in the little pigtails on occasion to "inspire" my lover.  But now.... Now I get it.  Sure its about the innocence, the taboo, the "danger" of being caught, but to me its really about lust.  The overwhelming desire that drags you away from what is considered "appropriate" and into a relationship that however fleeting likely impacts the characters forever.    

You may or may not have noticed that Penance: Seclusion came out this week.  When my lover read this one he said, "Wow, that was some of your best writing yet!" 

And in confession, is it is an elaborate fantasy of mine in story format.

Bondage takes place in so many ways, it isn't all leather, ball gags, and whips.  My goal with this series is to explore that.  To bring to light my deepest fantasy in e-print, and hopefully bring in some true and heartfelt aspects of BDSM.  

I hope it connects to all of my readers, whether big fans of BDSM or not.
