#mywritingprocess blog tour


First I want to thank the incredible author Christie St. Claire for inviting me to participate in this blog tour.

Her blog can be found at

and I highly recommend all of her works!!!

Now, on to the questions!

1.  What am I working on?


Currently I am finishing up the last edits for "Hell Week Humiliation and other Femdom Stories".  This is a compilation of several stories  that will also include the seperate ebook "Route 66".  that I am releasing seperately.  I have had a great deal of fun over the past few months going back and re-writing stories I wrote over 20 years ago and republishing them into ebook format.  Re-writing Route 66 I realized that I originally wrote story that story way  back in 1996!  My how times have changed since the old alt.sex.stories days and I had to update a lot of the technological references (iphones vs. camcorders for example)!

Next up after that will be a story that will be departure from my normal themes, and I am really looking forward to getting started.  I have had an idea for a Femdomish Supernatural Ghost Story floating around in my head for a while now, and I hope when I finally write it it is equal parts erotic and terrifying.  I don't have a finished title yet, but I have a basic idea of the story and the working title is "The Unrequited".  I know it will be blast to write as I love both femdom stories and horror novels, so it will be a nice mix.

After that project I really am looking forward to continuing on the "Aphrodite's Curse" series as there are many many more books to come.

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

I wince at this question as I really do not like to criticize any one else's work or fetish.  Whatever floats your boat is fine with me as long as it does not hurt anyone else but.... If I were to say one thing that distinguishes my little pervy literary corner from the rest of this crowded femdom field is that I tend to write  more "nice" femdom.  It is not because I think "non-nice" femdom is not well written, it certainly is, but it is not my particular fetish.  I have always written primarily for myself first, and then hope others like what I write.

In the femdom/cfnm genre there tends to be quite a bit overtly cruel behavior written about that does not turn me on in the slightest.  I am certainly not saying that others do not nor should not like it, but for me, I don't. I like my whip applied with a smile and a laugh and castration, transgender, sph, cuckolding and sissification stories are not my thing.  

So in short, if you are looking for stories where the men get killed or permamently maimed, have their privates lopped off, watch their girlfriends get gang banged by other guys or have to wear diapers and/or dress as a woman, my books are probably not for you.  If you are looking for stories with teasing and denial, stripping games, light femdom applied with a sense of humor (and usually by very curvy women) than look no further, you have found your home!

3.  Why do I write what I do?

Primarily I will get inspired by something that aches to have a story attached or completed, either an image I saw (thank God for Tumblr) or some movie I either saw recently or remembered (Thank you Russ Meyer!!!) .  Often I will see something and wonder "Now, just how did that lucky guy get into that situation where he is tied down by those lovely leather clad ladies?  There must be a delicious backstory there!  I like the backstory as much as the payoff.

  I know that when writing Aphrodite's Curse I delved down deep into lots of things I always loved either growing up or now.  I always had a soft spot in my heart for those old cheesy 1960s Italian "Sword and Sorcery" movies growing up and they have been a huge inspiration in lots of my work.  All those curvy large breasted beauties walking around in togas got me going at the age of 9 just as much as they do now at the age of (ahem) 48!  

Well, having a love of history, and Greek Mythology, I just started thinking about how they could all come together and oila, Aphrodite's Curse was born.

In fact, one of the earliest pieces of literature I remember getting turned on by (other than Vampirella Comics) was The Odyssey and the scene where Odesseus is washed up naked on the beach and is discovered by the Princess and her entourage.  That and the super sexy Circe enslaving him for years on her island had this idea percolating in my head for decades.

In general, I write the story I want to read.

4.  How does my writing process work?

For short stories it is pretty simple; I have a few characters sketched out and a general idea of what the "punchline" is going to be and I then just sit down and organically let it flow.  For longer stories I get a little more organized but in general I tend to not know exactly how things are going to turn out when I sit down to write.  I much prefer the experience to just evolve naturally.  I have a general destination in mind, but the road takes lots of twists and turns on the journey

  That to me is part of the fun of writing.  I always have a general idea, but in the telling of a story, sometimes certain characters get fleshed out in such a way you want to write more about them and not in the way you originally intended.

Again, to use Aphrodite's Curse as and example, originally the Goddess Euphrosyne was a very minor character in my original conception of the story, but I fell so much in love with her, she ended up turning into a major part of the plot.  Simliarly with the latest work I am finishing up "Route 66", the plot sort of evolved as I wrote it, and I think now that I am almost finished I might have to turn it not a series as I am not quite ready to have the girls drive off into the sunset forever.  I bet they have a few good adventures left in them yet.

I tend to do most of my writing on my Ipad, sitting in my favorite chair watching old crappy Z movies (Z not B) on youtube very early in the morning and alwayd do my best writing before 7 AM.
