Kissing Velvet, my hot collection of erotic stories featuring submissive females is published by Chimera.
 

Erotic pleasure can transform us

According to the publicity material on the back cover, 'Kissing Velvet' is a new collection of 17 stories of ..."sensual and seductive tales celebrating the delights of female submission."

'Kissing Velvet' is, however, far more than this. The stories take place in the real world in which people commute to work, hold down jobs, get depressed, and go out socializing with friends. It is erotic fiction rather than an author's sexual fantasies. Because of this, the stories are arousing even for the reader who is not moved by fantasies of female submission; the stories are adult fiction rather than adolescent fantasy.

Since the stories are fiction rather that fantasy, reading them can change and transform. The stories show us doors which we hadn't realized were there. Shall we open one? The rewards are great: As one of the characters says:

"We all have an alter ego. The watcher is part of me, but he isn't all of me. Erotic pleasure can transform us." The risks of new explorations are also highlighted: There is a darker side to many of the stories, in which the reader is teased with the possibility that the sexual games and challenges will slip over into violence.

Whilst all of the 17 short stories are independent, they complement each other in such a way as to form a coherent whole. Like a laser beam of coherent light, the clarity of the writing illuminates the erotic scenes and leaves us with many memorable images. In brief, these 17 stories are erotic stories for the thinking person; more please!

I love to write but my real passion is dancing because it makes me feel alive and free and sexy. I took up pole dancing 4 years ago, and I teach and occasionally perform in public. My good friend Glamourpuss has pole danced with me and you can read about her adventures.
