Authors and publishers are under threat again. The current-crack down unfairly targets the erotic fiction maket whilst ignoring crime, horror, literature drama, and non-fiction.

My writing is not intended to promote or condone rape, abuse (beit sexual, physical or mental) of any person, or any illegal act. The things I write about are fictitious scenarios that harm nobody.

Nimue Brown blogged on this topic. Read her whol post here: http://blogspot.loveyoudivineinfo.com/2012/02/its-obscene-paypal-erotica-and-censorship/

So here we are, people, with a crack-down on online obscenity. By obscenity, we mean anything assumed to be for sexual titillation that somebody official finds objectionable. Both the ‘sexual titillation’ aspect and the ‘objectionable’ are totally subjective. You can bet they won’t be cracking down on literature, drama, crime or horror fiction.

Now, no matter how extreme the content, fiction, by definition, is not real. No one really does any of the things in the book. No one bleeds, or dies. So assuming an offence exists, we’d be talking about a victimless crime, and a thought crime at that. If you are offended by the construction of victimless crimes and thought crimes, about freedom of speech, and about who has the right to determine who can find what sexual, you need to start paying attention to what’s happening. This is also a situation in which hypocrisy is fine, and a suggestion of honesty isn’t. If you can pretend that the book is instructional, or memoire, or literature or crime… then you can write all the graphic rape scenes you want. No one is gunning for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, despite the graphic violence and anal rape. But it’s a crime novel, so we all know that no one reading it would get off on that kind of content, don’t we? Right.

There are real people out there being raped, really raped. Those in authority would rather use their time chasing people who write about it.

There are children being abused. Apparently it’s a better use of money to chase book distributors whose content might be a bit dark.

Victims of domestic abuse are beaten every day, but for some people, the things you imagine are in far more urgent need of policing.

While real victims are suffering the consequences of real crimes, it is not just ridiculous to spend time and money chasing authors and publishers, it’s obscene. It’s criminal.

She’s just looking for a one-night stand”

Eve Pritchard enjoys her fuck nights The one occasion each week when she treats herself to the pleasures of the flesh and indulges in five star luxury all the way.

She has just one rule, never to fuck the same person twice. Once keeps the liaison impersonal. Twice borders on an affair or, horror of horrors, a budding relationship. Besides which, a high powered career that includes a full social calendar, leaves Eve with little opportunity to build the sort of relationship that will stand the test of time. But fate may have other ideas…

New Release!

New from Torquere Press!

 

 Capricorn – Having It All and More by Dalia Craig.

 

 

The final release in the Sapphic Signs series.

 

Two women. A strong physical attraction. One set of antique jewelry. 

Who will come out the winner?

 

Two very different women brought together by one set of jewelry

Josslyn Harper and Paige Railton bid against each other for the same antique jewelry ensemble at a New York auction. Each has her own pressing reason for wanting to win the bidding war. With neither woman prepared to give way to the other, the bids rocket to almost two million dollars, forcing Josslyn to admit defeat.

A triumphant Paige is delighted with her purchase, despite its high price. However, she hasn’t bargained on encountering a major obstacle in the shape of a very determined Josslyn Harper.

Josslyn vows to fight Paige to get the family heirloom back but she hasn’t reckoned with Paige’s tenacity.

Over time, Paige and Josslyn find themselves growing closer and soon discover they have a lot in common when the power of love overtakes their battle for ownership of the jewels.

 Excerpt:

Paige placed her first bid at one million and thereafter Josslyn threw all caution to the wind, matching each bid with a steely determination to win the bidding war. By one point four million, just the two of them remained, with the bids now advancing by one hundred thousand dollars each time.

Where is this going to end?

Josslyn hesitated when it came to her turn, almost choking on the tension. Could she really afford one and a half million to own the collection? No contest. She nodded, then watched Paige signal her next bid. They exchanged two more bids then, sickened, Joss called a halt. There was no way she could find one point nine million without a total realignment of her assets. She had ample funds, but most of it tied up in the company or in long-term bonds; she had nothing of that magnitude realizable at short notice. A momentary stab of despair brought her close to tears. She regretted not being better prepared, but who would have reckoned on Ms. Railton pushing the price up to…

“All done?”

The auctioneer fixed his gaze upon Joss, giving her an extra moment to reflect before his gavel fell with a loud bang. The sound wounded Joss like a bullet through her heart.

“Sold to Ms. Railton for one point eight million dollars.” The room erupted in applause and a buzz of excited chatter.

Gone! The jewels are gone!     Read more

Night Games, the second story in the Mistress of Seduction series, is now available from loveyoudivine Alterotica and all the usual outlets.

Lesbian Erotica, BDSM, D/s. Price: $2.00. Formats: html, epub, kindle, lit, lrf, pdf, prc, & rb.

The stories follow the lives of Bryana Austin and Cassie Stuart, starting six months after Taming Bryana finished.

When Cassie Stuart rescued Bryana Austin after Bryana’s car ran out of road in the wilds of Scotland little did either woman know what the future held. They threw caution to the wind and embarked on a night of wild sexual play in Cassie’s fully equipped dungeon then went their separate ways never expecting to meet again.
Now, six months later, Cassie has tracked Bryana down to her new apartment in London and the two women find themselves drawn together by their sexual need.

 

Book 2 Night Games

Blurb: Danger lurks in the dark recesses of Out Of Bounds. Will Cassie be able to save Bryana from harm?

Following their reunion Bryana and Cassie begin to explore the sexual boundaries of their relationship with a visit to Out Of Bounds, a private BDSM club. However, the visit gets out of hand when Bryana and Cassie encounter enemies with scores to settle.

 

 

Excerpt:

“Strip for me!”

Bryana’s reaction completely threw me. Indecision writ large on her face, she shifted her feet uneasily, as if poised for instant flight. How could anybody change so much in so short a time? She was a totally different person now from the hot, sexy, woman who’d practically let me fuck her in a public elevator less than an hour ago. Or, for that matter, the one who’d climaxed so readily with just the pressure of my hand against her silk covered sex earlier today. Now she appeared awkward, hesitant, or even downright  reluctant to do as I asked.

Although Bryana had been perfectly frank concerning her level of experience specifically regarding the D/s scene, based on our previous encounter, I’d expected her to show a modicum of understanding when asked to do something. To be honest, though, I hadn’t really taken her claim to know damn all about D/s relationships at face value. She wasn’t stupid; I was certain she knew the basic rules of the game. More likely, she was simply being modest or covering herself in advance for any slips. Anyway, I scoffed, this wasn’t rocket science; she didn’t need any knowledge of D/s protocol to perform a sexy strip for her lover; something like that should come as second nature.

I reclined on the bed, naked, contemplating the young femme standing before me, whilst I hastily revised my view of her experience and therefore the direction that this evening might take from here.

My gaze raked Bryana from head to toe. God, she was a beautiful creature. So elegant too. That understated black two-piece clothed her gorgeous body so perfectly it might have been designed especially for her—well, when one considered her career and the top designers with whom she associated, in all probability it had been. Black suited her; it enhanced the creamy perfection of her skin, and brought out the golden highlights in her hair. I couldn’t get enough of her but that didn’t mean I was prepared to go soft and allow her to call the tune. If we were ever to have a future together, she had to learn obedience, learn how to behave and comply with whatever I requested.

Bryana shook her head, seemingly lost for words.

Now we’d come so far, I wasn’t prepared to back down, it wouldn’t serve any purpose except to confuse the issue. She must show good faith, place her trust in me and pass this first simple test before we could move forward onto the more serious stuff.

“I want to see a proper striptease, the full works; show me what you can do.” My mouth dried, and anticipation set my heart pounding as I silently willed her to obey me.

Yet with Bryana’s apparent awkwardness and uncertainty, one could almost be forgiven for thinking that this was her first time and she had no idea how to strip for the pleasure of displaying her body.

Could it be?

Read more…

Follow Bryana and Cassie as they try to stop their relationship falling apart in the wake of this traumatic event.

Bryana’s assignment in Amsterdam offers Cassie a chance to resolve some of the issues until fate intervenes again. Can Cassie find a way to save the situation or is this the end of the line for her and Bryana?

Meeting of Minds is coming soon.
