Best Bondage Erotica 2013

I adore this cover because the model looks so happy. The look in her eyes says that bondage is fun and sexy and she’s having a grand time wrapped in rope. *

And I’m proud to announce that behind the lovely cover of Best Bondage Erotica 2013, which will be available November 10, you’ll find my story “The Great Outdoors,” a sweet and sexy tale of improvisational bondage with a great view, and the reasons why it’s sometimes good to lose a bet. This is my third appearance in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Best Bondage Erotica series, and I’m tickled pink. Actually I haven’t been tickled at all tonight, which, in the general course of things, is fine with me. But this book, and the edits on Knowing the Ropes, (which I’ve just sent back to my editor) have gotten me all aquiver, so if someone special were to tie me down and tickle me, I would turn pink and giggly and maybe, just maybe, get aroused.

As I said,the book won’t be available until next month, but you can pre-order it as a paperback or ebook at Amazon or Barnes and Noble, or find a local indie bookstore that will carry or order it if you prefer.

I can’t wait for my author copies to arrive. I’m looking forward to reading aloud with my husband! So many wonderful writers whose work I love, and a few who are new to me.

*Bondage newbies, please note the rope around the neck is extremely loose; it’s there for decoration and a sensual feel, not constriction or weight-bearing. My readers are sensible people anyway and aren’t going to tie a rope tightly around someone’s neck–are you? Didn’t think so. And if you do get off on erotic asphyxiation, try to find a spotter–maybe a voyeuristic EMT**. I don’t want to lose any of my beloved readers to a bondage accident.

** Which reminds me a bit of “Seeing Stars” in Shanna Germain’s collection The Lure of Dangerous Women, except I was making a silly aside and she wove a gorgeous, thought-provoking, and yes, erotic story using a serious take on this theme. Wow.
