Interview with Tori Carson – Bondage Anniversary
I’m so excited to welcome Tori Carson to the blog today. When I heard the word “bondage” I knew I had to have her over – my favorite aspect of BDSM! And Tori is writing a BDSM series – starting with her new release, Bondage Anniversary. So without further delay… let’s get to know Tori.
Hey Tori! What was the inspiration behind this book?
After noticing the plethora of articles describing the influence of Fifty Shades of Grey on divorce rates, birth rates and so on, I started thinking…what would happen if a man inadvertently discovered his wife’s secret interest in BDSM?
Which character spoke to you the most while you were writing this book or which was you favorite?
Nick was definitely my favorite character. He had such patience and love for Laura, it was very touching.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
While in high school, I started writing as something to do when bored. I would go through notebook after notebook and all my friends would read them, pretending to study notes for a test. Fun times!
Tell us about your favorite atmosphere for writing.
Most days, I’ll hang out in the great room with my son’s dog using my feet as a pillow. I don’t mind, he’s a great foot warmer. I-Heart radio will be rocking my favorite tunes and I’ll have diet Pepsi by my side.
Tell us about your “discipline” for writing. Are you consistent – writing at the same time every day or do you write in spurts and stops? How do you balance writing with the rest of your life?
It’s a rare day when I don’t write. Unless something unusual is happening in my life, I spend ten to twelve hours writing. The rest of the day is spent being a wife and a mom.
Do you have a project in the works that you’d like to tell us about?
Bondage Anniversary is the first in the Desired Discipline series. So far, three books are slated for release and I’m hoping all six will be available in 2014. Bondage Celebration will be available on Valentine’s Day and Bondage Wedding comes out March 21st.
What do you do when you’re not writing?
Once I’ve completed the Desired Discipline series, I have a few stained glass projects I’m looking forward to.
Oooh! That sounds cool. I want to see! What are you reading right now?
There are two books open on my Kindle right now Dark Lycan by Christine Feehan and For the Sub by Sierra Cartwright.
I love Sierra’s work! What is your favorite food?
Bread is about the only food I couldn’t live without.
If you had to be stranded on a desert island – who is the one person you’d like to be stranded with, and what one luxury item would you like to have with you?
The who portion of this question is easy—my husband. He is the most ingenious person I’ve ever met. He would have a two story home with running water built in no time and have plans for adding on. He is also the keeper of my heart and smile. As for the luxury item…that’s a hard one to answer. I suppose it would be a lifetime supply of diet Pepsi. I’m pretty sure my world would stop rotating without it.
I understand. I have a Diet Coke addiction myself. If you could be any animal what would it be? Why?
Definitely a falcon. I’ve spent many an afternoon sitting on my front porch watching them drift along the thermals.
Is there anything else you’d like to share?
I am truly grateful for the opportunity Totally Bound has given me. It is a privilege to work with their talented and professional staff.
I agree. They gave me my start and I’ve learned so much from them. They’re awesome. Now let’s learn more about Tori’s sexy new read.
Bondage Anniversary
Laura can only find the excitement she so desperately craves between the covers of the latest BDSM novel she reads alone in their bed. Then one night Nick, her loving, cater-to-her-every-whim, vanilla sex husband discovers her hidden library. To her surprise, he decides their anniversary getaway is the perfect time to turn her fantasies into reality.
Before he can put his plan into action, Nick must figure out how to tell his wife she’s actually married to a Dom. More than that, Nick is also part owner of DiscipliNation, a successful chain of kink clubs and an erotic toy manufacturing company. Can he dominate his lovely ‘ballbreaker of the boardroom’ wife—while keeping his balls intact?
Laura’s treacherous body revels in Nick’s domination. As a natural submissive, she thrives under his strict, unyielding command. He trains her to respond to his every touch and the line between pain and pleasure blurs—so much desire, she’s lost in it. Laura craves his firm hand, yet his sin of omission shakes her trust. She willingly offers her body, but guards her heart. Quickly, she learns that Master Nick isn’t just a hotter than hell, leather-clad, flogger-wielding alter ego. Dom isn’t a role he slips on like a mask. It runs in his blood, defines his personality and, once unleashed, there’s no going back. Master Nick won’t play at D/s. The gift of her body isn’t enough. He demands her total submission.
Excerpt
Laura woke up in bed alone. She sighed in frustration. It’d been that way for years, why was it bothering her now? She rolled over and put her hand on her husband’s pillow. Her mood softened when she found a rose and a card. Her husband had been so preoccupied lately, she’d been afraid he might forget their anniversary. She should have known better. Sniffing the rose, she noticed the thorns had been removed. Of course, he would think of everything.
Opening the card, she saw it was more like a pamphlet. The cover was a photo from their high school days. Wow, did they look…innocent, and stupid. The next page was a collage of pictures from back in the day. Goodness how times had changed.
‘My dearest Angel, I suspect looking at these pictures, you were struck by how much has changed since we first fell in love. My rainbow-streaked-hair girl has turned into a stunning corporate executive. Your hand-me-down station wagon with the monkey hanging from the rear-view mirror has been replaced with a car much more fitting your elegant style. Those terry cloth rompers, flip-flops and plastic bangles have been traded for linen suits, high heels and diamonds. We won’t even mention the changes in me. Suffice to say—goodbye cheesy moustache!
Our love has changed and grown too. I was pretty sure we had something special when we married. Now I know you are my life. My world revolves around your smile. Although I try to make sure you know that, sometimes I get mired down in day-to-day crap and I forget what’s really important.
The other night while you lay in bed sleeping, I needed to check something on the Internet. My tablet and laptop were in my briefcase, so I grabbed your tablet. I was pretty shocked to see your reading interests had changed so dramatically. Historical fiction to BDSM is quite a leap. I was even a little pissed off that I’d had no inkling.’
Laura dropped the card. Oh my God! She grabbed her tablet and scrolled through the book section. Nick had gone through her tablet. Her hands shook and a faint, ill feeling took over. Her sweet, vanilla husband had looked through her extensive collection of BDSM books and short stories. Holy crap! She forced her breathing under control and picked up the card again.
‘I took note of the titles, purchased and read them all.’
Holy fucking shit!He read them. Read them all. Every raunchy, hotter than hell scene barraged her mind. That’s it. I’m divorced. Or dead. Our weekend getaway is just a ruse to give him time to hide my body. Her hands shook so badly she laid the card on the bed before she continued.
‘Some I liked better than others. I found a few more I think you’ll like. We can talk about them this weekend.
I see now I have been neglecting you. Like everything else, our sex life needs to evolve. I’m relieved to see every story had the girl as the sub, except that one with the switch couple. I hope you weren’t overly fond of that story. That won’t be happening.’
She read and reread the last part. It sounded like he wanted to play. Now her breathing was really ragged. Hope began to flicker like a little flame. Her husband was a successful attorney. He was Branson, of Branson and Associates. He knew how to take command. Just the thought of him commanding her got her wet. It was a little frightening. He certainly wouldn’t be a wussy Dom. Once he committed to dominating her, she wouldn’t be allowed any wiggle room. That’s just the way he was. Was she ready for this? Oh yeah, as long as he wanted it too… She loved him too much to push him into something he wasn’t comfortable with.
‘Please see the attached form. We need to be on the same page with this. Look over the list, add to it if I left anything out, complete it and bring it with you tonight. I have completed the same list. We will discuss it at the hotel. I’m sure we can negotiate a game plan from there. Be ready at four p.m. Wear a skirt or dress with stockings, high heels and no panties. Your soulmate, Nick.’
Before she could do more than glance at the form, her cellphone buzzed letting her know she had a text. It was from Nick.
‘Did you find your card?’
What should she say? She didn’t want to text about this, but he had to be wondering how she had received his…invitation.
’Yes, Sir, I will be ready,’ she texted back.
’Good girl,’ he responded almost immediately.
Why was that hot? A shiver startled her. It was a freaking text message, yet she felt his whiskers brush her ear. His soft, warm breath caressed her neck as he whispered those two words. Two condescending words she wanted to hear over and over again.
Laura needed to get her imagination under control and focus. Nick expected the list to be completed by this evening. She was a little intimidated by the task. The list was long, detailed and extensive. If he’d had John, his PA, type the form, she would kill him. No doubt about it.
Nah, John would have used a sliding scale. This list was very cut and dried. Each item had three choices—want to try, need more information, not interested. Yep, the form was very Nick. No shades of grey.
