Talking About BDSM & Books

I attend several conventions a year and one of my favorite things to do is sit on panels. Not only do I get to talk a little bit about genres and books I love, but I get to interact with readers who generously show up and ask their questions and/or lend their support.

At the Authors After Dark convention in September I enjoyed participating in several including the cats vs. dogs shifter panel, a panel about working author promotion and a BDSM panel. All were very well attended and lots of fun but since we are lucky to have some video clips from one of them I though I would highlight the BDSM panel.

I was lucky to be included on a panel with amazing authors Dr. Charley Ferrer, Joey W. Hill, Tilly Green, Madeline Oh and Bridget Midway.

The room was packed with readers and authors with a lot of interaction between the audience and the panel members. Simply, it was a lot of fun. BDSM romance is one of my favorite genres to both read and write and it's educational to listen to others talk about their likes and dislikes in the genre. If there is one thing I've learned a long time ago is that BDSM is not a one type fits all kind of practice. I'm always learning more and savor the moments when I get to sit down with people and discuss this.
