Miss Rose is almost done
Our very first erotica book��is almost ready to go. We’ve brushed up the first two stories ��� which I wrote some time ago ��� and have added a third that we’re pretty proud of. All told, the book is about 22,000 words of bondage and discipline. Smack!
Obviously, Miss Rose is not intended for all-ages reading. Adults only! Like all of our Severine titles, Miss Rose is pure smut. That being said, let’s talk smut!
I can’t tell you how much fun we had working on Miss Rose. I don’t often get to research and write about bondage. Going into the book, I know only a little bit. Pretty much what we all hear from popular media����� whips and chains and black leather. I was delighted and fascinated to have this chance to delve deeper��into the psychology and kink of BDSM.
If you’re looking for something like 50 Shades of Gray, this isn’t it. In addition to being a domme-led (a female dominant) story, it was our goal to better and more safely represent bondage and dominance play. You won’t find any stalking in Miss Rose. Boundaries and safe words are respected. We were far more interested in exploring the healing and trusting aspects of BDSM than the extreme fantasies of 50 Shades and Secretary. After all, that’s been done now, to great the great financial success of EL James.
That’s not to disrespect 50 Shades and Secretary! It’s because of those books and movies that Aron and I (or Eric and I, under our erotica pen names) even have an audience for our Severine titles! They brought erotica and bondage to the mainstream, to people who knew next to nothing about it. Hats off to both titles and all due respect! Thank you for paving the way for the rest of us.
Miss Rose is with beta readers and editors now. It should be ready for your greedy little eyes by July this year.
It’s going to be a little nerve-wracking to release Miss Rose! I’ve been writing erotica just for myself and Aron for many, many years. We have a smut folder containing nearly 100 pieces of writing. And since we’ve lost a few over the years, I think it’s safe to say we broke the three digit mark. But now we’re going to be sharing it with the whole world. Eek!
