Let me tell you a little story....
Back in August 2012, I had an idea for a series. It was to be set in a BDSM club in Manchester, and there would be three books in this series.
The first was to be that of Leo Hart and the shy submissive he encounters, Alex. Next was his business partner, Thomas and the damaged sub brought to him, Peter. And finally there was to be Dorian's story, the brat who tried to split up Leo and Alex in book #1, and Dom Alan Marchant.
Okay, so if you're a fan of the Collars & Cuffs series, you're already shaking your head, because things didn't go according to plan. I was nearly finished writing
An Unlocked Heart and was planning
Trusting Thomas when I met one
Will Parkinson on Facebook. By the start of 2013 we'd decided to write a book together, and so was born
Someone to Keep Me. In August, a meeting with a stripper in a gay strip club in Atlanta gave birth to
A Dance with Domination, and Dorian was taking a backseat.
Then Will - or should I say
Parker Williams - and I wanted to tie up some loose ends, and into existence came
Damian's Discipline.
In the meantime.....
Have you any idea how many emails and messages I was receiving, all wanting to know when Dorian would get
his story? Yeah, a lot...
So when I told people that yes, I was finally writing it, I swear I heard the cheer from across the Atlantic.
And here we are. When it was time to decide on the cover, I went back to the website of photographer Terry Cyr, whose photos of real life couple Nate and Zach were used for books #1 and #2. Back then there was only one couple in his Gallery. Now there were three - and all of a sudden I was looking at the THE PERFECT cover. It fit the mood of the book. It fit the relationship between Alan and Dorian. Oh yeah...
The book,
Make Me Soar, will be released June 22, and I am really excited, not to mention nervous as hell. This one is... different.
(Yeah, I know, they's
all different, but this one....)
So I will be awaiting the verdict with bated breath.
This book has been a long time coming...
