Karen Nappa is an Amazon bestselling author of Seasoned BDSM romance with HEA. Her books are available at the popular retailers and include series such as the Club Indigo series and The Quinn Quartet.

Immersed in the D/s lifestyle herself, she writes realistic albeit romantic stories. When not dominated by her cats or her Master (in that order—even if it earns her a spanking!), she loves going places to discover the stories waiting to be written.

She resides in the Netherlands with her dominant husband, two adult-ish sons—and whoever they might drag home with them—and, of course, her two Chausie cats. If she isn’t writing or texting with friends, she’s probably reading, running, or listening to heavy metal.

Thanks for the great question, Cecile. We have at least four more planned, assuming the first one does well, of course.

We usually outline the story at some point. Trapped came more organically. The second and third books are more planned out, but we don't decide who is going to write what until we're in the middle of things. Some scenes just naturally come to one or the other of us and some we have to work harder at and do more together. We have regular chats on Skype twice about the story we're working on where we make decisions and discuss other of the publishing process.(less)

Mother's Day: a brand new Club Indigo story and free books!

Hello everyone! How are you doing with all the lockdown, safer-at-home, and shelter in place orders? Without books, we’d have gone crazy by now!

New Release
We’re super excited about our latest book, Blinded. It’s an enemy-to-lovers medical romance novel featuring a Bakushi (comes from Kinbaku (rope bondage) and Shi (master)) who must go through great lengths to win over his jujun’na (submissive).

Quotes by Karen Nappa  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Nothing says ‘mine’ more than my handprint, Ember.”
Karen Nappa, Claiming Chloe

“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.”
Anaïs Nin

“It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.”
Cherise Sinclair, Dark Citadel

“When a woman submits to a man, it's the most precious gift she can give. Herself. Unreservedly. The man has to respect and honor that gift above all else. Even if he respects nothing else in the world, he must respect the woman in his care. It's his sworn duty to protect, honor and cherish his submissive. To take care of her and provide a safe haven. Someone who would put his own needs above his woman's is no man.”
Maya Banks, Sweet Addiction

“If my Master is lost, I'll find him. I'll lead him back to himself, because to serve doesn't always mean to follow.”
Joey W. Hill, Hostile Takeover

“Right on the edge of fear was where trust could grow.”
Cherise Sinclair, Breaking Free

John I would love it if you posted your books on the bookshelf (in addition to your profile)

please tag them (bondage, D/s, whatever)
yes were behind on that.
I never expected to become mod...
(never wanted the gig) LOL


John I'm assuming you're a legacy member

I came here several months ago hoping to raid the bookshelf. (Looking for D/s works like yours) I found a graveyard.,
Skylar was the only mod and according to GR he became inactive in 2014.
The bookshelf was locked (and it turned out,, empty),
I pestered GR admin and them made me moderator.

i don't know what i'm doing,
I try to see a need, and then fill it.

if you have any suggestions.. give me a shout on my profile

John


John Hi, Thanks for the vote of 'friendship'

What I’m trying to do here.
This group has been in hibernation. I’m waking it up. I want to build it in a way that’s friendly to both men and women… I think that segregation between smut and porn is ridiculous.
We’re both excited about the same ‘event’ but from two different perspectives

I write ARC’s for three of the nastiest women writers on the web.
IMHO nobody knows what it’s like to get fucked better than they do,,, they just happen to be really good at putting that on the page.

We KNOW we’re kinky, and that’s fine… That’s why I have a co-mod who’s gay. We recently added one of the nastiest women writers on the web, as another co-mod, Molly.

I’m 79 with a bad ticker and I don’t want to leave this group leaderless.

You’re a writer and we’re thrilled to have you.
Many of the members are new.
I would love for you to introduce yourself and tell us about your books, the books you plan in the future, and how we can help you,


From the home page.. go to the green type on the right. The discussion tab.. hit that and drop down to the introduce yourself
Tell us about yourself… your books… your future books ( AND BRAG YOUR ASS OFF!!!!)

John
