Hi There. I just wanted to say that I loved, absolutely adored, "For Real". I have never read a book quite like it. Any plans on books with a similar theme? I loved your take on BDSM, as it wasn't cliché and didn't make me cringe (that happens a lot, I'm very specific about my BDSM book tastes). Again, loved the story so much.

I am so so sorry I took so long to answer this - GR is sporadic in its alerting and I'm disorganised and hopeless.
I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed FOR REAL and that my portrayal of kink worked for you, since I know it's a very subjective thing and I think, like you, my own tastes and perspectives are quite specific.
I tend to ... try to write the sort of sex that seems right for the characters and for the context of the characters, kinky or vanilla or subtle or ... err, not there at all :) I do have an erotic trilogy in the works (contracted, through currently unscheduled) but it explores a much more traditional dynamic. And I do have vague plans to poke at some of the kinkier side characters in the Spires universe at some point - Dom-the-Dom has a story outlined, for example, and Angel, and Jasper. None of them are kinky in the traditional sense, well, except DtD who is kinky in the most traditional sense imaginable but I think they'd probably count as exploring kinky themes in a similar way to FOR REAL. Although I'm not sure - I'd need to see how they come out when I try to write them.
And, wow, that is a terrible non-answer.
tl;dr: plans, yes, but nothing specific currently :)
