New Release: Claimed by the Sheikh by Marie Tuhart

I'm happy to announce my new release:

Blurb:

Translator Sara Delaney is on her way to Russia when her plane is diverted to London. After a disappointing love affair with a sexy and powerful man she’s looking forward to some downtime.  She’s pleasantly surprised when a driver delivers her to a penthouse room in a luxury hotel. Aching with sorrow over the way the man she enjoyed in so many ways disappointed her by not being the take-charge dominant male she needed in the bedroom, she collapses on the sumptuous bed only to wake to find him in her suite.

Sheikh Kasim Harram, leader of a small middle-eastern kingdom, is not used to a woman thwarting his advances. He’d expected the love affair with Sara, the woman of his dreams, to blossom, but she said a final farewell in Hong Kong. He doesn’t know why. After all, he always treated her with the utmost respect, withholding his more wild appetites. When her plane makes an unscheduled layover in London, where he happens to be on business, it seems the fates have conspired to give him another chance at seduction. With nothing more to lose perhaps the time has come to show her his real nature, but will it backfire causing him to lose her forever?

When does a layover in Heathrow airport turn into a weekend of pleasure...and maybe forever? When you're claimed by the sheikh.

Excerpt:

    

"Hello, little one."

Son of a turkey biscuit. "Kasim?" She fumbled for the lamp. The light snapped on, and she blinked. No imagination here. "You scared the crap out of me." Her heart pounded in her chest, now not from fear but from apprehension. How the hell did he get here? Last time she heard he’d gone back home. The more important question was why would he be here? She ignored the way her heart pounded and her clit pulsed at the sight of him. They were done.

"Yes, it is I." He leaned forward in the chair near the bed. His dark hair was tousled, but he still had that calm, cool, collected aura about him. The perfect gentleman.

"Why are you here?" She scrambled to think, sleep still clogging her brain.

"To see you, of course." His deep, husky voice sent shivers of awareness through her veins.

Some Sexy Action by Marie Tuhart #mysexysaturday

It's time again for My Sexy Saturday

This week's theme: Some Sexy Action

I decided to do 7 sentences this week.  This is from my book Melt My Heart.  Gabriel (my hero) finally gets Lexi (heroine) into his bed. 

     “Raise your arms.” She did, and he whisked the t-shirt off, leaving her standing in a pair of boxer shorts.

     Her nipples hardened, and his eyes darkened with desire. “Beautiful,” he whispered, kissing his way between the valley of her breasts, to the top of her stomach. His fingers slid beneath the elastic of the shorts.

     Her hands tangled in his hair as he lowered the shorts, letting them fall to the floor. Kneeling down, he dropped a kiss at the top of her mound.

I hope you've enjoyed the peak into my writing.  Don't forget to check out all the other my sexy bloggers this week.

A Sexy Encounter - My Sexy Saturday by Marie Tuhart

Welcome to another week of My Sexy Saturday.

This weeks theme is: A Sexy Encounter

I decided to do 7 sentences from my current release Melt My Heart.  This a short story about Lexi and Gabriel.  Lexi is learning how to give up control, and Gabriel finds himself wanting more than just the stated contract time together.  Can this Dom and sub find the right balance to stay together?

            All thoughts fled as his fingers tunneled beneath the fabric of the t-shirt she wore and began inching it up. Her hands gripped his shoulders.

            Rough palms skimmed up her stomach, pushing the fabric higher. “Raise your arms.” She did, and he whisked the t-shirt off, leaving her standing in a pair of boxer shorts.

            Her nipples hardened, and his eyes darkened with desire. “Beautiful,” he whispered, kissing his way between the valley of her breasts, to the top of her stomach.

I hope you've enjoy this sexy encounter between my characters.

My Sexy Saturday by Marie Tuhart

#Marie Tuhart

Welcome to My Sexy Saturday.  It's is the 123rd Saturday of My Sexy Saturday, I haven't participated that long, but I love doing this each week.

This weeks theme is: My Sexy New Year

I really don't have anything that has New Year's in it, so instead I choose to use 7 sentences from my book Red Club Temptation (on sale for .99 cents right now).

So here we go:

            Hands braced on her inner thighs as he widened her stance, his tongue playing with her clit. “Oh... God... Yes.”

            Jessie threw her head back as fingers penetrated her pussy. Her muscles tightened, and her breathing hitched. His tongue started flicking her clit as his fingers pumped in and out of her wetness.

            Her stomach tightened, and coils of pleasure rolled though her veins. It wouldn’t be long now.

I really hope you've enjoyed this weeks peek into my writing.

Imagine Sexy - My Sexy Saturday - Marie Tuhart

It’s another My Sexy Saturday.  This week’s theme is: Imagine Sexy

Anything can be sexy, a touch, a kiss or even a smoldering look from your special partner.  I decided to use a scene from my latest released Bound & Teased.

           

Katie has just returned to her home town and back to the two men who she never forgot.  I hope you like it.

            “Welcome home.” Jed’s breath skimmed her neck before his lips touched her skin.

            “It’s been too damn long.” Ry didn’t hesitate, his mouth closing over hers.

            Her heart pounded as Ry’s mouth devoured hers. Jed nipped at her skin with little bites where her neck and shoulder met and she let out a gasp, allowing Ry to slide his tongue past her lips.

            Two sets of hands roamed over her body. Ry cupped her ass, pulling her against his hard cock. Jed teased the underside of her breasts, making her nipples pebble while he pressed his equally hard erection against her ass.

            “My turn.” The words barely registered before Ry released her lips. Strong fingers cupped her chin, her head turned, and Jed took her mouth. His lips were softer, but his kiss was as hard and demanding as Ry’s, but less urgent.

            Two men, two different kisses. Her brain grappled with the way they tasted. Each different. Ry, metal and coffee, Jed, mint and the outdoors. Oh, God. They tasted the same as they had when she was eighteen.

            Her body was melting between them. She curled one arm around Jed’s neck, and the other hand began caressing Ry’s chest. Her helplessness to resist these two men was starting again. And did she care? At the moment, no, but she’d come home knowing they weren’t going to play it safe, not this time.

Their Sexy Gaze - My Sexy Saturday

Welcome to the 118^th week of MySexy Saturday.

This week’s theme: Their Sexy Gaze

This week’s theme is Their Sexy Gaze. Have you ever seen a couple who look so adoringly at each other? Makes you wonder just what they are thinking about. Are they thinking about the last time they made love? Or how about the conversation they just had?

I chose to use 7 sentences from His for the Weekend (currently on sale for .99 cents)

This is a scene after Cassie and Marcus have made love, Cassie is finally coming out of her shell. Marcus is cooking for her and she's just walked into the kitchen.

     There was not an ounce of fat on this man. His firm hard ass begged for her touch, long lean legs, wide shoulders and muscles flexed as he chopped up something for dinner. Unable to stand still, she padded across the kitchen. Her fingers traced those muscles, then her lips followed.

     “You smell like musk.” It wasn’t an unpleasant scent—it turned her on.

      “I didn’t expect you to be up yet.”

I hope you've enjoyed this little snippet.

Sale - His for the Weekend

His for the Weekend is currently on sale for .99 cents.

This is one of my favorite books.  Marcus and Cassie have issues to work out, but they work them out together creating a bond of not only friendship but love.  Cassie has to learn to get over her past and old memories.  Marcus has to learn that failure isn't the end but a learning experience.

While You Were Sexy – MySexySaturday Marie Tuhart - #mysexysaturday

It’s My Sexy Saturday time again.

This week’s theme is a take on the movie, While You Were Sleeping, and can be fun, quirky or not. So many things can happen while you were sexy...things like falling in love with someone other than your boyfriend/girlfriend...or maybe taking a risk you wouldn’t normally take.

I decided to use a scene from my book His for the Weekend (on sale for .99 cents) where my heroine takes a risk she normally wouldn’t because she can’t stand living on the edge with the hero anymore.

          His heart leaped—now he could prove to her there was more to him than a co-worker and give their relationship a chance. “What are you willing to give me?”

          Her head snapped up and she gnawed on her lip. “Twenty-four hours.”

          “Not enough. A hundred and twenty.”

          Her mouth opened then closed. Her gaze darted left, then right, before settling back on his face. He could almost see the wheels turning in her head. A good sign—she was willing to be his.  “Too long. Forty-eight.”

          He stood and crossed over to her. He needed to be close to her as they negotiated. “Still not enough Ninety-six uninterrupted hours with you.”

          Her nose scrunched up and her lashes swept down, cutting off the view of her expressive eyes. “Sixty—six tonight until six Monday morning.”

          He noted the stubborn set to her chin. It wasn’t ideal, but he could do it. He would not fail in winning her over. Leaning close, he whispered, “I’ll take it.”

I hope you've enjoyed this sexy Saturday.

Sexy Today by Marie Tuhart #mysexysaturday @mysexysaturday

Welcome to the 111^th week of My Sexy Saturday.

This week’s theme: Sexy Today

I'm happy to be a part of another My Sexy Saturday.   This week we've been asked to post sexy, sexy, and more sexy within the guidelines of 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs.

So I decided to post really sexy. This is from my book Red Club Temptation.  Caleb and Jessie are talking in his cabin. Here's 7 paragraphs to tantalize you with.

     “I will clamp your nipples and your clit, too. I will play with your pussy with my mouth, my fingers, and my toys. I want to tie you up and spank your ass until it’s a nice rosy color. I’ll flog you and whip you until you’re shaking from pleasure. I will tease you and bring you to multiple releases.” He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he reopened them, they were hooded with desire. “Then do it all over again and again.”

     Her pussy clenched. She wanted these things, too. She wanted him to take her, make her his.

     “Based on our earlier conversation, how much anal play have you had?”

     Heat flared over her skin. “Not much. Just plugs and beads.”

     “We’ll work on that, then. I will push your limits, Jessie. Are you ready for that?”

     She closed her eyes and then opened them. Lord, she wanted this. No, she wanted Caleb. He called to her submissive side in a way no one ever had before. Her gaze met his. “Yes, Caleb I’m ready. I want all of that, too.” Her heart pounded.

     “Okay.” His fingers cupped her chin. “I’m not the same boy who left here twelve years ago. I’ve grown into a man. A dominant man.”

Bound & Teased - released date 8/14

I'm so thrilled to have my 7th novel published by The Wild Rose Press.

Bound & Teased was a different book for me to write.  It is a committed menage with MMF in it.  The book was a challenge, but it was worth the effort to make sure it was the best book it could be.

It will be available on 8/14 at:
 The Wild Rose Press website - click here
Amazon - click here

It will also be available at other retailers but at the time I put this blog out I didn't have links.  Just search on Bound & Teased or Marie Tuhart and I'm sure you'll find it.

Below is the cover, blurb and an excerpt:

Blurb:

Eight years ago, a naive Katie Crane ran from Ry and Jed, warned their brand of love would ruin her life. Now she's all grown up and returning home with a better understanding of the BDSM lifestyle. After the betrayal she's faced at her father's hands, she worries she won't be strong enough to submit to the men she gave her heart and virginity to at eighteen. 

Jed Malloy and Ry McCade are surprised and thrilled by Katie's return to Felton's Creek. They'd been heartbroken after her departure and had turned to each other, embracing the BDSM lifestyle without her. Katie's homecoming sparks hope and worry. Ry isn’t sure he can keep his dominant side under control, and Jed fears Katie will see him as less of a man by being a switch and Ry’s submissive.

Having Katie back could mean the beginning of everything   they've ever wanted or the end to the only family they've ever known.

Excerpt:

            “Welcome home.” Jed’s breath skimmed her neck before his lips touched her skin.

            “It’s been too damn long.” Ry didn’t hesitate, his mouth closing over hers.

            Her heart pounded as Ry’s mouth devoured hers. Jed nipped at her skin with little bites where her neck and shoulder met and she let out a gasp, allowing Ry to slide his tongue past her lips.

And did she care? At the moment, no, but she’d come home knowing they weren’t going to play it safe, not this time.

New Book Almost Ready

In the next few weeks I should have some great news about my next release Bound and Teased.

I've just finished up with the galleys and should be getting my cover and release date soon.

I'm so excited to have this book published by The Wild Rose Press.

I started writing Bound and Teased back in 2012 and then put it aside to work on other books.  It wasn't until last year, I was able to pick it back up and finish writing the book.

It is the longest book I've ever done for The Wild Rose Press its a little over 60,000 words, but the characters and story demanded it.

Here's the blurb of the book:

Eight years ago, a naive Katie Crane ran from Ry and Jed, warned their brand of love would ruin her life. Now she's all grown up and returning home with a better understanding of the BDSM lifestyle. After the betrayal she's faced at her father's hands, she worries she won't be strong enough to submit to the men she gave her heart and virginity to at eighteen.

Having Katie back could mean the beginning of everything   they've ever wanted or the end to the only family they've ever known.

More news to come next week.

Guest: Desiree Holt

I'm thrilled to have Desiree Holt as my guest today.  She has a new book out and it is hot!

Welcome to Rawhide, the exclusive BDSM club north of San Antonio, Texas, where the ranchers and their friends come to play in carefully guarded anonymity. Ruled by a Dungeon Master extraordinaire, its well-vetted membership enjoys delights to please even the most experienced Dom and sub. Come on in. The evening is just about to start.

Blurb:

Just for an instant their gazes connected, then he was gone. Barrel racer Trish Barton wanted to find that mysterious man in black who in brief seconds pushed all her buttons. A born submissive, she saw herself on her knees before him, bound by the lasso he'd held in his hand.

Jake Keenan had never forgotten that one brief glimpse of he woman who set him on fire, a woman he’d give anything to Master. How could she have taken root in his dreams after that one brief glimpse?

Then Fate threw them together and gave them the opportunity to fully explore the Dom/sub relationship they craved. But Trish wasn’t yet ready to give up the rodeo circuit, much to Jake’s dismay. And then an emergency turned their lives upside down and showed both of them what’s really important. 

Excerpt:

Like a paintbrush sweeping across her field of vision the image of a man blew into her mind. She’d only seen him once, at the rodeo in Oklahoma. She couldn’t seem to make herself look away.  And seeing was probably the appropriate word because all she’d gotten was the one look at him. She was brushing Misty after the show and he’d walked into the barn. Something had made her turn at that exact moment and their eyes met. For a breathless second she thought he intended to speak to her. Then a group of friends swept into the barn, crowding her. He backed away and when she could look again he was gone. But the incredible impact of that one quick visual contact had never left her, the image of him etched in her mind.

The most idiotic part of it was this man, who had spent less than a minute in her life, had become the object of some very erotic dreams. No matter how much she tried to wipe away the memory, the nights when she was really tired as soon as she closed her eyes there he was, in his naked glory, the Master of her imagination. Sometimes when she awoke she was sure she could still feel the chafing in her wrists from handcuffs, the pressure of knots from the rope he’d tied her with or a soreness on the cheeks of her ass from his punishment. How crazy was that? Smiling to herself now she wondered if she could run an ad in the paper. Wanted: man in plaid shirt and blue jeans who almost got to talk to me.

Dumb, Trish. Really dumb.

Getting to this point in her rodeo career hadn’t been easy. Ever since her first contest in high school she had worked hard and sacrificed a lot. But she’d had a single-minded purpose and the support of her family. Now she nearly had it all. She was favored to win the title at the Nationals for the third time in a row, validating all she’d accomplished, and her family would be there to cheer her on. So why was it she suddenly felt unsettled. Out of sync. As if there was a hole in her life she’d just stepped into.

Maybe it was the fact that the Doms she spent time with at the private clubs at each stop lately weren’t answering her needs. Up to this point that was all she’d wanted or needed. For the first time since she’d discovered her submissive nature and her needs, everything was suddenly a little off the mark. Or it might be the two weeks she’d just spent hanging out at her friend CeCe’s ranch, taking a break from the circuit. Sitting on the wide porch, drinking iced tea and looking back on things, she’d begun to wonder if there was more to life than training and competing and taking her pleasure in small doses when she could. 

She’d never worried about it before, never given a thought to having a man in her life for anything more than the here and now. But the reaching of her thirty-fifth birthday had made her stop and think. Take a good long look at who and what and where she was. Was a man what she was missing? She hoped not because fixing that wouldn’t be as easy as it sounded. For one thing, she’d seen too many women on the circuit meet a man, fall for him and then suddenly they were out of competition, giving up an exciting career. Why would they give up what they’d worked so hard for just because some man came along? Didn’t they have regrets? Even for a moment?

She wanted one that wouldn’t try to put a halter on her except when—

Excerpt: Red Club Temptation

Red Club Temptation release this Friday 1/30 and I'm so excited.

Last year (2014) shortly after my mother had passed away, I had scheduled a trip to San Francisco Bay Area to attend a writing workshop but to also have a retreat with my critique group.  While at the retreat, I read about the Lobster Cove series of books my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, and I wanted to see if I could come up with a story that would fit.

So my critique group and I started talking about it.  Within a few hours, I had a basic plot and synopsis.  And so did one of my critique partners.  We kept refining and then together we sent in our synopsis to see if we could get a spot in the series.

We both did.  That was one of the really fun things about the Lobster Cove series, it covers all the lines the Wild Rose Press has.  So from contemporary, to suspense, to the erotic.  We all had a shot.  And because me and one of my critique partners got in on it at the beginning we were able to help shape the town and be part of the brainstorming for the town.

Here's an excerpt from Red Club Temptation:

Time to find out if she was a Domme or sub. This time when their gazes met and held, he mouthed the word “Obey.” Her gaze dropped. He sucked in a breath. Damn, she was a submissive. And just what he needed. He couldn’t help himself as he strode across the room.

Caleb stopped when he was within touching distance, and her gaze never rose from the floor.  Excitement stirred in his spine for the first time in a long time.

“Hello,” he said.

 "Good evening, Sir.” Her voice was soft but calm, eyes still downcast.

He cupped her chin and tilted her head up. “Look at me, sweetheart, I want to see your eyes.”

Hazel eyes to go with beautiful red hair. He loved looking into the eyes of his subs, unless of  course he had them blindfolded, and then he would 7 make them use other senses.

“Are you available?” He glanced at her wrist. No band. He’d been told anyone with a black band was off limits.

“Excuse me?” a male voice intruded.

Caleb’s gaze left her to see one of the dungeon masters standing next to them. “You’re needed in the other room, Red.”

Her spine stiffened, and she lifted her chin out of Caleb’s hold. “Thanks, Ryan. I’ll be right there.”

Ryan nodded and gave Caleb the once over 18 before disappearing into the private club area.

“Sorry, but I have to go.”

“I understand, but first.” He cupped her cheeks and brushed a kiss across her soft lips. She leaned into him when he released her mouth. “I’ll be here if you want to play later.” He released her and stepped back.

Her fingers touched her lips and then she smiled. “I might take you up on that.” Then she strode away hips swaying.

Caleb and Jessie are reunited old friends who now can pursue their passions together.

And if you want to read more in the Lobster Cove series you can go here to see all the books.

By the way, my critique partners book is Love Caters All, check it out.

Cover Reveal: Red Club Temptation

I know it's been a long while since I had a cover reveal for one of my own books.

Last year was a bit crazy with family issues and traveling. But parts of my life are getting back to normal.

So here's the cover for my newest book:

Red Club Temptation is part of the Lobster Cove series from The Wild Rose Press. It is a stand alone read, just set in the fictional Maine town of Lobster Cover.

Here's the blurb:

She needs a dungeon master. He needs her secrets.  

Red Club owner Jessie Michaels isn't looking for love, just someone competent to monitor her dungeon in Lobster Cove's only BDSM club. But a new Dominant catches her eye and makes her tingle in all the right places. She's called away for business before she can catch his name, but not before that commanding voice tempts her for more.

Caleb Drake has returned to Lobster Cove to find out what makes the Red Club so successful only to discover the sexy redheaded sub he met the night before is actually his boss. He vows to keep business separate from pleasure, but the temptation to see if the iron-fisted club owner is truly submissive in the bedroom becomes too much.

But when Caleb's ulterior motive is revealed, will Jessie be ruled by business...or pleasure?

The release date is Jan. 30th.  I'll be posting more at the end of the month.

Cover Reveal

It's been an interesting week.  I will be attending a BDSM Writers Conference in New York this month and as part of that I was asked if I would like to be in an anthology with other writers attending the conference.

Of course I said yes.

The catch, the story had to be 5,000 words or less, and it had to be in  no later than July 31.  Okay, I could do that.  And I did. But the edits turn around time was 24-48 hours.  Now that was a challenge, because when I got them I was knee deep working on another book.

But I got them done and I'm happy to say the book is now available.

Here's the cover:

If you are interested in ordering you can click here

Until August 18th the print edition is 30% off, and if you're going to be in the New York area, we will be having a public book signing on Sunday 8/24 from 12 noon until 4 pm.  For a list of the authors signing you can click here

I hope you'll like my contribution to the anthology.  My story is called Caro's Fantasy and is a delicious story. 

There will be an e-book edition as well, it will be available after the conference.

Have a great week.

And tune in next Monday 8/25 for a special post on my blog.

BDSM Blog Hop

Good morning everyone.  Well, depending on where you live.  I'm a little late today, so this one will be short, but will be adding all week.

I'm doing a BDSM Blog Hop this week in an effort to educate everyone about BDSM.

I write romance, I'm going to say that up front.  My books do contain elements of light BDSM, but at the core they are romance, just more erotic.

I love letting my characters explore their sensual side and learn about themselves and the BDSM world.  I educated myself about the world.  I'm no expert and I'm sure I'm still getting some things wrong, but I go with my gut a lot of times and what makes sense to my characters.

I'll do a long blog post for my normal Monday blogging and please come back because I will have a give-away and links to the others who are part of this blog hop.

Oh and there will be man candy to look at :)

Until then, have a great Saturday.

The Learning Continues

I've learned, I can never stop learning.

As funny as that sounds, I find that no matter how many times I've heard a workshop topic, or ask someone questions about something, I can always learn something news.

For those of you who read my books, I have a very light BDSM theme in my erotic romance books. So when the chance to take some classes give by Dr. Charley Ferrer was given to me, I jumped at it.

And I've learned so much and I'm not even half way through the classes yet. This made me realize, there is always something new to learn in writing.

I've heard other writers say "there's nothing new for me to learn." But I've never taken that attitude. In order to keep your writing fresh, your perspective new and keep the brain active, you need to look at things in a new way, or at least that's how I feel.

Just by taking these few classes, the ideas for more books are bouncing around in my brain. I have characters wanting me to tell their stories next (so many characters so little time.) And I'm loving every second of this, because it tells me I'm on the right track.

If you curious about the BDSM world let me recommend two books for you, both written by Dr. Charley Ferrer.

BDSM The Naked Truth - this is for anyone interested in what the BDSM lifestyle is

BDSM for Writers - this is for writers

As I writer I'm finding both fascinating and helping me portray my characters more realistically.

Have a great week.

Special Guest: Dr. Charley Ferrer

Today, I'm please to have as my special guest sexologist Dr. Charley Ferrer.

The origins of BDSM FOR WRITERS is actually a funny story and shows how the Universe works in mysterious ways. First I have to say, I never thought to write a book on BDSM much less one for authors. I actually found myself hyperventilating when I started writing the book. I was so nervous writing for you all (authors), I got major writers block. I mean, you’re the ones I go to for romance and fantasies. Even with seven books on sexuality and self-empowerment and having won an award for Best Self-Help book under my belt, I still trembled when I sat down to write BDSM FOR WRITERS.

Believe it or not, BDSM FOR WRITERS and BDSM THE NAKED TRUTH are here because I read a romance novel. Yep, it’s true. I was reading Joey W. Hill, The Vampire Queen’s Servant, and feel in love with the characters and the writing. It was the first BDSM book I read that actually depicted the lovingly respectful and erotic connection that is at the heart of a Dominance and submission relationship. When I contacted Joey to share how “disappointed I was to learn she was a woman because I wanted to kidnap Jacob, the lead male character in the book”, she chuckled and graciously agreed to appear on my TV show instead since she was attending the Authors After Dark 2011 event hosted by Stella Price in New Jersey and would be in my area.

Stella Price graciously allowed us to film at her AAD Conference and even asked if I’d sit in on the BDSM Panelthey were conducting to help normalize this uniquely erotic and misunderstood lifestyle. After the panel I was asked if I’d consider writing a book on BDSM for authors. Five months later, I not only completed BDSM FOR WRITERS but BDSM THE NAKED TRUTH a slightly different version for the general public.

When you stop and think about it, both these books owe their creation to a romance novel! It’s mind boggling when you stop and consider how an author’s words, may affect another’s life and how that life will affect so many others.

I am self-publishing these books as I refused to have the valuable information contained within them censored in anyway. And though this caused a little delay in getting the books out, they are now available and completely uncensored. They even have surprise forward and dedication for Joey W. Hill, Viola Johnson, and Catherine Gross.

It’s my hope that BDSM FOR WRITERS and BDSM THE NAKED TRUTH opens the door to a greater understanding of the world of dominance and submission and dispels many of the misconceptions perpetuated by Hollywood and novelist who don’t have a full understanding of the respect, affection, and love many in this uniquely erotic lifestyle/orientation share.

Plus I wanted to share that with every book sold $1 will be donated to NCSF (National Coalition for Sexual Freedom) and the Carter Johnson Leather Library; two organizations that work hard at safeguarding our sexual freedom and our sexual expression. And the first 300 people to purchase a copy of my books will receive a $500 Digital Erotic Art collection from Captured Erotica and be entered to win 35 kinky prizes and one mundane one—a Kindle. My way of saying thanks!

I want to thank you all for stopping by and leaving a comment or asking a question. I also want to thank Marie for graciously hosting me on her website.

Live with passion,

Dr. Charley Ferrer
