I’m excited to be participating in the
goodreads BDSM group’s BDSM Bedtime Stories this season as a narrator. If you missed their first season and are part of the group, you can check it out here. It’s a cool project where BDSM authors
submit steamy excerpts from their work, which are then audio recorded. My narratorial debut is the
pre-season opener for Season 2, an excerpt from Truth by the awesome Sherri Hayes, which went up a few days ago. It’s available here. I’m having lots of fun being part of
this project, except that it’s hard sometimes to find quiet places to record.
My mom’s house? Definitely no.
“‘And then his lips brushed her nipple, and she felt a—‘”
“Honey? Do you want these pants, or should I give them to
Goodwill?”
“MOM! Not now! I’m trying to record a BDSM bedtime story!”
“Oops. Sorry. Did you just say nipple?”
My apartment in Chile was rough too, because there was a
random marching band that would start up every night down the street. I’d
finally get all the roommates quiet, the TV would be off, everyone would be
settling down for the night…I’d creep into my room, hook up the microphone,
start recording, and suddenly the whole neighborhood would sound like halftime
at a high school football game.
But now that I’m settled in this nice, quiet farmhouse, it
should get easier. As long as I don’t record while people are practicing at the
firing range over the hill (at lease I think that's what's going on). Or while the crows are fighting.
There’s more news I’m excited to share as well. ONE WEEK
FROM TODAY, Domestic Discipline Week kicks off on my blog with a visit from Cara Bristol. I rarely do events
here, because I don’t know how to plan and I don’t know how to promote, but I’m
giving this a try. Six fabulous DD and D/s authors plus one real life DD couple
have agreed to come on the blog for interviews and guest posts, and together
we’re going to get to the bottom *snort* of what makes DD so intriguing, fun,
misunderstood, off-putting, sexy, strange, and whatever other words anyone
might use to describe it. There will be games, pictures, and giveaways. Please
stop by. And tell your friends!
I’ve scheduled DD Week to coincide with Shark Week on the
Discovery Channel, because I’m a huge shark fan. I continue to devote myself to
Shark Week each year, even as it becomes increasingly less educational and more
about graphic reenactments of people getting bitten in half, with program
titles like Terror in the Shallows
and Stripped of Flesh and My Thirty Seconds Halfway Inside a Great White’s
Stomach. I still believe in you, Shark Week. I still believe.
So my guests for DD Week have all been asked to say a few
words about sharks as well. They’re all super sweet for putting up with me.
So remember, this time next week—Spanking. Sharks. Prizes.
It’s DD/Shark Week, August 4-10th.
