Nods to the hardcore
In my work a certain balance needs to be struck between BDSM reality and erotic fantasy. This is done for a variety of reasons mostly to do with narrative flow but I always like to sprinkle in a few bread crumbs for my kinkster readers. In my books you will find passing references to (among other things) CBT, Urine play (not gonna use the p word), castration/sissification fantasy (book 6, coming soon), body modification and other BDSM acts and fantasies which would be far too extreme for mainstream audiences and publishers. I do this not to show off my knowledge but to imply a broader world that there simply isn't the narrative space (yet) to put a focus on.
BDSM is huge with fantasies, practices, varying opinions, etc enough to fill a million books. So I like to sprinkle some of these throughout the world of my more mainstream novels to imply that depth and indicate that there's so much more to learn and to explore. I don't write how-to guides I write novels with a narrative structure and a framework for a series of story arcs between the books. Please enjoy my novels as such and have a little fun finding my Easter eggs and sprinkled references but (especially when it comes to the hardcore) if you're interested in learning more do your research. There are so many things waiting to be discovered.
