After starting three very different books, I'm in the final stages of finishing one. Breathless has been an amazing journey for me as a writer. All going well, it will be published earlier than expected, next Thursday 10th November.

Writing this book has taught me more about human nature than any other book I've written to date. This is mostly thanks to the support and encouragement I've had from friends and followers on Goodreads. There are too many to name, but you know who you are. Thank you.

I wouldn't have been brave enough to write this collection without people understanding my stories are fantasies, safe outlets for the darker side of our nature, written purely for escapist entertainment.

Next, I want to thank Todd Salt for graciously allowing me to run with an idea he hinted at in his book Hangwoman Tales: An Erotic Horror Anthology. It's rare to meet a kindred spirit as an author writing in this genre, and he's one of the best.

Also, the collection features a fan request, which is a new thing for me. I enjoyed the challenge and am really thrilled how it came out.

Breathless isn't a new topic for me. Breath play is a classic fear fetish and it features in many of my books, but I rarely take it to the extreme. I hope you enjoy it.
