Maybe your friend likes mashed potatoes, but there’s nothing wrong with you choosing a loaded baked potato. Or if you’re not into statistics, just think of sexuality as a giant buffet. Each person has to find the place which fills her needs, from dominance to submission to giving or receiving pain to enjoying various kinds of kink. And that human sexuality takes place on a wide, wide continuum. So, my books are written from that point of view: submissives are not doormats. If I haven’t handed over control, then…well, there’s probably a reason that my daughter’s boyfriends were always more afraid of me than of her dad. Giving up power to someone is an act of will and of trust. First, I’m submissive if/when/and to whom I want, not all the time. He says, “You may tell them that there’s a reason that our bedroom door has a keypad lock on it, and leave it at that.” I know! What’s the fun in that? *pout* Let’s see…first, I’m not allowed to talk about ‘ stuff’ (my husband knows me well). Have you ever been involved in the BDSM subculture? If so, how have your experiences influenced your books? Your books resonate with realistic details of how the Doms and subs transition between their everyday lives to the world of BDSM. I was shocked (and almost appalled) when a publisher wanted the book. However, rather than a woman finding she’s in a haunted house, my story has the woman taking refuge in a very exclusive BDSM club. So, purely for my own therapy, I started a new story…one vaguely related to the tales of: It was a dark and stormy night. And I was miserable, feeling unfeminine and unsexy. But while I was writing one, I became ill for a far too long of a time. (For you writers out there-this is a typical example of the highs and lows of a writing career. My first published book was a western historical with a traditional publisher…and then the historical romance market completely died and I couldn’t sell another. I’ve been story-telling since I learned how fun it was to terrify my little sisters with ghost stories. Inquiring minds want to know what originally got you interested in writing BDSM erotic romance? And how long have you been writing? And, ooooo, love the couch! *snuggles down into a corner, stroking the leather* Welcome, Cherise, and thanks for being our guest today. She also happens to be one of my very favorite authors. This week the Ladies of Love, Lust, and Laptops have stored the purple velvet couch and broken out the black leather one for our very special guest, Cherise Sinclair, best-selling author of BDSM romance.
