Top Ten Reasons To Write Erotic Novels

     I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for articles that promise to transform your life in six minutes or less.  The ones with the catchy titles, like Seven Dirty Things Your Lover Wants To Hear You Say in Bed.  I even find myself occasionally clicking on Five Halloween Costumes to Make From Dryer Lint, but that's only when I'm trying to avoid that blank page on my computer screen titled "Work in Progress - Chapter Four."

     So today I thought I'd steal a page from David Letterman and give you my top ten reasons to write erotic novels.  Here they are - in no particular order of importance.

1.  You can actually get paid for all those naughty fantasies you're always making up in your head.
2.  It's a great way to let your significant other (if you have one) know what you'd secretly like but don't have the guts to admit.
3.  It's a great way to get a significant other.  Just try saying "Me? Oh, I write erotic romances about spanking and domination" in a crowded room.
4.  You can save a fortune on therapy by working out your daddy( or mommy ) issues on paper
5.   The fantasies you write are always perfect.  No one's going to go off-script, like they often do in real life.  (eg.  "Baby, let's have your hot girlfriend Ashley come over and BOTH of you can suck my cock while I watch football.  Doesn't that sound like fun?)
6.  Everyone has a happy ending and the orgasms are always fantastic
7.  It will give you something useful to do when there's nothing good on TV
8.  You can read other dirty books and call it research
9.  You can deduct sex toys as business expenses.

and finally
10.  It's nice to find out you're not the only one in the world who gets off on your special kink.  Whatever it may be, you'll find others who love it too, and accept you without judging.  And like the commercial says, that's priceless.

I've Been Bared and Tamed in Front of Everyone !

      I'm so excited that readers are enjoying my new release Bared and Tamed.  It's been on three Top 100  Lists on Amazon, including Top Romantic Erotica and after a month, it's still one of Amazon's Top 100 BDSM Erotica best sellers.  Rylie is one of my favorite heroines and her story was so much fun to write.
     My characters tell me about themselves little by little over the course of a book and  Rylie was fascinating to get to know.  Here's what one reviewer had to say about her:

★★★★★ SH @ Amazon.com "Click and Buy, Seriously!!"

This is one seriously hot book! A fantastic plot concept and it is so well written, I could just imagine it happening in real life. Rylie made me laugh, seriously makes you think about drinking too much alcohol, and I just loved Neill. It took Rylie a while to realize that Neill was not the typical man that she was used to dealing with and oh, was it fun to watch her come to that realization! Loved this book !

Geoffrey's Rules by Emily Tilton - A young woman explores her hidden hungers in the world of hot BDSM

Today I'm reviewing Emily Tilton's hot BDSM tale Geoffrey's Rules.  

Along with describing scenes of raw passion and strict punishment, Emily loves to explore the limits, the boundaries, the why and even the why not behind BDSM relationships.  Geoffrey’s Rules is a detailed, highly erotic account of one young woman’s journey from forbidden desires to sometimes guilty fulfillment of her need to be taken in hand by a dominant male.

Chloe is a young college student, a secret spanko devouring erotica alone in her bed, dreaming of finding the perfect man who will fulfill all her submissive fantasies.  Geoffrey is an intelligent, successful businessman who is also a forceful Dom and he makes no secret about it.  When Chloe meets Geoffrey under embarrassing circumstances, she discovers that she is intrigued by his frank assessment of her as someone who needs to be punished for her shameful behavior - and that he's just the man to take on the job. 

From the beginning, Geoffrey makes it clear that strictly following his rules is Chloe's only role in their relationship and he’s more than willing to punish her naughty bottom when she doesn’t.  She finds herself leading a double life as a feisty, outspoken grad student who spends her weekends kneeling naked at the feet of a powerful, sometimes arrogant man. Over time she finds herself relishing her role as submissive, while being torn by her need to be treated as an equal partner in the rest of their life together.   

This is a long book and it delves into Chloe’s underlying thoughts about being in a D/s relationship and what it means to her as a modern woman making her own way in the world.  If you’re looking for light reading that you can skim through for the scenes that get you hot, there are plenty of those.  But if you ever ask yourself why real women enter willingly into D/s relationships and how those relationships can work in the day-to-day world of business and home life, you'll be fascinated by the way the interactions between Chloe and Geoffrey grow and change over time.

         

Welcome to Kallista's World

My name is Kallista.  Like my legendary ancestor Scherezade, I cannot dance or sing or play an instrument. I have but one talent - I am a weaver of words.

If you seek chronicles of maidenly virtue and innocent romance, go no further.

But if you yearn to be entertained with exotic escapades that will fill your Soul with passion, sensual tales of lustful desires, bold adventures where powerful males clash with impetuous, headstrong women, then join me as we explore the many dimensions of love and romance.

As for my story, I've been married to the love of my life for over 25 years and it just keeps getting better and better. We've been through great times and tough times, through nighttime feedings and teenage rebellions, through richer and poorer, just like in those vows.  Take it from me, richer doesn't always mean happier!

But through it all, we've kept the passion alive in our relationship.  I don't know how other couples do it, but as for me, I tell him stories - very naughty stories. Sometimes ( if I'm lucky!) my naughty fantasies earn me a spanking.  Other times, if the tale is really wicked, we may take it from fantasy to reality.  Those are the stories my husband likes best!

Some of the best scenes in my books are based on real experiences we've had.  But I won't confess all my secrets here...at least not today.

What do I believe? 

I believe you can live happily ever after - most of the time.  Other times, life gets in the way, with all its messy crises.

I believe you can survive any crisis, if you trust in the Universe and look for the good in every person and situation.

I believe that choosing someone to spend your life with who is smart and funny and kind is more important than choosing someone who is rich and attractive.

I believe staying married is the hardest job there is.  Even harder than being a parent.  If you have kids, they'll be gone some day but you'll still be looking at each other over the breakfast table.

I believe that love transcends the boundaries of space and time.  The people you love have been with you before, and they will be with you again.

I believe in Angels.  I've seen them at work in my life.  I even got a phone call from one...but as Scheherezade would say, that's a story for tomorrow.
