    Bookcoverlarge11About 50 Shades Of Curious: BDSM For Beginners:

    In his new book, 50 Shades of Curious- BDSM for Beginners, America’s favorite Fifty Shades of Grey coach, BDSM educator Bo Blaze, PCC draws from his over 20 years of experience to provide an accessible introduction to the mysterious worlds of kinky sex and BDSM. Written for a diverse audience and friendly to those who have little to no experience with concepts like dominance and submission or S&M, the book discusses the ins and outs of the physical, psychological, emotional, and technical aspects of BDSM and serves as an indispensible primer to those who want to introduce kink to their sex lives, but are not sure where to seek guidance. Readers will learn about terminology and relationship models. They will discover play techniques, contexts, and implements. They will learn about safety, healthy communication, and the joys and potential pitfalls of exploring their fantasies. And they will benefit from the author’s detailed and fascinating discussion of issues like pain & punishment, monogamy & ethical non-monogamy, and self acceptance. No other book on the market offers such a comprehensive inroad into BDSM and alternative lifestyles…nor one as engaging and honest.

  2. Even More Ketchup than Salsa: The Final Dollop

    82744_2522218_217237_imageAbout Even More Ketchup than Salsa: The Final Dollop:

    If the first six months of running the Smugglers Tavern had been a baptism of fire, the subsequent years were about as much fun as bobbing for apples in a vat of acid.

    Having swapped the tin roof of a cold British fish market for the sunny skies of a Spanish holiday island, Joe and Joy succeeded in thwarting the first wave of attacks from bungling bureaucrats, bewildered holidaymakers and their own spectacular ineptitude. What they didn’t realise was that their enemies were regrouping. Not only that, but those enemies had made camp a lot closer to home, enemies that would make their encounters with the exploding gas bottles, East European squatters and big-time Charlies featured in More Ketchup than Salsa seem like chapters from Enid Blyton.

    The trials and tribulations of attempting to make a better life abroad continue… with disastrous consequences.

  3. Itsy Bitsy Spider

    itsy_bitsy_cover-1About Itsy Bitsy Spider:

    While celebrities and politicians are often under the media’s microscope, their wealth and privilege allows them to carry many of their darkest secrets to the grave. Those in power have one goal: maintaining a squeaky clean image – whatever it takes. “Itsy Bitsy Spider” is a could-be-ripped-from-the-headlines tale that provides a chilling and stirring reminder of the real-life secrets that thousands in power work hard to hide from those closest to them.

    When Claire McCallin, step-daughter of the powerful Boston Mayor Jack McCallin, hears her three-year-old daughter singing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” her life begins to spiral out of control. And when McCallin finds Claire and his granddaughter missing from his Belmont mansion, fearing Claire is about to disclose his dark secret, McCallin sets out on a mission-one he hopes will silence his step-daughter and Boston Globe reporter Matt Christenson for good.

    Author Bio:
    After hearing stories of abuse for many years, I wondered why there were not stories from the wealthy and powerful as the disease has no boundaries and just does not affect lower-socio economic groups. I began to wonder how many of the rich and famous were able to cover their dark secrets because of their power – or power over their victims.

    In “Itsy Bitsy Spider” I wanted the character of Claire to take find her power. Her three year old daughter was the catalyst that made Claire know she not only needed to find her power, but protect her daughter.

    The courtroom drama thriller “Hush” will be available in December of 2013. This is also another angst topic that has to do with the gray areas of abortion I felt important to write about. When Claire and Ben fall in love, marry and are expecting their first child and Ben opens his adoption papers, their lives become a living nightmare from which there is no escape.

    Thriller “Lottery” will be published in the spring of 2014. Greed turns murderous over the largest mega-millions in the history of the lottery is about to be claimed. And when Caleb Gillespie finds the love of his life, he will do anything to protect Ling from knowing the truth.
