Actually, Intimate Bo...Thank you for your comments. Actually, Intimate Bondage was the first of my Kate Dawson books. I had read Erica James first Fifty Shades book, but was disappointed by its portrayal of a very sanitized version of BDSM. I wanted my version to capture the raw reality of BDSM, the lifestyle that many people practice in the underground clubs in San Francisco. (Note: Erica named Christian's therapist after me, Dr. John Flynn, in books 2 and 3. I am a clinical psychologist.) So, I went to the Black Rose in Washington, D.C. and honestly asked for the help of real Doms and submissives. They saw that I was sincere, and brought me into their realm. I learned the real deal from several coupled club members, not the bullshit of Christian and Anastasia. I wrote the character of Jay Monroe based upon myself; indeed I was a college professor and psychology department chair at one time in my career. In real time at the Black Rose, I did floggings, suspensions, rope play, leash work, roleplaying master-slave sex, psychological torture, etc. I wore leather chaps, leather vest and took on the role of Dom with several very willing female submissives. Everything was consensual, protected, and well beyond normal or what is often called "vanilla" sex. What I write about in the book is based upon real-time BDSM play. Jay Monroe teaches Kate Dawson how to be a Domme and submissive female, so she can try to beat the serial killer who is using the underground BDSM clubs to kill victims. Of course, Jay Monroe is a master manipulator and enjoys playing mind games with her. She gets mind-fucked by him. I imagine it would make an interesting movie, much more so than Fifty Shades. There is actually a plot. People are dying, and Kate Dawson must surrender herself to catch the serial killer. It is a very personal kind of story for her...part redemption and part about the kinds of people we are drawn to love. But then, in each of the books I've written about Kate, she has to sacrifice part of herself, that image she has created of herself, in order to find out something she didn't know about herself. In the books, I have her growing and changing with each new story. Eventually, she'll be the chief of police, but she's got to go through a lot before she gets there. BTW, Lenny is based on a real-life counterpart. He acts funny and provides comic relief, but then, in real life, my friend Lenny provides a laugh or two as well. Thank you for your interest in my work. I hope you'll start with Intimate Bondage and read the other three books in the series. I just finished book five, and Kate takes the first step on her way to police chief by taking over the Homicide Department as its leader. More to come...DrJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053566598313452702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634213138919637973.post-16530286900049358492017-09-14T14:28:53.424+03:002017-09-14T14:28:53.424+03:00Excellent post!

I think, "Intimate Bondage," appeals to you the most, because I enjoy stories with cops going undercover, I like the VIP CEO world, and I am intriguing by the S&M world scene. Looking forward to checking out these books!Ally Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478866573221215579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634213138919637973.post-60146877298130405472017-09-14T01:54:00.713+03:002017-09-14T01:54:00.713+03:00These all sound great.
