My first book that isn't my first book

I’m very excited. Today Samhain releases my second book; or, as I prefer to think of it, my first book that isn’t my first book.

I was also very excited about my first book, but this one feels even better. I think it’s because this is actually the first one I wrote. And I wrote it for someone special. Which was the first time I ever wrote an entire book for someone else. (Although not the last time!)

La Ceinture is about a plain leather belt, and all the many, many different things a belt can mean (and ways it can be used – if I missed any, let me know…). But mostly it is a story about what keeps people apart and what brings them together. When I wrote it, S.C. was still on the other side of the world (quite literally!). Happily, that is no longer the case.

The story is also quite dark, which might or might not have anything to do with the number of editors (3) it consumed before being published. Although I trust Samhain’s readers are made of sturdier stuff, there’s no harm in warning you that it’s not the light, fluffy romp that La Bonne was.

To find more heated words (the good kind of heat), join me and my fellow Samhain erotica writers over at Passionate Prose.
