About me? Honestly, my dears, I’d rather hear about you.
But, here goes: I live in the west with my beloved husband, two children, and various animals including three cats who rule the household. Over the years, I’ve lived in many states and worked at a multitude of jobs before settling down to writing. Finally meeting other authors was a huge relief; apparently I’m not the only person to have a mind populated with characters talking, arguing, and having hot sex.
So, enough about me; it’s time for the lecture. Did you know that was coming?
The books I write are fiction, not reality and, as in most romantic fiction, the romance is compressed into a very, very short time period.
You, my darlings, live in the real world and I want you to take a little more time in your romance. Good Doms don’t grow on trees and there’s some strange people out there. So while you’re looking for that special Dom, please, be careful.
When you find him, realize he can’t read your mind. Yes, frightening as it might be, you’re going to have to open up and talk to him. And you listen to him, in return. Share your hopes and fears, what you want from him, what scares you spitless. Okay, he may try to push your boundaries a little — he’s a Dom, after all — but you will have your safeword. You will have a safeword, am I clear? Use protection. Have a back-up person. Communicate.
Remember: safe, sane and consensual.
Know that I’m hoping you find that special, loving person who will understand your needs and hold you close. Let me know how you’re doing. I worry, you know.
And while you’re looking or if you’re already found your dearheart, come and hang-out with the Masters in Club Shadowlands
Love,
Cherise
