  1. Bringing My Own Worst Horrors to Life

    December 1, 2011 by Jessie Fitzgerald

    My upcoming release, Power Exchange, features a serial killer that is the most gruesome person that I can imagine. A serial killer that kills babies.

    Long before I became a mother, I became an older sister. And I mer my baby brother, and we had an unshakable bond. I am a neurotic piece of work, so the intense love for my brother spawned some intense paranoid fears. Since then, I have learned to control those insane thoughts, to a point, which is good news for my daughter, but still…I can’t see or think of something awful without being afraid of it happening to a baby, especially my baby. I wouldn’t be stretching things much to say I live in constant fear of bad things happening to babies, those innocent souls that need us.

    So, for Power Exchange, I am taking multiple trips down the roads of my own hell. I have always known that I would have to write about those things. I feel them so deeply that writing about them is cathartic. But even working on the prewriting scheduled this week has been tormenting me. I have to keep the nightmares at bay until I need them, and then I will pour them onto the page.

    On a less dramatic note, Equinox has had some major revisions, but still needs more work before the end of the month release. I am shivering with antici…

    Pation. :-)

    What horrific fears have paved the hellish roads of your nightmares? How do you find relief when your neuroses tortures you?


  2. The Trust Before Submission

    November 22, 2011 by Jessie Fitzgerald

    Working on December’s release, Equinox, has really magnified the delicacy of establishing trust before the power exchange of a D/s relationship. Sure, you could just grab a cane and take some whacks, heroes, and then insist all is well because she liked it, but then you aren’t my kind of hero.

    Equinox is a short story that is romantic, erotic and a tale beginning a D/s relationship. That’s a tall order, but it can be done. I have been paying more and more attention on how to introduce the dominance dynamic in a romantic relationship so that it can become a positive place for a power exchange. To me, romantic submission just has to come from a place of trust, so even if you are feeling lust, heroines, you still need to build trust in that hero and would-be Dom.

    What do you think of how the submissive’s trust is established in a BDSM erotic romance? How do you know that a submissive is realistically ready to explore the depths of being dominated?

    My answer is in the comments. Hope to see yours :-)


  3. Services Discontinued; Site Rebranding and Relaunch Next Week

    November 11, 2011 by Jessie Fitzgerald

    I have decided that writing fiction, for myself, is my ultimate desire, and am therefore discontinuing my services as an adult freelance writer.

    I will be relaunching and rebranding this site next week to serve as the home page for my indie publishing efforts.

    Please excuse the mess in between now and then! Thanks!
