The first full novel I ever wrote is BOUND. It was also my first book with a Traditional New York Publisher.
WATCH ME was the next story I wrote for them, a novella that was published in the KINK anthology with Saskia Walker. After that came TROUBLE. When I started Trouble, the main character was one who had been a small secondary character in WM. then, Karl, who had been a secondary character in BOUND, showed up as the hero’s Best Friend.
At this point I’d like to state that I’ve never been a plotter. While I enjoy reading a series, I’d never written one, nor planned one. These were not planned as a series, yet somehow, at this time, it became clear that I’d sorta stumbled into one. Halfway through writing Trouble I emailed my editor and said “Hey, so uhmm, I kano the second book on thaw current contract is supposed to be the DJ and radio station guys, but remember Karl from Bound? Well, he’s in Trouble too, and I really think he needs his own book next.”
The awesomeness that is editor Cindy Hwang said go for it! And WICKED, along with what has become known as The Dungeon Series, was born.
The last story in the series (so far) is MY PREROGATIVE. Kelsey, the heroine, is the bartender at the hoe’s club from TROUBLE. So, even though the stories are not your typical series, and they are all stand alone ( as they were written that way by this panster who has no clue how to plot or plan) they are all connected by friendships and places.
BOUND was first released in 2006, and has been out-of-print for a few years. In fact, the only books in the series that are available in print right now are WICKED, and WATCH ME. Wicked because it’s the most popular in the series and Watch Me because when I got the rights back to the novella last year I re-released it in print and digital even though its only a novella. The digital version of Watch Me is available anywhere, but if you want print, it’s only at Amazon.
Why am I telling you all this now? Because Berkley has put the digital editions on sale, and now you have the chance to get the whole series CHEAP! Plus, if you’re attending this years Authors After Dark conference, this is a great way to prep for the Erotic Trivia Hour with Joey W. Hill and I that’s on Wednesday night. There’s going to be some great prizes, and the book Questions are worth double points…so reading the series can be considered studying. *wink*
