One area that I wanted to write about was S&M however writing about this subject within interracial relationships, especially with BW/WM and the female is the submissive…. you have to walk a very fine line.
Here’s the conflict: Trying to create a balance where a woman of color can refer to a White man as `Master,' without subjugation. And where White man can tie up the female, spank her and not come off as have plantation disease. In deed, this is difficult task to undertake without turning off readers.
My solution: Write strong characters. If the characters are strong individually when they do come together in a Dom/Sub scene it won’t come off as subjugation; it comes across as a natural flow of events. Developing two well rounded main characters with feelings, past, conflicts, careers and joining the characters together on equal footing as well as having an intimate connection between them made writing these stories flow better for me.
I wish that I could give you example without given away too much information about books and shorts but I will say this….if you are interested in softer S&M/Kink please be on the look out for my upcoming stories.
As I determine that I haven’t driven away all of my following I may go into harder areas but for now I’m happy with the way things are going…J

Tracy,
I bought "Seduce Me" when it came out (the first week). When will its sequel be released. You gave a teaser at the end of the book and I am so intrigued. Those characters were so strong and interesting, I can't wait until you tell their story. Thanks, Olga |

I'm gald you enjoyed the beginning to Edward and Sonya's story! Their story is almost complete and should be released between mid August and early Sept. Edward is my bad boy so I had to do him justice...;-) Their story has been an intense roller coaster ride but I've loved every minute of it. It's worth the wait.
