This is an author's website, and it's traditional in such places for the writer to at least try and convince you the visitor, that the books are jolly good and that you ought to buy them. I'll spare you that. If you're here, chances are it's via the link from either Saradora or Sarah Thorne, and you're on the hunt for a spanking story. Both those writers are big fans of mine and I'm grateful. Is there anything here worth seeing? Well, not on the Marianne page. That just gives the blurb on a book which nobody has heard of, despite the reviews it got. The same is broadly true of the Darker Sun page, though that book was a lot more successful in its day and there's a quite intriguing photo of a girl in full submission to her man, which is one of the two core themes of my novels. The reviews page? - that's standard fare on these sites. I've cherry-picked the nice things people have said and left out all the bad ones. The cherries are unusually plump and juicy only because my stuff tends to be loved by bright, literate, kinky people, while the average spanko-porno reader finds it boring as hell. 'Images' is pretty lame. Don't go there. 'Contact' is self-explanatory for all but the retarded, while the 'for A.M.' page is meaningless to everyone except one person with those initials, and the odds are high that person isn't you. This homepage has a pleasing paragraph of writing further down (if I do say so myself), under which is a truly fabulous photo, but the rest is just padding. Which only leaves the Velvet & Iron page, the best one in my view. The full title of this novel will be Velvet & Iron ~ the houseboy and The Master of Miss Julia de Valdois. That page starts with a sensational photo that made my jaw drop when I first saw it, underneath which are a few spanking-related excerpts to give a flavour of the story. And that's it - your tour is complete. Many thanks for stopping by.

About Marianne! ~ a Journey Round a Golden Sun "A wonderful, breathtaking read with entrancing characters and "Simon Lowrie is the Jane Austen for the bdsm set. 
 About Journey Round a Darker Sun "Intimate inspections, revealing postures, rituals of apology and correction, all the elements of formal dominance and submission are present, but none of the clichés. A masterpiece of erotic dominance. Julian Robinson ~ Clean Sheets "A lovely spiral into the depths of submission. Better even than Story of O." The Editor ~ Erotica Readers Association 
I started doing a sequel to Marianne! but stopped ages ago, partly because Marianne was a total flop, and even more because of other things. It was going to be a ménage à quatre story, sort-of. Here's an extract I liked and was rather proud of: “No, we’re eating out tonight, Sophie. Marianne – leave off now. Both of you – get tarted up. You’ve got half an hour or woe betide you.” But no pigs flew, and thirty minutes came and went. I went upstairs to join them in our room, where my contribution to the glamour consisted of putting a fresh shirt and tie on, followed by a suit. From start to finish, I was only several hundred seconds older. Somehow it doesn’t work like that for girls. Perhaps I’m the first person ever to notice this, but quite possibly I’m not. What to do? Well, what else except to lie contented on the common bed you share, as girls make their unfathomable progress from crysalis to butterflies, the alchemy of dresses, brushes, extraordinary processes with clips and zips and eyelashes, undeciding firm decisions and then deciding them again, talking, joking, choosing, moaning, losing things then finding them, wandering from the bathroom to the bedroom and then back again for no reason known to man, yet ending up quite dazzling from a baseline start of just their panties. I shook my head, not for the first time either, wondering how the hell there are still people in the world who think there's no such thing as magic.
