#SatSpanks From Her Birthday Wish

Hope all my friends in the US are recovering from a fantastic Thanksgiving. And for everyone else in the world, I'm just glad you're here. :)

This week's snippet is from Her Birthday Spanking (Formerly known as The Birthday Wish and Wishing For A Spanking). This poor little book got put in the naughty adult area of Amazon, but now w/a new cover (no more butts!) and title, I'm hoping more people will enjoy it.

And to make it easier to enjoy, as part of the Spanksgivng Sale (9 books by 4 authors all 99 cents each this weekend), the price has been lowered to 99 cents. You can find links to all the sale books here.

Now...on with the spanking! Actually, this snippet is about corner time. Enjoy!

His scent, a mixture of musky cologne and one hundred percent grade A male, filled her nostrils and sent a zinger through her body to her hoohaw. 

“I forgot one of the rules of corner time.” He slid his hands inside the slit of her dress, hooked his thumbs into her panties and gave them a quick yank down to her knees.

Like pulling the cork on fine wine, aroma filled the room. Paolo stood behind her, his hard chest pressing against her bare back. She heard him inhale deeply. “Ah, my Mimi, you are all woman.” He pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder.

Mimi bit her lips to squelch a moan, but a tiny sound came from deep in her throat.

Two quick swats stung her backside. “Corner time is quiet time. There will be time for your moans…later. ” 

Spanksgiving Sale and Book Club Update

Happy Friday!

First, Spanking Stories Book Club is not meeting today. If you check the schedule in the side bar you'll see that today is scheduled for reading and staying in your pajamas. Feel free to cite me as authority on that if you need back up for your plan to lounge around and read.

Today is the first day of the Spanksgiving Sale which features 9 books by 4 different authors, all at 99 cents each. Click on the photo in the sidebar or the tab at the top of the page for details and buy links. Great Spanks at a Great Price. Don't miss out!

You may have noticed that I haven't scheduled any books for the Spanking Stories Book Club for December. I was going to, but then I felt overwhelmed and thought that perhaps you, my loyal readers, might have some of the same holiday panic setting in.

Instead, I am going to do a few different things each Friday. I welcome your participation, but you won't need to read any specific books to participate.

Happy Thanksgiving

I just want to take a minute to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and to tell you all how unbelievably thankful I am for all your kindness, love and support.

House of Pain by Tara Crescent

The House of Pain – Release Tour

Title: The House of Pain (A BDSM Romance Novel)

Author: Tara Crescent

Genre: BDSM Romance, Erotic Contemporary Romance

Elements: BDSM-lite, Spanking, Flogging

Release Date: November 10, 2013

Blurb:

Sara White is outwardly a good girl; she follows the rules; works in a professional office; has a boyfriend who treats her with consideration. However, deep inside her, there’s a craving for pain, a desire to be spanked and whipped, to be submissive, to be controlled. 

One day, she walks into the House of Pain, a sex store in Toronto that also does shows in the back, where women are whipped and spanked in front of an audience. Transfixed by the idea, she signs up. 

Doug Patterson has met Sara at work, but discovers a whole new side of her when he sees her at the House of Pain. He approaches her and suggests Sara become his submissive. Sara is attracted to Doug; but afraid of complication. 

Will Sara surrender to Doug, and yield to her desire to be submissive? 

Contains BDSM, flogging, anal sex, and much more... 

Excerpt:

Tara’s note: This is Sara’s second show at the House of Pain…

There’s some music playing; it is some kind of dystopian trance/electronic music that softly pulses in the room. The music fits the scene well.

I’m already on stage when the curtain is raised. This time, I’m hanging suspended from the ceiling, facing the floor; my breasts are tightly bound together, and they are rapidly reddening and ballooning under this treatment; my arms are drawn back in a cruel tie; my hair has somehow been woven through the bindings so that I can’t slump my head; my calves are tied tight to my knees, and my legs are spread open, and tied in place.

There are cameras on the floor, ready to project my every quiver and moan on the screens off the side.

I’m already in a bit of pain; the rope is cruel, and my body is contorted for the viewing pleasure of the audience.

I am utterly helpless, and I love it.

The music increases in volume; it is now filling the room in a stormy crescendo. And then, silence.

Utter, perfect silence. The eyes of the audience are upon me, and though I can’t see them; I feel their hunger in the air.

The feel of this show is different. In the last one, John was joking with the audience; the audience was hollering, whistling, cheering. This show will be different; John has said. This one will be more solemn; there’s a sense of ritual in the air. There is a spotlight on me; and the screens off to the side are lit as well, but the stage is otherwise dark.

Crack.

Out of nowhere, the flogger has struck my ass.

About Tara:

Hello, I’m Tara Cresent. I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading a secret double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!

Sort of.

By day, I’m a mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited only by my imagination; I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and romance.

In my spare time, I write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost never clean. I just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica, anyone?), and I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would kill for a TARDIS.)

I’ve scribbled bits and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading, which tends to be mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling of romance and erotica thrown in.

I’m a huge believer in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where happily-ever-after is possible, but takes work.  My favorite kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat believable; I like strong men and women who know what they want out of life, and are driven to get it.

From time to time, I blog about what I’m writing at http://www.taracrescent.com. The blog is also where I post book excerpts; highlight information about upcoming promotions, and so on and so forth. Follow me there to keep up with all the fun!

#SatSpanks Lip Smackin' Good

Happy Saturday! Lady Katherine's Conundrum is now available! 

This week we are continuing from last week. 

 A stinging bottom, a sopping pussy, and tits that had been scrubbed, tugged and slapped. How much more could she take?

A slow trickle of desire meandered down her leg.

                Thomas scooped up the liquid on his finger tip then stroked the slick gloss across his wife’s lips. “Have you ever tasted yourself, my lady?”

“N-no, I have not.” She felt simultaneously horrified and aroused. Tentatively, she brushed her tongue across her lips while holding her gaze on him. His eyes darkened with passion and encouraged her. She sucked her lips into her mouth and savored the essence of her being. 


Blurb: She's back and she's in trouble. 

After a summer in the country Lady Katherine and her husband, Thomas, return to London to participate in all the festivities available to a Lord and his Lady. The scandal that forced them to marry is long forgotten and they are at the top of the social ladder. 

In addition to the pleasures of an active social life, Lady Katherine is thrilled to learn that the friend who abandoned her in her time of need, Lady Lorena Arnold, is now the subject of a salacious scandal. Katherine can hardly believe her good fortune when she observes Lady Arnold en route to a tryst. But, before she can share the juicy tidbit with the other ladies of the ton, her husband lays down the law: No Gossip. 

Will Katherine be able to keep her tale to herself? And if not, will her tail be at risk of a brisk spanking from the stern but loving Lord Winchester? 

Note: This book is a sequel to Lady Katherine's Comeuppance, but can be read on its own.

Further note: This book contains hot sex, erotic and disciplinary spankings.

Spanking Stories Book Club: Cursed Waters by Casey McKay

Before we get to the festivities, I want to let you know that I am at Normandie Alleman's blog today talking about Lady Katherine's Conundrum. Click here to visit. 

I'm proud to say that this was my first zombie apocalypse story and I enjoyed it. Look at me, moving outside my comfort zone! 

Cursed Waters by Casey McKay

Blurb: Roxy Wilson is going through the motions. She's running her deceased grandmother's psychic readings shop, but she's not a psychic. Hoping to expand and just become a gift shop, she contacts her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Dale. Only she doesn't anticipate the feelings she's still having for him after four years of separation. 
Trevor could never get Roxy out of his system, and now with her so close to him again, he's reluctant to let her go. But a 40 year- old curse involving evil spells and zombies overtaking the small, seaside town of Ocean Pointe may put a stop to any sort of romantic reunion. 
Can Roxy and Trevor break the curse and save their town from zombies? Find out in Cursed Waters! 
Warning: This book contains spankings and anal play between two consenting adults. If you are offended by this subject matter, please do not read this. 

This was a fun read that included zombies. a character named Seaweed, psychics/magic and a woman named Mrs. Grindle. 

As a writer who struggles to come up with names for characters, I tip my hat to Casey McKay for some great character names. 

There were a couple of things that I noted as I read it. First, there's a fun scene at about the 67% mark where Trevor is spanking Roxy and thinks she's crying, but it turns out that she's laughing. This scene is from Trevor's point of view so we see him start to doubt his abilities and admit (to himself) that he's making this up as he goes along. He recovers and orders her to the corner, but this was cute. 

Question---have you ever found yourself laughing at a time when you really shouldn't have? Spanking, sex, church, funerals. Please share your inappropriate behavior! 

I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but at a critical point in the story, Trevor leaves saying he can't stand to watch Roxy endanger herself. When he returns, he apologizes, but Roxy says she's glad he left. She realized that she had to face her duty to try to stop the zombie apocalypse and was willing to do it without him if necessary. 

Part of the problems that had caused Roxy and Trevor to break up four years before (and their continuing issue now) was the fact that Roxy thought Trevor was trying to control her life. This was a sweet and important scene that showed Roxy sort of realizing her own power and that it wasn't a weakness to allow Trevor to be part of her life (again, I'm paraphrasing so my apologies if I don't have the whole thing exactly right). 

Question---do you sometimes think that heroines give in too soon to the hero? Is that realistic? Here the hero didn't force her to comply with his wishes and then even realized he was wrong, despite his desire to protect Roxy. Do we want to read realistic (even w/zombies) or do we want more unrealistic? 

More questions: 

• Roxy and Trevor set out to fight zombies with an assortment of items from Roxy's apartment. If you had to fight zombies, what would you take from your house to use as a weapon? 
• 
  
• Psychics and curses---are you a believer or a skeptic? 
• 
  
• Which is a better character name: Seaweed or Mrs. Grindle? 

Answering To Him by Dinah McLeod

Please welcome Dinah McLeod who is here to talk about the appeal of spnaking and her latest book, Answering to Him. 

I have loved all the books I’ve written; each of them is special to me in different ways and “Answering to Him” is no exception. This book holds something very dear and personal to me, as might be the case with some of you readers: the plight of being a closet spanko. Like Alicia in the book, I also read and reread stories that “just happened” to have spanking scenes. Like her, I also waited until several years into my marriage to confess these secret desires. I think often of how blessed I am to be in a community of wonderful authors who encourage and indulge my Spanko tendency. Hopefully I am helping other readers out there indulge in theirs!

Ever since I could remember, I had been trapped by a single word: spanking. For some reason that I couldn’t begin to explain those two syllables had a knee-weakening power over me. Every time I heard them, my stomach flipped in a way that was as exciting as it was puzzling. I could still remember, with vivid recall, a moment in the supermarket when, out of the corner of my eye, I’d seen a man yank his wife’s arm, drawing her close to him. I’d turned toward the scene, wondering what was going on. The husband had bent his head, hissing in her ear, just loud enough for me, standing two feet away to hear: “You’re getting a spanking when we get home, young lady! Yes, I’m going to make sure you won’t sit comfortably for a while!”

            Although never one to enjoy my own parental punishments, I’d still felt my tummy launch into a series of startling flips that made my pulse speed up. I didn’t understand it, but I felt my cheeks heat up with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement. Almost three decades later I could still remember the flush of anger on that man’s face and the remorseful tears that had filled his wife’s eyes. The memory still filled me with a sense of eager anticipation and unexplainable shame.

            If ever I happened to be reading a book and happened to come across a spanking taking place, my body would jolt at the unexpected treasure, and I would read and reread the scene over and over again, memorizing the page numbers and savoring every word. I’d looked up the word spanking in the dictionary more times than I could count, and knew the definition by heart: to strike especially on the buttocks with the open hand. See also thrash and whip. Such simple words, and yet the emotion they inspired in me was profound.

This snippet follows last week's. 

He stood before her, his eyes holding hers in a seductive gaze, while he ran the bristles of the brush slowly across her breasts. Katherine wanted to reach out to him, to clasp his head between her hands and drag his mouth down to her throbbing breasts, but she had learned that in these situations, and most of life, Thomas was in charge.

She would not have it any other way.

The bristles continued to tantalize her nipples and Katherine found herself swaying toward her husband, her eyes half-closed...

Pressure on her womanhood caused her to open her eyes, Thomas was stroking the hair there with the brush and she giggled.

“You think that’s funny, do you?” He tapped her legs open wider and moved the brush to stroke across the inflamed lips of her vagina with the bristles, she gasped and clasped his arm to steady herself.

“What do you suppose the fine members of London society, whose opinion means so much to you, would think if they saw you being pleasured by a hair brush?” 

Blurb: She’s back and she’s in trouble.

After a summer in the country Lady Katherine and her husband, Thomas, return to London to participate in all the festivities available to a Lord and his Lady. The scandal that forced them to marry is long forgotten and they are at the top of the social ladder.

In addition to the pleasures of an active social life, Lady Katherine is thrilled to learn that the friend who abandoned her in her time of need, Lady Lorena Arnold, is now the subject of a salacious scandal. Katherine can hardly believe her good fortune when she observes Lady Arnold en route to a tryst. But, before she can share the juicy tidbit with the other ladies of the ton, her husband lays down the law: No Gossip.

Note: This book is a sequel to Lady Katherine’s Comeuppance, but can be read on its own.

Further note: This book contains hot sex, erotic and disciplinary spankings. 

Spanking Stories Book Club: Breeder by Cara Bristol

Today we are talking about Breeder by Cara Bristol. This book was so interesting that I am hoping (expecting?) some good discussion today, so don't let me down!

To secure his legacy, Commander Dak, a ruling Alpha of planet Parseon, purchases Omra, a breeder slave. He intends to impregnate her, produce a son, and hand her off to his anointed beta partner. As Dak and Omra discover a sexual bliss banned by his world's law, he begins to question the traditions and ways of his people, causing him to jeopardize his command and endanger the life of the woman he has come to love.



This certainly was not your typical spanking story. I'll admit I am not a fan of sci-fi so I would never have even considered reading this if it weren't written by Cara Bristol. When she started teasing this book on her blog I basically thought "Well, I'll be a good egg and read Cara's sci-fi book but I bet I won't like it." 

Then I read more of the Sat Spanks and other excerpts and I actually found myself checking the calendar to see if it was October 15 yet. I scooped up a copy the first day and started reading. 

I'm not even sure where to begin but I do have a couple questions to get things started. 

• If you're not a sci-fi fan, did this book still appeal to you? And vice versa?
• There have been a couple of folks on Amazon (a very small number) who were bothered by the m/m sex in the book. What about you? Did it bother you? Did you like it? Did it add to the story? 
• I liked the fact that the women on Parseon did not have periods and did not have body hair (other than on their heads). If you were creating a world, what changes would you make? 
• What were your reactions to the gender roles on Parseon? Did it make you wonder what lead to the Protocol which decreed that women were incapable of learning or feeling sexual pleasure and were really only kept around because men hadn't figured out how to reproduce without them? 

I know that lots of people have thoughts on this book so I won't start with too many questions, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.

In this Excerpt, Aubrey receives a spanking…

© Touch My Heart, Paloma Beck, 2013

I’d not yet used a paddle–or any other instrument besides my hand-on Aubrey but tonight seemed appropriate. This was a punishment and she didn’t deserve the reassurance of my skin against hers. I knew that Aubrey enjoyed my spankings so it was important to distinguish the types of spankings I gave.

I returned and tapped the plug before speaking, “This is a spanking paddle. Isn’t it beautiful?” I held the black leather paddle I’d bought for her in front of her face so she could see it.

She shivered and responded perfectly. “Yes sir.” Her voice was a beautiful whisper.

I ran the paddle along her jaw, tracing from ear to ear, and watched her inhale its scent. Shit, that was hot. I wanted to see her do that again, to watch as her chest pulled in and then out again. “Smell it. It’s like ambrosia, don’t you think so?”

The scent reminded me of Aubrey, of the times we’d spend in these intimate settings. Combined with the tamer scent of the ropes and the earthy scent of her arousal, the leather wove itself into a bouquet that rocked my world. It was the rich scent of sexual ambrosia and I was salivating to increase the fragrance.

“No sir,” she answered. Well, at least this time she was being honest.

“I suppose you can’t appreciate its beauty right now.” I inhaled the fragrant leather again before I placed the paddle to her lips. “Kiss it and accept your punishment.” This had become our standard protocol for punishments. It was important to me that she accepted the punishment so we could use it as resolution and then move forward.

When she followed my command, the caress of her pink lips on the leather sent a jolt of white hot heat through my body. I adjusted myself and gave myself an internal pep talk. My release would come but first, this needed to be dealt with.

“Tell me why you’re being punished.”

“To remind me not to run when I get scared.”

“Right. This punishment will be harsher than you’ve experienced before because your offense was worse. You ran from me, from us. You cannot run. I want you to think of this paddle on your flesh the next time you consider running.” I rubbed her ass with the paddle, drawing circles on each cheek as I continued. “But also know that when this punishment is done, all is forgiven. We move on and focus on our future.”

TODAY’s QUESTION

Which would you choose... bare hand or paddle?

Saturday Spankings from Lady Katherine's Conundrum

The hairbrush makes an appearance in Lady Katherine's Conundrum (Available on November 13!). 

The handle of the brush pushed further along the crease of her buttocks, drifted over her bottom hole, and glided across the slickness of her womanhood. 

“I believe,” Thomas’ voice rumbled low and thick, “that you have agreed to five swats from the brush in exchange for postponing our lovemaking to after dark, which is apparently the time that you believe is proper for such activities, is that correct?”

“Yes, my lord,” she said, her voice a creaky whisper. 

“And you believe this is some sort of punishment, is that right?” He wiggled the brush between her legs so that she had no choice but to open them wider.  

“Yes, my lord.” 

“Is it not possible,” he queried “that a spanking could be enjoyable as well?” He stroked the bristles of the brush along the tender flesh on the inside of her thigh. “In fact, I believe that you often find great sexual pleasure in having your bottom chastised, is that not correct?”

Lady Katherine's Conundrum Blurb:

She’s back and she’s in trouble.

            After a summer in the country Lady Katherine and her husband, Thomas, return to London to participate in all the festivities available to a Lord and his Lady. The scandal that forced them to marry is long forgotten and they are at the top of the social ladder.

           In addition to the pleasures of an active social life, Lady Katherine is thrilled to learn that the friend who abandoned her in her time of need, Lady Lorena Arnold, is now the subject of a salacious scandal. Katherine can hardly believe her good fortune when she observes Lady Arnold en route to a tryst. But, before she can share the juicy tidbit with the other ladies of the ton, her husband lays down the law: No Gossip.

         Will Katherine be able to keep her tale to herself? And if not, will her tail be at risk of a brisk spanking from the stern but loving Lord Winchester?

Note: This book is a sequel to Lady Katherine’s Comeuppance, but can be read on its own.

Further note: This book contains hot sex, erotic and disciplinary spankings.

Spanking Stories Book Club: The Winner (Romantek) by Patricia Green

Happy Friday!

We're taking a trip into the future and to the past with The Winner (Romantek) by Patricia Green.

Blurb: Audrey Beacon is a winner. Because of her slogan writing ability, she's won a fabulous vacation - one which only the rich and famous get to experience. It's a big leap for her; she's a small town girl, in a dull dead-end job; she's never had an adventure. Nevertheless, she accepts the prize and is whisked away to a fabulous cruise ship and then the prize: a RAVE - a dream-generated reality adventure. She picks a time-travel RAVE, and goes to 1850s Nebraska. 

While in her old West adventure, Audrey meets White Star Smith, a Native American man who has little tolerance for undisciplined females. He's not hesitant to show his displeasure in order to help Audrey improve her attitude and behavior. Audrey feels totally free to let go for the first time in her controlled, unadventurous life, because of course White Star isn't real. In short order, Audrey is in love. 

Coming back to the real world is tough, and gets harder when Audrey realizes that White Star might actually be a real person. So what was he doing in Audrey's RAVE? That was not part of the deal! 

Can he love her, despite her low social status? Can she show him that she loves him, or is her heart too much to risk?

This was a romantic and thought provoking story. During the RAVE Audrey is in a dream generated adventure, but she knows it, so we get to watch her navigate 1850's Nebraska with her 22nd century mind. 

It's fun to think about what the future is like and probably even more fun to write about it. According to Patricia Green, in the 22nd century, rice and mashed potatoes will be a luxury. I think mashed potatoes are now, but that's just me. 

During the RAVE Audrey meets White Star Smith, a Native American man. She assumes he's part of the cast of her adventure and shy Audrey turns into the vixen of Pollyville. 

Poor White Star. He wants to stay away from Audrey, but she keeps screwing up and needs spanking and he also can't keep his hands off her. 

But, what happens when Audrey returns to reality and finds out that White Star was another RAVE client whose adventure was combined with her own? 

My questions: 

• If you could time travel, where would you go? 
• Romantek, the company that produces the RAVE, implants a chip into the brains of participants a week before they go in order to learn their subconscious desires. If that happened to you, do you think you might be surprised at what they find out about you? 
• What is it that's so appealing about Westerns and cowboys? 
• During the adventure, Audrey behaves very differently from her 'normal' self. When you go on vacation, do you act differently from your usual day to day self? 

Any other thoughts on this book? 

Next Week---Breeder by Cara Bristol. 

November 22--- Cursed Waters by Casey McKay

Calling All November New Releases

I had such a good time in October featuring new releases that I want to do a monthly roundup. So, if you have a book being released (any genre) this month (November, 2013) and would like to be included, please send me the blurb, buy links and cover art at celestejones215 at rocketmail dot com. I won't be able to do excerpts since I expect there will be a large number of books (I hope). Please write November New Release Roundup in the subject line to lessen the possibility that I'll screw up and lose your info.

The post will go up on Sunday, December 1, so come back then and check out all the latest books.



Spanking Stories Book Club reminder. We'll be talking about Patricia Green's The Winner (Romantek) this Friday, November 8.












On Friday, November 15 we'll be talking about Cara Bristol's Breeder.

Both discussions will be out of this world. Yuck, yuck.

My Thoughts on "Coming Out" To Friends

A recent discussion on Facebook sparked a few thoughts that I'd like to share.

Last summer I had a wonderful weekend with my three closest friends. Before the trip I debated the wisdom of sharing my secret life as Celeste Jones with them and when an opportunity presented itself, I came clean, so to speak.

They were thrilled. I still get a little goose-bumpy when I think about how excited they were for me. I'm sure they are still excited and happy for me, but if I am honest, I'll have to say that I've been a little disappointed in the aftermath.

Perhaps this conversation is illustrative.

Me (excited): I'm so excited. My book is at #5000 on Amazon.

Friend (excited): You've sold 5000 books? OMG.

Me: No, that's my Amazon rank. Selling 5000 books in a week or two, or ever, would be pretty extraordinary.

Friend (disappointed): Oh.

Me (desperate to make her understand or at least be impressed): Well, of the two million books on Amazon, mine is selling better than 1,995,000.

Friend: Oh.

Now, is this person a bad friend? Absolutely not. In fact, I'd put my friends up against anybody's friends in a challenge of loyalty, love, support, and damn funny. We'd lose any athletic competition, but in the real friend category we're ass-kickers.

But, I was still disappointed that she couldn't really share my excitement.

However, I've given it some thought and here's what I've come up with.

Imagine having this conversation.

You: OMG. Little Timmy just smiled at me for the first time. All the books say babies don't smile until six weeks but he's only four weeks old.

Your Friend Who Doesn't Have A Child: Oh, that's exciting.

You: Don't you get it? He SMILED. Two weeks ahead of schedule. He smiled at ME. He knows I'm his mommy.

Your FWDHAC (trying really hard understand what the big deal is): That's great. You should take a picture and put it on Facebook.

Now, imagine having that same conversation with someone who has a child. Would it be different? Probably. Is one a better friend than the other? No, they are just different.

And maybe that's my point. It's unrealistic for me to expect a friend who has never written fiction to understand my life as a writer, just like it's unrealistic to expect a childless friend to understand the joys of parenting. Unless you've had the experience, it's hard to appreciate it in the same way as someone who has.

So, if you are a writer thinking about coming out to your friends, I offer the following (unsolicited) advice.

Ask yourself why you want to share. For me, I knew I was going into a weekend that was going to include lots of sharing and laughter. Could I really go and not talk about a significant and important part of my life?

Sometimes I want to share to brag or prove a point. I'm glad I haven't done it in those situations because I don't think it ever goes well when your motivation is rather self-serving.

I think it would be wonderful to be able to have a friend who knows me so well, much more than I could ever share as Celeste, with whom I can talk about writing and story ideas and marketing plans. But, in general (you know your friends best) I'm not sure if that's realistic.

It's uncomfortable to live a secret life. Making up stories about how you spend your time. I have a vanilla friend who has written and self-pubbed some books. I have to be so careful when I talk to her because I don't want to let on just how much I know about the subject. I don't like being secretive and I'm not really very good at it, so mostly I try to keep quiet (I'm not very good at that either).

You're excited and proud (as you should be). It's natural to want to share great events in your life with the people you care about. But maybe you don't need to share it with all of them.

I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from sharing and in fact, I encourage you to do so if you've really thought it through, in particular think about your motivation and whether what you hope to get is realistic.

My point here is to give you some food for thought.

If you do share, I hope you'll come back and tell me how it went.

For those of you who have come out---how did it go? Would you do it differently if you had to do it again?
