The Steam Room

Hi Everybody!

As I do mundane things like dishes or laundry, I kick around writing ideas.  Last spring, I considered the concept that everyone has fantasies. Depending on your situation, those fantasies can have little to no chance of becoming reality. Perhaps you want to be tied up, but your significant other isn't into it. Maybe there's someone who makes you sigh with longing, but you don't have the courage to approach him or her. Then I decided it would be cool if there was a service whose sole (or soul) objective is to make those fantasies come true.

That's the birth story of the Safe Word: Oasis series.

So far, I have three novellas written and contracted to Loose Id. I'm working on the fourth, and I have an outline for the fifth. Because the series is founded on fantasy wishes, it's completely free of restrictions as far as characters and settings. Yes, Justin is set in rural Michigan. By My Side is set in California. Out of My League is set in the UP, rural Michigan, and a Caribbean island. Of course, there are some commonalities. For example, everyone's safe word is "oasis." 

Oasis works like this:( Customers submit their wish. During the selection process, they fill out mountains of paperwork the detail their preferences and limits. Once everything is in order, Oasis arranges for the wish to come true. Of course, there's always a twist. Oasis might advertise short-term fantasy fulfillment, but they're really a bait-and-switch operation. They will fulfill the wish in a way that gives the wishers what they need for long-term happiness.

The term oasis invokes a safe little bubble where you can feel free to explore those deep, dark urges you keep hidden from the rest of the world. It opens the door for honest communication and interaction. It forces you to come to terms with what you want and what you're willing to do to get it.

In Yes, Justin, Trish just wants to go back to the point in her life where she was the focus of a man's time and attention. She married that man, but life changes got in the way. Work and kids conspire to keep them apart most of the time. Then she takes a chance and asks Oasis to send a dom to kidnap her and whisk her away to a cabin in the middle of nowhere to live out her BDSM fantasy.

It's only offered through Loose Id for the first few months, so if you're not willing to wait for it to hit other distributors (Amazon, Barnes and Noble) here's the direct link to Yes, Justin at Loose Id.

In reflecting on the characters of Trish and Justin, I think they're my favorite couple since Sabrina and Jonas of Letting Go. I really feel like I'm returning to my roots with this series, and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
