Shut The Front Door...A Perfect Dream is real. Not really. Kind of.

...or so I thought when I was reading this article about a women-only club, sex parties for the curious, mostly straight women.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2875795/Inside-Skirt-Club-Britain-s-elite-sex-club-straight-women.html

At a second glance, there are some problematic aspects for sure:

It's "a place for them to have a wild night playing with other like-minded girls before going back to their grown-up lives" one of the members is quoted, and that kind of statement grates, because being LGBT, being a lesbian, single or with a partner, is as grown-up as your straight life.

Still, the similarities to my series of novelettes is fascinating: The regular parties, the inquiries into the members lives, what's--according to the article--going on behind the scenes.

I had the idea for A Perfect Dream last summer while watching a couple visit a house that had some interesting features (if you want someone to have insights into your bedroom, that is). Most women who attend the parties don't do it in the hope of finding their soul mate either (Piper, A Second Chance), but I love romance, after all, and so the story of Beatrice and Sage has an unexpected ending. Hey, it's fiction. It also mattered to me to make a statement that hopefully comes across--many, not all women in those stories identify as lesbians, bi or come out in the process. This is not simply bending to the rules of society and patriarchy--it means the women have a safe space to find out who they really are, and what they want. In some cases, that might mean to try it, or meet someone, and never return.

For others, it's a place where they can live their preferences, watch others or be watched, menages, etc. without being judged.

I don't know if the club mentioned in the article offers all of that. It's reality. My works are fiction, and in them, I have the last word in everything.

Out now! Off Screen is available, a guest blog & coming attractions

Off Screen is out and available at Amazon! If you'd like to glimpse behind closed doors and meet the women who make naughty movies for the A Perfect Dream franchise...you're just a click away!

I've been a guest on Emily Byrne's blog as well, talking about the A Perfect Dream series, and writing erotica.

And, of course...the countdown has begun, and this holiday season I'll take part in two blog hops. Both will come with prizes, so stay tuned!

What to do with the rest of 2014...

First of all, thanks to everyone who downloaded A Second Chance during the free promotion! I'll definitely plan to do it again over Christmas. Why not go back to A Perfect Dream this time?

I'll also have at least one more new release for you: Off Screen, a  standalone story within the universe of A Perfect Dream.

Jasmine and Autumn star in the movies that the party guests at A Perfect Dream enjoy, romantic, steamy, toe-curling—it’s all for the camera. Working within the A Perfect Dream franchise gives them more liberty than they could find anywhere else in the industry, and it pays for tuition and renovation costs. Their lives become a little more complicated when real emotions come into play…

 

Off Screen will be released on December 2nd, and there will be others to follow, with the characters you already met in A Perfect Dream and A Second Chance.

HAPPY SEXY HALLOWEEN!

A Second Chance is available for pre-order!

Are you ready for a sexy Halloween party at A Perfect Dream? If you'd like to join Piper this time on her erotic adventures, you can pre-order A Second Chance now. It will be released on October 22nd.

Upcoming adventures and the universe of A Perfect Dream

My initial idea was to write a story about two couples who meet and switch at a party. Soon, from that spark, A Perfect Dream was born. The reviews, to me, confirmed what I realized quickly. There are more stories to tell.

In the first story, A Perfect Dream, Beatrice and Sage, two women with completely contrary intentions meet at a party that is supposed to be all about sensual and sexual pleasure. These parties offer casual encounters in a safe space, an escape from everyday life, but for them, it's not enough, and they have to explore what is out there for them outside the confines of the luxurious and intimate getaway.

This October will bring you the story of Piper who initially introduces Beatrice to A Perfect Dream parties (A Second Chance, will soon be available for pre-order). Piper isn't and has never been looking for a happy ending. An outside observer might say that she's compromised with the life that she's leading, but it is the life she wants. At the Halloween party, she becomes an accidental matchmaker once more.

Each of the stories in the universe will follow a particular woman or couple and explore what they hope to find behind the closed doors of the party.

Women's sexuality and choices always faces by far more scrutiny than those of men, so I loved creating this fictional universe that is safe for and open to all of them, no matter the kind of sex they enjoy, how little or how much of it. It's not always without complication: Some develop feelings for each other and have to ask themselves whether or not they are willing to pursue a relationship in real life--others can experience freely what the outside world would judge them for harshly.

A Perfect Dream being a space for women who want to be with other women only brings a different thread to the fabric of this universe. Everyone deserves a space free from prejudice--but is the refusal to come out from privileged women a disservice to others who are not so lucky?

Over the next few months, you can follow the stories of these different women and their sensual erotic encounters. I hope you'll enjoy them.

One reviewer said about A Perfect Dream "I’m jealous (...) because I’m pretty sure things like this exist if you have enough money and know the right people." (Erotica Book Reviews)
