Happy 2020 everyone! This is going to be an exciting year for me as I will well and truly have my Author Hat firmly back in place. I have two new books scheduled for the early part of this year – “The Liberation of Miss X” which will be released on 6th February and “Challenging…
New Christmas Book! Her Christmas Carol
I have a new book out! It’s a Christmassy Christmas book for Christmas called ‘Her Christmas Carol’. It is published under the name of Charlotte Cockens (did you see what I did there?) but it’s still me! On sale now! Did you know that Ebenezer Scrooge wasn’t the only person who was visited by three…
Book Review – The Assassin and the Soldier by Carly Morgan
The Assassin and the Soldier Four Stars There’s more than a touch of The Hunger Games about The Assassin and the Soldier and that’s no bad thing. Especially when it is done as well as this. This dystopian story would make a cracking Young Adult Fiction book were it not for the frequent steamy sex…
Book Review – Summer Storm by Marie Hall
Marshal Storm. Firm but fair. Five Stars! Marie Hall’s beautifully written Western is a delight to read. I loved it. Protagonists Marshal Chase Storm and Summer Rain are both intelligent, passionate, honourable and incredibly stubborn individuals. So naturally they butt heads for quite a lot of this book. Given that barely a chapter in…
TP Dungeon – So long and thanks for all the spanks
At the end of this month, TP Dungeon in Staffordshire will be closing its (anonymous-looking) doors for the last time. This is a sad time for me and Gentleman Friend as we have spent many happy hours there in the eighteen months since we discovered it. I could say that TP Dungeon is the best…
Book Review – The Lies of Lord John by Fiona Munroe
Only marriage to a lady of fortune can save him Four Stars I do love a historical heroine with modern sensibilities and Margaret Bell the heroine of The Lies of Lord John is a wonderful example of just that. Accustomed to a rather negligent upbringing from an indulgent uncle, she has always enjoyed far more…
Entwined: The Art of Rope Bondage
Last night my Gentleman Friend and I went to a salon at Coco de Mer in London called “Entwined: The Art of Rope Bondage“. In a rather blatant example of buying gifts for people that you really want yourself, the tickets for the event had been a present from me to Gentleman Friend for his…
Book Review – Freedom in Submission by Alexandra Noir
“I don’t mind you hitting me,” she said simply, hoping it would be enough to make him truly see her. Four Stars Freedom inSubmission takes place in seventeenth century Massachusetts during the time of the Salem Witch Trials. Before things take a bit of turn towards the kinky, the story paints an absorbing and accurate…
She’s back!
I am very happy. I finished a book. I submitted it for publication. And it’s been accepted! Now I am just impatient for publication to happen. I took a break from writing for several years. My brain was not in a great place. I am a lot saner now and the one of the ways…
Pretty Little Thing: I try to get my head around modern fashion
I have been walking past this advert on the London Underground on my way to work every day for months now and, quite frankly, it’s been confusing me. What is going on here? What exactly is going on with this young lady’s trousers? There seem to be bits missing. I’m not bringing this up out…
