A note or two

This is in response to the many emails I get about my stories asking about this and that.   And I thank everybody who takes the time to write. The first, and most asked question. The answer is, alas, No.  While I have frequently played with B&D in my lifetime, I have to admit that none of my partners were unwilling.  And, certainly, none were hauled off in the middle of the night.  The house, the estate and the location in my first story, The Basement, is a direct description of my home.  Unfortunately, the underground room doesn't have three ravishing females chained to the walls.   Or even one, for that matter. I was a fan of John Norman's Gor universe from almost the day he started writing. Actually, I bought number five (why I picked that one, I don't remember) way back about 1970, got about halfway though the book, then beat feet back to the bookstore to see if I could get the previous four.  I now have all of them, filling up an entire four foot shelf.  If you haven't read him, and are into the girl slave genre (and if you aren't, why are you reading this?), go to bookfinder.com, or equivalent, and get the first two or three.  I guarantee that you will love them.  Women too - there are a lot of whip wielding females in the stories.   Readers will see many places where I have borrowed from this master of the erotic fiction. I am not a professional writer, although I have written many technical manuals over the years.  I write because I enjoy creating  stories.  If other people like to read them, then that is icing on the cake. As I have stated many times, my tales are not masturbation fantasies.  In fact, a few times after a story was well along, I realized that I had almost left out the sex and the domination.   Steel City is an example.  I had struggled so much with it, trying to get the tale of a man finding an abandoned underground in a major metropolis to be at least somewhat believable, that the first version got major (and valid) complaints about "Where is the sex?"   I did a complete rewrite, using the same outline, and came up with a totally different story. I welcome suggestions from readers.  And, I have used those suggestions, or at least, taken off on them many times. Readers will have noticed that novel, The Hotel, is a nucleus around which a lot of my tales revolve.  That will continue with both long novels and short stories and at least two are in progress that expand on the idea of a world wide slavery conspiracy, including a prequel to them all. I am not getting tired of writing, so they will keep coming as long as I don't run out of ideas. Morlock
