Writer's retreat

In lieu of words, I give you my idea of the perfect writer's hut. This one's on the Faroe Islands, picture by Marie Mathilde Fogh. Get more inspiration for your fantasy retreat at cabinporn.com:

In two places at once

I've been on holiday and made the most of all the open water swimming opportunities we came across in North Wales. I'm the little black blob in the sea in these pictures at Ynys Llanddwyn. I do love living somewhere that has such beautiful countryside within a couple of hours' drive.

Meanwhile, I've also visited Justine Elyot's blog to talk about how I came to be writing erotica as part of her Debutantes series. A big thank you to Justine for having me over. I read her Seven Scarlet Tales collection while I was away. It was highly enjoyable - seven stories about every possible nuance of spanking with the characters and overall storyline all linked together. Beautifully written, as you would expect from Justine, with a variety of narrative viewpoints and settings. I particularly liked the two stories from doms Rob and Richard on how they got into their kinky shenanigans in the first place.
