Happy with the success of "Controlling Sarah", will start a "mainstream" version.

I am still amazed and delighted with the immediate success of Controlling Sarah (not work safe), already #2 for the month of December 2010 (not work safe) at the BDSM Library.  Over 10,000 readers in five days!  For those not familiar with that site, some very good writers post free stories there.  The stories are always free and we writers get no payment, we just share our work.

On the not-free side of the world, I am planning on reworking the same story as something a little more mainstream.  More like an action/adventure romance based on the same story listed above.  If you are shy about graphic descriptions of sex and brutality then the book will be the better choice.  If you want your hot sex and paddling laid out in words, then the free one is for you.

The places that publish my commercial work do not allow graphic depictions of sex, so that is a limitation too.  I might try a commercial version of Controlling Sarah, at least 40,000 words, if one of the adult content sites wants to distribute.

Right now, I have part 11 (3,000 words) off to my new volunteer editor and it will be submitted to BDSM Library as an update to the original.  Sarah and Suki decided to sit out the rest of this project, so it is just me and Aubrey for this go.

New Cover for "Controlling Sarah"

Fiona almost has the new cover ready for Controlling Sarah, my latest collaboration with Suki and Sarah.  Will post it here first when complete.  The parts 1 - 10 went live at BDSMlibrary.com on 6 Dec. 2010 and has a few hundred reads with one review now.  That sight is not safe for work, so I suggest you click with caution Controlling Sarah.  Suki II: Sunshine Returns is a free read there too, but same cautions apply.

Private Parks in Crystal City

Update: John Stossel on How the Private Sector Can Save Public Parks
touches on similar issues in this post.  Stossel is always a good read.  Here is some video on the topic:

In the libertarian world of 2030s Virginia in general and Crystal City in specific, private parks are the norm.  They are open to the public 24/7, clean and safe. Public parks are where one goes to have trouble find them. Below are some of the privately owned parks as they look in the 2010s.

In the early part of the 21st century, free movies are shown in this private park (always open to the public). The tradition continues into the future and Suki enjoys classic movies here in the 2030s. This park is on the 1900 block of Ball Street, Arlington, VA, 22202.

Bocci Park in 2030s Crystal City, 23rd & Crystal Drive South, Arlington, VA, 22202.

A park that Suki enjoys in the first Suki series. She walks past this park between her apartment and work at her mother's office. Her favorite park in the neighborhood and Suki hopes to have her wedding ceremony here some day.

2200 Block of Crystal Drive, next to Chipotle on Crystal Drive where Suki and Jung initiate their plot to get John to pay attention to Suki.
The park is privately owned by the same firm that owns the surrounding buildings. Much cleaner and safer than any of the public parks that remain in the area.

12th Street Park:
In the 2030s, this is the only private park in Crystal City that is not considered safe. The developer on the south side tries to keep it guarded, but the developer on the north side continues to make it accessible, rather than providing recreation space on the north end.
Outdoor sales of what was considered contraband and vice in earlier decades is rampant, but just a lure for thieves.

In Suki I, this is the park where Suki relaxes and sips coffee before her Archery competition.
View is from the north end of the park.
