BTW, Jessewave’s site is loading slowly for me today. Might be worth copying your comments before posting them, as it’s a real pain when they get lost in the ether!

The Screwing the System blog tour – final post

Screwing the System coverThe last post is up at DarienMoya’s fabulous Pants Off Reviews, where I talk about my changing ideas about submission, and what qualities a good sub really needs:

Aww, it’s all over. I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments, and don’t forget, you can still comment up until Monday morning to be included in the draw. One commenter on each post will win an ebook from my backlist, and there’s the grand prize of my handmade flogger (or alternative value prize, should you not want a flogger for any reason!). You can find links to all the posts on the Blog Tour page.

Nattering today on the Samhain blog

I’ve got a post there today about running, with a tenuous connection to Screwing the System too. Would be nice to hear from some of you if you have anything to add :)

Regarding my last blog post: I will get back to everyone who’s offered their pre-reading services tomorrow. Thank you all so much! Would love to get back to you all right now but I’m flagging and think I need to get myself off to bed for some recovery sleep. I will get this virus beat!
