Our time with Shoshanna Evers continues today with more stories from her Dominatrix Fantasy Series and what sex toy inspired DENIED. Here we go…
Be sure to leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway for today’s novella DENIED…and to be entered into the end of the week giveaway for the trilogy.
The Dominatrix Fantasy Series contains three novellas, SPANKED, DENIED, and COLLARED. For the next three days we’ll will be giving away one novella to a commenter and at the end of the three days we’ll give away the entire Trilogy Set, which includes a bonus short story.
Just for kicks, let’s talk about what sex toy inspired each story! But first…
Here’s the blurb for DENIED:
Blake’s been having so much fun learning to submit to the beautiful Mistress Victoria that he let his college grades drop…and now his Dominatrix has no choice but to punish her naughty school boy.
What Blake needs, she decides, is a male chastity belt designed to force him to focus on his school work instead of on sex. Until Blake gets his grades up, she’s the only one who will have access to his body. Without the key, he’s completely at her mercy.
…and as Blake knows, being at Mistress Victoria’s mercy is the hottest place to be.
Now Mistress Victoria has to come to terms with the evolving relationship…she’s starting to get attached to her devastatingly sexy submissive. It’s not just a game anymore…
DENIED, Novella 2: Amazon, Smashwords, B&N
SPANKED, DENIED, & COLLARED: Dominatrix Fantasy Trilogy set: Amazon, Smashwords, B&N
The sex toy that inspired DENIED is a very devious male chastity belt. Male chastity belts vary, but the main purpose is to keep your man completely dependent on you for his sexual needs. He won’t be able to masturbate, come, have sex, or in most cases even get an erection while in a chastity belt.
I based the one in DENIED on a real chastity belt that is made of silicone and is lined on the inside with tiny spikes that immediately punish the man for getting hard. Can you imagine how doting a man in a device like that would be, if you were the one holding the only key? 
Leave a comment, any comment, and you’re entered to win a free e-copy of DENIED.
Oh and by the way… my latest novella is HELD CAPTIVE BY THE CAVEMEN, if you’re up for some gangbang erotica…. available on Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble.

I’m waiting for a few stories that involve clothing being cut or torn off of a heroine while she’s “tied down/up” … LOL
Funny you should mention that – one of my WIPs has a scene like that – she’s in bondage wearing nothing but panties and he rips them off of her. Great minds think alike LOL
What an interesting plot idea. I will be sure to check this series out now.
Hm… great to read the questions and your comments, Shoshanna–I’m relatively new to reading your writing, and am happy to see there’s backlist to be caught up with
You learn something new every day. I didn’t even know male chastity beltsexisted.
You edited and wrote part of “How To Write Hot Sex” which is a non-fiction book for authors.
I’m curious whether there was some bit of advice in the book that got you thinking…or that made you think differently about how you write the sex scenes in your books or how you approach the sex scenes generally?
I found a lot of great information in the book. One of the things I particularly liked was the suggestion that one make the sex itself an area of conflict within a story. That’s not something that is done in traditional romance…at least not very often. In traditional series romance sex is usually the thing that draws characters together…it’s usually the thing that does work – even when little else does.
In reality – there are a lot of couples for whom sex doesn’t work…couples who like different things sexually…or who come from different sexual backgrounds and need to come together sexually…working out sex as one of many conflicts they might have.
To me that was the most eye opening piece of advice in the book (at least so far – I’m still reading). Was there a piece of advice in the book that you found eye opening?
I loved all the essays, which is why I chose them for the antho…can’t pick a favorite. But Desiree Holt’s reminder to use all 5 senses is applicable to all authors, of any genre.
Indeed it is…for sex scenes and other scenes as well. I used to have a reminder to use all five senses on the wall over my desk. I had a lot of similar reminders written on bright colored paper…scattered over my desk. One day the kids that I mentored were at the house. They looked at the notes above the desk and asked about them. I explained that they were reminders that I used when I wrote and explained using 5 senses in writing.
I went off to cook dinner while they did homework. A while later I came back through the office area and they had added a new note which still makes me chuckle when I think on it.
“Keep It Simple Mrs. S. God Loves You!” I’m not sure if they thought I was cracking up and just needed to take a deep breath and remember the important things or what. But it was funny.
In general, my male readers like my FemDom stories and my female readers like either MaleDom, vanilla, or FemDom in that order. Although I do have some male readers who like my MaleDom books…I got a lovely email from a soldier in Afganistan who said his whole squadron reads my books (this was when all I wrote was MaleDom)
I write the same way I always do for each book…I’m sort of a minimalist. I like to write the bones of the story and let the readers’ imagination fill in the details that they find hot. I’ve been told my writing style is fast-paced and “clean”. A clean writing style for dirty stories, lol!
LOL have to laugh at the “clean” writing style for dirty stories.
There are minimalist approaches that leave the reader wondering – for God’s sake! What does he FEEL or what does she FEEL! You may have a minimalist style but from what I’ve read you convey your characters…their thoughts and feelings well. You may not give the reader more than they need but you provide enough that the reader isn’t left wondering why the characters do what they do…or feel what they do.
A piece from yesterday’s story DENIED shows this well.
It’s the section where Blake draws the cartoon dog on the plate. He starts out drawing the dog because it is part of his job…but he really enjoys her genuine laugh. He also responds to her approval.
Yes, the words on the page are minimal…but the experience of the character and thereby the reader is fully rounded…mental and emotional…particularly when he begins thinking how he could get that genuine truly pleased smile from her again.
What a lovely note to get from the squadron that reads your books. I wonder how many squadrons there are reading your books.
Probably more than one.
What do you think it is that men like about FemDom books? We tend to paint men as dominant creatures in our society…a stereotype I know…but I do find it interesting that men seem to prefer the FemDom stories while women seem to prefer the MaleDom stories.
I seem to be in a mood of questioning why today.
Do you have any insights? Thoughts?
I think because men are in a position of authority or dominance in many areas of life, some want to take a break and have a woman take over for them. Others like the idea of being a sex slave
Good Morning Shoshanna,
It seems I’m in a mood for asking questions this morning. I have another one for you. Everyone is talking about 50 Shades of Grey. Have you read it? Did you like it?
Do you attribute the popularity of the books to the BDSM content or to something else?
I did read 50 Shades and yes, I did like it. It’s become this whole controversial thing amongst writers bc of the writing and the fan fic element and the fact that mainstream media is under the mistaken impression that James invented BDSM erotic romance…
But ultimately, I’m just happy that 50 Shades brought a whole new level of attention to our genre! I even made bookmarks that say “What to read after 50 Shades of Grey? Anything by Shoshanna Evers.” Lol
Hi Shoshanna,
Yes, I know…50 Shades is very controversial among writers. It’s one of the reasons I ask authors who write erotica and erotic romance whether they’ve read it and whether they liked it.
Some of us do have to poke at things you know.
Just to see what the reaction is. 
I find it interesting that mainstream media thinks that 50 Shades is somehow unique in terms of BDSM and erotic romance. It’s rather late to the game and in general is sweeter in flavor than some BDSM flavored romances.
I’m with you though…I am pleased that 50 Shades made BDSM romance kind of a mainstream thing – something safe to talk about – even among people who would otherwise NEVER talk about such things – like my 70+ year old step dad who asked me about the book during a recent visit. He’d heard about it from the wife of his former church pastor who is also the librarian at their town’s library. She read it to see whether it would be a good addition to the library. Apparently they had had a fair degree of discussion about it because he knew more than I did about it at the time. I’d not yet read it. I am about finished with the third book in the trilogy now so am loaded for bear when it comes to discussion.
Pre-50 Shades my dad wouldn’t have mentioned BDSM romance – or even erotic romance. He and my mom know what I publish – but it’s something they kind of try to pretend they don’t know – the way adult kids often want to avoid thinking of their parents in sexual situations.
Thanks for hosting me, Dawn!
Laurie
No Dawn here. 
But you’re very welcome. It is my pleasure. I hope you’re having a good time.
Sorry Laurie, my coffee hasn’t kicked in yet. I imagined I was on the blog I was on last week, lol.
Not a problem Shoshanna. I understand fully about the coffee not kicking in.
Good Morning Shoshanna,
It appears I get to be the first commenter on your post this morning.
In reading through the comments from yesterday’s post I noticed that you have a lot of fans…both men and women. Though I believe that we too often stereotype men and women as being fundamentally different (men like sex – women like emotion for example) I still can’t let it pass that you have a strong following in both genders.
Do you write differently to appeal to male and female audiences? Do you think that different things appeal to male and female readers? To what do you attribute the strong fan base among both male and female readers?
