The Big Book of Submission

I'm honored to be a part of the virtual tour for my first-ever print publication, The Big Book of Submission, which features my piece "Story Time." I wrote a few months back about how utterly floored I am to see my words in print, and truthfully, the thought of it still thrills me. I've been stark naked in front of strangers (on the internet and in person) more times than I can count, but this is an entirely different brand of exhibitionism.

"Story Time" is based on a real scene with my top of three years. When I announced that our fantasies would be printed, he told me what a turn-on it was that our scene would be read by other kinky and curious folks.

Nothing could make me happier than sharing my kinky thoughts with anyone who cares to read them, so I'm excited to present a sneak peak of "Story Time," as told by yours truly. It's going to get a little meta in here, since I'll be reading aloud a story about a woman being forced to read a different story to her dominant ... still with me? Hope you enjoy <3

Small Miracle

I am holding my words in my hands. "Story Time," the page reads, "Inara Serene." Those are my words, printed, laid out on a page, and neatly justified. My thoughts, my fantasies, my experiences—they're set in ink now, and something about that is far too exciting and surreal to fully process. I never thought I'd see something I wrote with that special book formatting. You know, with the first letter of the chapter set in extra-large, bolded font.

I'm just going to take a moment to quietly celebrate how incredible it is that my story will (hopefully) turn on other people, and maybe even strike a chord of recognition in them. I get to share my kinks with anyone who happens to pick up this book, and that, to me, is a small miracle.

PS-if you're curious, the book in question is The Big Book of Submission, and it has 68 other short stories of kinky goodness.
