About the book:<\/p>\n

The regal Viscountess and her partner Severin are not your typical detectives, nor your typical mistress\/slave pair from the BDSM subculture. They inhabit the magical and kinky world hidden by the powerful spell known as the Blindfold, and they travel from the Real World into magical Dominions that reflect every kink fantasy humans can dream of. When the powerful leader of the Algophilia Society is murdered, their path to track down the killer brings them through a Victorian London that never was, where \u201cfox\u201d hunts involve no animals, and a feudal Japan where a mysterious Jade carver creates terrifying magical dildos. (Think: if Elric\u2019s Stormbringer were a dildo instead of a sword.) Their loving bond as owner and slave is tested\u2013and reinforced\u2013as they whip, suck, and Scene their way to unraveling the mystery and confronting the culprit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Packed with sf\/fantasy film, book, and gaming references, The Viscountess Investigates is both a romp through BDSM subcultures and a geeky fantastical delight.<\/em><\/p>\n

About the Book:<\/p>\n

When driven and dominant advertising executive Emily Potter is promoted within her company, the bosses make it clear that the promotion comes with certain expectations: she is to purchase herself a morph\u2013a customizable animal hybrid of the future that is both sexual pet and status symbol. Emily\u2019s personal tastes require a very unique set of specifications for her morph. Emily desires a male pet that is both exotic and submissive\u2013yet all of her expectations are exceeded with Wynn, a beautiful white fox morph with a desire to please his new Master and an unusual intelligence that intrigues her. But the soulful wisdom that makes Wynn so special is a challenge to the morph-culture status quo and could ultimately spell disaster for both Master and pet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beyond The Softness of His Fur Part One: Wonders of Modern Science is the first installment in TammyJo Eckhart\u2019s provocative and edgy science-fiction trilogy. \u201cA tale of genetics, sex, and love between owners and pets,\u201d Part One is concerned with the bonding period between Emily and Wynn and the unexpected threats to their growing relationship. Beautiful and sensitive Wynn is na\u00efve to the complex world outside of his initial laboratory home and it is Emily\u2019s job to educate and discipline him according to her needs. But to her surprise, Emily finds more and more it is up to her to protect and care for the intelligent and sensitive creature from a world that would rather bend Wynn to suit its expectations rather than Emily\u2019s own.<\/em><\/p>\n

Q: 50 Shades of Grey has sparked a controversy over whether it’s important to see BDSM done “right” in erotic entertainment. Do you think that your readers are taking your work as a “how-to” guide? Are you concerned?<\/span><\/p>\n

ELIZABETH<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I’d be worried if my readers were even considering taking my work as a how-to, honestly. Fiction is just that. FICTION. It shouldn’t be a guide to anything. There are many, many fantastic books and how-to websites and blogs that people can turn to for instruction.<\/p>\n

“So, no. It is not a good idea to create an artificial intelligence and let them run the brothel. Or do anything in chapter 7. Really. Do not try chapter 7 at home. The characters in House of Sable Locks are professional figments of my imagination, with years of specialized training and very good health insurance. Very, very good health insurance.”<\/p>\n

CAMERON<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Since my books are set in a magical universe there are clearly some things that can never happen in reality. On the other hand, I try to be as accurate and realistic as possible. My Lady and I have tried most of the positions and punishments for ourselves to see how they feel. My characters also talk a great deal about safety and limits and I show how important those are. Basically if someone modeled their relationship after the Viscountess and Severin I think they\u2019d have a pretty good relationship.”<\/p>\n

TAMMYJO<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If the setting of my story is fantasy or science fiction, as is the case in “Beyond the Softness of His Fur,” then I think it is easier for readers to realize that since the technology is in the future, maybe the sex won’t be realistic either.\u00a0 For historical fiction, my Amazons stories for example, there is a certain distance that also creates this idea that while that might have been the case then, it probably isn’t the case now. But when you write something set in the present, very near future, or very recent past, then I think it can be very easy for a reader to get so caught up in the story that if what you are describing turns them on, they may think about trying it out.<\/p>\n

“Of course, there will always be a reader here or there who wants to try out anything they read. Therefore I try to always be careful with my physical descriptions so at least I’m not laying out a dangerous scenario, or if I am, I make sure I show that danger, the consequences that can happen. Personally I am far more concerned about getting the emotions and the relationship dynamics correct, about being honest with those aspects of the M\/s dynamic.\u00a0 Those are the aspects of your characters that will connect most strongly with readers and be reinforcement of their own feelings and thus perhaps become role models.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
