4 years of Best Bondage Erotica - buy 3 get 1 free from Cleis Press

Right now I'm in the midst of editing Best Bondage Erotica 2015 (deadline for submissions is March 1st!) while promoting Best Bondage Erotica 2014, so I wanted to share these covers from the last 4 years of editing this kinky series. It's wonderful to see the continuity as well as the new creative twists authors put on. I know these books have years on them, which is part of the marketing of the series, and I see each year as December turns into January that the previous years sales die down. But if you like bondage, these are timeless stories. If you like femdom, I highly recommend Best Bondage Erotica 2012 (get a taste of all 21 stories with free excerpts here), if you like submissive women who want to be tied up, try Best Bondage Erotica 2011, if you want plenty of variety, they all have it, but especially the 2013 and 2014 editions - each year skews slightly differently in terms of recurring themes and ideas, but all of them are some of the most creative writing I've ever published, and the authors submitting to the 2015 edition up the ante.

I will ask that if you've liked any of these, any public support you can show for the books would be much appreciated and truly helps extend the reach of my little series--a Tweet, a review on Amazon or Bn.com or Goodreads, a mention on Facebook (you can tag the series). The bottom line is that the books have to sell well enough to warrant me continuing editing them, which I hope to do for a very long time, so every sale, every mention, every bit of good energy helps make that happen. I publish new authors in each book, and many of them have since gone on to publish lots more work and have great success, such as Shoshanna Evers. I love to see that happen and am thrilled to get to work with so many wonderful writers year after year. For a limited time (I believe through Valentine's Day), my publisher Cleis Press is having a buy 3 get 1 free sale if you use the code VAL14 and buy them directly from them, here are handy links: Best Bondage Erotica 2011, Best Bondage Erotica 2012, Best Bondage Erotica 2013, Best Bondage Erotica 2014.
