How Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys inspired a Best Women's Erotica of the Year Volume 2 story

Who knew that boy band fandom could lead to getting published? Read on...Part of why I've done so many author interviews in my career is that when I finish reading a book (or a short story or an essay), if it moved me, I have questions. That's why I've been asking the contributors to Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 2, all about their writing process and fiction inspiration over on the book's Tumblr.

This week's interview is with Jocelyn Bringas, author of the story "Taste," and she told me that the photo below of Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys was the genesis of her story! How cool is that?

All dressed up.

You can read all about this sexy tale in our interview. The story itself starts out like this:

The cool San Francisco air was refreshing on my skin after being stuck behind a stuffy cubicle for eight hours. I was following my routine of walking to the underground Embarcadero BART station to take my evening train ride home. When I reached Market Street and Drumm, I stood on the crowded sidewalk and waited for the signal to walk across the street.

“I wonder if you taste as good as you look.”

I hope you will join us Tuesday, January 31st at 7:30 p.m., where she will read from "Taste" live at Skylight Books at 1818 North Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles, and probably give us a little more juicy insight! On a totally superficial note, I got a new dress for the occasion and can't wait to kick off this book tour and finally meet Jocelyn, who I published years ago in my anthology Yes, Sir. I follow most of my authors on social media and feel like I somewhat know them, but it's different from getting to see them in person, and hear the way they personally tell the story they created. That is an incredible feeling and something I wish I could do with all my authors.



Even if you're not in LA, I would love it if you'd help spread the word. Here's the Facebook event page, and of course, we'll have photos and maybe even some video snippets, so stay tuned to the book's Twitter and Instagram accounts. We may even try doing a Facebook Live!

And through this Sunday, June 15th, I'm giving away 10 free copies of the audiobook over on Facebook, so enter the giveaway if you want to hear Rose Caraway narrate all 21 stories.

Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys with Yes, Sir contributor

When you edit an anthology, you meet, and virtually meet, all sorts of writers--I don't have an exact count, but in my over 50 anthologies, I've worked with hundreds of writers. They can surprise me in the most delightful ways, such as Jocelyn Bringas recently did by sharing this photo of her with Nick Carter of The Backstreet Boys, and the book she contributed to, Yes, Sir. How cool is that?

From "Pink Is The Enemy" by Jocelyn Bringas

“Take off your skirt.”

My fingers immediately obeyed his request and tugged the material down to the floor. I was now one thong away from being completely naked as I stood with my back facing Duke. “What the fuck?”

I heard him get up from his chair and stomp his way to me. My heart was racing. He never got up from his chair unless something was terribly wrong. I gasped when his hands viciously grabbed my asscheeks and spread them far apart.

“Why are you wearing a pink thong?”

Crap! I had forgotten to change my underwear before coming to his home. My boss had kept me late at work and by the time I was on the freeway, there was no time to go to my apartment for an underwear change. Duke always wanted me to be at his home on time. If I was even just one second late he wouldn’t bother answering the door.

My heart felt heavy knowing I had disappointed him. I had always been so good about changing my underwear. I aimed to please him and breaking my streak made me feel really bad.

He walked away, leaving me standing there frozen. I didn’t want to move an inch. Last time I moved to look for him I was put in detention. His form of detention was no touching and no fucking for two days. Not having his cock for forty-eight hours had been pure torture and I didn’t want to risk experiencing that again.

Yes, Sir: Erotic Stories of Female Submission

The lucky women in Yes, Sir give up control to irresistibly powerful men who understand that dominance is about exulting in power that is freely yielded. Bound, gagged or spanked—or controlled with just a glance—these erotic adventurers experience the breathtaking thrills of sexual submission. With stories by Donna George Storey, Alison Tyler, Stan Kent, and many more of the best writers in the field, Yes, Sir shows that pleasure is best when dispensed by a firm hand.
