I have a brand spanking new author with me this evening - Carly Burton, a name I'm sure you will be hearing again in the not too distant future. Carly's first spanking romance ebook, Charlotte’s Fulfilment, has recently been published. Here's what Carly has to say about her first book, and why she finds spanking romance so appealing.
Abigail
When did you write your first spanking story?
Carly
I was on holiday in April this year with family and spent quite a lot of time travelling in the back of the car. This gave me an opportunity to think and fantasise, and my first spanking story was mapped out in my head. I started to type it up as soon as I returned home and surprised myself by remembering each detail; it literally flowed until it was completed.
Abigail
What made you want to write a spanking story?
Carly
I’ve been reading spanking stories for several years now, some really good ones, others not so good. Sometimes I would get disheartened if a story went in a direction I didn’t like, or left me disappointed and it occurred to me that I could create my own
Abigail
What about romance, how important do you think it is?
Carly
I love romance, the relationship that develops between two people is really special and I like to explore the intricacies it creates. When a strong male takes on a female who needs his discipline it makes my insides go to jelly! I love dwelling on the interaction, feelings, responses and reactions, a bit of conflict thrown in makes it even more exciting. Of course, I always need a happy ending.
Abigail
What’s your favourite spanking position and implement?
Carly
Like many others, the intimacy of over the knee spanking is by far the most satisfying to me, with a hand doing the spanking. The security of being held firmly, over a strong knee and flesh to flesh contact of hand on bottom is delicious!
Abigail
Are your family and friends aware of your interest in spanking and writing?
Carly
Absolutely not! Only my husband knows, and he is a massive support to me, encouraging me to explore my sexuality in this way.
My adult son and daughter run for the hills if we even hint at anything sexual between us, you know how kids are? It’s quite a joke actually, we enjoy teasing them, but I’m not about to shock them with the revelation that their mum is a spanking romance author! (Not yet anyway!)
Abigail
You have just had your first ebook published, how do you feel about that?
Carly
I’m astounded that I have my first ebook Charlotte’s Fulfilment on sale. It’s amazing to think that a book I have written can be purchased all over the world, but I have to hope it gains enough attention to tempt people to buy it. My wish is for people to read my book, enjoy it, and be aroused and excited by it. Maybe that is asking too much for my first attempt at a novella?
Abigail
Do you have any plans to write another book anytime soon?
Carly
I already have a substantial part of a plot in my mind, but I have work commitments that must be fulfilled before I commit my thoughts to the computer! I know that once the writing bug takes over, it becomes an obsession and I have to type frantically, it’s all I want to do. I have to be very stern with myself to complete my work before I am allowed to play! I hope to start very soon though.
Abigail
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Carly
I’m just a normal, everyday woman who has recently allowed my interest in spanking to break free, and I feel so liberated. I intend to continue reading as many stories as I can and I hope I will be encouraged enough by sales of my book to continue writing as well. If I can help others to lose themselves in the world of spanking romance fiction, then I have achieved something at least.
Charlotte’s Fulfilment
Having been cheated on and hurt by her former partner, Charlotte has erected emotional barriers around her battered heart, and shunning the possibility of a future relationship with a man, remains unfulfilled.
Looking to get away and escape from the constant demands of work and family, she decides to go on a two week solo retreat at an exclusive resort in the country. Here she meets a man with whom she has an instant attraction, a man who is strong enough to help her forget the past and who is not averse to taking her over his knee for a bare bottom spanking when she needs it.
Charlotte, however, is a strong character herself and is used to being in control - can she accept his dominance and still retain her self-respect or is she destined to remain lonely and unfulfilled?
Thanks very much Carly. Good luck with your sales, and we look forward to hearing all about your next work in progress :)
