I do hope I haven’t upset anyone but I’ve increased the price of Strict Learning to more truly reflect its content. It was set at $1 to see what the sales were, and for a 60,000 word book that took months to write, that is a crazy price.

Pricing is a strange thing. I want to sell more books, yet I want to make some money. It costs about $30usd to get a quality front cover made and that represents, for a small unknown author, quite a few sales. So, selling for $1 makes no commercial sense.

Then, I think to my own reading tastes. I would happily pay more for a longer book with plenty of content like there is in Strict Learning.

I hope you agree.

Does Trikki have favorites?

Yes, I do! It’s sort of like saying I have a favorite child but these are books and they suit different people with different tastes. So, I feel embarrassed to say I do have favorites.

The following comments are of course very much up to how I feel at the time. Some days I identify with one book, other days can be vastly different.

I keep an eye on what gets read and purchased and I try to reconcile that with my own tastes for what I’ve written. It is all a bit of a mind game.

I also feel it’s ‘narcissistic’ when I go back and re-read some of my books, but I can’t help it. I only write about things I enjoy and can identify with.

Anyway, what comes out from my analysis is that that things of my own that I like the best seldom have the same appeal to others. I love ‘Judith’s Awakening’ for example, because it speaks to my feminine side. I just love the whole finding love and romance and breaking out of the routine to find love and something new thing. It feels so exciting when I re-read this one and I kind of wish it was me. Equally, ‘Ricks First Session’ I thought would be least popular and it is strangely the opposite. I wonder if is it people wanting to read about what a pro-domme session in a dungeon is like? Maybe that is it? I can reveal that this book is close to real life, very close (exactly so in some places) and the mistresses name is K…A and she did leave for Europe. Sigh.

Favorite for corporal & Kink

The ‘Strict Learning’ story is my favorite, it takes me back in time to my school days, but it also takes it a lot further.

This is a favorite tale from a finding love basis and throwing in the corporal and then at the end, the bondage makes it appealing. I like it for the corporal and kink.

Fun protagonist and a good story

Mistress Tish every time. She is great. She makes no attempt to be anyone other than herself, is down to earth, loves her work and is just plain fun.

Rick’s First Session and Adam’s Angel were taster books with Mistress Tish as the dominatrix in a fem domme session. These were just ‘taster books’ of Mistress Tish.

Soon to be published is Mistress Tish in ‘Job Offer’ and it is all about her. There are some great corporal sessions in there and the book is worthwhile just to read about ‘Robyn’ having a session. I pulled Robyn from real life, in a previous job, and had a lot of fun with her also. Robyn was a shocker!

Mistress Tish is hugely fun to write for and her exploits please at every level. She;s an Action Gal. The Dommest With The Mostest.

For a happy story

As I said above, for a story that pleases me and offers hope, with people enjoying their life, discovering themselves and an inner shared happiness, ‘Judith’s Awakening’ is very close to my heart.

Every time I read this book I move to where Judith and Rick have a first-time with Rick’s gear and then the happy times between the rubber sheets appeal so much. Damn but that appeals.

Since I’m Getting Older

Getting older really is a pain some times, all those things I can’t do that I did when I was younger, and sometimes I just wish I was in my 20’s again. I’ll never be a model again, damn.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to be young and care free with the world at my feet. Better than that, the thought of knowing what I know now and being young again is fabulously attractive.

Then the thought of really being young again. Actually have the body younger, losing all the effects of age, having the mind razor sharp and crisp… YES PLEASE.

That’s where ‘Young Again’ and Mistress Erica and her strap came from. I’d go there to stay in an instant to look and actually be twenty again and the kink, with what I know now, would be hugely appealing.

My goodness YES PLEASE. Count me in!

Would you want to be 20 again? I’m sure very few people would reject that treatment with all its benefits.

Roundup of Book by Trikki Watson

Here is some summary information about my current and also some soon to be published books.

I started publishing these in November 2017 from material I’d written over the previous decade.

Rick’s First Session

Rick must find a new dominatrix for the regular heavy corporal sessions he needs. After a disappointing false start, he finds Mistress Tish who’s love of corporal and enthusiasm makes her ideal.

Rick has a great collection of gear he’s collected over the years and Mistress Tish takes full advantage of it for a grueling heavy corporal session.

Then after the session, Rick has a very pleasant self bondage time in his special bedroom.

There isn’t any sex in this book but lots of heavy corporal and a great self bondage time at the end after the session.

The sequel ‘Judith’s Awakening’ continues on with the protagonist and introduces Judith who finds the BDSM more to her liking than she expected.

This was my first published book and has been remarkably popular. It’s close to some real life experiences and perhaps that comes out and is the cause for its popularity. Without any sex or ‘happy ending’, the popularity of this book surprises me. Then again, good bondage and discipline doesn’t need a lot of sex.

Adam’s Angel

This is the story of a pro dominatrix session in a dungeon given by Mistress Tish.

Adam needs his sessions, his stress builds and builds until he finds it hard to function. Then he has a session with Mistress Tish in the dungeon with full service sub Angel and they make everything better for him.

This has a great corporal and bondage session with lots of lovely corporal and a very happy ending. The ever useful house slave also gets his special reward too.

Job Offer

A much larger book chronicling the life of Loretta as she transitions from high school to university, then finds making ends meet means a part time job is essential. As she pursues her university education, in her part time job she is drawn into BDSM work and so Mistress Tish is created, then becomes the Physicist Dominatrix.

Working in a dungeon is something she likes and is good at, but her PhD in physics and mathematics is not getting the use she would like. Unfortunately the job market for fresh out of university physicists is small but not as small as for physicist with dominatrix skills.

So, while she looks for a physics job, she continues on with sessions, enjoying them with a stable of willing clients needing her special skills.

Then wonders will never cease, she is offered a job that uses her PhD in physics but also requires her dominatrix skills. What could possibly go wrong?

There are plenty of dungeon sessions, a return by Rick and Judith for a wonderful session, and some lovely happy endings. Foul mouthed Robyn cursing out her boss in a corporal session is a highlight, and Angel is such a naughty sub who needs her discipline also.

Question – so, how do you interview a physicist dominatrix? Is a ‘skills assessment’ in order and who does the assessment and where?

Strict Learning

This is a story for those harking back to those days of school discipline when the cane and the strap (tawse) ruled supreme and a visit to the head meant presenting a hand, or bending for six of the best, and in this book, both.

Set in a school for ‘last-chance’ students who’ve been expelled from others, Ms Smeet the headmistress imposes a strict disciplinary regime. Students understand their limits and know the consequences of a visit to Ms Smeet far outweigh their regular doses of the classroom strap.

The book follows Cath who’s own need for corporal periodically flares, making an out of hours visit to Ms Smeet and her special room mandatory for her peace of mind.

Judith’s Awakening

Rick and Judith each find themselves single and accepting that romance and love may not come their way. Judith with two failed marriages and Rick with a single divorce each have their own special needs. For Judith, the quick sex dating scene has long since paled. She just wants to find an intelligent caring man she can have a conversation with, plus all the benefits she misses would be nice.

For Rick it is a love of bondage and discipline with fetish that makes finding a suitable life partner difficult. Each time he finds someone he connects with, his need to be honest means the relationship ends.

Everything changes when he meets Judith and something is awakened in her, something special that she and Rick can share.

Plenty of romantic first meeting sex then some lovely B&D exploration with sweaty fetish fun between the rubber sheets.

This is a particularly pleasing book for those with a silent quiver, a secret passion that is unrequited and have lost hope of finding someone.

Fetish Friday

Judith and Rick make their B&D with fetish fun a regular Friday night event, something to look forward to all week. Most times Rick finds himself in bondage on the bed in the play room with Judith exercising her inner dominatrix and finding that belts can be so useful and in more ways than she thought possible.

There’s plenty of sex, bondage and discipline then steamy nights between the rubber sheets.

That is until Jill gate crashes their Fetish Friday. Naughty Jill.

Young Again

Charlie the original super model, only dimly remembering the roaring and raging of the ‘60s and her antics with staff in the drying out clinics. She finds that living in a retirement home ‘waiting for God’ is less than pleasing. That is until she finds ‘The Rejuvenation Clinic’ which offers a real chance at a second youth.

This is the story of a real fountain of youth – with a serious B&D twist and some stinging red bottoms that have a very happy ending.

Mistress Erica’s rejuvenation clinic helps Charlie become young again, but also exposes her to the secret passions that only a rejuvenated body and BDSM can bring.

Unleashing Morgan

Morgan is sick and tired of her ‘vanilla’ life wanting so much more happiness and fulfillment. She finds references to a unique training system that awakens a longing inside her, a longing for some kink she’s never tried.

This is a book about training and exploration of a persons innermost secret fantasies. Lots of happy endings with bondage, plenty of corporal and some lovely fetish. Plus a cameo appearance of some strict robots!

This book, and for no good reason, has been languishing for the last 2 months. In fits and starts it has grown to have three first class corporal sessions, each different and all of them very special. The session with Robyn pleases me every time I revisit on it.

Looking back on this series and the sessions, they are all radically different and each offers insights to pro-domme BDSM sessions with bondage and heavy corporal in abundance. Not only that, but Angel (you remember her from book 2) gets plenty of action and brings steamy happy endings to clients. I do like Angel.

Not only focusing on the BDSM side, the book starts the real story, the story of Mistress Tish pursuing her life’s true love of physics and mathematics.

I’m toying with putting this book on pre-order which will force me to finish it in a timely manner.

The Mistress Tish Story

Underlying all the book is the story of Mistress Tish. Here for the first time (in the third book of this series) her life and loves are exposed. Previously she has been the consummate BDSM mistress. No we see her progression through life.

Here we meet her alter ego, the young woman who grew up then became the Physicist Dominatrix.

Sequel : Base Dominatrix

The sequel to Job Offer has been mostly written. It takes the story forward showing Mistress Tish working her magic on the base scientists, whipping them into shape but also her physics work begins in earnest.

For once she is finding her PhD in physics is being used and she is loving it. She gets to work in her chosen field, and she also gets to stress relieve and do the kind of work she has a special aptitude for.

There are only a few small problems. Oversight by the government accountability office, the chairman of the joint chiefs and the base HR psychiatrist. Can’t they accept success!

Oh. And there are plenty of side-track plots happening, the CIA, SEALs, a German physicist, a town chief of police with near psychic powers and plenty more fun reading.

 

After just 2 days live, Strict Learning has sold more than I have of my other titles. Also, page reads are doing well which is pleasing.

If you have a copy – and have read it – some reviews would be appreciated. In writing a 60k word story, there is a lot of time spent and I’d love to have (hopefully positive) feedback. I know I can get very ‘wordy’ and get wrapped up in descriptions, terribly so, to please tell me if that is happening too much.

Also, while you’re reviewing, what was the best part (I hope there was one!)? Was it the classroom discipline? Was it the special times between Cath and Simon or was it the session Cath had with Ms Smeet?

Would you like to see a book focusing on Ms Smeet, from her perspective? That feels like a good challenge to rise to. What does the formidable Ms Smeet do for her own stress relief? Does she have a lover? Is there a corporal connection between Ms Smeet and a possible lover? All good questions.

Big question. What is Ms Smeet’s first name? Now that makes my mind wander. I’m thinking ‘Charlotte’ at the moment.

The book Strictly Learning is my biggest, over 60,000 words and on special promotional pricing for a week or two. I’m tempted to keep it at that price for longer, especially if it translates into sales of other titles.

School Corporal

In my day corporal punishment was an accepted teaching aid at school. It was the cure-all for inattention, talking in class and any number of other indignities a teacher had to suffer.

I remember the fear of corporal punishment, trying hard in class to avoid it, and the few times I received it, it leaving me embarrassed. There was a pain element but standing out the front of class to be strapped and having every eye on me was the worst part.

Looking back on it, it was pretty barbaric to beat children with a strap for any reason yet in my day it didn’t raise an eyebrow.

I’m glad times have changed.
