Best Menage? Apparently!

I am over the moon to be able to say that Sharing Silver won the Spanking Romance Reviews best book of 2015 in the 'menage' category.

To anyone who voted for me - THANK YOU!



I've never won any kind of award for my writing before and this is just... fantastic.

In other news, my Daddy and I are moving house soon - to a place where we can be as loud as we want without fear of annoying any neighbours. So look out for more interesting real life experience blog posts in the future!

Big happy hugs,

Woohoo! A Birthday Without Spanks!

So as many of you know, my partner is not just my man, he's also my Dom... and my Daddy. And when it's his babygirl's birthday, he goes all out. 

I got woken up with a coffee (YES I'm still allowed it because he prefers me caffeinated - the alternative is unbearable) and then he took me into the lounge, in which I hadn't been allowed since the previous afternoon. And this was waiting for me:


Yes, that's a giant FLUFFY cuddly tiger, and a 'baby girl' banner... and there were balloons, too, and streamers and sweeties and and and... I jumped up and down with excitement. I got thoroughly spoiled and then we went to my Mum's house where I got even MORE spoiled... but as an adult. *snicker*

And the whole time, I was dreading the infamous Birthday Spanking, only to discover...

...

... I wasn't getting one! It's not a 'thing' in Germany, where I live now. Yay! So I got all of the treats and none of the spanks. Just as well. I'm getting too old now anyway... there IS a thing as too many swats, right?

Hope everyone's having a great week.

Too many works in progress?

Unless I'm being told to take my panties down (or do housework), I have real trouble telling people 'no'. I don't like doing it... it makes me feel bad. 

Which is why I now have no less than EIGHT books in progress. Yup, that's right, eight. I keep being asked to write books for an anthology or a series, to which I cannot say no, and then of course I have my own ideas, and now, seeing as it's been a year since my last book was published *hangs head* I've ended up with eight current #wips.

But... this was me all last year:



Actually, I went to around twelve different countries in 2015, and between that and meeting the man of my dreams and working full time in my 'day job', my writing unfortunately took a backseat.

But no more! Sir is going to help me make sure I write every single day (and he has some *very* persuasive tools, ahem) and it is my intention to get five books out this year. I may not make five, but one is already scheduled, and yeah... fingers crossed.

Now my only problem is: which one do I finish first? The sexy first book in what will hopefully become a hot contemporary BDSM series? The dark, dark non-con? The historical age-play with a twist? The wild Western? Decisions decisions... answers on a postcard, please!

Sharing Silver has been nominated for a Golden Flogger award!

Well hello there everyone - and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wanted to make the first post of 2016 an amazingly happy one and what better way to do that than to confirm that Sharing Silver has been nominated for a Golden Flogger award - best book of the year 2015 - in the 'menage' category.

I received a nifty logo to brag with:


and I can't even describe how excited I am. So to whomever nominated me: THANK YOU!

I've done a little interview with BDSM Writers Con and will no doubt post it here on my own blog shortly, but in the meantime I just wanted to share the happy news and wish everyone all health, happiness and lots of spanks in 2016.

M is for... MAN!

I'd like to take a moment to share my idea of a real man. These are in no particular order, but for me, both in my books and in real life, these are the traits a real man should possess:



  • Kind: He should be kind and caring, always. In other words, he's a genuinely nice person to be around; empathetic and sympathetic to the needs of those around him.
  • Self-confident: He should know who and what he is. Not to be confused with arrogance - instead he's aware of both his strengths and weaknesses.
  • Strong: Of course, physical strength is a bonus, but I'm talking about inner strength here. He has to be strong enough to go after what he wants, to make decisions, to take care of himself. 
  • Humorous: This one is a no-brainer. I can't resist a man who can make me laugh.
  • Intelligent: He doesn't have to be an astrophysicist, but whether it's books or general knowledge, he's smart. He can teach me something I don't already know.
  • Insightful: He can read his partner's moods, he can understand why or how she's feeling a certain way.
  • Generous: I don't need a man to keep me - I make my own money. I'm talking general generosity; a man who will share his time, love... and chocolate. 
  • Kinky: This definitely wouldn't apply to everyone, but *my* perfect man is kinky as fuck. 
  • Protective: Is it just me, or is a man who looks after his family, friends and woman not irresistible?
  • Dominant: This one goes without saying. My perfect man knows what he wants; especially from me.
  • Romantic: Little notes left lying around, compliments, remembering his girl's favourite food, drink or erogenous zones... there are so many ways to be romantic.
  • Faithful: Goes without saying. Even if the relationship is an open one, he doesn't hide other women from you. 
  • Reliable: If he says he'll do something, he will do it. Nothing worse than a man you can't depend on.
  • Honest: White lies are okay. Real lies are never okay.
  • Humble: The perfect man is readily able to admit when he's made a mistake. After all, nobody's perfect!

What about you? Do you have any 'ideal man' traits I forgot? Please leave your comments below!

L is for Letters...

So far, my blog entries have all been vaguely about BDSM and all its subgenres... but for the letter L I wanted to go a different route. I could have picked 'latex', 'leather', 'lace' or even 'lust' - but instead I chose 'letters' - the kind you write, not the kind in the alphabet.



When was the last time you received - or wrote - a real letter? A handwritten one, on paper, not an email or a text message... 

I always used to love getting letters in the post... that interminable wait, the stamp, the envelope, the handwriting, the way every single one was unique and I knew it had taken time and effort to compose and send.

These days, sending 'snail mail' has become something of a forgotten art, but the beauty of letters seems merely to increase with time. Take the following example...




A love story; a tale of a man and his wife, their son and their baby daughter, born while her Daddy was away fighting during WWII.

For four long years, through trials and tribulations, the man wrote to his wife every single day. He thanked her for parcels she sent him, the cakes and biscuits she baked, the way she was raising their children, he told her how much he missed her, how much he loved her, how beautiful she was. He lied to her to protect her, to make sure she wasn't worried about him. Some letters were short, some were long; some were melancholy and others were more upbeat, but he wrote to her every single day, no matter whether he was in a field, a bunker or the barracks.

Until he was killed.

It's a tragic story, but it's also a beautiful one, and I for one am glad those letters withstood the test of time and can touch people even now, some 70 years after they were penned.

Love and hugs,

~ Tabby x

K is for... Knives!

I love knives. Love them. Edge play, knife play, sharp, shiny blades... they make me squee like nothing else. Here's an excerpt to describe just what knives do to me - this is from Sharing Silver. Enjoy!




She was unable to tear her eyes away from what he was holding, what he had obviously been keeping in his belt. A shiny, ornate, glittering knife.
"Get up," Trevor said roughly. Once she had done so, he wrapped her hair around his fist and drew her close to him, bending her backwards and kissing her fiercely, on and on until her knees felt like water.
"So fucking beautiful," he whispered, his eyes boring into hers.
Silver didn't know how to respond. She wanted to tell him how devoted she was, how much she wanted to please them both, but instead she gazed at him, helplessly. She could feel the pulse beating in her throat.
"Ready for her now," Travis said, from the corner.
"We're gonna start with a little exercise in self-control," Trevor went on, still gripping her hair in the most deliciously painful way. "I like to set a girl on fire. Master Travis, on the other hand... well... you're about to find out. Go to him, Silver girl."
He released her hair then, and gave her a gentle push towards where Travis was standing beside the spanking bench. It had been realigned to resemble a table.
"Lie on your back, Silver girl," Travis said. "We're not going to restrain you. Yet."
"Like I said, self-control," Trevor added. "You have to remain completely still... can you do that?"
Almost frozen with both lust and fear, Silver nodded. "Y-yes, Master."
When Travis once more produced the knife and laid it across her throat, she felt herself gush. They must have really studied my intake form, she thought irrationally. I think I underlined 'edge play', 'knife play' and 'breath play' three times, and even drew little stars around them.
"Such pale, satiny skin," Travis was almost growling, his eyes blazing with intensity. "You'd better not move, Silver girl. I'd hate to cut you. Well," he chuckled, "unintentionally, anyway."
As he began to draw the blade across her chest, she moaned at the sharp sting. Her nipples were so hard she was sure they could cut glass.
"Does that feel good, baby?" Travis crooned, drawing lines of exquisite heat over her breasts and over her belly.
Already incapable of coherent speech, Silver moaned, her fingers gripping the sides of the table so hard that her knuckles were white.
"It's such a clever thing," he went on, "it feels like I'm slicing you open... but I promise you I'm not."
Silver wasn't too sure whether it really mattered anymore. She trusted both men implicitly, but there were certainly worse ways to go.
"And now for the test," Trevor said, and she felt his hand slide between her thighs. "I'm gonna make you come, Silver girl, and you are going to have to remain completely still throughout."
An unearthly, guttural groan echoed around the stone walls of the dungeon, and she realised it had come from her, as Trevor's fingers found her straining, throbbing bud and began to caress it, lightly.
"Don't you dare fucking move," Travis reminded her, the knife still trailing sharply across her lower belly. "I'm serious, Silver girl. If I wanted to cut you, I'd be using a scalpel and doing it properly."
A shudder threatened to overcome her, and she realised she was biting her lip, hard. "Pl-please, Master, please may I cum?" she whimpered.
"Can you do it without moving?" Trevor's fingers were insistent, ruthless, manipulating her clit with a precision she could never hope to emulate, not even herself.
I don't care if he cuts me, I need to come! "Y-yes, Master, please..." she pleaded instead. She looked down and saw the gleam of Trav's knife tracing faint scarlet lines across her pale skin and then, beyond that, Trevor's dark eyes as he watched her intently. His delicious lips moved before she heard the word.
"Now."
