Author Q&A - April '25
Added 2025-04-13 16:20:40 +0000 UTCIt's nearly 9 months since you guys had a Q&A with me - back when this Patreon was first launched last year. So I thought that this month, we'd give the story characters a break.
Now that this Patreon has been up and running for a little while, let's see if there's anything else you want to know.
I want you to feel free to ask anything you like, and I'll do my best to answer.
Maybe you newcomers have your own queries about my background, personal experiences, writing journey and aims. Or you want to know about my inspirations, future plans, or whatever else might interest you.
You can post your questions in the comments section below, or message me directly via Patreon.
So don't be shy!

Hi Marco, I don't think there's any particular scene or coupling that I haven't been able to do. I've got plenty to go at. I have a real wide spectrum of tastes and too many fetishes to count 😁. I try to be guided in my writing to a large extent by the feedback from you guys. I get requests to go deeper and darker - say into heavier aspects of S&M. I'd happily experiment and try some of it, but I know that even if got past the censors, it would probably turn off more readers than it turned on. I have had one idea rolling around my head for while and which I know I'd enjoy, but I don't knbow about the readers. It's just a self-obsessed young woman discovering that an older married man is obsessed with her. And he's submissive. Her eyes are opened to the possibilities of blackamil and then a femdom relationship. Similar to the 'Walk All Over Me' series of mine (which didn't do that well!) Maybe Lanie can tread a few steps down that path at some point though.. You asked a question about Amazon's censorship policies too. Don't worry about not understanding it. I never met anyone who does. Yes of course, you're right. Characters are tortured (without requesting it) or murdered etc and like most other homes that house fiction (in print or on film), those acts are no problem. Books tend not to get sent back to authors and changes requested. They just don't easily appear in search results and so sales suffer. Some maybe do get banned and I do know authors themselves can then get dumped off the platform. But it can be hard to get to the bottom of what an exact 'issue' is. To be fair to Patreon, they were more forthcoming about my Sophie thread. Speaking of bottoms, I do know that bare butts can get a book into trouble on there. Yeah. go figure. But it's why, despite me being a huge fan of the twin orbs, you don't see any on my ebook covers! 🥹

2025-04-17 11:36:15 +0000 UTCHello Tinto, I had a couple of questions. First question: Has there been a particular scene/scenario/coupling that you haven't written about yet that you are dying to do but just haven't found the right place to shoehorn it in? Second Question: Your comment about banning books on Amazon has me wondering about Amazon. How does the censorship even work there? I am completely confused about the process of what is considered acceptable and what is not. I see there are horror stories on there where people get tortured, mutilated, and murdered, and those are allowed, but certain erotic stories are not allowed. Do you know what you are allowed to put on there, and how it is determined that your book has passed inspection? Have you ever had a book sent back to you and told to change someone on Amazon to be allowed to post it?

2025-04-17 08:02:01 +0000 UTCHi Giancarlo, Yes, I'm planning for the next ebook series to be a standalone which is not set in Richmond's world. Tough though though the lure might be for me to resist! I'd like to do it for a change though. I did post a poll about it a while back where the majority lied the idea of it (whilst maintaining the Lanie story and familiar characters exclusively for here). I'm not exactly sure what the next series will be yet but it's scheduled for early post-summer. It's interesting that you particularly enjoyed the 'My Wife Reclaimed' series. I would say it's one of my darker (and dirtier) stories and one - which if some readers had their way - would have seen me take the characters even further into the depths. And proably gotten banned by Amazon in the process! Anyhow, I'm intrigued to know which was the favorite scene you mention..🤨 Drop me a DM if you'd sooner not shout about it. Regards, Tinto
