Edited to add: ** Please note that the free give away is now closed **
The hard copy version of my book is available!!! Whee!! So exciting!!
Here’s the cover (the original cover didn’t work for print).
I’m very excited to have an actual BOOK in my hands. I mean… a real honest-to-god hefty weighty fabulous 466 page book!! I could smash someone over the head with this thing!
It’s available from Createspace and Amazon.
To celebrate the release of the print version, I’m going to give away a free copy (doesn’t sound like much, but this sucker is expensive!).
FREE STUFF!!
Entry is quick and simple: Just leave a comment on this post, and you will go into the draw (please put your email in the email field (it will NOT show publicly) so I can contact you).
I will pick a commenter at random on Friday, 4 April, and voila, free book!!
Note: I will happily substitute an e-book if that’s your preference.

I love the new cover!

Thank you! I love it also.
Ferns
:D That’s a real nice cover too, Ferns! The bits and pieces of the book I read on Amazon, I greatly enjoyed. Even gave me some neat ideas to try with my pet, >:3 hehehe.
Thank you. And yay for new ideas *smile*!
(I chuckled at your ‘hehehe’ at the end there…)
Ferns
Mmmmm.. that new book smell.. Surely that’s a fetish in and of itself? :D
YES! I love my kindle (though I resisted for a long time), but it’s just not the same thing.
It’s not just the smell, but the feel of a book, touching the pages, the weight of it, the way it gets worn and loved.
It’s just a completely different thing from e-books.
Ferns
Agreed, totally. I’ve got books that I’ve read that many times (I’m a sci-fi fan) that they are falling apart, and I’m totally needing to buy new copies to replace old copies.
Well worn, enjoyed, and loved indeed.
Also if you hit somebody over the head with a Kindle it will break unlike a book!
That aside I just wanted to give you a cyber hug today Ferns
Love
Coug
P.S. Don’t enter me in the draw I already have the book
Aww, thanks for the hugs, Coug! *hugs back*.
Ferns
Okay, my comment is not for the contest, but for the purpose of I wish to comment. It took some deep concentration to come up with this intelligent comment, but I finally came up with what I wanted to say.
YAY!!!
Highly intelligent, I know.
Respectfully,
Mysticlez
*laugh* Thank you for the yaying!
Ferns
Very nice looking book :)
With some nice sounding stories ;)
Thanks! :)
Ferns
Oh my goodness it is gorgeous! I can vicariously enjoy your excitement at the prospect of seeing all your own words in a real, live, actual book!
I’m glad you like it! And yes, so exciting.
I pored over everything from the cover to the internal layout to the fonts to the frigging SPACING OF PARAGRAPHS *laugh*.
Labour of love.
Ferns
Holy moly oh my goodness it is gorgeous! I am vicariously enjoying your excitement at seeing all your own words in a real, actual, touchable, smellable, book! It’s inspiring. :)
Woops, my phone fucked up, hopefully I didn’t just send like ten comments.
No, only two, but they were both lovely SO I’M KEEPING THEM! :D
Ferns
I heard all about this book on the Masocast, and I can’t wait to read it! The cover looks awesome! Congratulations!
*smile* I pimped it pretty good on Masocast (thanks Axe!!).
I hope you enjoy it (even though you didn’t win a copy… boo).
Ferns
It looks wonderful. I have followed your site for quite a while and I was amazed to find out your were an author as well as a dominant woman. Whether I get the book or not it looks like a masterpiece. Thanks, Miss P
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Ferns
When you said there was a chance of it coming out in physical book form, I knew I needed to wait to buy it. And I really like the cover you’ve come up with for it.
I remember you saying you preferred a hard copy. THIS IS JUST FOR YOU!
HA! I’ve already got a copy winging it’s way to me, and ironically, it is due to show up here on Friday, April 4th!
Yay! I know you got it already. Isn’t it pretty?! And strangely silky-feeling. I kept wanting to pet it when I got mine…
Ferns
Oh wow! Love the cover! Gotta have the hard copy to share with my boy, the object of my own thoughts/actions that are so aligned with yours! I’m recommending this book to EVERYONE!!
Thank you! I love it so much when other women can relate.
Ferns
I totally want your book! And I’m cute so you know I deserve it!
Wait, can I bribe you with naked pictures..?
You are totally cute!
I waited and waited for those naked pictures. They never arrived.
THIS IS WHY YOU DIDN’T WIN!
Ferns
Hey,
I really enjoy reading your blog. I am sure I would enjoy the book even more… ;)
*smile* You would! I just know it.
Ferns
I don’t know how I missed notice of your having a book out, but now that I know it exists, it’s definitely on my to-get list. I hope you had as much fun writing it as people are probably having reading it!
I don’t know how you missed it either. I haven’t shut up about it for months!
Also… *points to the pimpage in the sidebar*
Methinks you just aren’t paying me enough attention!
Ferns
So beautiful! I am so excited for you, and excited to read it!
Thank you! I think it’s beautiful also *smile*.
Ferns
That would look lovely on my nightstand :)
It would!
Also a good conversation starter, though I guess by the time they saw it on your nightstand, that conversation would be old news… :P
Ferns
Paper books are just somehow more satisfying than electronic ones. I love the idea of hitting someone with your book, how appropriate ;)
I agree about the paper books. There is a tactile experience about them that you lose with your kindle.
*grin* I also really like the idea of hitting someone with it. It’s on my to-do list.
Ferns
Oh, that cover is just gorgeous! I’d love to have a copy. *crosses fingers*
Thank you!
I’m sorry that the crossed fingers didn’t work. I think the winner must have crossed fingers AND toes!
Ferns
Great cover! I really like this one.
Thanks, I like it too.
Enough that I didn’t even feel the need to crowdsource it!
Ferns
Oh I LOVE the new cover! Really fantastic!
Thank you! *smile*
Ferns
I can’t wait to read it, whether I’m lucky enough to win a free one or not!
I hope you enjoy it!
Ferns
Ahhh so excited for you. It looks beautiful!
MK
I’m excited too!! And thank you.
Ferns
Oh, jeez, merdorolli would kill for one of these!
*laugh* Oh no! I hope he doesn’t!
Okay, well, maybe like a fly or a mosquito. Totally counts.
Ferns
I’ve been fortunate to have an electric version, but scrolling with one hand is awkward.
*laugh* I actually don’t think that holding a bulky book and flipping a paper page is any easier to be honest.
Also, I hear that the pages can stick together.
You should test this. For science!
Ferns
I really like this version of the cover. I have the e-book, but would love to have the hard copy as well:) It would be nice to be able to lend it.
Thank you!
Just don’t lend it to Hunter. Not until his experiments are finished anyway… :D
Ferns
Love, love, love the cover.
I shall be reading with my boy close at hand. (Whether I win or not)
:)
Thank you *smile*. I really hope you and your boy enjoy it!
Ferns
It’s been said already, but I’ll say it again, THIS COVER ROCKS! This is the best one yet! Congrats, Ferns!
Thank you so much *smile*!
Ferns
Love the new cover! I especially like the subtlety of the collar he’s wearing.
Thank you: I love the look of that collar also.
If I have another long term boy, I’m so getting an infinity collar for him. So gorgeous!
Ferns
I like this cover much better. Good luck with the sales.
Me too, and thanks for the good wishes *smile*.
Ferns
So exciting for you! Love the new cover.
SO exciting!! Thanks.
Ferns
Squeeee!!!! A REAL book!
One way or the other, I will have one of those babies on my bookshelf soon!
~ Aoide
I KNOW! FOR REALLY REAL!! *laugh*
It looks pretty cute on a bookshelf. Almost like a real book… heh.
Ferns
Wow. Great cover. Thanks for sharing and it looks so great
Thanks, I’m glad you like it!
Ferns
I really like that cover, the collar looks very like the one my subbyhubby wears…although he is much hairier with lovely tattoos :)
I love those collars, they are so beautiful. It’s lovely to hear that your husband wears one.
Ferns
Your book looks stunning – in both the literary and physical sense! And the cover is lovely indeed :) (We already know the contents are bound to be amazing!)
xx Dee
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me *smile*.
Ferns
I’m just here for the free stuff.
LIES! I know you love me.
Ferns
Free Stuff? I’m in!
*laugh* NO FREE STUFF FOR YOU!
Ferns
To echo everyone else, it looks like a beautiful book and I’m hoping I win a copy!
(I’m a straight female sub and I’m still reacting this way? Wow. You’re impressive!)
*laugh* That so made me laugh, thank you for it!
Ferns
You’re an inspiration and an educator. I love your honesty and insight. Your blogs are hot! Will buy the book if I don’t get chosen. Congrats!
Thank you so much for the lovely compliment *smile*. And congratulations on your win!
Ferns
I would love to share this with my wife.
That sounds like a really lovely idea. I hope you will still do that.
Ferns
Congratulations on the hard copy! The cover looks great. I’ve already got the ebook and I’ve loved it. I’d love a hard copy though, for someone who I know will appreciate it and doesn’t like ebooks. I really enjoy your writing style and the short vignettes.
Thank you so much for the congratulations and the lovely feedback *smile*. It is much appreciated!
Ferns
Oh crapola!!!! I’ll bet I’m too late. Pick me! Pick me! Killer cover and I can’t believe you had the stamina to write almost a 500 page book!
You were not too late at all!
I’m glad you like the cover, and I can’t quite believe it either! It’s like proper for-real book size!
Ferns
Thank you for all the kind words everyone! Your support is wonderful, truly!
I’m really happy with the final cover, and really excited to have a hefty physical book in my hands. E-books just aren’t the same thing, even though I have come to love my Kindle.
I can’t wait to give one away. Fun!
Ferns
This would be an amazing addition to my bookshelf. I might buy it regardless of if I win it…
It would, because look, it’s so pretty *laugh*. And thank you!
Ferns
I’m asking myself the question: Do I feel lucky? ;^)
(BTW, will it be a signed copy?)
Well, do ya, punk?! *laugh*
I would LOVE to do signed copies in general, but I’m afraid it’s really difficult. The book gets printed in the US, so to sign it, I would have to have it shipped to me, then I would have to ship it to whoever.
That means it would be really costly (around $50… eek!) AND it means that I would need a real name and address for shipping.
Both of those are show-stoppery :(.
Ferns
I’m very excited for this book!
Me too! *smile*
Ferns
I don’t have anything clever to say, but this is exciting!
*smile* Exciting indeed!
Also you never answered my Very Important Question about my accent. DON’T THINK I DIDN’T NOTICE :P!
Ferns
You really think a bit of swag will tempt the shy people out of lurking? It won’t wor…
Oh. Hmm.
No of course I don…
Oh wait…
*smug*
Ferns
The cover looks great – what a big accomplishment, congrats!!
Thank you so much *smile*.
Ferns
yay book!
Yay sgath!
Ferns
Loved the e-book. Would enjoy a copy for my shelf!
Thanks Najak *smile*.
Ferns
<3!
:))!
Ferns
Love the new cover~ Sends some good shivers down my spine Ferns!
Good shivers are awesome *smile*.
Ferns
I keep finding new favourite parts in your book- but I can’t leave the Kindle version lying around…
I want to show you off! X
*smile* That’s so lovely, thank you! I do like to be shown off!
Ferns
Oh, I would LOVE one. It would make an amazing gift for my boy. <3
It would! I hope he gets to have one anyway.
Ferns
Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! You know I love the cover. But I’ve read all the stories. When is the sequel coming? These things always come in threes you know. :)
Thank you!
*laugh* Threes?!
OMG the pressure!!
Ferns
Are hard copies of your book still available
Absolutely *smile*. Both hard and electronic copies are available on Amazon.
The paperback version is here.
