Katy Swann | Writing BDSM Romance

facebooktwittergoodreads

I sort of stumbled into writing erotic romance. I had initially only intended to write
one erotic short story just to prove to myself that I could write something a bit
naughty. I had previously written vanilla romantic ghost stories, but had been thinking
about trying my hand at something a bit saucier for a while. I had a brief storyline in
mind and so started writing what should have been a short story. But I became so caught
up in the characters that I carried on writing until I ended up with what eventually
became a trilogy. It was whilst writing this that I discovered my love of writing BDSM
romance, with an emphasis on Dominance and submission.

I became passionate about showing the beauty of a D/s relationship. Not only the trust,
respect and honesty involved, but also how sexy Dominance and submission can be.
Whether itโ€™s the heroine simply kneeling at the feet of her Dom or the hard spanking he
gives her whilst sheโ€™s bent over his knee, itโ€™s incredibly hot. The best sex comes from
the mind and D/s is all about being in the right headspace. I love coming up with
different ways for the Dom to torment the heroine to get her into this headspace and
the fun they have as a result.

Iโ€™ve become so used to writing erotic romance now that Iโ€™m not sure I could write a
vanilla romance anymore. The temptation to make the male lead pin down the heroine and
give her a good hard spanking is just too strong.

I recently wrote a story called KNEEL FOR YOU, part of the OVER THE KNEE anthology, which sums up my love of spanking and D/s fiction. Kirsten, the heroine, is a journalist who is given an assignment to write an article about BDSM. Kirsten protests at first, claiming not to know anything about BDSM, but that isnโ€™t strictly true. She had once been very active in the BDSM lifestyle, but thereโ€™s no way she wants anyone to know that. Despite her initial misgivings she ends up writing an exceptional piece about Britainโ€™s kinky secrets that even gets her praise from her hard-to-please boss. The icing on the cake for Kirsten, though, is the Dom she meets during her research. He soon reintroduces her to the joys of submission, spanking and very kinky sex. I had so much fun writing this story and canโ€™t wait to get cracking with the next one. I think Iโ€™ll be sticking to erotic romance for quite some time. KNEEL FOR YOU will be on general release by Totally Bound Publishing on 27 November 2015.

About Katy Swann

Katy Swann is in her forties and lives near London, UK with her husband, three children and two cats.

Katy writes BDSM romance with an emphasis on D/s. She finds the D/s dynamic the most
exciting and erotic aspect of BDSM although a good spanking or flogging comes a close
second. Her books are first and foremost love stories with a large dose of D/s and
kinky sex.

The Boundaries Trilogy (TO LOVE AND SUBMIT, TO LOVE AND TRUST & TO LOVE AND OBEY) was published in December 2013 and was her first release. She is currently working on a new series of standalone BDSM romance novels called Dominion.

Coffee, chocolate and cats are her favourite things and are often close by when she
sits down to write.
