Guest Post: "Where’s Your Kink" by Cari Silverwood + Giveaway

We are delighted to welcome Cari Silverwood to BLI today to talk about a kinky subject related to Iron Dominance, her August 2011 Loose ID publication. Iron Dominance was released to rave reviews and has been nominated in 4 Categories in the Authors After Dark 2012 Bookie Awards!

Cari lives in Australia, with her lovely family including a prerequisite teenager who dwells in the dark bedroom catacombs…a husband who raises eyebrows when he catches glimpses of what she writes, and a furry menagerie of other animals barking, meowing, and swimming about the place.

Before writing her first novel, Three Days of Dominance she had never dipped her little toes in the hot and lust-swirled sea of erotica. Now every time she turns around, there’s some new character making her write down their story in the most lurid way. Her people are quite adamant about explaining creative new ways of making …
