Books
My co-author, Janet W. Hardy, and I have written five books on various aspects of BDSM, sex, and relationships. Three of them are in their second editions, all are still in print. Writing these works with Janet has been an amazing, enlightening, and transforming experience – I am so grateful. Everyone should have a co-author.

When Someone You Love Is Kinky
We wrote this book as a gentle introduction to BDSM lifestyles. Designed to introduce people with no experience to the leather community, this book explains what S/M players do and how we make it safe. We wrote this book for leather people to give to family and friends who wish to understand our lifestyle.
We have received many calls, letters, and emails of heartfelt thanks from partners and families who found ways to understand and go on loving each other after reading this book. Sometimes we actually got to save marriages. We are honored that people outside of our community are willing to listen and learn about our lifestyles. We know from experience that knowledge about healthy S/M practice will relieve fears. We aim to free everyone from negative mythology about BDSM and the loving and lovable people who practice it.

Radical Ecstasy: S/M Journeys to Transcendence
Radical Ecstasy: S/M Journeys to Transcendence chronicles our journeys into S/M spiritual practice. As co-authors and lovers we explore, separately and together, the intersection of S/M and Tantra, in a powerful practice that is becoming known around the world. I have taught workshops and weekends in England, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, and all over the United States. In this book, we describe what we have learned and experienced, and we offer what might be of use to you on your own journeys.
Too many people believe that sexuality and spirituality are mutually exclusive or somehow opposed to each other. Sex is a wonderful manifestation of spirit moving in our lives, in our bodies, and between each other. Sexual sharing creates intense connections and generates great waves of love. Nothing could be more sacred than the sharing of our sexual fire. Available as an Audio Book narrated by the Authors!
