Q . Z a y n e B o o k s

The first episode of Cleo’s journey with the scorching hot dom Marcus is free on all the major online bookstores. I love writing the Submission Island series. My early BDSM experiences in San Francisco fueled this series, and I had a blast creating sexy, suspenseful dom & curvy erotic romance. I hope everything is going as well for you and your loved ones as possible. It cheered me up to write that Free Spanking headline!

“An island devoted to your fantasy, wow. So far I’m very impressed with plot, character build and attention to descriptive glory. Really puts you right there with Cleo” —Barnes & Noble reader

You’d think a person could go on deflowering legal-age virgins for years, right?
No. Well, I could, but I prefer variety in all things. My Submission Island series is for readers like me who relate more to a seasoned heroine. Cleo is 28, sassy, smart, prickly, and curve-alicious. As her friend Jen says, her body offers more to love.

Cleo is Egyptian on her mother’s side and named for Cleopatra. She’s frustrated with her job, stung from a breakup, and in need of a dominant man’s sexy attention without any hassles. A vacation at an inclusive Caribbean resort for ultra wealthy sadomasochists offers the perfect opportunity, right?

Wait till you meet Marcus. Rawr.

Erotica & Erotic Romance: Sensuality & Peace in the Moment

It’s disconcerting to be far from home, getting smatterings of details from all over the world. I find it necessary to disconnect and focus on small things. The large birds trilling in the garden, the striped tails of the sunning iguanas, the sunlight filtered through the curtains. I’m enjoying my first cup of coffee late today. It seemed like a good idea to reduce caffeine and remain calm. Our senses are powerful. A whiff of cinnamon or apples transports us to memories. A touch relaxes or arouses. A berry or chocolate at the tip of your tongue gives pleasure. Breathing, slowing down, and savoring brings relief. Part of the magic of erotic fiction is that it brings us into the moment. Our minds and bodies take a journey. That’s the powerful freedom of erotic fiction.

“Delicious! I could feel every thrust and each ass-warming slap.”—A Google user on Spanking: Submission Island 1

Spanking: Submission Island 1 Free & Episodes 2-5 99c each

Here’s a sensual distraction,  a sexy spanking by a strong and tender man. Submission Island is full 85k Romantic Suspense with detailed sex in every episode and HEA at the end. I published it in Erotica due to the high heat and serial structure. All the episodes are live, and I’m discounting them all to 99c for this week. This is the first time I’ve ever discounted episodes 3-5 below 2.99, except for smaller reductions exclusively on Smashwords during their special sales. I hope it gives a wonderful relief. There’s nothing like a Caribbean escape for releasing stress!

The price change on the rest of the series might take a few hours. The Spanking ebook is already set to 0 at all the online bookstores.

“This was a refreshing change from so much of what passes for BDSM writing. A female protagonist who knows what she needs, but has almost given up on finding it. A dominant male who conveys what he wants without being overbearing or arrogant.”—Cat, Amazon customer

I hope this adventure offers you a sweet escape. There’s something seductive about the Caribbean Sea. Come and explore an exciting island with me.

BTW, Cleo and Marcus are one of my favorite couples. She’s bright and strong, he’s guarded, and they face challenging discoveries together. There’s some heroine peril, but it’s not super dark.

Hot. As if the author pulled the fantasy out of me, before I knew it was there. Well written. Nice to find a book without typos and such.—Mary on Amazon

Your Journey to Submission Island Begins Here

Cleo discovers she can experience the complete fulfillment of her secret desires. She has only to ask.
A joking email from my favorite co-worker leads me to a naughty site. Submission Island offers a free, all-expenses paid vacation at a Caribbean resort for qualified women.
It doesn’t seem likely the exclusive resort would accept a curvy, half-Egyptian, twenty-eight year-old with limited kinky experience. The application reads like a menu for perversion. I click off the Yes, No, Maybe activities and upload my most appealing lingerie photo. Hell, I need a vacation full of sex with no ties except the ones that get undone after a happy ending.
This time, I’ll go for having my erotic dreams come true.
Something happens when you face your deepest desires. You change. You can’t turn back.
I enter a labyrinth where I get to choose what happens to me.
I think a spanking will be safe.

My heart pounded. I stopped on the threshold, staring into the shadows. I smelled leather.
“Shut the door, please.”
His deep, resonant voice sounded familiar. That wasn’t possible. I bit my lip. It took all my willpower to shut the door on the hall that led to the exit. Shutting the door meant I was in here. Hell, opening it meant I made my choice. This was my one room for today. I may as well make the most of it. I let go of my fantasy that this was going to be a non-threatening experience.
The imposing figure of the man in the shadows was threatening as hell.
He had the bulk of a boxer, yet a refined profile. His ear, the one part of him illuminated, would have fit on a bust of the emperor Caesar. He had a neat beard, not one of those chin scruff things, a real man’s beard.

I’m not going to travel in the immediate future, so I’m steeling myself for an extremely hot summer. I love Merida, the capital of Yucatan in Mexico.  As much as I’ve adapted to spending months at a time in hot, humid places, summers here are intense. I’m grateful I have books in progress, and that things are peaceful. That’s enough for right now. I’m also grateful for the internet, for staying in touch with friends all over the world. Where ever you are, be good to yourself.  Extra TLC is on the menu! Let’s escape into adventure.
