Welcome!

I write hot, erotic, romantic stories, set in all periods, from back in the dark ages (Walpurgis Night) to Medieval times (the Passions series) to contemporay (my most recent releases) and even on into the future (Checkmate in Pleasure Raiders) and fantasy worlds that never were (the GlimmerQuest series).

A couple of things all my stories have in common, though. I always try to make the characters--their emotions, their relationships, and their moral choices--the most important components of the sexual relationship and the story.

And my books often (almost always, in fact)  feature elements that go beyond normal (vanilla) sexual situations.  You'll frequently find bondage, spanking, sexual mastery and menage situations in my stories.  If those things offend you, my stories are NOT for you.

Binding Passion has been released in print, with a wonderful new cover!

Contest!

I’ve been cleaning out my closet and found copies of several of my print books that I need to give away.

At the same time, I’ve looked around at where my books are posted on various sites, including the Ellora’s Cave site, and realized that I have very few reviews.

I need more reviews!  So here’s the deal:

Post a review of one of my books anywhere… Amazon, B&N, AllRomance ebooks, Goodreads, the Ellora’s Cave site, wherever, and send me a link to it.  Of all the responses I get, I’ll choose five people to get their choice from the trade paperbacks I have available.

The review doesn’t have to be a good one. Of course, I love getting great reviews, but I value honesty even more. So it really doesn’t matter if you give me five stars or one star, if you love the book or hate it.  I just hate having my books look so lonely and pitiful and neglected in all these places.  I’d rather a bad review than no review.  Yes, that probably makes me crazy, but there it is.

So post a review somewhere –good, bad or indifferent—and send the link to the review you posted to me at katherinekingston@yahoo.com and I’ll pick five winners on May 31, 2011.

I've sold another novella to Ellora's Cave. This one is a bit different from my norm... It's fem-dom and pretty harsh. At the same time, it's very romantic!

Just got a cover and release date, too -- April 27th!

Blurb: Lieutenant Kevin McQuade isn't looking for love when he visits a house of pleasure while his space freighter is down planet to exchange cargos. He just wants a chance to indulge his submissive sexual fantasies. But in Gilya SaValejo, he finds not just an exquisite dominatrix, but a woman he admires and connects with on levels other than sexual. Even when he admits to her the dark secret that drives most people to get as far from him as possible, Gilya copes with it.  But she has a secret too--one that might just drive him away when he learns about it.

Read an excerpt here.

JENNIFER'S LESSSONS is now available at Ellora's Cave. Click here to order.

The official blurb: An ex-soldier preparing for an engineering career, Blake needs a tutor to help him catch up in his math classes. He gets more than he expected in the brilliant Jennifer. Sparks fly from the moment they meet, and though Blake suspects Jennifer can’t handle his kinky tastes, he can’t resist her. She could benefit from the discipline he offers but neither of them is sure she could live the lifestyle permanently—and anything less isn’t an option for Blake.

JENNIFER'S LESSONS will release on January 25, 2011.

December 30 , 2010

My f orthcoming novella is titled JENNIFER'S LESSONS, and I have a cover:

Blurb:Blake needs a tutor to help him catch up in his math classes. In Jennifer, he gets more than he asked for. Blake, an ex-soldier preparing for an engineering career, and the brilliant Jennifer generate sparks from the beginning. Blake doesn’t see a long-term partner who would share his kinky sexual tastes, but he can’t resist Jennifer.

BDSM is a lifestyle choice for Blake, not just fun and games. Jennifer could benefit from the discipline Blake wants to offer. Neither of them is sure she would want to live the lifestyle permanently, and anything less isn’t an option for Blake. Can they make it work in spite of their differences?
