NET ASSET (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Chimera, price £4.99 and available in W H Smith, Volume One and many other bookstores.

Jobless Lianne Connolly takes in model Ellen Sanderson as a lodger and is talked into standing in for one of Ellen's colleagues, who has fallen ill - but this is no ordinary photoshoot, as a wide-eyed Lianne quickly discovers!

Nadia Muirhead, the driving force behind an extraordinarily creative team, is striving to create the world's most exotic comic strip, with Lianne and Ellen as the rubber clad heroines-in-distress. At first stunned, Lianne soon finds herself swept up in a world of bondage and eroticism and becomes as wide-legged as she is wide-eyed.

However, events take a disasterous turn when Lianne is kidnapped by a traitor in their midst and finds herself being forced to recreate her role for the mastermind behind a scheme to bring the comic strip live to the Internet.

This time, though, there are two essential differences - no salary and no choices. This time it is for real and Lianne is a truly helpless rubber slave!

INNOCENT CORINNA (Faith Eden)

Published by Chimera, price £4.99 and available in W H Smith, Volume One and many other bookstores.

Kidnapped by a mercenary, just days after her marriage of convenience, the beautiful Lady Corinna is spirited away into the dark forests that surround her aristocratic home. She is rapidly taught the pleasures of submission and the pain of disobedience as, held hostage for political reasons, she learns to succumb to the cruel desires of her lewd new masters and mistresses.

Set in a world of villains, anti-heroes, slaves and sexual debauchery, this is the story of a girl forced to choose between her nature and her duty. A princess who dreams of being a slave, she must endure much if she is to save her father's throne and country.

From the sanguine mercenary Savatch, to the ice cool amazon warrior princess Alanna, via the voracious and busty serving wench Moxie and her scheming lesbian mistress Dorothea, Innocent Corinna is full of some of the most entertaining characters that have ever invaded my pages. There is much buckling of the swash, ravishing of maidenheads (and other parts!) and my usual black humour seeping through from time to time.

My editor said that this was the first book he'd edited that he couldn't put down and he wants a follow-up as soon as possible. And I thought poor Corinna had gone through enough in this book alone!

ASSIGNMENT FOR ALISON (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Chimera, price £4.99 and available in W H Smith, etc, from January 1999

Alison Katt is a young investigative reporter with a well-known provincial newspaper and, when her editor, Mike Hallett, asks her to go under cover to get the real story behind a secret society run by a very shady and powerful businessman, she baulks when she realises that she is expected to become a helpless, rubber-clad slavegirl.

However, when she is initially sent to a dominatrix friend of Mike's, for training and experience, the crash-course presses a button in her libido and she finds herself swept along in the role with true abandon. Mike himself cannot believe the change that her experience has wrought in her and tries to persuade her not to take on the assignment after all.

The determined Ally Katt, however, will not be deflected, but soon finds that the slavery into which she so willingly commits herself is somewhat more extreme and severe than even her wildest fantasies could have conjured up.

Hardly a women's libber, Ally nonetheless strikes a blow for a liberty of a different kind, a freedom which can only be born of total helplessness!

PONY BOY (Patrick O'Neill)

Published by Olympia Press, price £10.00 plus p&p, mail order only.

Originally written under the title Binding Contract, this novelette is a blinding example of how the characters and events in a story can just up and take it over.

Thanks to a miserably unfortunate set of coincidences, Roger Mason is mistaken for one Richard Mason and abducted in his stead, waking from a drugged sleep to find himself helplessly encased in rubber and wearing a curious pair of hooved boots. At first he cannot believe that it is not all some sort of nightmare, but he quickly realises that what is happening to him is all too real.

To his captors, Roger has now become Folly, human ponyboy, trained to race pulling special carts, his own driven by the diminutive Heidi, a rubber clad nymphomaniac, masked and booted in ballerina styled heels, the answer to most men's fetish demands - except that Heidi's demands take precedence when they are alone in the stable and poor Folly is helpless to resist.

When Constance bellamy-Fraser, the head of this bizarre organisation, discovers the mix-up in identities, she punishes the haughty Mistress Philippa, who was responsible for the original mistake, by sentencing her to spend three months in the stables herself, as a racing filly renamed Firefoot. Madness and mayhem result, with races, crashes and subtle changes taking place within Roger. For a start, he is starting to grow breasts!

PONY BOY 2 - THE RACE IS ON (Patrick O'Neill)

With black and white illustrations by the author

Published by Olympia Press, price £10.00 plus p&p, mail order only.

Folly and Firefoot are now teamed up as a racing pair, identical in every way but one - the permanently erect phallus that bobs along in front of Folly, keeping perfect time with the four massive breasts from which jangle the couple's racing bells. Once again the sex mad Heidi is in the driving seat, impaled upon her special saddle seat, as the team set out to become world beaters in the "Cock and Cunt Pairs Championships".

The adventures of Folly and Firefoot have proven so popular that a third book is planned for the New Year, but what ever else could possibly befall them after this?

DETAINED AT PLEASURE (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Avid-Diva, Price £7.99, inc of p&p, mail order only.

Britain in the 21st century, with a totalitarian regime and privatisation gone mad. Martin Benson and Shelley Gibson, members of the growing resistance movement, are arrested and sentenced to long prison terms on a remote Scottish island penal institution.]

The prison system is also privatised and every island colony has to be not only self-sufficient, but show a profit, either by agricultural, or industrial means. However, the island to which the unfortunate pair are transported has its own particular industry - sex.

Run by the enigmatic Montgomery Lynch and the stunning, but cruel Lydia Pierce, Carne Craig Head sells bizarre experiences to anyone with enough cash to afford its facilities, but, apart from the rubber, leather and satin world of deviance, there is another, hidden agenda at work.

Geneticist, Professor O'Leary, has spent years perfecting a technique for turning suitable young men into hermaphrodites, gradually honing the treatment to a state of near perfection and now he is ready to put his skills and researches to the ultimate test - the "Daisy Project". Martin, initially unsuspectiing, is selected as one of the guinea pigs and soon starts to take on the physical appearance of his new name, Daisy 23.

Shelley, meanwhile, is faring little better and her sufferings are increased as she is forced to watch the transformation and subjugation of her former lover.

BONNIE - BONDAGE PILGRIM

Book One - A Master's Slave (Harmony Laine)

Published by Olympia Press, price £10.00 plus p&p, mail order only. Available from November.

Applying for a job as housekeeper to the fantastically wealthy inventor and businessman Michael Harding, Bonnie finds herself thrown into a world of slavery and bondage, where her employer's fabulous imagination is brought to reality thanks to his seemingly immeasurable fortune.

Bonnie finds herself in the role of helpless mannequin, mermaid, slave girl and ballroom rubber queen, rapidly falling under the spell, not only of the bizarre costumes which she is required to wear, but also of the apparently untouchable Micjael harding himself.

This is the first volume in what is planned as a saga of Gordian proportions and if the reaction of the editorial staff and readers at Olympia is anything to go by, I shall be writing about Bonnie well after the UK finally joins the Euro currency, whenever that might finally be!

PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG WOMAN (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Avid-Diva, Price £2.50, in manuscript form via e-mail as text format.

This full length novel features a bet between an artist husband and his executive type wife. Yes, you've guessed - he loses, he gets to dress, but there's a twist. Whilst preparing everything for the two week long forfeit, the wife makes contact with a small organisation and the lady in charge of it makes a novel suggestion.

Our hero(ine) is to feature in various sessions with some of her actors and actresses and then draw a comic strip adventure from the photographs. It's very similar to the beginning theme of Net Asset, but where the latter is largely fetish, SM and CP, Portrait is centred around the TV emphasis and is, in many ways, a better book, in my own, humble opinion.

As I have said elsewhere in this site, publishers are very cautious concerning TV themes, which is why I have decided to make this tale available via e-mail and those fans who have already received and read it appear to have borne out my theory regarding the massive TV market waiting out there.

The Reincarnation of Jennifer Jane (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Avid-Diva, Price £2.50, in manuscript form via e-mail as text format.

The second book which I am finding hard to place with the reluctant publishing world is entitled The Reincarnation of Jennifer Jane and is a TV/TS (bodyswap) thriller with a few SM scenes and a climax that will make your spine tingle. The half a dozen or so people who read the manuscript prior to it being offered for sale all agreed, but I have not even offered this to a publisher, as I know how blinkered some of those editors can be. They seem to think that mainly TV based themes won't sell. Has nobody told them there are at least half a million of us out here?

Anyway, climbing down off my soap box, I will say only that, prior to Corinna, I thought that this was the best story I had ever written. Again, it is a full length novel and is available together with Portrait of the Artist As A Young Woman for a discounted price of £4.50 the pair. But please state which text formats you can read from!

Inbetweenie (Jennifer Jane Pope)

Published by Avid-Diva, Price £2.50, in manuscript form via e-mail as text format

This story started life as a serial, intended for a well-known UK TV magazine, which then wanted to publish it as a complete book. Unfortunately, their book publishing project seems to have ground to a halt and their option expired some months back, so here it is, available as part of the Avid-Diva e-mailing project.

Our unwitting hero is a junior in a firm of accountants and when his domineering female boss sends him on an errand to her daughter's fetish boutique, he finds himself enveigled into modelling some outfits for her. Of course, what he doesn't realise until it is too late to pull out, is that these are female outfits and his already effeminate looking physique is rapidly adapted to a new purpose. He becomes an Inbetweenie, neither male nor female, but an object of lust and desire, consigned to spend his days and nights encased in some of the most bizarre creations imaginable.

This can be paired with either of the other Avid-Diva mail titles, at £4.50 per pair, or else all three are available for only £6.00. Ordering details are below.

HOW TO ORDER

Unfortunately, I do not have facilities for accepting credit card payments, nor do I particularly want them. Despite the reassurances of the so-called experts, I still have my doubts about the security aspects of transmitting personal information over the ether.

Forget cash, as mail can too easily go astray and, although we're not talking huge sums here, it's all hard-earned and we don't want to risk what we've worked for. Therefore, we are talking cheques and they should be made payable to:-
