James Hardcourt
James has been creating kinky smut for a couple of decades - it's mostly been in his head until now - and more recently on his unexpectedly popular Tumblr blog.
Buy books on Amazon
He writes erotica and non-fiction about edging, orgasm denial, chastity play and anything else kinky he can come up with. His books explore the twists and turns of BDSM power dynamics, hot consent and erotic predicaments.
He's married to Jane, who runs her own blog too, and somewhere in the mix they've managed to produce a couple of wonderful kids. They live happily just outside of London, England, and their friends and family are entirely oblivious to just what avid kinksters they are.

An author of sex bondage books was sentenced Thursday to two years in federal prison for sending obscene material to a 17-year-old girl in New York who wanted to be part of his polyamorous family.
Charles Michael Segaloff, 60, of Lawton, pleaded guilty in April to one felony count of sending offensive material to an individual under 18.
During Thursday's sentencing, Segaloff told an Oklahoma City federal judge that he didn't think he was breaking the law but accepts responsibility for his actions.
"This was the stupidest thing I've ever done," Segaloff said. "I believed, at the time, my actions were legal. I was wrong, and I'm sorry."
In a court document filed Monday, Segaloff's attorney, Joseph G. Sha -

She works (when she must), she writes (when there’s nothing on TV), and she collects her government check every weekend (party!).

Sadly, the last time that happened the only people who got it on video were the crew from “COPS.” You can email Stephanie if you’re like Dr. Dolittle and you can talk to the animals.

J.L. Langley
JL has been talking since she was about seven months old. To those who know her it comes as no surprise, in fact, most will tell you she hasn’t shut up since. At eighteen months, she was speaking in full sentences. Imagine if you will the surprise of her admirers when they complimented her mother on “what a cute little boy” she had and received a fierce glare from said little boy and a very loud correction of “I’m a girl!” Oddly enough, JL still finds herself saying that exact phrase thirty-some-odd years later.

K.A. Mitchell
K.A. Mitchell discovered the magic of writing at an early age when she learned that a carefully crayoned note of apology sent to the kitchen in a toy truck would earn her a reprieve from banishment to her room. Her career as a spin-control artist was cut short when her family moved to a two-story house, and her trucks would not roll safely down the stairs. Around the same time, she decided that Chip and Ken made a much cuter couple than Ken and Barbie and was perplexed when invitations to play Barbie dropped off. She never stopped making stuff up, though, and was surprised to find out that people would pay her to do it. Although the men in her stories usually carry more emotional baggage than even LAX can lose in a year, she guarantees they
