My novel #BoldStrokes# will be published 9/17. It's the stand-alone sequel to my award-winning novel, #EdgePlay, featuring Erika Grieg, gallery owner/uber-dominatrix. Learn what the art industry & the sex industry have in common. Here's my fab book trailer by Stephanie Monsma

If you've ever wondered what you can do to support an author you like, buying their books on pre-order is one of the best and nicest things you can do. This is especially true for those of us whose subject matter is outside of the mainstream.

#BoldStrokes has much in common w/#EdgePlay, including enthusiastic comments from some impressive early readers, like @Stoya: "I was utterly transported. Erika’s story… [reflects] the reality of sexual labor in the mid-2000s. A gem of a novel, with every note ringing true."

I asked fellow author, @mistressalicia, to read #BoldStrokes. Alicia wrote: "Irresistibly sexy. Boon presents a great understanding of the dominatrix/submissive relationship -- built on mutual trust, respect, caring, and enrichment. You’ll have trouble putting it down!"

And then I asked @stickysexysad, an anthropologist & author, what she thought: "People lust for art, and there is the art of lust, but what of the woman who learns to dominate in both domains? Boon’s sultry and provocative heroine Erika is a woman you won’t soon forget."

PR uberdomme Kelly Cutrone said: “Boon paints an exquisite portrait of the intersection of fine art & the brave women who work in the world of erotic dungeons. Like Erika, an artist of arousal & a dealer of dopamine, Boon creates a masterpiece w/each stroke of her verbal cane.”

There's a lot of rubber/latex in #BoldStrokes, so I sought the opinion of @_LadyBellatrix_ . She said: "I couldn't put it down. It was amazing. #EdgePlay was the appetizer, #BoldStrokes was the main course." Bellatrix has even assigned the novel to her best slaves.🥰😘

It won't be published until September, but it's not too early to order it now. If you do, let me know and I'll reward any eager beavers. And if you want to think of this as a way to serve a lady, get down on your knees & pre-order my f*cking book. 💋

And if you want to start at the beginning, read #EdgePlay. It won the Pauline Reage Novel Award from @NLAInt for its accurate depiction of BDSM, and it won the respect of financial journalists for its accurate depiction of the financial crisis of 2008.

Tell me if you're a member of #TeamErika or #TeamAmy. Whichever woman you choose, you come out a winner!

#BoldStrokes is an editors pick for @AirMailWeekly ! They write: "And if you have no desire to go into any dungeons and are allergic to latex, Bold Strokes is highly entertaining even for those who just like to read."
