Phil The Shelf Series Kd Grace And Hazel Cushion

Radio or Not, Here I Come!

I had the very big pleasure of being interviewed, along with Hazel Cushion, Managing Director, and Dominatrix of Xcite Books, (As Phil has dubbed her) by Phil Rickman for his popular Phil the Shelf programme on BBC Radio Wales. Phil Rickman is the author of the best selling Merrily Watkins mysteries, the John Dee series and several paranormal novels. Though I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting the man face to face, I was ushered into the studios of the BBC Radio facility on the Surrey University Campus several weeks ago, and there, alone in the small cubicle, Phil’s ethereal voice filtered into my ear via the magic of techy stuff. The interview lasted about twenty minutes, covering everything from Fifty Shades of Grey mummy porn to interesting uses for truffles in The Initiation of Ms Holly.

First, unwrap your truffle…

“Don’t bite… savour it, roll it around in your mouth. There are places on the tongue that taste only sweet and places that taste only bitter or salt or sour… Caress it in your mouth, and you’ll be amazed at what you taste…”

That is from The Initiation Of Ms Holly by KD Grace, an erotic novel. Mummy porn. It was published by Xcite, an imprint of Accent Books, based at The Old School, Bedlinog, Glamorgan.

I’ve always liked women’s fiction. It tends to be more psychologically-acute, probes deeper into emotions. And women writers, generally, are better at sex. Less self-conscious.

By the time you read this, probably something like one in three women in Wales will have read the so-called ‘mummy-porn’ sado-masochistic, bondage shlockbuster Fifty Shades Of Grey by EL James.

How Fifty Shades Of Grey has led to a boom in raunchy reading material

Press, , , , , ,

Author KD Grace’s erotic novel The Initiation Of Miss Holly (£8, BlueBella.com) also explores a BDSM relationship and has been compared to Fifty Shades Of Grey. She believes books are very powerful, particularly for women.

‘They trigger our imaginations and the creative side of ourselves,’ she says. ‘Women live more in their imaginations than men so when you give us a book, we can picture much more detail in our heads. We can make it more romantic, way hotter and much sexier than if you just give us something on screen.’
