About Jude
This is the page
where I get to tell you a little about myself and no one can give me a bad
time about being long winded. Born way too many years ago, in a tiny
community off the west coast of Canada, I learned to love the outdoors and
anything to do with the ocean pretty much as soon as I could walk.
Married, at the ripe old age of eighteen to my high school sweetheart,
we live very happily, still on the coast and in a small town.
I've written
for most of my life, but until I found the internet in the late 1990's,
had hidden all those nasty tales that would creep onto the pages. There,
amazingly, I found that others wanted to read them. And so, I worked at
improving a skill I had always loved, but had never tried to polish. It's
also where my dream began, to actually do something with these erotic
tales that seemed to gush out of me.
I joined a small online writing group called Erotica
Writers Too, which somehow I managed to inherit. That lasted a few years,
but finally, I couldn't spare the time to run it and had to close its
doors. That's where I met, and became good friends with D. Musgrave, a
talented man who's also been a wonderful help with his editing skills.
Somewhere along the way, I
decided I wanted a place to show off, and that's when this site came into
being. I got shuffled a few times, learned about website building and
agonized over the, 'how to's' and ' why won't that *&%$#@* work?' until what
you see here finally emerged. Now it's an ongoing labor of love. I stash
my bits here as I please and called
it:
~My
Haven~
I joined
Erotica Readers and
Writers Association, in among all this and it
was there, I continued the polishing of my craft. I' have several works published on
their site, a few permanently archived much to my pleasure, so check them
out if you have time. It's an amazing site with some of the most
fantastic authors, editors and resources on the internet.
I
wrote for several e-zines over the next few years,
Darker Pleasures,
a fetish zine where I learned a great deal about discipline and
deadlines.
I wrote for two spanking sites, A Private Affair
and The Domestic Disciplinarian, both defunct now, unfortunately, were a real eye opener and I learned that I could
negotiate what rights I was willing to give up and where I needed to
draw the line.
Man's Story 2,
a great site where the women are gorgeous, and in some peril or other
and the men are handsome and always willing to come to the rescue, at a
price, wink, wink, nudge nudge. I have work scattered all over the net,
For the
Girls,
loveyoudivine
and
The Dominants View, along with
several others.
I've
gone from the publishing houses of Amatory Ink, to Renaissance E-Books,
to Venus Press, all of which closed their doors after much too short a
time. I'm now
writing for two publishers.
Phaze, an amazing publisher run by an
equally amazing woman named Kat Lively who has taken several of my Venus
Press titles and republished them. I'm thrilled
to be among the many authors published by Phaze and have books in both
ebook and print with them now. I plan to stick with them for the
foreseeable future. Keep an eye open for several new things coming
out with them over the next few months.
I've joined to the publishing house of
Total-E-Bound
and am thrilled with how they treat their authors. I've
got several single author titles with them now and have become the
Canadian half of a writing team with a great friend, Jenna Byrnes. We began working together in early 2008 and, at first, we were
both a little afraid we'd wind up arguing, but it's been awesome. So
far, we've had two series' accepted with Total-E-Bound, as well as another
series with Phaze.
So that's me
for now. Check out these two fantastic publishing houses to find
my work. I've also got a
blog and a
MySpace thing, oh and I've begun making video trailers for my
books too. Check those out at
