If you need to find me on any weekday morning, then I'm usually to be found in the far corner of my favourite cafe, with a large black coffee in one hand, and a ballpoint pen in the other. I spend each and every morning immersed in thoughts of all things kinky, thoroughly enjoying the fact that most of my fellow caffeine sippers have no idea what I'm writing.

After fifteen years of compiling stories and poems, I can say without doubt, that there is NO going back for me. Once writing has you in its power you are at its mercy for life. It doesn't pay well, it leads to constant disappointment, and it takes over every other thing you do - but when the publisher says "Yes," and the occasional unexpected royalty cheque arrives in the post, it suddenly all seems worthwhile, and I LOVE IT!!

So far I have written over 150 short stories, and a great many solo publications unleashed upon the world...including the novels, The Perfect Submissive trilogy - Fifth Floor, The Retreat and Knowing Her Place(KJ Books), and the novellas The New Room (KJBooks) Wednesday on Thursday (KDP), Not Her Type, (1001NightsPress), Digging Deep (Xcite, 2013), and A Sticky Situation (Xcite, 2012. The anthologies Yes Ma'am (KJBooks, 2019), A Kink a Day, Books 1-4 (KJBooks, 2018-19), Take Control (1001NightsPress), Tied to the Kitchen Sink, Equipment (All Romance, 2012), The Collector (KDP) and many more.

Kay Jaybee also writes contemporary fiction as Jenny Kane and historical fiction as Jennifer Ash.

Let the celebration begin! Amorous Woman is now available as an ebook, with a gorgeous cover (if you're interested in having this beautiful book to caress, contact my publisher about POD). This novel is my personal favorite of all my work (to date), and the most demanding and rewarding to write. If you like the free sample, dive in and take your own trip to a fascinating, exotic and erotic land. I'm also very excited to announce that a collection of six of my best short stories, "The Mammoth Book of Erotica Presents the Best of Donna George Storey: Picture Perfect" is now available on Kindle. Exhibitionism, cross-dressing, phone sex, Japanese erotic prints, there's lots to please everyone. All of the stories appeared in the Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica series.

And now, for my official bio:

I've always wanted to write fiction, but didn't have the time or the courage until my oldest son was born and I decided to leave my job teaching Japanese literature to be a full-time parent in 1997. From the start, I was drawn to erotic themes and although I resisted at first--erotica seemed too scandalous for a shy bookworm like me--I soon realized I had to write what I loved.

Fortunately, over the years the love has translated into over 150 publications in various venues, from literary magazines like Prairie Schooner and The Gettysburg Review to best-of erotica anthologies like Best American Erotica and The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica.

I'm a Princeton graduate with a Ph.D. in Japanese literature, which I mention not to impress--who really cares?--but to suggest how far I've wandered from the path of propriety. But I like to think my new aspirations are as lofty. I truly believe we need more writers willing to acknowledge that the sexual urge and the erotic imagination are as worthy of a complex literary treatment as anger, jealousy, ambition or love in its PG-rated form. That's what I try to do in my work, one story at a time.

My other interests include delicious food, hearty wine, reading about history and cultural studies, and long walks at dawn. My author photographs were taken by the wonderfully talented Laura Boyd (www.ownyoursexy.com) who can capture the inner beauty in everyone, especially if you're wearing a gorgeous custom-made corset. Thanks for stopping by.

Thea Hutcheson explores far away lands full of magic and science with one hand holding hope and the other full of wonder while she burns up pages with lust, leather, and latex, brimming over with juicy bits. She lives in an economically depressed, unscenic, nearly historic small city in Colorado. She is a factotum when she is filling the time between bouts at the computer.
