In 2022, the kinky prose did flow! Now onto ’23!

Another year almost done! And it was a busy one, as you can see by the covers of these new ebooks which I just published from October to December 2022…

My new novella, a tale of an older man, a younger woman, and how an article about two paintings brings their relationship to a crisis…

Where will a conversation in a midtown Manhattan bar lead a dedicated bookworm and the feisty redheaded advertising saleswoman who tempts and puzzles him in equal measure?

He was a fan of a famous showgirl for almost twenty years, from the Roaring ’20s to just after the Second World War. He finally learns, after her death, something shocking that was going on in her mind…

Besides these new stories, 2022 saw the publication, in serial form on Mistress Sidonia’s great website The English Mansion here, of the novella The Revenge of Adorable Gwen, a femdom homage to the work of classic fetish artist John “Sweet Gwendoline” Willie–who usually put his heroines into bondage, rather than men. My tale was inspired by a series of paintings by my British colleague, the fantastic artist Sardax, who turned the tables on the Willie universe and made Willie’s starring damsel-in-distress into a Dominatrix-in-Control, whom I named “Adorable Gwen.” She learns to dish out discipline in an Eastern European gynocratic country that Sardax dubbed “Masotopia,” after the author of Venus in Furs, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. And Willie’s bondagemaster is re-imagined into a secretly submissive male I called “Sir D’Evious Dalrymple.” Sardax created the gorgeously kinky pictures sometime ago and brought me aboard to write some twisted fiction to go along with the images. It all came out really well, pix and prose alike, and I certainly had a lot of fun putting myself into the head of a decadent, impoverished 1930s British aristocrat finally admitting his desires to kneel and serve women! 😉

To see and read The Revenge of Adorable Gwen, you have to join the site, and when you do you will see it is an overflowingly carnal compendium of femdom movies and information that is well worth the price. You can read about my own “tour” of the site here. The Revenge of Adorable Gwen ran from April through November 2022 and remains on The English Mansion.

On other fronts of my 2022 work in the erotica trade, in addition to my almost daily tweets here for DommeAddiction.com here and my clip descriptions for the women-in-bondage site Fetish Pros here, I wrote a good amount of fiction and non-fiction for a client who has not yet posted the material online, but when he does, I will let my readers and followers know. I did some very interesting stuff for him, including a deep look into one of the most popular sexual obsessions of our era…but more on that later, when the work is published.

Finally, in October 2022, I began a new series of stories in other fictional modes than erotica (as seen in the covers at the top of this post) and created a new “division,” if I may sound businesslike for a moment, of my Kindle store which I dubbed “The Irv O. Neil Specialty Library.” I know that sounds a mite pretentious, but it’s accurate, as the first story, Do You Remember Me, Lily? is a ghost tale taking place in a Times Square hotel in 1946; and the second two are realistic psychological fiction set in the post-pandemic world of 2022 Manhattan, The Night I Got Off Easy and When A Woman Scowls. Although these are not erotica, they do touch on my favorite subject, female sexual dominance, now and then–but as part of other story motifs. I hope you’ll check them out; they’re available, along with my “Irv O. Neil Erotic Library” on my Kindle store here. And of course in Amazon Kindle stores all over the world as well.

People online talk about blogs not being what they used to in popularity, but all I know is that this blog is read, or at least looked at, all over the planet, which gives me an endless feeling of pride and pleasure! Thank you all! The other day someone in Spain perused many pages of the blog, and I’m making a guess that that’s the person who then purchased a copy, through Amazon Spain, of my novella TAMARA, Eternal Dominatrix (with its great cover by Sardax–visit his website here). Thank you, whoever you are, and I hope you enjoy the tale!

I wish everyone a very Happy, Prosperous, and Healthful New Year and all the best for 2023.

This book takes you back to 1978 New York in all its sleazy, arousing allure. Think about that if and when you watch the ball drop in Times Square at midnight on New Year’s Eve 2023…think about the TRULY WILD spectacle it used to be…!
