A Visit With Red Phoenix: The Fan Questions

Red Phoenix Fans Ask The Burning Questions You Want to Know...

Fans of Red Phoenix were given free reign to ask questions. 

Interested in the results of their curiosity? Read on…

Rachel Ragens Donald: What has been your favorite scene ever from the Brie series?

~ Red: As much as you are not going to like my answer, my favorite scene is in Brie#9, Brie Bows to Her Master (coming soon). Heart melting, loin tingling yumminess.

Marla Thalassinou: Where or when do you get inspired for your stories, and a specific example would be very much appreciated.

~ Red: My inspiration comes from personal experiences, circumstances, and wild ass hairs. A specific example would be Blissfully Snowbound. The story was inspired by a timely snowstorm and a longtime musing of what would happen if you were stuck in a cabin with a man who had a severe crush on you.

Lale Gul: Is any of the Brie series based on your own experiences, if so can you give some examples?

~ Red: My husband has asked me to keep our sexual life private. Although I am allowed to bring my experiences into my fictional writing, specifics of my life shall remain classified. ;)

FYI - I experience as much as I can, but if I haven’t done it myself I find out why women like it and what it feels like.

Marilyn Ferguson: Why did you choose the bdsm lifestyle to write about, is it because it is sooooo forbidden?

~ Red: I write a variety of different erotica genre from BDSM, paranormal, to contemporary romance. Brie happens to be my most popular series and certainly is a topic I enjoy writing about. (I am a natural submissive who didn’t realize the joy it could bring until later in life.)

Diane Barr: What fascinates me, how did you choose the BDSM lifestyle?

~ Red: It was a slow journey. An awakening into my true desires.

Tracy Baker: Are you a Mistress or sub in r/l or a switch??

~ Red: A submissive all the way. Nothing makes this little chick happier than to let go of inhibitions and please my lover.

Brandi Rohr-Sandlin: Does the person that Tono is based off know you have so many fans dreaming of him?

~ Red: I am in contact with him. Unless I have his permission, his identity will remain secret.

Karen Hight Keresztes: Are you going to write a new series? How long are you going to continue the Brie series?

~ Red: I do have an exciting new series coming that centers on one delectable Dom – Just wait, you are going to love it! I will also be continuing Brie’s journey next year (2013) as she learns how to love and serve her new Master.

Brie #8

The 5th week of submissive training proves challenging as Brie surrenders her will. She enjoys the thrill of objectification and the excitement of completing erotic tasks. With the end of the course around the corner, the trainers encourage Brie to dig deep. Marquis presents her with a scene she ended in the past, Tono displays the art of suspension, and Faelan releases Brie’s inner animal.

This bewitching novelette will wet your appetite for objectification, tease you with a little rope action, and have you panting for melted chocolate.

Extended Description:

The girls are quickly coming to the end of their submissive course, which means their trainers are becoming increasingly demanding. The pressure begins to tear at their friendship, but Brie is a determined little sub. She bravely faces Marquis’ challenging scene, revels in the joy of suspension with Tono, receives vindication from Master Coen, and learns a thing or two about respect from Ms. Clark. Brie’s attempt to bring her friends back together ends up getting them all in trouble, but the punishment draws Brie closer to the Dom who decreed it.

Stay tuned for the review and a fun vote on your favorite Dom.

Red Phoenix on BDSM Erotica

The Allure of the BDSM lifestyle

Why are so many women becoming interested in the BDSM culture? What is it that calls to their spirit?

I believe part of the attraction lies in the fact that a BDSM relationship requires a level of trust you don’t normally find. To give over your power over to someone else speaks to a depth of trust many of us have not experienced but naturally long for.

Even more enticing is the total acceptance of one’s sexual needs. In a culture of norms, it is easy to feel ashamed of desires considered outside the mainstream. However, within a healthy Dominant/submissive relationship everything is fair game and is open for exploration as long as both parties consent. There are no judgments. In fact, sexual experimentation is encouraged.

The D/s Roles

It is important to understand that the role of the Dominant is almost teacher-like. His/her job is to guide the submissive and it requires thought and a lot of work. A common misconception is that a submissive is a weak individual. Actually, in a healthy D/s relationship the submissive is strong in his/her own right, but has a burning desire to serve and grow under the care and tutelage of a master. When two such people get together, it is a beautiful dance. The dedicated teacher takes his/her student on a journey of self-discovery in which both learn, connect and grow.

The BDSM Call

BDSM is the consensual exchange of power by two trusting adults hungry to explore the limitless possibilities of sexual pleasure.  When there is care and respect on both sides, the ideal can become a reality.

I believe women everywhere are coming to realize that their secret desires may not be so uncommon after all. As a result, they are heeding the call to explore their sexuality in their own bedrooms.  I for one celebrate this move in the right direction.

*In my erotica series about Brie Bennett and the Submissive Training Center, readers experience Brie’s training and learn as she learns. The skilled Doms push her in areas she would be afraid to tread as she explores her hidden desires/fears in a safe and encouraging environment.  

Book #6 of the Brie Series

Brie is thrilled when the Submissive Training Center focuses a whole week on bondage lessons. Little does the inexperienced sub know what's in store. Brie explores areas she has been reluctant to tread and finally discovers what has been holding her back. The call of the rope opens Brie up to new avenues of pleasure.

This wickedly arousing novelette encompasses an entire week of Brie's submissive training, including her third Auction Day with a talented Kinbaku artist.

Brie longs to delve into the world of bondage and finally gets her chance at the center. She personally encounters the "mighty" male model, her trainer Master Coen, and later surrenders to another lesson with Marquis Gray. In answering the call of the rope, Brie encounters new experiences that leave her panting for more. But there is a hefty price to be paid when her heart becomes torn between two masters.

What I Liked:

This book was a great addition to the Brie series. I loved the rope play and how Brie embraced the intricate world of bondage. It was a delight that I savored. Her surrender to her Doms in this book was beautiful and I had a hard time waiting for the next one.

What I Didn't:

It ended. *cried*

Overall:

The rope work and Brie's journey into bondage was epic. I am fascinated by decorative rope play and after reading this book, I hunger for more. Red has done it again. I am her devoted fan. Kinbaku and Shibari are very interesting and so very elegant. Brie also has a daunting choice-to choose between two masters. Oh the suspense! I love it!

5/5

 Book #7 of the Brie Series

Brie's fourth week of submissive training introduces her to public display. From encounters in the vanilla world, to a field trip to a BDSM club she is entranced by the D/s lifestyle. Brie continues to be tested and stretched by her vigilant trainers, exposing more of her hidden desires. Shockingly, a new trainer has entered the scene and a third Dom makes his move - one she did not see coming.

This delicious novelette will become your new guilty pleasure, filled with erotic situations and moments that will make you go aww...

Extended Description:

Join Brie as she experiences different forms of public display, a stage scene with two Doms, and her fourth Auction Day filled with mystery and intrigue. Brie does not know their new trainer has a special skill and is surprised when she personally experiences it at The Haven. She also comes to appreciate the allure of a simple feather. Week four will be a roller coaster of sexual delight for Brie and all who follow her escapades.

What I Liked:

This addition to the Brie series finds her in a public setting trying to learn how to respond to being in public as a sub. Wow. What a scene! I loved the addition of the new Dom and the Dom trainee. Very nice twist! This book will leave you reeling and panting for #8.

What I Didn't:

It ended. 

Overall:

Loved it. MORE!!!! (Should I elaborate...) I love Brie for her adventurous spirit and her willingness to stand for what is right, even in the face of danger. Red Phoenix has crafted a series that has become one of my absolute favorites. If you enjoy BDSM novellas, then you simply must check out this amazing series. 

5/5
