A Book and a Story (Sitting in a Tree...)

Writing Journal: Started hacking on The Adjusters #28, where we start partying DIK style. That party will probably spread over two episodes, as there's a lot that happens there. On a different note, folks have been asking me whether I'm planning on a Christmas Special this year. First off, for the record, let it be known that I'm not ready for the Holiday Season to start. It's too soon. I refuse to accept that we're already well into December. Second, I'm thinking about it—the Christmas Special, that is. There's one scene that occurs circa Episode 14 or so that I have mostly written and that I have not been able to fit anywhere...

Got an email this afternoon from Beast5, whose mind-control story Subliminal I talked about almost a year ago. I suspect he won't mind me reposting the email here:

I wanted to let you know that I've just passed a milestone - publishing an
actual book through Pink Flamingo Press. The style is similar to my other
stories, but the plot is more filled out and the writing is more polished.
It is also filled, of course, with plenty of hot bondage scenes. If you
like the other work I've posted, then I think you’d love this one.

If you’re interested, you can find it on the Erotic Book Network in
paperback or as an eBook. It’s called Nextwave, and is published under
the penname Jay Beach. You can follow this link to both.

Here's the synopsis for Nextwave:

The CEO of Nextwave hires Brandon to test the security of their exciting new product, the Brainset, which allows users to communicate directly with the internet through a web of sensors installed directly on their brains. Brandon discovers that the company’s beautiful and bitchy VP of Marketing, Hannah, has secretly installed her own Brainset. Hannah is irate when Brandon decides to conduct his security tests on her rather than on the five official testers, but she quickly finds that there is nothing she can do to change his mind.

There's an excerpt at the book site. Looks interesting, and there seems to be some mind-control elements in it. I'm probably going to get it at some point, I'll let you know what I think. If you get to it before I do, feel free to review it for the rest of us in the comments.

On the shorter-story side, I re-encountered a story that I first read several years back, from Captain Nice, The Solution: “Tom comes home with a special formula to try out on his girlfriend.” While I'm not big on breast enlargement, I love it when the girl's sensitivity shoots sky-high and makes her act against her better judgment.
