The Story of SAM

So, I came up with the concept for this book in the early 2ks, and at that time, it was never going to be BDSM. It was just one of those ideas that bounced around in the fantasy storage banks of my brain. Fast forward to 2008... I'd written a few BDSM books and thought, hmm, why not add the BDSM element to my favorite fantasy.

 The story came pouring out in a fun and steamy deluge, and it was finished quickly and ready to go with the title No Ordinary Sex Toy. But then life took a turn and I let doubt mess with my head. Who would want this book? I'm not talented enough. Sam (the MC's name and what I called the book ninety-nine percent of the time) was relegated to the digital shelf in the dusty vault of my computer.

Then the world turned upside down after a certain book and movie came out and BDSM was now popular in the mainstream. In 2016, I decided to dust off my book, expand it from 70k to 85k, and submit to one of the big five. Sigh. I'd missed the wave and received a positive rejection. They liked my writing but weren't looking for BDSM anymore. No Ordinary Sex Toy went back on the shelf, and I stopped writing. Not just because of the rejection. Just more life stuff.

In early 2022, I decided to try writing again. I'd done for others. Now it was time to do for me. It felt a little strange, and I was rusty as a barn door's hinge, but surprisingly, I popped off a 29k novella. I re-released the two books I'd gotten my rights back on way back when and wrote the third book in the series. That felt pretty dang good. My writing friends encouraged me to do something with Sam, and so...

The title had to change if I didn't want my book chained in the dungeon of the bookseller's magical castle. I'd always called it Sam, and it felt so natural to rename the book using the acronym in the book--Sexually Animated Male. And so, S.A.M. Satisfaction Guaranteed was released September 27 2022.

S.A.M. Satisfaction Guaranteed

Hot of the assembly line, he's the perfect man. Too bad he isn't real...or is he?

As the CEO of one of NYC’s top ad agencies, Emma Raines devotes her time to stomping the competition in five-inch heels. She has no time for a love life, and her sex life is limited to a quarterly hook-up with a West Coast colleague. When her pent-up desire sends her to the discreet offices of Weston Inc., one glance at a picture of SAM—their newest Sexually Animated Male—and she’s dying for a taste of the more lifelike toy.

Sam Weston might be the genius behind the biomechanics of Weston, Inc., but the unexplained return of male sexbots by female customers has him scratching his head. When his cousin and co-founder cajoles him into a harebrained scheme to replace Emma’s order with himself, the nerd in Sam is convinced research outweighs deception. The Dom in him scoffs at the idea of normal sex, but after one night of substandard vanilla sex, he’s determined to take control and give the feisty exec the dominance she craves.
