Imelda Stark is the nom de plume of a woman 'of a certain age' (all right, I am somewhere in mid-life...;-) who teaches psychotherapy at a major East Coast medical school. Given that job, you can imagine why I can't publish my naughty works under my real name. I have been fascinated by the eroticization of painful attention to naked bottoms since earliest memory, and for the past four years have decided to explore the psychology of BDSM in twenty-three fictional novellas and novels. My books are intended not only to turn you on and get you off (if you are inclined in the same direction as I am), but also to explore the deeper psychological origins (often in childhood) of our shared interest in painful pleasures. I have been a discreet player in two local scenes, where I play as a dominant or submissive depending on my mood and the hotness of available partners. You can rest assured that if I haven't experienced any activity I write about (either as a deliverer or a recipient), I would like to. I welcome and will gladly respond to emails at imeldastark1@gmail.com. Specifically, I would love feedback about who you are and what does and doesn't work for you in my erotica, so I can sculpt future works (which my fertile mind seems to spin off infinitely, so far) to suit my audience.
