Dear Readers,
Greetings from sunny San Francisco! I’m frantically packing
to go to ShibariCon and IML but I wanted to get an eNewsletter or
two out before it became too long in coming. In this issue I’ll
put out all the upcoming events and new stuff.
In a couple of days I’ll write up my recent adventure report.
It’s steamy hot and deserves it’s own installment!
1. NEW BOOK RELEASE! “WILD SIDE SEX: THE
BOOK OF KINK”
It’s finally here! My long awaited essay book. Over
the past 10 years I’ve written many columns on kink and adventurous
sexuality. Daedalus Publishing launches my first collection sampling
from these essays. I cover many topics in there from serious to
comic. You’ll find lots of thought provoking essays on adventurous
sex and kink not found in the basic introductory books. Are you
a fetishist? Enjoy a whole section addressing fetishes. There’s
even a very smutty how-to chapter.
Steve Diet Goedde shot the photos on the cover and in the book.
You should see the cover shot! I just love it. I’m wearing
glasses, boots and a typewriter. Yes, a typewriter. Here’s
the link to see the photo.
I hope that you’ll pick the book up from your local independent
booksellers and kink shops. I like to support their work. If you
get it from one of the major on-line bookshops please write your
review too! And the publisher is planning several book signings
to correspond to my travels around the country. Stay tuned!

(Here’s the official publisher blurb on the book)
Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink
By Midori
Tired of standing on the sexual sidelines?
Wonder what it's like to be a real "kink" adventurer?
Let the world famous Midori take you by the hand (or by the collar
if that's your pleasure) and lead you into the thick of it. This
new collection of smoldering wisdom and frank essays explores the
Wilder Side of Sex.
This delightfully twisted new volume entertains and titillates as
well as educates. Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink takes erotic adventure
to a personal level and exposes some of Midori's most helpful and
empowering secrets.
Explore if you will, these burning subjects:
• Is Your Prospect a Proper Pervert?
• Fetishism: Sex, Romance, and Ritual
• The Heart of Erotic Humiliation
• Public Sex
• Lust to Bind
• Mirror, Mirror... Finding the Power Femme
“Midori is a cobra-like combination of fascinating beauty
and deadly threat. In thinking, speaking and action--not to mention
writing--she strikes out in unanticipated ways and never misses
her mark. Cowards and fools may find her frightening or cold. Everyone
else has to love her.”
- Joseph W. Bean, author of Leathersex
"Midori's writings are a delight. Few people can deliver erotic
information and insight in such a gentle, yet powerful manner. Anyone
with an interest in BDSM will benefit from this book."
- Race Bannon, author of Learning the Ropes

5. HEAR ME ON LINE. POD CAST INTERVIEW
What a fun interview that was! Honestly it could have gone
on for hours. Graydancer is a lot of fun to chat with. We talked
about rope bondage, of course! And lots of other stuff. In this
2-part interview we chatted about my new book, my creative process,
qualities necessary for good scenes, good doms, and the state of
the Rope Community worldwide.
You can listen on line or download it to your Pod. Don’t miss
the show notes (with pictures!)

6. NEW! WOMEN’S ROPE BONDAGE LIST
I just created a list for women who love rope bondage. I
wanted to do a dinner or something for rope rigger women, but since
so many of us are so far away... And then I decided why not make
a list for women who love rope, whether they're tops, bottoms, hedonists,
etc. All orientations and experience welcome.
groups.yahoo.com/group/Rope_Women_Lounge/
Please pass this on to interested women.

outfit, please visit my AIDS Lifecycle fundraiser page! Help end
