http://sadomasocast.blogspot.com/2009/03/sadomasocast-episode-1-lee-harrington_4916.html Part one of my interview with NCD for the brand *spanking* new SadoMasoCast Podcast. Our total interview length is 2 hours and 40 minutes, so he cut it in half… We ramble around between communication styles, authenticity, monkeys, reducing risks, breath play, Dr.Charlie Fererr’s Latina Kama Sutra, stories, speed negotiation, is your perfect partner across the table?, vulnerability, am I making enough of a difference?, being surrounded by glowing lights (and remembering you are one), profound moments, spiritual SM, working on evolution, being a pro presenter, standing up for deserving excellence, Del’s theory of F.E.E., event unique product offerings……

Happy Valentines Day! (Though I like to show love and affection year round myself) It’s official- I’ve moved! I’m now based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona… a sharp contrast to so many of my friends, family and loved ones who are burrowed up in the snow right now. Don’t worry, I’ll be back in colder climates shortly (see below) soon. I have been madly finishing up my anthology for Power Exchange Book Series called “Rope, Bondage & Power,” and next week it heads off to the copy editor then off to print- how exciting! Keep an eye open for it. I’ve…

Happy Winter Greetings! This week finds me in beautiful Peaks Island, Maine, where I am holed up with two dear friends, their two sweet dogs and a cute but cranky cat working on upcoming projects. I am editing an anthology for Power Exchange Book Series called “Rope, Bondage & Power,” featuring 15 amazing authors… some very well known in the world of rope bondage, and others who have a unique voice on the topic… and I have other writing projects staring at me waiting to get back to them and ship them off to editors 🙂 My big news though…

Hi Everyone! I have spent much of the month of October curled up taking care of me- thank you so much for those who physically or energetically sent their love. You didn’t know I was under the weather? Read to the bottom of the page to keep up on me on the world wide web 🙂 I’m off for the next adventure though, with 2 new (matching, I must be a grown up now) roller bags for a Midwest, Pacific and Northwest tour- wow. I’m in the midst of editing an anthology called “Rope Bondage and Power Exchange,” so keep…

http://fetlife.com/groups/1890 I’ve wanted a place for a while to discuss after the class ends the ins and outs of what touched us… to keep the conversation going. This is an opportunity to do just that! I love my Yahoo Group, but its not very well suited for following conversations in my opinion. Finally, a forum has been created for sexual explorers by sexual explorers- and I’ve decided to host my student lounge there. I’ve already started 2 threads- one for introducing ourselves, and one for Denver Bound where I just taught… but my hope is that you will say hi…

Hi Everyone! Wow, life is amazingly exciting! Trans People in Love, edited by Tracie O’Keefe and Katrina Fox just came out… containing an essay by yours truly called “Between Shows: A True Story” on page 123 🙂 I have recently had trips to Maui, Arizona, and a very brief trip to San Francisco to work on the PassionAndSoul.com Audio series.

Greetings! I am so excited by the recent adventures in my life! Toybag Guide to Ageplay is now available from Greenery Press, and I’m madly working on a new art book with Circle23 that will be coming out in the next 6 months. Add to that the exciting essays and articles I’ve been writing recently, and the events I’ve been to (BodyBound was spectacular, Beyond Leather’s rope track and my return to show directing blew me away, and the people at SinsSations Leather sure know how to host a great party), I truly am blessed. If a tad crazy busy…
