Day 2: Beth enters Club Submission for the first time “That’s right,” Beth replied, knowing full well that probing questions were inevitable when applying for a job in a BDSM club. She didn’t want to dwell on certain elements of her unhappy past, so she already had several preplanned answers at hand. “I had a long-term relationship with a top. We’ve been finished for a while now.” Her response seemed to satisfy Andrea, because the pretty blonde lady nodded her approval. “Well, we’re not gonna shock you here at Club Submission then, are we, honey.

That way staff turnover is kept to a minimum.”The slim blonde pushed open another set of double doors, and they entered a large, spacious room. The ceiling was double height, with subdued lighting casting shadows into the small enclaves and intimate seating areas.

So without further ado I’ll now hand over to our very own bestselling Siren erotic author, Debbie Bailey. First, I’d really like to thank Jan Bowles for inviting me to answer a few questions for the readers.  She’s one of my favorite authors and I’ve been reading her books for quite some time, so for me to be writing here is a delight.  I think I’ve read just about all her books and each one gave me such pleasure.  Thanks again Jan….you rock!!!Debbie, thank you, ((blushes profusely)). I don’t normally butt in, but I couldn’t help myself. Now to the questions…Q.  How did you come to be published by Siren?A.  I’ve been writing for myself for years, but it wasn’t until I finally allowed a friend of mine to read one of my stories. After he read it he told me that if I didn’t send it in that he would, so I screwed up my courage and sent in to Siren. I had been buying books from them for a couple of years so it seemed to…

I hope you enjoy my journey into the fourth Masters of Submission.Here’s the blurb: When thirty-four-year-old Club Submission owner Ethan Strong hires the enigmatic and beautiful young woman to work behind the bar, he’s instantly drawn to the submissive with the sad blue eyes.

In quick succession, she’d fired hard-to-answer questions at her for the last half hour.
