Hi folks! I’m a newbie here at eXcessica so I thought I’d introduce myself today and give you an idea what to expect from me.

I’m a British author of erotic fiction and I’ve been writing for around (gulp!) 15 years. At first I wrote sensual fantasy and my work was published in small press here in the UK. In 1996 I saw a British erotica editor on TV. She talked about erotic fiction specifically for women, groundbreaking stuff at the time. I loved her attitude and it got me thinking… I love sex, I read erotica, and I write with a sensual edge — maybe I could try my hand at writing erotica? That’s how it started and I’ve been producing erotic fiction ever since then, and savoring every delicious moment of it…

So, what sort of erotica can you expect from me? Over at my blogspot I call myself “The Naughty Lady from Shady Lane.” It’s the naughty edge that sums me up. You won’t find anything too dark in my work, but you will find me delving eagerly into just about any aspect of sexuality with sheer and utter glee. Since around 2003 I’ve also been writing novellas and full length novels, although I continue to return to my first love, the short erotic story. My upcoming eXcessica publication is a collection of my short erotica from across the time I’ve been writing. There’s a bit of everything in UNLEASHED. That’s because I believe that variety is the spice of life and I love to explore turn-ons and fetishes. If you haven’t read my work before you can find lots of excerpts and some free reads over at my website: http://www.saskiawalker.co.uk/

Next time I blog I’ll chat about some of the things that inspire me. For now I’ll leave you with this happy piece of media news about spanking – because this is the sort of thing that makes The Naughty Lady smile, big time….

It may sound a bit kinky but everything from depression to alcoholism can be cured with a beating on the bare bottom, scientists claim.

Spanking is more effective than exercise at keeping the blues at bay, say Russian researchers who carried out tests on caning. They recommend that people receive 30 weekly sessions of 60 of the best. High levels of pain make the body produce endorphins or ‘happy chemicals’ and this leads to feelings of euphoria. Endorphins also boost the immune system, release sex hormones and reduce appetite.

Dr Sergei Speransky, who now charges patients £57 for treatment at Novosibirsk Institute of Medicine, said: ‘The treatment works. I’m not sadistic, at least not in the classical sense, but I do advocate caning.’
