I passed over the money.
I was ordered to strip naked.
I was tied up.
I had to bend over a kneeler like those you’d see in a medieval church.
First the flogger.
Then the strap.
Then the tawse – it’s like a wide belt, solid leather. Burns like hell.
Then the cane. Oh, the cane…every time I got hit I had to count and say thank you.
And once the agony of the beating ended, I was tied to a chair with my thighs tied wide, and forced to have an orgasm.
Humiliating. Excruciating. Brutal. I had bruises for two weeks after.
Who was the bastard sadist who did all this to me?
A monster?
A rapist?
A violent thug?
No. It was a five-foot three lithe little beauty of a brunette named Mistress Jeanette.
I’d just gotten my ass kicked by a Dominatrix.
My name is Tiffany Reisz, and I’m a kinkster. Switch by nature. Submissive by training. I love it. I live it. I write about it.
Once upon a time I decided to write a book that would include a scene where a beautiful man ended up blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back. When I looked at this tied up man in my mind (often, very often), I knew it was a women who’d tied him up. But what sort of woman would do that?
Who else? A Dominatrix.
So my book became a story about a stuffy British man, a bit of a bluestocking boy even if he was sexy as sin, forced into a working relationship with a feisty, frisky, fearless Dominatrix. I gave her my personality since I wasn’t using it at the time. And thus Mistress Nora Sutherlin, erotica writer by day, Dominatrix by night, was born.
Of course I had to do research, didn’t I? Last year in NYC I made an appointment with a Dominatrix for a 30-minute session. What happened is detailed at the top—flogging, caning, bruising, orgasm by force.
Here’s the fun thing about Dominatrixes. They’re real and they’re just like you imagine they would be. Beautiful, larger-than-life, sadistic, powerful, and not afraid to pull any punches. You give them your money for the pleasure of putting your life in their hands. And if you’re me, you don’t begrudge a penny of it after. In a world that expects men to be Alphas and women to kneel, these ladies stand on the backs of the boys of the world and tells them to stay there, shut up, and do what they’re told.
Today’s my 34th birthday so that means I’m in charge.
So shut up. Buy THE SIREN. Read it. Love it.
Or else…
Tiffany Reisz lives in Lexington, Kentucky with her boyfriend (a reformed book reviewer) and two cats (one good, one evil). She graduated with a B.A. in English from Centre College in Danville, Kentucky and is making both her parents and her professors proud by writing BDSM erotica under her real name. She has five piercings, one tattoo, and has been arrested twice.
When not under arrest, Tiffany enjoys Latin Dance, Latin Men, and Latin Verbs. She dropped out of a conservative southern seminary in order to pursue her dream of becoming a smut peddler. Johnny Depp’s aunt was her fourth grade teacher. Her first full-length novel THE SIREN was inspired by a desire to tie up actor Jason Isaacs (on paper). She hopes someday life will imitate art (in bed).
If she couldn’t write, she would die.
“Tiffany Reisz is a smart, artful, and masterful new voice in erotic fiction! An erotica star on the rise!”
Award-winning author Lacey Alexander
“Tiffany Reisz’s The Original Sinners series is painful, prideful, brilliant, beautiful, hopeful, and heart-breaking. And that’s just the first hundred pages.”
Courtney Milan, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Duchess War
“A beautiful, lyrical story… The Siren is about love lost and found, the choices that make us who we are…and above all, finding our way home. I can only hope that Ms. Reisz pens a sequel!”
Bestselling author Jo Davis
“Dazzling, devastating and sinfully erotic, Reisz writes unforgettable characters you’ll either want to know or want to be. The Siren is an alluring book-within-a-book, a story that will leave you breathless and bruised, aching for another chapter with Nora Sutherlin and her men.”
Miranda Baker, author of Bottoms Up and Soloplay
The Original Sinners series certainly lives up to its name: it’s mindbendingly original and crammed with more sin than you can shake a hot poker at. I haven’t read a book this dangerous and subversive since Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club. The most shocking thing, however, is how much you’ll feel for the characters. If your heart doesn’t break at least ten times over the course of The Siren, check yourself into a morgue.”
Andrew Shaffer, author, Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love
Holy cow! Just the first couple of lines kind of make me want to go make an appointment with a dom. I count it as one of those experiences people should have before they die.
And now I really, really, really, super really want to read the book too. Miss Reisz definitely has a way with words.
You haven’t lived until you’ve gotten the shit kicked out of you by a goddess of a Dominatrix.
Tiffany!
Read it. Loved it. Thank you.
I am dying to read this book after reading Seven Day Loan and the companion Daniel piece i am looking forward to sinking my teeth into Siren
I did buy THE SIREN. Twice. I did read it. Twice. I do love it. All day, every day.
I bow to you, Mistress Tiffany. Your research definitely paid off. In many ways, if I understand correctly.
Happy birthday again!
Mistress Jeanette!!!
I want to read Seven Day Loan too now. Loved The Siren!
If Nora has your personality, then I simultaneously have a crush on you, am afraid of you and want to be your BFF. Seriously, though, I am half way through The Siren and it is easily one of the best pieces of erotic fiction I’ve ever read (and I read a lot of it). The dialogue is sharp and funny. The characters have depth and get the reader invested in the story. Brava!
Thank you, my dear, for showing us in a true light. I loved everything you wrote about professional Dommes and hearing of your experiences. Thank you for your writing and for sharing your fabulous personality.

I’ve read and loved a number of things by Tiffany Reisz and am convinced she writes the best endings of any author writing today.
Oh, Tiffany, how I love you so. The Siren is amazing and I’d love to win a signed copy.
I want to read this book so bad! I think I’m gonna buy it on my kindle so I can have naughty epicness in BOTH forms!

“Go shawty, it’s your birthday.
We gonna party like it’s your birthday.
We gon sip Bacardi like it’s your birthday.
And you know we don’t give a fuck cuz it’s your birthday.”
Happy 34th Birthday, Tiffany!
Will you be kicking some ass tonight?
I doubt I’d ever be able to do such a thing. But I have no problem with anyone who can/does. As long as it’s consensual, of course, have fun with it! Lol. And it sounds like you did—research, who says it has to be boring?
I have yet to read your books (yet) Tiffany, but I’m dying to do so. Just seeing some of your tweets and blog posts have me laughing so hard and willing to kill to get the book.
Oh, and totally random, but I think we must have separated, but matching, twin cats. One evil one here, one that is as sweet as can be….Well, when she’s not peeing on my floors and shoes! *grumbles*
Enjoy!
TBQ
Oh this looks absolutely great!
Thanks for your honesty, Tiffany. Right now I’m reading The Siren as part of a group on GoodReads. I’ve followed the links you gave that explains your RL experiences with BDSM and it’s very enlightening, among other things.
I’m happy to say I’m totally enthralled with the book. I was in a bit of a reading rut and your book has pulled me out of it!
