Welcome to NageRotica, the Master Nage newsletter. As this is the first issue, many of you will probably need an introduction, for the works of Master Nage are in a class by themselves. Actually, since only one is currently available, you can say in a class by itself, but that’s soon to change with the introduction of Slave Heart.

There are those who refer to Scorch, my first erotica book, as a BDSM novel, but it’s really not. In fact, it’s so hard to categorize, most reviewers have given up. Is it science fiction? Most definitely. Is it erotica? Absolutely. Is it BDSM? In some ways. Is there a love story involved? Very much so, though not your typical love story. Yet there is one element that separates NageRotica from many erotic books. From the first page to the last, you’ll never be able to guess what happens next and, according to many reviewers, that’s precisely what makes Scorch so much fun to read. Just when you’re sure you know precisely what’s going to happen, Scorch will stun you with a plot twist and before you know it, you’re in uncharted territory again.

Still, there are a lot of people waiting to see if Scorch is for them. Why? Because it IS different than anything they’ve read before.

Don’t expect your standard romance. I write what I call backhanded romance--a romance with all that entails, yet there is also something more. A twist of reality that will leave you reeling. Weeks after you’ve finished reading, you’ll still be thinking about the characters. NageRotica is something you simply have to experience for yourself.

JERR gave Scorch five sizzling stars. Fallen Angel Reviews gave Scorch a five angel review and the review from Road to Romance, while they don’t give stars or angels, left no doubt in people’s minds that Tracey West was more than just impressed. In fact, Scorch has been listed on the Road to Romance’s recommended reading list, no small accomplishment I can assure you. ENE reviews also made Scorch a book of the month and gave it a dazzling review. If you want to see what the critics are saying, just nip on over to the Reviews webpage and check it out.

Yes it’s true, I won an author of the year award from Fallen Angel Reviews for Scorch. And it’s true I was named author of the month for January, 2004. Not only did Fallen Angel Reviews decide to interview me, but so did Road to Romance. Why? Because Scorch isn’t just a bunch of sex scenes strung together. Scorch is HOT with PLOT! Perhaps that’s the best way to describe NageRotica.

If you haven’t picked up Scorch yet, you don’t know what you’re missing. And if you’re worried about it having too dark an ending for you, let me leave you with the words of Tracey West, directly quoted from her Road to Romance review.

“I hope that readers will give Scorch a try, there are many layers to this story and it is an incredible journey form start to finish. Action and adventure, sci-fi, intrigue and explosively hot sex scenes come together splendidly. I never quite knew what to expect with Scorch and Lady Jacqueline nor was I prepared for an ending that left me speechless. I was blown away by the ending, and I applaud the author’s ability to do an ‘about face’ and leave this reader grinning from ear to ear.”

So what are you waiting for. Hop on down to eXtasy Ebooks and pick up a copy of Scorch. Don’t think of it as a BDSM book, because it’s not. Think of it as a great science fiction novel, a backhanded-romance, and one of the hottest books of the year, at least according to the reviewers. They can’t ALL be wrong.

And keep an eye out for Slave Heart, coming your way sooner, rather than later.
