THE REHABILITATION OF MASTER DILLON by P Nelson Interview

Title: THE REHABILITATION OF MASTER DILLON
Author: P Nelson
Publisher: Independent
Pages: 102
Genre: Erotic Romance/BDSM

The Rehabilitation of Master Dillon is another prequel novella to my debut novel Take My Hand. It would probably be beneficial to read Take My Hand first, but honestly, I think you can enjoy it as a stand alone.

Master Dillon is the resident porn star of the cage and at one time was the most famous Dom in the industry. Unfortunately, accusations of abuse by his former full time submissive and fellow adult performer threaten to ruin his career. More than this, Dillon is deeply affected by the idea he might have been abusing his former sub during their Dom/sub relationship and goes through a crisis of conscious.

Luckily for Master Dillon, his friends at The Cage, the most exclusive BDSM club in Vancouver, are more than willing to get Dillon back into his leather pants and spanking subs asses. The newly hired shrink of The Cage, Calla Jones guides Master Dillon through the steps he needs to get his confidence as a dominant partner back.

He is well on his way to recovery when his former submissive and accuser comes back into his life and threatens to take everything from Dillon once and for all.

“Donnie, what do you think would have happened if you’d made contact with an actual person?” Dillon stood staring at one of the men he was supposed to be training to use a three-foot whip.

            “I don’t know,” Donnie said sheepishly as he looked between the mannequin he was practicing on and Dillon. Shaking his head and trying to gain control of his temper, Dillon stalked forward and put one arm around the shoulders of the training mannequin.

            “Let me explain it to you because you obviously didn’t read the material I sent home with you last week.” Dillon’s throat was tight as he did his best not to yell at his student. “You would have fu**ing opened up her skin.” He enunciated each word for impact. Donnie flinched. “Your poor sub would have needed stitches to sew her flesh back together. Is that what you want to do to some poor sub who has placed her trust in you?”

            “No, Master Dillon,” the other man replied immediately. He appeared to be remorseful, but Dillon was not in the mood to ease the other man’s fears.

            “Are you sure? Because we’ve been meeting for the past four weeks, and every time it comes to a demonstration, you’re sloppy and ill-prepared.” Dillon stepped away from the mannequin and pointed a finger at Donnie. “I wouldn’t let you near my worst enemy’s sister. As it is, I think the mannequin has taken enough of your abuse. If you don’t start taking this seriously, don’t bother coming back next week.”

            “You’re going to kick me out of the class?” Donnie looked shocked. “Come on, Master Dillon, you can’t kick me out. My girlfriend really wants this.”

            Dillon’s jaw clenched tight for a second before he barked out, “What did we discuss here on the first day, Paul?”

            “We had to discuss the reasons why we were here and whether or not they were the right reasons,” Paul, one of Dillon’s best students automatically replied. Donnie’s shoulders slumped, and Dillon sighed. It wasn’t this guy’s fault. The recent popularity of alternative lifestyles, not to mention a hugely successful book series, had made kink cool. Unfortunately, not everyone who wanted to be a Dom could actually get there. The door to the room where he was holding his evening BDSM training class opened, and a familiar woman stepped inside. He ignored the newcomer and focused on Donnie.

            “Donnie, everyone has been where you are right now.” He tried to make his voice seem sympathetic and soothing. “But the fact of the matter is that if you don’t take this training seriously, there’s no way in hell I’m going to sign you off to play with a real, living, breathing person. You’re going to have to make a decision as to whether BDSM is for you regardless of your girlfriend’s feelings.”

Interview:

Where are you from?
I’m originally from Vancouver, Canada, but I have lived in many parts of the world.

Tell us your latest news?
I’m happy to announce the release of my latest novella The Rehabilitation of Master Dillon and the further release of The Heart of the Matter in mid November.

When and why did you begin writing?
I began writing as a way to deal with my anxiety and boredom after moving to a country where I didn’t speak the language. I lived in a small town where nobody was interested in making an effort to speak my broken attempts at their language. Writing helped me cope until I was able to communicate better.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I’m not sure if I do yet. I think it’s hard for me to reconcile myself as an author even though I will have published four manuscripts this year and plan to publish five next year…Maybe if someone else called me an author it would make it more true in my eyes!

What inspired you to write your first book?
My first book was a really dreadful historical romance novel that my husband still has nightmares about. I love history, especially 15th–18th century in Britain and Europe, so I gave it a go.
I’d like to try historical romance again yet I think its fair to say that I’m much better with my contemporary efforts.

Do you have a specific writing style?
That’s a tough question. I think my voice is always evolving as I am trying to improve with each book I write. I find the quality of my words improves from quality character development in the preparation stages.

How did you come up with the title?
The book is about Master Dillon and it’s his rehabilitation. Although now I wish I had chosen something a bit shorter as its time consuming to type the whole thing in everywhere. I might just start calling it Master Dillon and make my life easier.

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
This book explores the Dom/sub relationship purely from the Dom perspective. As an author of a BDSM series, I thought it was really important to look at the Doms perspective, as we seem to get majority of books focusing on the subs perspective. Maybe there is a little message; porn stars are people too.

How much of the book is realistic?
Through my extensive research, I have tried to make the BDSM scenes as realistic as possible while keeping them hot.

Are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
No.

What books have most influenced your life most?
I love Lexi Blake’s Masters and Mercenaries series as well as Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter Series.

If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Honestly can’t. There are way too many.

What book are you reading now?
I’m reading the second book in the Elder Races series entitled Storm’s Heart by Thea Harrison. Love me some sci-fi contemporary romance.

Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
At the moment I’m so busy trying to get through my TBR pile and keep up with my words that I haven’t taken on any new authors. It feels like all my favorites release something new in the autumn and I have to scramble to keep up

What are your current projects?
I’m working on a stand-alone erotic thriller murder mystery manuscript that will be finished in a few weeks I hope. Afterwards, I will be starting a new novella for The Cage series, which should make an appearance by the beginning of February.

Name one entity that you feel supported you outside of family members?
None.
What would you like my readers to know?
I hope they enjoy Master Dillon’s rehabilitation and are ready for his HEA next year.
I love enthusiastic reviews. They keep me working hard while helping me to gage the readers response.
