    If you want your characters to seduce like an interrogator, dominate like a profiler, and manipulate like an intelligence officer—you’re on the right track. 
    Cops, Detectives, FBI agents, CIA operatives (if you ever get the rare chance to meet one), and top criminal attorneys—they’re more than just power players in sexy uniforms. They carry something deeper. It’s not just the badge, the suit, or the commanding stance—it’s knowledge. The psychological insight. The ability to read a person’s every tell, to spot desire before it’s spoken, to push just enough before pulling back. 
    And that is what makes them so damn irresistible. 
    Now, you can learn their secrets—and use them to write mentally stimulating, pulse-racing erotica. 
    Listen up, lover—I’ve done the research, and I’m bringing you the real secrets of seduction straight from the playbooks of the FBI, CIA, and top interrogators. Because whether you’re breaking down a suspect or breaking down resistance in the bedroom, the tactics are the same. 
    We’re talking: 
    Microexpressions that betray hidden desires. 
    Body language that speaks louder than words. 
    Interrogation tricks that make people spill their dirtiest secrets. 
    And, of course, we’ll be whipping out the cuffs—figuratively and literally. 
    I’m stripping down the secrets of interrogation, body language, and psychological profiling—so you can write seduction like a pro. From the way a gaze lingers to the push-pull of dominance and submission, we’re bringing real law enforcement techniques into the bedroom. 
    So sit back, relax… and let me teach you how to write tension so thick, it leaves your readers begging for release.Vivia Volupta

    Where Their Fire is Not Quenched...

    Mary Amelia St. Clair was born on the 24th August 1863 in Rock Ferry, Cheshire.  
     
    Her father was a Liverpool shipowner who, after being made bankrupt, became an alcoholic and died whilst May was still a child.  The family then moved to Ilford, just outside London and, after a solitary year of education, May was required to stay home and help look after her older brothers, four of whom were suffering from fatal congenital heart disease. 
     
    Despite this difficult start May was determined to pursue a literary career. From 1896 May wrote professionally to support herself and her mother.  By the turn of the century she was producing not only poetry volumes but short stories, novels and some non-fiction.  She was an active feminist and supporter of the Suffrage Movement, her literary talents help to shred ideas that the suffragists were driven by sexual frustration because of the shortage of men.  
     
    Her 1913 novel ‘The Combined Maze’, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by many, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time. 
     
    In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps on the Western Front in Flanders.  Although her time there was short-lived the experience was later reflected in both prose and poetry. 
     
    She published several poetry volumes as well as writing early criticism on Imagism and several poets of the movement.  Her novels were now also influenced by modernist techniques and her supernatural short stories are increasingly seen as valuable additions to the genre.  
     
    From the late 1920s, she suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and her writing career was effectively over. 
     
    May Sinclair died on the 14th November 1946.  She was 83 and buried at St John-at-Hampstead's churchyard, London.

    Bren: 
      
    I don’t trust people, and for good reason. My parents kicked me out the second I turned eighteen, and my friends from high school or college all lost touch. No matter how close we get, how much they claim they love me, they always abandon me. The only person I can rely on is me, which is why I’ve built my own business from the ground up making bookish merch and accessories. So far, I’m hitting or exceeding all my goals and that’s all I need. 
      
    Honey: 
      
    If someone asked my family to describe me, one of the first words that would come up is “reliable.” That’s me, Honey Holloway, the girl who will get it done with a smile on her face. It’s easy to grin and pretend I’m fine with my parents being unconcerned with things like taxes and invoices and the “boring” parts of running our family apiary and farm. I too would like nothing more than to hang out with the bees all day, but someone has to keep this place together and make sure my siblings have a future. 
      
    Bren: 
      
    There is one person that I talk to though, and that’s Melliferal. We met online over a year ago and clicked right away over our shared love of books and fanfiction. I’m reluctant to share too much about myself, but she seems fine with that. Most of my ire is reserved for Honey Holloway, specifically. There’s just something about her that drives me to distraction. I’ve just never met someone who looked so much like they ate sunshine and rainbows for breakfast every morning. It’s bizarre and intriguing and irritating and arousing. 
      
    Honey: 
      
    When I finally have a moment to myself, I talk to my online friend Bibliofile. She’s the only person who I feel like I can be honest with. Up to a point, though, because we don’t discuss any personal details. Even without knowing her real name, I’ve developed a raging crush on an internet stranger, and that’s on top of my IRL (hopeless) crush on Bren Hendrix. At least I know Bibliofile likes me, though. Bren so obviously doesn’t, but I’m not going to let that stop me. I’ve never seen someone who needs a friend more than Bren. She’s going to be mine, even if I have to bribe her with jars of hot honey that I made myself.
