FEBRUARY (B) IS HERE

TO CONTACT ME: JC-GREEN@TELUS.NET

********************************

Although I do this for fun, I'd like to request your assistance with the costs of keeping the site on-line. Bandwidth use is well over 600 GIGabytes a month and it ain't cheap here in The Great White North. Anything you can spare will help to keep the site humming along.

SERVICE NOTE: Please accept my apologies for the lack of updates during the period of 10th, May to 10th July, 2009. As you must be aware by now, my computers, then this site, got a very bad virus infection and so I didn't do any uploading until everything was clean and safe.

Doing so has cost me well in excess of $1,600.00 USD by the time all was said and done. This kind of expenditure on what is basically a hobby site, and free to all visitors, CANNOT be sustained by me alone. I ask you, please, to consider what you're getting for nothing and help me to cover these costs by contacting me at: JC-Green@Telus.Net or sending a cheque or postal money order to: JC GREEN, PO Box 2013, Point Roberts, WA, USA 98281-2013. I hope to be able to offer easier options again soon, as well as an explanation as to why this Donation Request has had to be changed.

Thanks all for your patience, and in advance, for your assistance to cover the costs incurred.

********************************

- FURTHER UPDATES WILL COME, BUT NO SCHEDULE SPECIFIED -

I will generally do an update at the 10th of the month, the 20th and at the end of the month, with rotating pages from different sections of the site. Please read the introduction for each update and you'll find that I normally remember to hot-link to the appropriate new page.

Previous pages for this section will be placed in the archives for future reference and it's structure will normally be a month by month basis for each year (12 pages), sub-divided into three sections (A, B & C).

Please Note: There is no "INDEX" page per se. Use the month and year pages at he the bottom of the page to review previous updates to this Section and the Rogue's Gallery.

Things are going well :-)! My video is at last on-line and can be accessed HERE, for both the hi-res promo clip and the full 33 minute version. In a related piece to the video, I've loaded all of the pertinent stills of the video shoot (they've been showing up in dribs and drabs over the last six months), together with my usual purple prose, into the JG-L Articles Section of the site. The article is HERE.

**********************************

I've made mention of ANNEKE JACOB before ... an incredibly talented authoress whose second book, AS SHE'S TOLD, has just been published by PINK FLAMINGO PUBLICATIONS, my own publisher. Having read the book with great delight, I want to share with you the review that I've written ...

I’ve seldom had the pleasure of reading such a wonderfully intense book as the one Anneke Jacob has just released. Her story, AS SHE’S TOLD, in my view easily surpasses the work of Pauline Reage (The Story of O) and it is my belief and hope that this story will become an erotic classic in every sense of the word.

AS SHE’S TOLD is the best kind of love story ... a tale of two people from widely disparate backgrounds, who find in each other, the perfect match to their deepest fantasies and needs, then move slowly and carefully to make their mutual dreams come true. That these are so widely at variance with what society normally considers ‘love’ matters not to them, for they are deeply-committed to bringing their fantasies to life and it IS a love story in the truest sense, despite some of the darker passions that are slowly unleashed.

Maia and Anders initially meet in an internet chat room and at a safe electronic distance describe what they seek, but each with an eye to the fact that the other may not be what they profess. Soon though, they come to meet in person and that is when the story begins in earnest. Over the course of the following weeks and months Maia slowly and willingly becomes immersed in the life she has always wanted ... that of being a fully-controlled slave, possession, and eventually, an animal, doing only as she has been commanded. Maia moves into Anders house and not only does she become his possession physically, but mentally as well, while his control of her physical person and her mind and awareness is constantly increased. This situation though, is not a ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ occurrence, but one of deep commitment to each other.

Maia very quickly begins her journey, soon finding herself controlled by increasingly stringent bondage garments (hidden while she's in public) and other factors add even more to her feelings of being owned. She is slowly and inexorably brought ever closer to what she has dreamt of for so long. She is, of course, punished for her transgressions, but willingly accepts his discipline, despite the screams and begging it engenders. Maia is at first horrified and mortified, but the progress is relentless and soon she begins to, if not enjoy her role, then to accept and embrace it as Anders’ fully-controlled and deeply-treasured possession.

As the months of their lives progress, Maia sinks deeper and deeper into her desired status of being a possession, but this is precisely what she wants and has needed to complete herself, since she first dreamt of this life as a young girl.

The story is told from two points of view: Maia’s and Anders’, and as such is a fascinating look into both personalities, clearly showing why they are who and what they are, and react as they do to the life they are creating for themselves. Ms Jacob’s other characters and the locale’s they function in are as finely and exactingly drawn, and so the story is fleshed out in the most believable way.

Ms Jacob has obviously spent a great deal of time and effort to polish her descriptions of her characters: their dress, appearance, emotions, sensations and how they react to each other and the world around them. All of her characters are beautifully and crisply drawn and Maia and Anders are most certainly not cardboard cut-outs, but living, breathing people that you and I could meet on the street or at work and really like. The locales and equipment are beautifully described and a reader can quite literally see the places and feel all of her equipment being fitted. Her plot line is of intricate interest and flows smoothly to a logical and lovely conclusion and I sincerely hope there is a sequel to this wonderful story.

As She’s Told is such a good story that other readers have thought that it is actually a memoire, rather than fiction. I cannot but envy this tour de force display of Ms. Jacob’s skill with words, for she has crafted her story to the precision of a Swiss time piece. All in all, this story is a classic piece of erotic fiction ... not just jerk-off porn.

I recommend it MOST highly to anyone who wishes to read a story of love, lust and kink. You’ll not be disappointed with this gem of a book.

As you have recognized from perusing the Rogue's Gallery, I've shown the work of a photographer by the name of KEITAL, and with this upload have included a mini-spread of some of his photography. His work is superb as can be seen, in ALL areas, and I would love to hear from him and do more promotion on his behalf. Here's the pix ...

Of course the ROGUE'S GALLERY has been updated wi tn the usual selection of eye candy of various sorts and here with a few teasers to hustle you on over there :-).
