Jim Lyon

I primarily write erotica with BDSM themes. Two of my erotic novellas, Uncharted Territory and The Accidental Domme, plus an anthology of short stories, Ten Shades of Submission, are currently available wherever naughty e-books in that genre are sold. When I'm not writing smut, I am reviewing it for such websites as bdsmbookreviews.com, blogcritics.org, wordwooze.tumblr.com, and femdomforum.com.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, I left high school in my senior year to live the bohemian life in New York City's Greenwich Village and Lower East Side. Not being a big fan of cold weather and crowded tenements, I returned to the West Coast within six months and lived in Berkeley for several years. While there, my claims to fame include being folksinger Malvina Reynolds' neighbor/tenant and part owner of the Northside Theater, a repertory cinema of some renown.

After leaving Berkeley, I put myself through college and earned a B.A. in Journalism from USC. My eclectic career since then has encompassed editing, writing, business management, social work, teaching, and web publishing, with stops in northern and southern California, Hawaii, Florida and Oregon.
