Imelda is a semi-retired Psychiatry professor who is using her extra time and energy to explore the spicy erotic realm of BDSM both personally and in her fiction writings. She has a lifelong fascination with the painful pleasures of the boudoir, and has published over 40 novels in that realm. Her particular interest is in the psychological underpinnings of why certain of us are drawn to that most piquant of sexual condiments, and her novels and short stories reflect that intrigue with the 'why' while still dwelling lovingly on the detailed 'how' of BDSM eroticism.
