Four short weeks ago, I celebrated seven years of documenting my desire and sexuality on Love Hate Sex Cake, revealing the crossroads at which I find myself.

Even as I am struggling against a creative seven-year itch, I have somehow found myself among the most gloriously talented company of sex bloggers, erotica writers and sensual and sinful photographers on the list of the Top 100 Sex Bloggers 2016.

Compiled for the second consecutive year by the tireless, generous and talented Molly Moore from Molly’s Daily Kiss (and her partner in life and delicious D/s crime, Signs from This D/s Life), I feel my inclusion once again at a number I can’t help but associate with Coco Chanel and heady, verdant scents – N°19 – is all the more humbling, all the more poignant at the end of a less than productive year.

I can only thank Molly, Signs and each and every one of you for taking the time to generously commune, engage, nominate, comment and share with me your thoughts. Your unwavering belief in my words and photography means the (virtual) world to me.

On the subject of words and imagery, head over to Molly’s Daily Kiss to view the entire list and revel in the achievements of those we admire and adore and delight in the discovery of the new talents, faces and voices we are all sure to love.
