What a lovely plea. I’m honoured that just the thought of my latest story can leave eager readers squirming. I’m certain it will not disappoint.

The story in question is now finished. It is 51 pages and 18700 words long, and is currently being enjoyed by my elite team of proof-readers. I plan to do some last-minute polishing, and will then queue it for posting at midnight Saturday (UK time). That way, those in Europe and Asia will be able to enjoy it in bed on Sunday morning, and those of you across the Atlantic will get a wonderfully intense bedtime story.

I predict an upsurge in damp cotton thongs this weekend…
