  This is a historical erotica novel, by Emmanuelle De Maupassant set in London in 1898.  The book is based around Mademoiselle Noire and Lord MacCaulay. Its all about people exploring their sexuality in the 1890s. 


  Lord MacCaulay is a rich and handsome, who is the nephew of Duke of Mornemouth. MacCaulay enjoys the fact that he hasn't got responsibilities and gets a good income. 
  Mademoiselle Noire name is Maud, she's the niece of Great Aunt Isabella. Mud herself is an avid reader and her first purchased book was a copy of Bram Stokers 'DRACULA'. Whilst she's reading her imagination takes her into all of the different worlds and realms she's reading about.

About the book
  On passing through a certain curtain and a certain door, pleasure, pain, humiliation and titillation could be enjoyed in the company of ladies who returned the virile salute of desire with the same enthusiasm in which it was given. They wielded power over men, whether in domination or submission, and embraced the exquisite surrender of being watched by many eyes.
Lord MacCaulay becomes obsessed with the mysterious Mademoiselle Noire, despite suffering the ultimate humiliation at her hands. 
‘The Gentlemen’s Club’ explores the varying nature of desire, and the sexual empowerment of women. It features menage and exhibitionism, and darker paths.
  We live in the wondrous here and now and it is here that our flesh must take its pleasure. Your body is yours and yours alone, but not for long, and never long enough. Take your seat. The curtain is rising. An erotic novella set in London, 1898.

Foreword, Victorian London
The nineteenth century was perhaps the time of greatest prudery and hypocrisy regarding womens sexual identity. Those who strayed from the path of purity, engaging in sex outside of marriage, were referred to as fallen women. While it was expected that men would indulge their sexual impulses widely, regardless of wedlock, it was unthinkable for a genteelwoman to admit to enjoyment of her marriage bed. For her to express undue interest was a sign of wantonness. In extreme cases, she might be referred to an asylum for treatment of this perversion. By the turn of the century, London alone boasted hundreds of thousands of women earning money from prostitution. Although sheaths, made from animal gut, had been in use for some time, the use of rubber caps (womb veils) allowed women to gain greater control over pregnancy, over their bodies, and, thereby, over some of their choices. 

Volume Two is currently under the pen.                                                                                                ****For sale on Amazon  – 18+ only – due to scenes of a nature sexually explicit****
About the Author
I am a lover of sushi and Earl Grey tea, a lover of canines scruffy and nose-licky, a lover of words and of empty spaces, a lover of the wilderness and the squawk of living. Saucily wonky, I like to find the margins and the edges.
I'm currently writing volume two for the Noire series, set in Italy, and am soon to release a collection of erotic-horror folk tales, inspired by Slavonic mythology and superstitions.
I draw inspiration from everything I read and watch, but especially the words of Angela Carter, Sarah Waters, Michel Faber and Jeanette Winterson.
