I have for some time been writing books in a series called Join the Girls. I’m currently in the midst of writing volume 18. The series was meant to be based around eroticism. That wasn’t my choice, but my friend Ruth said I was good at that sort of writing, and she pestered me to do something about it. In the end, to get started I simply wrote a book about my life in my early teens when I lived in a hamlet in the English Home Counties where I was the only boy among five girls. To put the content of volume one in a nutshell, they treated me like a live doll or a sex object.
