Here it is at last. Just in time for Christmas. The first book in (I hope) a series about a young boy's experiences growing up in my fantasy where male slavery is firmly established as part of the new world order.

As I indicated before, the boy is an observer, at least to begin with, so no worries about underage shenanigans - although he is very up close to things and even "hands on" on some occasions. And he gets his fair share of shock, pain and punishment.

But it's the people he meets (Masters and slaves) and their stories that is what it's all about. A chance for me to take a vicarious journey into my dream world of pain and submission.

As ever I will try and put on some speed with my writing. I'm currently working on a short piece involving one of the young characters in Robbie and Me, a few years on. When that's finished I'll start on Book Two of Adam's Journey.

It seems ages since I last posted. That's because it is! My only excuse is that I am still labouring over the final chapters of the new story, which is the first volume (I hope) of Adam's Journey. Provisional title "Robbie and Me" (or possibly "Me and Robbie" - it's difficult decisions like that that hold me up!). The thing is, I'd got to Chapter 12 and it was going to be the last and then these new characters suddenly turned up and I had to add a new chapter to tell their story (think Native Americans!). But I've dealt with them now, and am speeding towards the conclusion.

If I haven't mentioned it yet on this blog, Adam's Journey is going to follow the adventures and experiences of a young English boy who (in my post-apocalyptic world where the Reich Masters rule Europe and slavery is their main pastime) is captured and sold into slavery. It focus's mainly on the people he meets, mostly other slaves, and their stories, but it also follows his own thoughts and feelings about what is going on around him. 

As a taster, here's the short prologue.

PREFACE TO BOOK ONE

I am kneeling beside my Master as he reads me this first volume of His Book. It is my story, or rather it is the story of my journey from childhood into slavery, but it His Book. Just as I am His slave.

I was taught a little how to read and write when I was a child, before they took me, but that is so long ago now that I have forgotten most of it, which makes me very slow. But my Master, who is very fond of me and is very kind, has listened to me recounting it all and has written it down. And now it sounds so beautiful with words that I would never have been able to find that I am proud to be kneeling here listening to him read it.

A lot of what is described in the book happened many years ago. I am about thirty-eight years old now, according to my Master’s calculations, which is quite old for a slave, but I am fortunate that he wishes to keep me as a companion. And he has a young grandson, who is about the age I was when this story begins, and I have to take care of him and serve him as well as my Master. For my Master is not well. He may not live many years longer. That is why he has made me the joint property of himself and his grandson. That way I can go on serving him even after his death.

Here then is the story of my journey into slavery and the stories of the people I have encountered and the adventures I have had along the way.

A Slave's Pain

After reading one of my stories, somebody wrote and asked me what enjoyment is gained from causing so much pain to a slave? The obvious and immediate answer is that it excites me - but then I got thinking a bit more seriously about it. It's a very good question.

If I focus on the pleasure some Masters get from inflicting pain on a slave (and some of my fictional masters are pretty cruel and unsavoury) it is to highlight the plight of the slave himself - his painful journey - the incredible discipline and endurance which will in the long term be his path to salvation.

But not all my 'Master' characters are quite so brutal. One or two of them I am trying to develop so that they too go on a journey, building empathy and understanding so that at some stage there will be some sort of spiritual union between slave and Master.

A lot of this I am exploring and discovering as I go along, which is part of my enjoyment in writing these stories. Occasionally I go over the top! The Wooden Stake (one of the four Short Fantasies) has been criticised in the past as being too violent and sadistic. A fair comment. Actually it's really just an erotic horror story (sort of a 'queer' Edgar Alan Poe).

In fact a lot of my ideas spring from adventure stories. I once tried to write my own traditional adventure story - but it kept ending up with my young hero tied up, humiliated or being tortured and it pretty soon came clear to me that that's where my real inspiration lies!

A BROTHER'S SECRET

A BROTHER'S SECRET

I've tried something slightly different with this story. I hope it works.It's a kind of domestic story set in a world very like ours but in which slavery is a normal part of life. It focusses on the relationship of two orphaned brothers.

Love between brothers has always fascinated me. I had an older brother once, now deceased, but we were never close. Perhaps that made me long for a more intimate sibling relationship. A big brother who would look out for me (as my brother never did). Anyway, in this story the two brothers both learn the meaning of love and sacrifice.

CONRAD'S FIRST DAY

Here is my first offering. 
ASCHAVEN: CONRAD'S FIRST DAY.

It introduces the reader to the imagined world that is the background to many of my stories. A post war Europe which is ruled by the fearsome Reichmarshalls. Slavery is, naturally, a fundamental part of this world - and I may elaborate on the (imagined) historical and cultural background of this fascinating new world order in future blogs.

For now, here is a story about Conrad (a key character in my imagined world) and his introduction to the Slave Utilisation Centre at Aschaven.

WELCOME!

Welcome to my story collection.
Some of you may be familar with my writing on Yahoo Groups under the name of John Dee. Having reached a certain age, I have been looking back over some of my stories, polishing them up and improving them - as well as continuing to write new ones.

I am presenting them here as downloadable e-books and pdfs because personally I prefer reading longer stories on apps and devices designed  specifically for reading, rather than having to scroll through lengthy webpages or postings. It also gives me an opportunity to design my own layout and include some of my little line drawings - like the one here.

I've written stories about young male captives and boy slaves all my life. I suppose it's just the way I am. They're not great literature, but they have a kernel of truth for me and that is why I take such care with them. Some of the imagined circumstances might be illogical, impractical, even silly, but what matters most is the thrill and adventure of erotic discovery through obedience and servitude - and that is my journey. 

I hope you enjoy them,
John Dee Cooper
