THE BOOKHAMPTON STORES are the first in the U.S. to carry THE KNOT ARTIST!
Charline Spektor, the owner of the three privately owned Bookhamptons — in Southampton, East Hampton and Sag Harbor New York — was bowled over by the book and will be displaying it in the store window but in a brown paper wrapper that says, Recommended for readers 21 & Older!
"This is a true graphic novel without the drawings — pretty terrific because it's got that edge The Knot Artist is not at all what I expected! And the surprise of that was worth the read itself! It's very Dan Brown; a little more kink, a little less religion. My thought is that if people allow themselves to read it, it'll be a huge cult seller. The first-person voice makes it very aggressive & intimate & sexual — and I am wondering who will be bold enough to be seen holding it?"
—Charline Spektor, Owner Bookhamptons
"[In] The Knot Artist, [the] heroine is [a] dominatrix who runs a dungeon for wealthy, powerful masochists for whom vanilla is not enough. If you've ever wanted to enter a dungeon without having foreign objects inserted up your butt, here is a novel that will give you a virtual tour."
—James Wolcott, from the Vanity Fair article, Never Provoke A Dominatrix
"This is a fascinating timely erotic political thriller that goes deep into the S&M fetish world in which men of power pay large amounts of money to be a Sub to a discreet Dom. The key to this entertaining tale that twists from the dungeon to political intrigue is that India Wilson avoids moral condemnation of the BDSM crowd. The fast-paced story line is at its best when entering the dungeon and India’s panic over what to do. Her past with her sister enhances the erotic elements as the audience learns how Dominique got to where she is. Although the spin into a taut international political intrigue subplot adds plenty of well-written suspense, this also takes the audience away from the thrilling visits to the dungeon."
—Harriet Klausner, #1 Amazon reviewer writing in Midwest Book Review, JAN 2011
