This is my twelfth year writing LeatherViews for Gay Chicago Magazine and I have touched on a great many topics. Below you'll find a sampling of the topics, and each has a link to a few columns on that topic.

You can choose a column from the list below or click here to do a search of 12 years' worth of columns.

Of course, you can subscribe to my column and receive it each week by selecting the tab above that says "Free E-zine". My books The Master's Manual, The Compleat Slave, Partners In Power, or my new book, Becoming a Slave contain some of the columns listed but many of them are only available here.
