  this week's guest, Rihanna Jameson, AUSA today, best
• 0:31
  selling author, co-owner of GTP Publishing and organizer of all
• 0:35
  things Dirty Daddy's and that's a lot of things.
• 0:37
  That's dirty Daddy's party room, Dirty Daddy's anthologies, Dirty
• 0:40
  Daddy's Publishing and Dirty Daddy's do Vegas, which is why
• 0:43
  I'm so excited to have her on the podcast today.
• 0:45
  Welcome Rihanna. Hi, thank you for coming on.
• 0:48
  You're so much better at the time keeping of this.
• 0:51
  How many years have we about each other?
• 0:54
  Well, it's 2025 now, so 14 years. 14 years, my longest
• 0:59
  friend in the community. Wow, I know.
• 1:03
  I would say the same is true. Yeah, we met.
• 1:06
  On an online forum way back in the day, back in the day before
• 1:10
  so many other things that we reference now even popped up,
• 1:13
  there was no Instagram. Facebook had started, but it
• 1:17
  there weren't the groups we have today.
• 1:19
  It was very. Different landscape of social
• 1:22
  media act then. I know.
• 1:24
  So we it wasn't like it was almost like an AOL chat room we
• 1:27
  met on. I was actually trying to
• 1:28
  remember this the other day, the name of the platform that was
• 1:31
  hosting the forum. There's no chance in hell I will
• 1:34
  ever remember that. But like, there's no way that
• 1:36
  platform exists anymore either. You're organizing a book
• 1:40
  convention. I was thinking, you know, we've
• 1:42
  had a community on Facebook and social media called Dirty
• 1:46
  Daddy's Party Room 4 years now and we've done a lot of really
• 1:50
  cool things in the community has like grown and grown over the
• 1:52
  years and supported us. And this was actually not my
• 1:56
  idea. It was my co-author Alyssa
• 1:58
  Hart's idea to throw this convention because she's the
• 2:01
  idea girl and I'm an ultimate happen girl.
• 2:04
  And we just kind of wanted to like think the community and
• 2:08
  like celebrate like nobody thought our little niche genre
• 2:12
  party room would get as big as it did or that like our projects
• 2:17
  would get as big as they did or all the things that that little
• 2:21
  Facebook group has led to us accomplishing this kind of
• 2:24
  insane. And so it was kind of like a
• 2:26
  thank you. Also drawing back on like the
• 2:29
  big book conventions that used to take place in Vegas, like the
• 2:32
  one that I met you at and a couple others that used to take
• 2:35
  place, and kind of putting our own spin on it.
• 2:38
  For people who aren't as familiar with it, can you tell
• 2:40
  me what dirty daddies are? What is a daddy?
• 2:43
  What makes your daddies dirty? We always say that Daddy is
• 2:47
  actually a very forgiving genre. We call it a genre now, even
• 2:50
  though it's technically like an A trope if you're going into the
• 2:53
  whole romance thing, because of how popular and mainstream it's
• 2:57
  gotten, we believe that it's getting well on its way to genre
• 3:01
  status. And so we always say that it's
• 3:04
  really forgiving and there's so many different ways to do it.
• 3:06
  And in the party room, we welcome all of those ways
• 3:09
  everywhere from Daddy King to like deep age playbooks.
• 3:11
  And so I think that anybody you ask is going to have a different
• 3:15
  answer. It really just depends on the
• 3:16
  author. It depends on the subgenres.
• 3:19
  You can have dark daddies, you can have soft daddies, you can
• 3:21
  have light daddies, you can have like.
• 3:23
  It just depends. And it's hard to talk about it
• 3:25
  even like I'm dating kinky right now.
• 3:27
  When I tell people I'm looking for a daddy, they're like, well,
• 3:29
  like, are you a little? And I'm like, no, I'm not.
• 3:32
  I just want a daddy. It's a range of things and you
• 3:35
  kind of have to be super specific about what you're
• 3:37
  looking for. Like a whole Ted Talk on the
• 3:40
  whole. Like having the daddy doesn't
• 3:42
  make you a little the two. Separate concept.
• 3:45
  People think that when they hear Daddy because the DDLG thing is
• 3:49
  so common and that is part, but it's not all.
• 3:52
  It's a spectrum arranged, and I'm glad that Daddy's is on its
• 3:55
  way to its own genre status. It is expensive.
• 3:58
  Like yeah, it ranges from full on just age gap daddy king to
• 4:01
  like, you know, more of a BDSMDS domestic discipline type with
• 4:07
  just the different title of daddy instead of and then all
• 4:09
  the way down to like the deep age play and the DDLG and all of
• 4:13
  those. And even those, they're
• 4:15
  different depending on who's doing them.
• 4:17
  I mean, King is so customizable anyway, why wouldn't daddies be
• 4:20
  the same? Let's set the stage though, of
• 4:23
  you became an author first, you started writing books yourself.
• 4:27
  After I moved to Utah, I started writing in 2014.
• 4:31
  Don't ask me how many books I published because I don't know.
• 4:34
  It's a lot I. Feel like I'd have a running
• 4:35
  count if I published books. You're just like Crank in the.
• 4:38
  Mouth I used to. I honestly don't know.
• 4:41
  It's I believe that it's over 60.
• 4:43
  Oh my God, that's exactly what I say about how many men I've
• 4:45
  slept with. Like I like I put the last stop
• 4:48
  counting at 60, but obviously a lot, a lot more work goes into a
• 4:52
  book you've been writing for like 11 years now.
• 4:54
  Yeah, exactly. Pretty much because, well, I
• 4:57
  started in like the end of 2013 after I moved to Utah and my
• 5:01
  first book was published April or May of 2014.
• 5:05
  Yeah, I. Love that.
• 5:06
  I feel like if I had said to you when we first met 14 years ago,
• 5:09
  oh, this is where you're going to be in 14 years, would you
• 5:12
  have believed it? No, but would you have believed
• 5:14
  if I had told you where you would be like crazy?
• 5:16
  The past we've both taken. Yeah, it's true.
• 5:19
  Probably not. You're right.
• 5:20
  I I wish someone could have told me that I guess I wouldn't know
• 5:24
  where I was going to be now because the path is crazy.
• 5:27
  Everything in the kink world is it takes so many shapes.
• 5:31
  OK, so you started writing. Were your first books Daddy
• 5:33
  books? They absolutely were not.
• 5:36
  I was very clicked out at 1st and I didn't understand it and
• 5:40
  then I started reading it. A couple of my other friends
• 5:43
  started dipping their toes into it.
• 5:44
  Then my co-author, she really likes daddy books and we started
• 5:48
  writing them together and then it just became the thing that I
• 5:52
  did. I would do both.
• 5:53
  I would do daddy books and non daddy books.
• 5:56
  But pretty much like once I started Dirty Daddy's Party
• 5:59
  Room, it was like why are you writing a non daddy book?
• 6:02
  Like what are you doing? So the party room is the first
• 6:07
  Facebook group. Is there just one Facebook room
• 6:09
  or are there a couple? That's the main 1:00.
• 6:11
  And then of course, there's one that's specifically just for the
• 6:14
  convention. The party group is probably
• 6:17
  really close to 9000 members now.
• 6:19
  It's very huge. Yeah, we're pretty proud of it.
• 6:22
  It's run by me and a handful of authors that we selected when we
• 6:25
  started the room. A couple of them have left.
• 6:27
  Like it's changed up a few times, but mainly it's the same
• 6:31
  group of authors, like at its core, and we run the group
• 6:34
  together and then it's just, it's become its own little piece
• 6:37
  though. So it's run very differently
• 6:40
  than it was in the beginning. Just like we had reader admins
• 6:44
  in the beginning. Now we have like kind of my
• 6:46
  business partner really does a lot of help on the admin side.
• 6:49
  All of the authors, like I said, the authors, some of them have
• 6:52
  changed. Honestly, it almost runs itself
• 6:55
  like it's so active. It's hard for me to keep up with
• 6:58
  it sometimes because there's so much happening.
• 7:00
  It's hard for me to keep up with it.
• 7:02
  Like, our readers are really, really great about telling us if
• 7:06
  things are going on that shouldn't be.
• 7:08
  And we've tried really hard to keep it, like a safe, inclusive
• 7:10
  place. But you know, sometimes things
• 7:12
  slip through the cracks and you have to go back and fix it.
• 7:15
  How can they not when there's that much posting going on?
• 7:17
  I mean, 9000 really active people on there for people who
• 7:22
  are listening in and they want to go check it out right now.
• 7:24
  You go to Facebook. Do you just put in the search
• 7:28
  bar? Dirty daddy's party room OK
• 7:32
  daddies like DADD i.e. S And then is there like an
• 7:35
  approval process you have to go through?
• 7:37
  Yeah, there are membership questions.
• 7:40
  I believe it's like, who's your favorite daddy author?
• 7:43
  It might be how do you how did you find this group?
• 7:45
  And then basically, like, do you understand that this is a book
• 7:47
  group and not a dating group? Wait, have you run into people
• 7:51
  thinking that they could a? 100% I get the people like you
• 7:56
  know, the showing the boob shots being like looking for my own
• 7:58
  dirty daddy and I'm like Nope. Not happening here.
• 8:02
  Have you ever considered opening it up to a dating group too?
• 8:06
  My God, no. I feel like there's a liability
• 8:09
  for people's safety when you're doing stuff like that, and I
• 8:12
  just. For sure, I agree with that.
• 8:13
  I think that's why all those laws popped up too about it.
• 8:16
  Especially when you're talking daddies, that's like interesting
• 8:19
  place to navigate. And any kind of kink is an
• 8:22
  interesting place to navigate, I think.
• 8:24
  And I've just seen it too much where I just.
• 8:27
  I think the line between fiction and real life sometimes is too
• 8:32
  deep, and you need to make sure that it stays.
• 8:35
  Yeah, it needs to stay very defined because the things that
• 8:38
  we allow in books we wouldn't want in real life.
• 8:42
  Thinking that that's how it's supposed to be and then getting
• 8:45
  into trouble with, you know, not vetting people properly and
• 8:48
  stuff. Do you put trigger warnings at
• 8:51
  the start? Of your books, me personally, I
• 8:53
  don't unless there's like I don't put trigger warnings for
• 8:57
  the daddy, I don't put trigger warnings for DDLG.
• 9:00
  I don't put trigger warnings for most of it.
• 9:02
  I tend to go really deep emotionally in my stories and so
• 9:05
  if I am dealing with things like Ed or SA then yes I will.
• 9:10
  But otherwise. No, things that wouldn't be
• 9:13
  expected from your normal books because like, yeah, if I'm
• 9:16
  picking up on your books, I guess I would have to assume
• 9:18
  that there's going to be some daddy content going on.
• 9:22
  So you're coming to my town and you've got Dirty Daddies do
• 9:26
  Vegas coming on March 20th to 22nd, right?
• 9:31
  OK, what can I expect when I show up?
• 9:32
  Because I'm definitely going to be there.
• 9:34
  So much fun. We have like 70 authors signed
• 9:37
  up to come from all over the world.
• 9:39
  Like we have some authors coming from New Zealand.
• 9:42
  Wow, some of these trousers I have never really met or even
• 9:45
  had a conversation with. And then some of them are like
• 9:47
  my best friends that I work with and have worked with for years.
• 9:50
  So it's like a whole range. And the readers as well.
• 9:55
  We have readers coming that, you know, I've interacted with
• 9:58
  online for years and years and years.
• 10:00
  Some of them I've met in person before and then some I've never
• 10:03
  even heard of because they're coming, you know, for their
• 10:05
  favorite author or whatever. We have our models coming.
• 10:08
  So we have 4 of the ones that I believe are just the cream of
• 10:13
  the crop, looks wise, personality wise, like
• 10:16
  professionalism and in the way that they really work hard to
• 10:20
  support the authors. Like this isn't just, you know,
• 10:23
  a side gig where they're like, I'll throw my photo up and try
• 10:25
  to sell some pictures. And like, they really embrace
• 10:28
  the romance community. Really embrace The Dirty daddy's
• 10:31
  party room part of the romance community.
• 10:34
  The four that we have are pretty good friends, at least online.
• 10:37
  I don't know if they all know each other in person yet.
• 10:39
  Yeah, but they're about to and like, watching them online, just
• 10:43
  the way they hype each other up. I'm so excited.
• 10:46
  Oh, that's amazing. That's really fun.
• 10:47
  So they're also in the Facebook group, and when authors come
• 10:51
  out, they're promoting the books they're on the cover of.
• 10:54
  Yes, and they have all been on at least one Dirty Daddy's
• 10:57
  anthology now. Oh wow.
• 10:59
  One that is like in pre-order and about to come out.
• 11:02
  How many anthologies have there been?
• 11:04
  We did one in 2019, we did one in 2020, we did one in 2021, we
• 11:09
  did two in 2022 and three in 20, 23 and this year in 2024 or
• 11:16
  well, starting in 2024 until the con, we had one come out in
• 11:21
  June, we had one come out in August, we had one come out in
• 11:23
  October, we had one come out in December.
• 11:25
  We have 1 coming out in February and one coming out in March
• 11:27
  right before the convention. Crack.
• 11:29
  How do you even have time to be on here with me right now?
• 11:32
  You don't know how many authors take part in that.
• 11:34
  So when we were doing just a one or two big anthologies a year
• 11:39
  and we were usually trying to hit a USA TODAY list, we would
• 11:42
  have like 20 some authors this year.
• 11:44
  The USA TODAY list is kind of like not even the thing that
• 11:47
  indie authors can really hit anymore.
• 11:49
  And so he restructured and we themed out our anthology.
• 11:54
  So each of the ones that have have come out have a completely
• 11:57
  different theme from the one before it and they have 6
• 12:00
  authors each except for the one that's coming out in February
• 12:03
  because we had a drop out that we weren't able to replace.
• 12:05
  So we have 5 in that one. OK.
• 12:07
  Wow, That's a lot of people to coordinate and get them on
• 12:09
  schedule to get this together. Yeah, are you helping to edit
• 12:13
  these anthologies? I proofread every single story
• 12:16
  and I always have. The manuscripts are supposed to
• 12:19
  come to me professionally edited.
• 12:20
  The only cases where they don't is because the author is hiring
• 12:24
  me as the editor. OK.
• 12:27
  And then you obviously are very involved with the whole process.
• 12:31
  And then I proofread it anyway, so.
• 12:34
  That makes sense. OK, the anthologies.
• 12:37
  There's Dirty Daddy's publishing, but also GTB
• 12:40
  publishing. Yeah.
• 12:42
  GTB Publishing is like the parent umbrella company.
• 12:45
  We actually had our one year anniversary yesterday.
• 12:48
  Oh. My gosh, congratulations.
• 12:50
  That's huge. It was started after me and my
• 12:52
  business partner had both worked in publishing for many years
• 12:57
  just helping other people's publishing companies, and we
• 13:00
  actually both worked for the same publishing company, Red Hot
• 13:03
  Romance. Red Hot was kind of needing a
• 13:06
  shift and we decided that we would go ahead and start our own
• 13:10
  company. We really wanted to work
• 13:12
  together and we had some big ideas, so we started it and then
• 13:16
  four days after we announced that we had started it, we ended
• 13:20
  up actually buying Red Hot, the company we had both worked for.
• 13:24
  Another anniversary coming up on like Tuesday or in 2 days.
• 13:28
  And got. Something I think maybe Sunday,
• 13:29
  I don't know, it's like the 19th.
• 13:31
  So you started GT and then almost immediately acquired the
• 13:36
  one you were previously at and combined them, and you've been
• 13:40
  making that happen for a year now.
• 13:42
  Yeah. So we have, yeah, the parent
• 13:44
  company and then four different imprints.
• 13:46
  So GTB is the parent company, but it's also the name of an
• 13:49
  imprint. That's our dark romance imprint.
• 13:51
  We're still in on getting that one up and running, Dirty
• 13:54
  Daddy's publishing. So we started an imprint for
• 13:56
  Dirty Daddy's. We do the anthologies under that
• 13:59
  one, but we're also publishing other authors Daddy books now
• 14:03
  and then we have Red Hot, which is the imprint that we had both
• 14:05
  previously worked for, does a lot of kink romance and stuff, a
• 14:09
  lot of Daddy books as well. We have authors that were
• 14:11
  already publishing there and they have continuing series.
• 14:15
  So we're not moving them to a different imprint.
• 14:17
  We're just keeping them under that impact.
• 14:19
  It's kind of her generic kink books.
• 14:21
  We have passionate pages which we haven't done anything with
• 14:25
  yet. We're doing a launch here, maybe
• 14:27
  in April, and it's going to be like short insta love with kink
• 14:30
  or no king. Just depends on the author.
• 14:33
  Knowing. My friends, it'll be there'll be
• 14:35
  kink I feel like. Kink is becoming slightly more
• 14:38
  mainstream where there's a little bit of something
• 14:41
  everywhere and I'm here for it, but I.
• 14:44
  Think it's. Less shocking when people see it
• 14:47
  now. Do you find that people are more
• 14:50
  open to it now than when you started writing ten years ago?
• 14:53
  I want to say that I think there was people have always maybe
• 14:57
  been more open to it than they thought.
• 14:58
  They just didn't encounter it as as often.
• 15:01
  But also it's definitely more mainstream and you've got these
• 15:06
  books that are kinky as hell just going mainstream.
• 15:09
  And I'm here for it. Personally.
• 15:11
  I'm really. Oh.
• 15:12
  Absolutely. Well, I still have an active
• 15:14
  Kindle Unlimited subscription where I'm reading a bunch of
• 15:17
  stuff and then audible. But what authors do you have
• 15:21
  coming? OK, so some of the really,
• 15:24
  really popular authors that we have coming are Layla Roberts,
• 15:26
  who is coming all the way from New Zealand.
• 15:28
  We hate Oliver. She is coming from Washington.
• 15:32
  And we have Renee Rose. You've met Renee in Vegas.
• 15:35
  Actually, this. Is my favorite story, though,
• 15:37
  because I met Renee Rose the same time I met you.
• 15:40
  And it's not that I wasn't reading everyone's stuff.
• 15:42
  I just, you know, it didn't really click with me.
• 15:44
  And then I started, I don't know, reading Renee Rose romance
• 15:47
  novels and I became addicted. Like addicted, could not get
• 15:50
  enough of her stuff. And you were like, you know, you
• 15:53
  met her, which might drop of a sentence.
• 15:55
  I'm like, what? I met my favorite person before
• 15:58
  I knew they were my favorite author.
• 16:00
  I fan girl on her TikTok all the time.
• 16:03
  Yeah, she's amazing. She's a signing author, but
• 16:06
  she's also our keynote speaker. She's started writing non
• 16:09
  fiction books about like manifestation and stuff.
• 16:12
  Oh cool, well I wouldn't read anything that she wrote so.
• 16:16
  Actually sent me her synopsis since yesterday and it for her
• 16:20
  like her keynote speech and the title is Make the Universe your
• 16:23
  sugar Daddy. OK, I cannot wait.
• 16:25
  So obviously I'm going to meet some of my favorite authors and
• 16:28
  get book signed, get to talk with people.
• 16:31
  Are there going to be panels? Yes, there are two days full of
• 16:35
  panels and activities. One of the ones we're really
• 16:38
  excited about is the cover model panel, because it's not common
• 16:41
  for cover models to have their own panel too much.
• 16:44
  And so our cover models are going to be on a panel and
• 16:47
  people can ask them questions and they can talk about how they
• 16:50
  got started and all of that. So we have the covered model
• 16:53
  panel, we have the daddy panel, which kind of talks about what
• 16:55
  we've already talked about, like how daddy has become a genre and
• 16:58
  different ways to write daddy and all of that.
• 17:00
  People who are interested in starting to write daddy content,
• 17:05
  this is This would be a good one for them to go to a. 100% we
• 17:09
  also have the world building and long running series panel that
• 17:12
  talks about like multi author worlds and you know, just long
• 17:16
  running series and how to keep them coming back for more and
• 17:19
  things like that. We have a lifestyle littles
• 17:21
  panel. Some of my favorite littles that
• 17:24
  are they balance being little with also running like extremely
• 17:29
  successful careers in the romance genre.
• 17:32
  And so that is going to be really fun.
• 17:33
  We have an inclusivity and diversity and romance panel.
• 17:38
  We have a sex and kink panel. We have LGTBQIA plus romance
• 17:43
  panel or it's daddy in the daddy in the LGTBQIA plus romance
• 17:49
  genre. Daddies don't have to be a
• 17:51
  traditional man. Like no 100% daddy is.
• 17:55
  Just a title, Not just very important title, but it's an
• 17:58
  honorific. And that's something that we've
• 18:00
  always stood on in Dirty Daddy's party room, like in our
• 18:02
  anthology and stuff, we actually have Dirty Daddy's pride and
• 18:05
  ology and all of that. And so we've always kind of
• 18:08
  stood on that. And so that is the name of the
• 18:11
  that is the panel. OK.
• 18:12
  And possibly actually very interesting to me how the
• 18:15
  different pairings and readerships have way different
• 18:18
  expectations in of their Daddy books.
• 18:20
  It's no. Way.
• 18:21
  How are they so different? Does the role change?
• 18:24
  Is it the relationship between the characters?
• 18:26
  Is it I need to know the? MF authors and readers, most of
• 18:30
  them really prefer like discipline, like gerundaddies,
• 18:34
  all that and the MMM do not seem to like that at all.
• 18:39
  And it's just it better be fun and playful sexy.
• 18:44
  And is there any female female. Yes, but I don't think that that
• 18:47
  one is as prevalent yet. And so and it's by both MF
• 18:52
  authors and MM authors. And so there's no like seemingly
• 18:55
  rules or expectations yet that I can figure out.
• 18:59
  There's a free for all in that space at this time, which is
• 19:03
  cool because sometimes these things do become formulaic
• 19:06
  because they have to sort of it's expected until someone else
• 19:09
  branches out and then that becomes a new formula because
• 19:12
  people are into it. FF Daddy is definitely.
• 19:15
  We've had it in our anthologies many times over the years, but
• 19:17
  it's definitely starting to show up more in like sapphic romance.
• 19:22
  Yeah, makes sense. Very excited to see where it
• 19:25
  goes. I'm excited to see where all of
• 19:27
  this is going. We have what I'm calling because
• 19:30
  I can't think of the whole name of it right now, but we call it
• 19:33
  the Dinosaur Panel. Basically authors that have been
• 19:35
  doing this for 10 years or more talking about how the industry
• 19:39
  has changed and like the trends and how to keep up.
• 19:42
  And you know, KU coming in and then this coming in, then KOA
• 19:45
  plus. And like how you keep up with
• 19:47
  all of it. OK.
• 19:48
  Are you on the dinosaur panel? I very well could be, but
• 19:51
  because I am running in the con I'm only trying to be on very
• 19:56
  very few panels. So I chose to be on the Daddy
• 19:58
  panel because because of, you know, of starting the party
• 20:01
  room, of starting Dirty Daddy's publishing, etc.
• 20:03
  Yes. OK, so you you're stretched
• 20:05
  pretty thin. You had to decide one, but there
• 20:08
  will be a few authors on the dinosaur panel which probably
• 20:12
  won't be that name, although it would be very funny for.
• 20:14
  No, it's not. It's old school, is the name of
• 20:16
  the panel. Oh.
• 20:17
  OK, I like that. How the industry changes and how
• 20:19
  to keep up with it or something like that?
• 20:21
  Solid title, we'll take it. Is there a website?
• 20:23
  Mydirtydaddies.com and then go to 30 daddies do Vegas.
• 20:29
  There should be a drop down menu for tickets information.
• 20:33
  If you want to be a vendor, there's a vendor application.
• 20:35
  There should be the schedule. I don't update the website
• 20:39
  because I'm not technology friendly so but it is changing
• 20:43
  all the time. March. 20th to 22nd, This
• 20:46
  convention sounds like it's going to be good for readers,
• 20:49
  authors and people in the lifestyle who are interested in
• 20:52
  learning more, too. But you're going to have people
• 20:53
  who are living it. They're not just writing about
• 20:55
  it. Right, exactly.
• 20:57
  I'm so excited and then I'm going to get to meet some of my
• 21:00
  favorite authors who I guess I've also met some of them
• 21:04
  before. Sue Linden is going to be there,
• 21:05
  and I know for sure that you've met Sue.
• 21:07
  I remember Sue and I'm excited because this is almost like our
• 21:11
  reunion. We met in person for the first
• 21:14
  time in Vegas. What year was that?
• 21:16
  It was 2016. I think that was the best Vegas
• 21:20
  trip I ever had. We went for seven days.
• 21:23
  Yeah, it was a long convention, Yeah.
• 21:26
  Yeah, but no one goes for seven days.
• 21:27
  No one comes to Vegas for seven days unless you're insane.
• 21:30
  I remember by the day five, I don't even smoke anymore, but it
• 21:33
  was 10. AMI was drinking a vodka soda at
• 21:36
  a slot machine and smoking a cigarette in my pajamas.
• 21:39
  And I remember thinking, this is too long.
• 21:42
  It's too long. So like, I'm glad you're keeping
• 21:45
  it contained in a three day period, but people will
• 21:48
  obviously come in the night before, I assume like the 19th
• 21:52
  and stay possibly until the 20 23rd.
• 21:54
  Yeah. How soon do people need to buy
• 21:56
  to be able to reserve as part of that hotel block?
• 21:59
  The hotel block has a certain number of rooms, and once all
• 22:01
  those rooms are booked then you're out with the hotel block
• 22:04
  prices. You can still stay at the hotel,
• 22:06
  or you can stay somewhere else, but you don't get the hotel
• 22:08
  block prices. So what else is going on at the
• 22:10
  convention? So many things.
• 22:12
  So aside from the different panels, interspersed between
• 22:16
  those panels we will be having different activities that I am
• 22:18
  very excited about. We have some like game time for
• 22:22
  littles, like a author organized craft time where you can kind of
• 22:26
  go and different authors will have different crafts set up and
• 22:28
  stuff we have. But one of the things that is a
• 22:31
  huge draw is our cover model. Bingo.
• 22:33
  I'm excited about everything cover models just because it is
• 22:36
  fun to get a cute photo from time to time.
• 22:38
  And there's going to be there's going to be trivia, which I'm
• 22:42
  personally a huge fan of trivia. So we might the plan is to do
• 22:45
  Dirty Daddy's trivia. And I think there's Rawhide
• 22:47
  trivia as well. There's like all kinds of fun
• 22:50
  events. And then every single day there
• 22:52
  is a catered that you can come and you can eat with the authors
• 22:55
  and the models and we'll probably do raffles during.
• 22:58
  And that's where our keynote speaker will be at our welcome
• 23:01
  breakfast. And then we have an after party
• 23:03
  every single night. What things are going to get
• 23:07
  wild? Where are the?
• 23:08
  Is it going to be in one of the suites?
• 23:09
  It's in the convention space. Oh my gosh, things are going to
• 23:12
  get really wild. Then I don't know if it's going
• 23:14
  to get really wild, but we have some really cool themes and and
• 23:18
  parties going on. So the first night is sponsored
• 23:21
  by Everly Rain. So it is Everly Rain, sleepy
• 23:24
  sinners pajama party. That's going to be wild, OK.
• 23:28
  Pajama party. We're going to have cover model
• 23:30
  karaoke at that party, so you can choose a cover model to sing
• 23:34
  karaoke with. Whoa, I'm so excited.
• 23:39
  I'm like gotta pick my song OK and my cover model.
• 23:42
  And then the next day is sponsored by Nora Phoenix and it
• 23:48
  is Nora's Proud to Be You party. It is pride themed.
• 23:52
  You're encouraged to wear rainbows, but most importantly
• 23:55
  to come however you feel the most comfortable, whether that's
• 23:59
  in like pajamas or like fully decked to the nines.
• 24:02
  OK. There's gonna be like 80s and
• 24:05
  90s dance music that night and just a good old time.
• 24:09
  I've talked to Nora Entropy A and, and like, it really sounds
• 24:13
  like they're going all out. So that should be a really good
• 24:16
  time on Saturday. This is this is the big one.
• 24:18
  This is a huge draw in the DDLG Raider community.
• 24:22
  My co-author Ali Bell is going to be there and she is the
• 24:28
  creator of the Rawhide Ranch series which is a multi author
• 24:32
  world that has spanned I don't even know how many years now and
• 24:36
  probably has like over 40 or 50 authors that have written in the
• 24:39
  world or are slated right in the world in the future.
• 24:42
  And it's a huge series based upon a kink ranch in Montana
• 24:48
  that is like has a dungeon and everything and it's open till
• 24:52
  it's like a resort people can come visit.
• 24:54
  But also it's also a safe haven. They take care of all these
• 24:57
  displaced littles. Oh my gosh, I mean, So what is
• 25:01
  Ali doing for? Raw, we have a western themed
• 25:05
  Rawhide Ranch dinner on Saturday.
• 25:07
  And our cover model, one of our cover models, Kevin Davis, he is
• 25:11
  the face of Master Derek, who is the owner of Rawhide Ranch and
• 25:15
  he will be there and he will be there as Master Derek that
• 25:19
  night. My gosh, I'm like, what outfit
• 25:23
  am I going to get? How am I going to read all of
• 25:25
  these books in? Time OK and I think that they
• 25:28
  have shenanigans plan for the dinner and I know that Ali
• 25:31
  doesn't do anything little like I I mentioned before in this
• 25:35
  video, she is the idea girl. I'm very excited to see what is
• 25:38
  happening. I know she has things planned
• 25:40
  for the authors that write in her world that are going to be
• 25:42
  there and things planned for the authors that have written in a
• 25:44
  world that aren't going to be there.
• 25:45
  So she's really representing her series in her community.
• 25:49
  And then after we have the Rawhide ranch party, which
• 25:53
  again, I know for a fact that Ali is going all out.
• 25:56
  It is a western themed party. Kevin will be there as Master
• 25:59
  Derek. I heard something about him and
• 26:01
  Ali teaching line dancing. I'm not really sure.
• 26:05
  And there's gonna be like, special photo OPS with Master
• 26:08
  Derek while we're tearing down from the dinner and setting up
• 26:11
  the party. Do you have a lot going on and
• 26:13
  then is there anything happening on the Sunday?
• 26:15
  Check out and get your stuff and you know, see Vegas if you have
• 26:19
  time and all that stuff. But we're keeping those three
• 26:22
  days. We plan to keep people really
• 26:24
  busy if they want to be really busy.
• 26:26
  Yeah, it sounds like it. Whoa, you have so much planned.
• 26:30
  I'm like, how are you feeling? Really overwhelmed.
• 26:33
  You always pull it off. Always.
• 26:36
  My business partner is amazing. She does all the technical
• 26:39
  behind the scenes stuff and I'm more of the face and like to
• 26:42
  find the readers and find the this and that.
• 26:45
  But she is the organized ticket sales just like figure out this
• 26:49
  and do this and update the website and like she's amazing.
• 26:52
  You're lucky to have really good people around then too, all.
• 26:55
  Right, We have a whole committee that helps in various ways.
• 26:59
  OK, and I'm going to be there all weekend, looking forward to
• 27:02
  all of these nerves. I'm now rethinking all my
• 27:04
  outfits because I was like, just going to show up.
• 27:06
  And now I'm realizing, Oh no, you can't just show up.
• 27:08
  You got to like I got to take part.
• 27:10
  I was looking at outfits last night and all I have nailed down
• 27:14
  so far is that I'm going to wear the same sparkly the cowboy
• 27:18
  boots that I bought for the Era store.
• 27:20
  OK. I like those were nice boots.
• 27:23
  OK. Other than that, I don't.
• 27:25
  Know yet you might have a couple of other things to plan before
• 27:28
  you get to get excited about your outfits.
• 27:30
  Absolutely. For sure we have free Saturday
• 27:34
  signing only, so this only gets you into the big signing on
• 27:38
  Saturday tickets for Nevada residents.
• 27:41
  OK, I mean, I'm coming to the whole thing.
• 27:42
  I'm going to be there, but that's great.
• 27:44
  So if anyone wants to come and get a book signed by one of the
• 27:47
  authors, what will they have to bring their ID to show?
• 27:50
  Their ID, Yeah, but you can go to my Dirty Daddies, as we
• 27:55
  discussed earlier, and go to the Vegas.
• 27:56
  And if you go to tickets and you scroll the way down, it'll say
• 27:59
  Free Nevada resident Saturday only ticket.
• 28:01
  Yeah, if you want to buy tickets, you can go to
• 28:04
  dirtydaddies.com, go to Little Drop down for Dirtydaddies to
• 28:07
  Vegas, and in there you can see all of the different ticket
• 28:10
  options that someone might want. Is there going to be a vendor
• 28:13
  sale? We we're working hard to find
• 28:15
  vendors. We are especially interested in
• 28:18
  finding some local to Las Vegas vendors that are going to sell
• 28:22
  things that our readers and authors are going to be
• 28:25
  interested in buying. So if you are a crafter, you
• 28:28
  make tumblers, you, you sublimate, you crochet like
• 28:32
  those kinds of things. We are definitely paddle
• 28:35
  implements all of that kind of stuff.
• 28:37
  Anything that has to do like you make bookmarks, you make Kindle
• 28:41
  cases, like any, any of those kinds of things for sure.
• 28:44
  But anything related to kink, DDLG and daddy in general.
• 28:49
  And then just like anything related to reading, for sure,
• 28:52
  we'll have the first time at our convention and we have vendor
• 28:56
  tickets as well. OK, so and they can find it on
• 28:58
  the website. Is anyone going to get
• 29:00
  disciplined at this? No.
• 29:02
  So we. Don't know that you do not know
• 29:05
  that no one's going to be disciplined. 100% people will be
• 29:08
  disciplined, but not in public. I think that, you know, we are
• 29:12
  asking that that stuff not take place in the, in the area.
• 29:15
  Like this is a king friendly convention.
• 29:18
  It's not a king convention and we're pretty clear on that
• 29:21
  because consent is everything. And this is that, you know, a
• 29:24
  hotel and not everybody has the same likes and, and dislikes and
• 29:30
  feels comfortable with the same things.
• 29:32
  So 100% it's going to be all about it.
• 29:35
  But if you're actually participating in it, do it in
• 29:38
  your room, OK. And I know for a fact people
• 29:41
  will be. Yes.
• 29:42
  So we'll hear things in the hallways.
• 29:46
  So we will see you at the end of March to the 22nd in Vegas for
• 29:52
  Dirty Daddies Do Vegas. We're going to have a ton of
• 29:55
  author events, lifestyle intro events where people can come to
• 30:00
  panels about it, be cover models.
• 30:02
  It's going to be a good time. Everybody is going to be kink
• 30:05
  friendly even if they are not kinky themselves.
• 30:08
  So it's a kink friendly event and there's something there for
• 30:11
  locals too, if they want to stop by on the Saturday.
• 30:15
  All right, Jameson, thank you so much for coming on.
• 30:18
  I'm really excited and I'm super excited to be on the panel.
• 30:22
  Super excited. Thank you so much for coming on.
