Exactly.
Erica stands apart from anyone else to whom she might be compared. And she probably likes it that way.
I wanted to plug Erica's new autobiography, Late Bloomer, as soon as it came out. But I knew I couldn't provide a fair review without first having read it. I just finished Late Bloomer and it was even better than I anticipated. Once I began, I could hardly put it down.
Many people know Erica Scott as a leading spanking model, popular blogger, and talented writer. She's beautiful, clever, funny, resourceful, and to her numerous fans, a familiar ambassador for our community. In Late Bloomer, we discover another facet of Erica, an independent woman, tested by life, who dares to define success on her own terms.
The story is not entirely cheery, in fact some portions are quite dark, but Erica's wonderful humor and indomitable spirit carry the day. The book begins by tracing Erica's progression from quiet child to troubled teen to unhappy adult. Gradually, however, she overcomes a series of obstacles and transforms her life for the better. The second half of the book describes the completion of her metamorphosis from timid, worried Erica to Erica Scott, international spanko superstar.
Although I was familiar with some of the stories from Erica's blog, never were they so much in context. Late Bloomer is a portrait of a life still evolving. Erica acknowledges her limitations and fears, even as she ably navigates past them. Celebrating her catalog of triumphs reinforces the considerable admiration I have long felt for Erica.
I probably wouldn't choose to pursue some of the activities that Erica has tried. But her courageous example inspires me to move beyond my comfort zone and be more adventurous both in kink and in life. Thank you, dear friend, for that gift.
For anyone who enjoys Erica's videos, reads her blog, or considers themselves a spanking enthusiast, Late Bloomer is a must-have book. You can learn how to buy it here.
I hope Spielberg produces the film adaptation.
