In this eye-opening true story, one woman recounts the double life she led working in two very different professions…one revered and the other reviled. Darlene spent over twenty years being thought of as a well-mannered teacher in a Southern California public school district, but her colleagues and students would have never imagined that for eighteen of those years she also worked as a professional dominatrix in a dungeon.
“Playing Darlene” lets the reader take a peek into the mysterious lives of professionals in the sex industry and some of the jaw-dropping encounters she had with the thousands of clients whose fantasies she helped come true. With everything from roleplaying a shopaholic wife being spanked by her husband to wrapping up a muscular cross-dressing client in plastic and watching him wiggle, Darlene helped men realize their most secret desires…while she wasn’t grading school papers on her breaks. Darlene's true stories of balancing her two different personas are frequently shocking, at times hilarious, and occasionally touching, but at the heart of the story is a woman on a personal journey not only to reconcile with her past, but also to discover the full potential of her own sexuality.Guest Post

What do you
hope your topless photos in The Sport will tell/show readers about women who
are over forty and their sexuality?
Many people don't realize that women over forty can still
look fantastic. Add in emotional
maturity and years of experience and it's obvious that an older lady is the
better choice for a man of any age. I
hope younger guys who have yet to be "cougarized" will take note of
what they've been missing.

Why do you
think the first announcement of your book received so much interest?
My book appeals to people for several reasons. First, readers are intrigued by the two
career choices, which seem to come from opposite ends of the spectrum. Second, most people are unfamiliar with and
curious about what really goes on inside the "forbidden" world of
sex, bondage, and domination. Next, it
gives women a way to vicariously live the life they didn't choose. Finally, the book is ultimately about my own
empowering journey. Women love comparing
notes so to speak.
3. Do you see yourself as a sex
symbol now?
I do believe a woman can be a sex symbol at any age, and I'd
be flattered to be thought of as one.
(Joan Collins looked drop-dead gorgeous in her Playboy spread, remember?)

In the UK
In general, Europeans are more open-minded and evolved than
we are in this country. When it comes to
sexual matters, Americans still have hang ups about things that have been
non-issues in Europe for decades.

What's next for
Darlene?
At the present time, I'm
writing a second book. I plan to include
the more outrageous sessions (over an 18-year period, I did over 5,000), in
addition to answering some of the most common questions I've received on my
Dear Darlene advice column. After that,
who knows? I'm open to suggestions.
