Product: Master/slave Mastery -- Protocols: Focusing the intent of your relationship
Description: This book is a map to help others design their own personal protocols. It is a book that provides countless tips and techniques for Masters so they can clarify how they, themselves want to be served. The book gives details about how we (within our relationship) translated those wishes into elegant service.

In our experience, a protocol manual is much more than documenting rules of service. Writing a protocol manual helps you examine and refine your relationship and your relationship management style. The very process of creating a manual such as this reveals the kinds of service Master really wants from the slave and the kinds of service the slave can actually deliver. In that light, writing a protocol manual is an exercise in clarifying the intent of your relationship.

Product: Master/slave Mastery--Advanced: Rekindling the Fire: ideas that matter
Description: Every structured relationship is slightly different. For some, it works just fine; for others, not so well.

This is a book of ideas and suggestions that have evolved from 10+ years of personal experience and study concerning Master/salve relationships. This “advanced” book is the second in the Master/slave Mastery series. It addresses issues/situations common to most long-term structured relationships. There is no beginner-level material in this book: I have assumed that readers have been involved in M/s for five or more years.

In this book you will find two chapters on mastery: one on Master’s mastery and on slave’s mastery. An extensive chapter on nuts-and-bolts issues such as motivators, leadership, control, and punishment. Finally, there is a chapter titled “Little bits of ideas” that enables me to address difficult topics, such as how you interact with yourself and with others, how “service” can be expressed, and specialized communication challenges.

Product: Divided Mastery: Slave Hiring in the American South
Description: Divided Mastery explores a curiously neglected aspect of the history of American slavery: the rental of slaves. Though few slaves escaped being rented out at some point in their lives, this is the first book to describe the practice, and its effects on both slaves and the peculiar institution.

Martin reveals how the unique triangularity of slave hiring created slaves with two masters, thus transforming the customary polarity of master-slave relationships. Drawing upon slaveholders' letters, slave narratives, interviews with former slaves, legislative petitions, and court records, Divided Mastery ultimately reveals that slave hiring's significance was paradoxical.

The practice bolstered the system of slavery by facilitating its spread into the western territories, by democratizing access to slave labor, and by promoting both production and speculation with slave capital. But at the same time, slaves used hiring to their advantage, finding in it crucial opportunities to shape their work and family lives, to bring owners and hirers into conflict with each other, and to destabilize the system of bondage. Martin illuminates the importance of the capitalist market as a tool for analyzing slavery and its extended relationships. Through its fresh and complex perspective, Divided Mastery demonstrates that slave hiring is critical to understanding the fundamental nature of American slavery, and its social, political, and economic place in the Old South.

"This finely crafted, thought-provoking study of slave hiring in the antebellum South fills a major gap in the historical literature. Divided Mastery will be of great interest to students of American slavery."
--Peter Kolchin, author of American Slavery, 1619-1877
"Divided Mastery greatly extends and systematizes our knowledge of slave hiring as a practice making slavery a more economically flexible institution. Martin also writes insightfully about the emotional and psychological complexities attending the interaction of slaves, owners, and hirers. This will be the standard reference for historians interested in slave hiring, and Martin's vigorous prose style should attract a wider readership as well for this fine new book."
--T. Stephen Whitman, author of Challenging Slavery in the Chesapeake, 1775-1865
"Martin has done more than fill an important niche in understanding slavery in the American South; his work adds an appreciation of the complexity of slavery by unraveling--in fine detail--precisely how the system of slave hiring worked. It reveals how the rental of slaves at once expanded and constrained the latitude of both master and slave, at times allowing slaveholders to gain greater flexibility and profit in the employment of their human property and permitting slaves to secure greater independence and control over their own lives. Divided Mastery is a significant addition to the literature on slavery in the US."
--Ira Berlin, author of Generations of Captivity: A History of African-American Slaves

Product: Devil In The Details I (Devil In The Details - The Art of Mastery - A Mentoring Trilogy Book 1)
Description: Volume I - "The Master" "The Slave" "The Power"
The critical theory and philosophies that underpin a consensual master-slave relationship intended to endure. It looks at mastery, slavery and exactly what power is all about in the TPE niche.
Volume II "Mastery Refined: The Skills - The Issues"
Mastery requires more than an understanding of power philosophies, but also knowledge of the skills to identify and address issues incumbent with TPE relationships. Learning them adds enormously to the credibility of aspiring Masters, thus enriching trust, a critical element in sustainable submission. Masters are experts, and these tools are large steps to acquiring that expertise.
Volume III "Sustaining Structure - Training"
Where words become things; ideas become action; and happiness is achieved in the reality of day-to-day life. No theory, philosophy, knowledge of skills, or issues is worth a pinched nipple if it cannot translate into sustainable structure. Theory and talk is over, here is how to apply a Master's values and skills into a consensual relationship with a slave, 24/7, same roof, intended to endure.
A fascinating look into the BDSM culture like never before, The Devil In The Details Trilogy is a whole new perspective on the sustainability of a consensual power exchange relationship in the 21st century.
Tracing his thirty-year journey through the lifestyle, the author clarifies and demystifies mastery like never before, in ways aspiring dominants can learn. It truly is a Masters mentoring series like no other. Even slaves will insist Masters read it.
