It’s another re-release of a classic ATR story collection – this time packed with stories of enslaved lesbians and orientation kink! And once again, it’s got so much new content that it’s practically a new book!
(Click here to view Sappho’s Collar in the ATR store.)
This release continues a series of ATR story collections (including The Milk Industry (link) and She’s Got The Look (link)) which in their original incarnations contained a lot of material which was duplicated from other collections.
In re-releasing them, I’ve been keen to remove the majority of that duplicated material and replace it with new, unique content that doesn’t appear in any other book.
In the case of Sappho’s Collar, I had the added problem that the original version was at least 1,000 words shorter than the 20,000 word target I aim at for books at the $4.99 price point.
The result is that I’ve removed three duplicated stories and added nine brand-new ones – nearly 5,000 words of new content.
These join the existing lead novella Letting Her Parents Pay and other stories to create a better, more unique and more satisfying version of Sappho’s Collar.
Let’s break down the changes in this edition.
The following stories have been removed due to duplication:
- Balance of Sin (1039 words) – This story still appears in both Girl on Girl and Harlot’s Hymn.
- Crystal’s Revenge (1449 words) – This story still appears in Girl on Girl.
- Friendship and Betrayal (1254 words) – This story still appears in The Popular Girls.
To replace those, the following new stories have been added:
- A Cure For Maya (213 words)
- A Good Lesbian (344 words)
- AirBNB (211 words)
- Bridal Photographer (1171 words)
- Carter’s Terms (379 words)
- Competing Lesbians (134 words)
- Esther’s Lesbian Cure (219 words)
- Self-Disciplining Lesbians (1757 words)
- Subverted Lesbian (443 words)
And that’s in addition to the stories retained from the previous edition, including the novella Letting Her Parents Pay.
In addition, this edition of Sappho’s Collar has the following improvements:
- New cover in line with my other recent releases.
- Reworked bonus material – The bonus “testimonials” content has been redesigned with new art, with the additional bonus that it now also appears in the EPUB version, and can now be offered to Smashwords readers in an identical form to the version available on my main site.
- Improved EPUB edition for greater readability and convenience.
- Typos and readability fixes throughout.

Readers who have previously purchased Sappho’s Collar from AllTheseRoadworks.com can download the new edition for free using their existing download links.
The Collector’s Bundle #2 has not yet been updated with the new edition. It is expected that this update will happen after the books “Intrusive Thoughts” and “The Taming of the Brat” have received new editions.
Current paid ATR members will find a free copy of the new edition of Sappho’s Collar in Dropbox.
The new edition should also appear on Smashwords within the next week.

This is basically a new book, so if you haven’t already purchased Sappho’s Collar then now is absolutely the time to do so!
