📚 10 Things You Might Not Know About Jennifer Learmont Author of KISS MY BOOTS #blogtour #KissMyBoots #10things

 

 I'm delighted to welcome Jennifer Learmont to the blog today as part of the blog tour for KISS MY BOOTS, her exciting new memoir. 

 

Jennifer Learmont was born in a little town called Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, Australia, but grew up in Sydney, Australia.  She attended a variety of schools since her family moved here and there while she was growing up. Jennifer credits her mother, who was an opera singer, a concert pianist and very educated woman for her education.  “She was my teacher,” remarks the author.  Jennifer Learmont  maintains her home in Australia today.

10 Things You Might Not Know About Author Jennifer Learmont

1. Jennifer made medical history in Australia when she was born.  She is a fraternal twin with a brother, even though her mother had one ovary and both fetuses were in one sack (this usually results in identical twins.)
2. As a suburban child she taught herself to ride a horse bareback.
3. On impulse she and a friend went to America for a three-month visit.  The friend returned, but Jennifer stayed for twenty years.
4. She was once deported by the U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service for use of a friend’s Social Security number.  She soon then returned to the U.S. to marry her then boyfriend.
5. She later married a highly successful cocaine smuggler;  among her adventures with him was a car-chase through South Central L.A.  When he wrote his memoirs Jennifer knew she had to tell her own story in Kiss My Boots.
6. Her dominatrix friends nicknamed her “Pollyanna” because she was so square – she was prudent, punctual, a dawn-riser, a vegetarian, and an exercise nut.
7. On her days off from domination she sang in a gospel choir.  And she still rode horses bareback.
8. She had a pet wolf-dog which she raised herself.
9. She never saw nor felt snow until a boyfriend took her on a ski vacation at Mammoth Mountain, California.
10. Jennifer is today a yoga instructor and a licensed civil wedding celebrant in Australia.  And she is still prudent, punctual, a dawn-riser, a vegetarian, and an exercise nut.

 

 

 

My commitment to eating healthy was only equaled by my desire for cocaine…

Setting out on an adventure to the USA with my best friend, we had no plans, no rules and no limits. It started in the wild 80’s in Hollywood, LA and the spread across the ’90’s, fueled by drugs, sex, rock n roll. We met the people who later became famous actors, musicians, singers. I took some risks, made mistakes and lived through them; I was one of the lucky ones.

For 14 years I worked as a Dominatrix in Hollywood. 

I was a natural and loved the work. My clients included a US General, Top Surgeons, Politicians, High Court Judges and VIPs. There is a grey side to my work, and no one really knows what goes on behind the dungeon doors.

I married a charming, captivating Italian/American criminal and lived a dangerous life, involved in crime, drugs and crazy choices where I almost lost my life. My turning point came the day I walked into the Sanctuary of an Interdenominational Church. I loved it so much I joined the gospel choir and took up yoga. 

Now I was a dominatrix, yoga student singing in a gospel choir. 

Eventually, and exhausted, I returned to Australia permanently to set up my own yoga studio and started to build a new life away from a blurred past. I was a wild and fearless child with a kind compassionate heart and a determination to live my life to the full, regardless of any cost. 

“A spectacular life journey of a woman filled by verve and passion for life and who found her place far from where she thought it was going to be…sensitively written and thoughtful reflection of an explorative youth…wonderful…” Tara, Indiebooks reviewer
