Mr M, aka Arthur Masters, has become a familiar character on the international CP scene, outside and beyond the fantasy world of the Club Corporal website and the lascivious writings of the mysterious Annabel Rose. In this book, which is a frank, entertaining and eminently readable account of his lifetime involvement with CP, we learn not only a great many intriguing details about Arthur, but also about CP itself and how it relates to and differs from the more widely known world of BDSM. For those of us who have met the real Arthur, some of whom find ourselves pictured on the pages of his website or woven into the living threads of his fascinating story, he is remembered as a warm and caring Dom with a passion for life, and for the love and adventure that he always so eagerly and sometimes recklessly pursued. The passion and the love are all there in Top Secrets, as is Arthur's intelligent and often self-critical attitude to the situations that he finds himself involved in. His 'secret' life has been a long journey of discovery that spans six decades, a journey which, according to the bitter sweet comments on the final page, still absorbs and fires his spirit in the face of advancing years and declining health. For anyone who is following a similar path, and even for those for whom the 'lifestyle' is still an unexplored and daunting wilderness, it is a rare privilege to be able to travel with him and share his secrets.
