Month: January 2013

  • End-of-month reminder for Kindle owners

    Just a reminder, folks: If you have Amazon Prime, you can “borrow” one eBook a month from the Amazon Kindle Lending Library.  Your ‘borrow’ for any given month is lost if you don’t use it before the 1st of the next month, and this is about to be February.  So, if you haven’t used your borrow…

  • Movement towards Progenitor 2 extended edition

    I don’t know why, but I find it easiest to write to Tchaikovsky.  Just seems appropriate. At any rate, I’m presently revisiting the Progenitor universe to expand out Progenitor 2 to the point where I consider it worthy to be released as an eBook.  I expect that it will end up being around 25k-30k words…

  • Versatile Blogger Award

    Looks like I’ve been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award, by the lovely evaklaess.  For those who don’t know, it’s one of those awards where nomination = awarding, so now I need to type out a few things before passing the hot potato onto another blogger whom I follow.  Oh, the games we play in…

  • Analyzing Successful Writers: Twitter

    I just got back to town this weekend, and decided to do a little bit more “erotica writer 101” centric research.  Today was an exercise in looking at the more successful authors that I track on Novelrank, and seeing what they do for publicity. What stood out to me was that nearly 100% of them…

  • “Winning the Genetic Lottery” published on Smashwords and Amazon!

    So, I’ve finished my latest eBook, “Winning the Genetic Lottery”.  It certainly wound up longer than I expected!  Back in December, I thought it was just going to be a quick concept short-story, but I wound up writing 34k words on it before I could really say that I’d explored the story arc as well…

  • Erotica Author Community

    Something I’ve been thinking about for a while now, is that there’s not a whole lot of places for erotic authors to chit-chat and share info on what works and what doesn’t.  Not so much on writing, but on marketing, dealing with publishers, cover designers, etc. To that end, I’ve created a Facebook group for…

  • Beethoven wrote Eroica!

    Seriously, he did.  He wrote the Eroica Symphony, also known as his third symphony, which I’m listening to right now as I take a break from writing erotica (with a t, mind you).  Apparently it’s named because Eroica is Italian for “heroic”.  I choose to entertain myself with the thoughts of setting intercourse to it,…

  • Hit ctrl-b and keep typing!

    My regulars here know that I tend to write about three things: erotica, statistics, and writing itself.  Lately, I’ve been deficient in that third category, and I wanted to share something which I’ve been trying to get better at lately. You know how you get blocked on stuff?  Forget it; as this insightful essay points…

  • Title chosen: “Winning the Genetic Lottery”, and an excerpt

    Sadly, I haven’t gotten anything noteworthy accomplished the last few days.  While I did really want to get my first story-focused erotica novel out the door sooner than this, I have to confess that my non-writing life has demanded my attention of late.  But I’ve gotten a bit more done on “Winning the Genetic Lottery”,…
