  • 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”,…

  • Vote for the new title of ‘Winning the Genetic Lottery’… and, a preview for your time!

    This (both picture and the text below) is a draft preview of “Winning the Genetic Lottery” (working title).  It’s presently 16k words long, and I think it’ll end up between 24k-30k.  It’s the first thing I’ve written with Scrivener, and I honestly think it’s going to make my job considerably easier.  I’m trying to decide…

  • Experiment with “Cupid’s Armorer”

    This post is pretty much just for the writers out there, as they’re always interested in statistics and what works and what doesn’t.  Please bear in mind that this post isn’t to whine about sales, but rather to share with other authors what approaches I’m trying in order to get a title to sell.  It’s…

  • What to do and what not to do as an erotica writer

    In one bit of news, my eBooks have started selling again today.  I’m starting to really think that “how bored do I expect to be tomorrow?” is the big seller for erotica. I should preface the next bit with an explanation of how I see “competition” amongst my fellow authors, one which I adopted upon reading a…

  • An interesting inflection point in stats

    Fair warning for those looking forward to some erotica related updates… this post is for the writers out there, and this post will be pretty dry and statistics-oriented.  I’ll forgive you for skipping this one over entirely. I’ve done some studying of sales statistics lately.  Specifically, I was trying to figure out why today I’ve…

  • Winning the Genetic Lottery

    So, this is what happens when I decide that I should get back to my roots with a breeding-oriented short story.  This is from my latest bit, “Winning the Genetic Lottery”.  It doesn’t have any supernatural, science fiction, or other elements.  It does however feature a man so rich he may as well be a…

  • Statistical experiment underway

    So, other authors will find it interesting that my two-day experiment with making Cupid’s Armorer free, resulted in 132 downloads from the US and a handful of downloads from other countries.  Most interesting is that I had around 98 downloads the first day. then 34 downloads the second. Sales of my other titles didn’t really…

  • Cupid’s Armorer COMPLETE!

    Cupid’s Armorer, my third eBook, is now complete!  Or should I say, it’s in draft status and has already been sent off for a second opinion from a fellow author.  Once I hear back, I may make some minor changes and then publish it on Monday.  This will be a Kindle Select piece, but if…

  • Cupid’s Armorer

    Surprise, I started another project!  This one got into my head and just wouldn’t get out, so I’m getting it finished and out of here. The good news is that this project isn’t going to be a long one, and it should be published by the end of the weekend.  It’s a completely original story,…

  • 45k words on my latest project

    My ‘other project’ is now 45k words in length, which places it at around 150 Baen Books size paperback pages, or around 112 Kindle pages long.  That places it as the longest thing I’ve ever written, and it’s gotten to the point now where it’s been mostly (traditional) action for a while now.  Every now…
