  • Progress on the sequel to “She Only Wore a Shirt to the Funeral”

    Lately, I’ve been writing lately on the sequel to “She Only Wore a Shirt to the Funeral” , (which happens to be free on Smashwords) and I’m trying out a few new techniques along the way.  I’ve recently discovered that voice recorders really help me write erotica.  The other day, I saw a gorgeous young college girl…

  • Mostly for authors today…

    I have many different things to write about tonight. First, Disturbed is good music to listen to while doing your publicity stuff. Second, if you’re an author, you NEED to go see if you’re on http://www.manicreaders.com/.  I happened to see it when searching for my name, and it seems that they created a skeleton author page…

  • Winning the Genetic Lottery 2 (working title)

    In “Winning the Genetic Lottery”, When Jim bought his multi-million dollar breeding mansion in a rural county with a low population, no one minded too much.  He paid his taxes, contributed to the local economy, and was a bit of a philanthropist. But when he decided to build a subdivision near his mansion so that…

  • New Cupid’s Armorer cover

    And so, my experiment in designing effective cover art for Cupid’s Armorer continues.  I’m using this title as a test; I’m trying to find a cover which gets people to take a look at it. The original covers (the second of which is the image on the right) were black and white, featuring a cute…

  • An excerpt from Progenitor 2’s extended edition!

    So, just to reassure my readers that I haven’t forgotten about the Progenitor series, here’s an excerpt from Progenitor 2.  If you’ve read the free edition of Progenitor 1, but haven’t read the extended edition… well, they’re designed so that the plot still makes sense, but the extended edition has so much additional content that…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
