I’m done writing on non-Mac keyboards
A lot has gone on in my life over the last year. Unfortunately, writing hasn’t been a huge part of it lately. I’m officially divorced. My cheating ex-wife has been my ex for a bit over two months now, and it’s a good feeling. As an erotica author, I can’t stand on a high horse…

On Fiction4All’s fascinating failed experiment in pulling erotica – and their perfect response to it
I signed up with Fiction4All as another distribution source for my stories back in April, and have been happy to get a few sales from them. They have a few domains which sound kind of “adult”, and then Fiction4All, which has a mix of everything. A few weeks ago, they sent me an email stating,…

HR Giger has passed away, age 74
According to this article, HR Giger just passed away. One may wonder what an erotica author is doing making a tribute post to the man, but his work was central to the visual styling of “Alien” and “Species”. Aside from my watching the Alien series a lot as a kid and young adult, his later…

A scene from “Merlin’s Safeguard”
I was glancing through my files as I was writing today, and the following segment jumped out at me and demanded to be shared. It’s from a story which takes place just before “Merlin’s Magic Wang”. Yes, I promise I’m mostly working on Progenitor 3 right now! The Problem, Presented I was having a spectacularly…

Two online bookstores closing up shop this month, and free story updates
Two online bookstores are closing up this shop – Sony and Diesel. It’s a pity to see them go, because as Smashwords partners they didn’t cost any extra effort to distribute to. Diesel only ever made me $5.40 over the 1.5 or so years I’ve been an author, and Sony made me $23.40, but dammit…
