Having no time to write, sucks
Ever have one of those days that just sucks? And then think back and realize that it wasn’t just a day, but it was like four or five days which all blended together? Work late, edit for an hour, sleep less than 8 hours, go back to work, work late, go help your buddy at…

Ken Haramiru’s stories finally available in the Apple store!
iTunes now has eBooks by Ken Haramiru The difficulty of getting Apple to accept your Smashwords titles into the iTunes bookstore is a pretty commonly lamented thing among erotica authors. The central issue is that if they reject it, you never actually know until you ask Smashwords about it a month or two later. Even…

Strange “ghost sales” on Amazon
So, as regular readers may know, I’ve written software which checks all of my titles for salesrank on a daily basis, and lets me know when it goes up. Typically, this means that there’s been a sale within the past few hours. The interesting thing is that over the past few days, I’ve seen several…

Cupid’s Armorer is no longer Amazon-exclusive!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say again: I don’t like permanent exclusives. The three-month KDP exclusivity agreement on Cupid’s Armorer is now over, which means it’s now been released on Smashwords and All Romance Ebooks. It’ll eventually be on Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc as well. I’ve got an excerpt from it below, if…

Improved cover for “Cum In Me If You Want To Live”
I managed to find an appropriate free font over on dafont.com, and I added a gradient fill background. Also used levels on her skin to darken and improve contrast, which left the layer with the red glow in her eyes really visible. Then I used a drop shadow around her body to take care of some…

“She Only Wore a Shirt to the Funeral” FREE on Amazon now!
“She Only Wore a Shirt to the Funeral” is finally FREE on Amazon.com! I don’t know whether it was the repeated price match requests which I and others have submitted, or my email to Amazon two weeks after we’d started requesting the price matches, but this story is now free on Amazon as I’d always…

“She Only Wore a Shirt to the Funeral” coming to Amazon (eventually free)
I had a discussion today with KDP Support, because I was under the impression that you’re not permitted to submit stories which are available elsewhere for free on Amazon. My understanding was that books which later become free are ok, but that books which have always been free aren’t. It turns out that this is…

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…
