  • 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…

  • 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…

  • “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,…

  • 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…
