I Think My Illustrator is Tired of Me...

I think my illustrator, Jotham, is tired of me bugging him for covers. He's sent me the next few covers for Delilah already, and he says he's hard at work on the last remaining ones for the first six of that series.

Just wait until I start bugging him for Villainess and Janus Key Chronicles covers, as both of those take a LOT of photomanipulation... not just adding flames and the framework to a silhouette (and cleaning up the edges--he still does a lot of work on the so-called "simple" covers)...

Mindy Book Snitch Reviews The Devil and Delilah! (And, uhm, some other thoughts....)

Yes, this is exclamation point worthy!

I also have two books to review myself, so hopefully I shall get those in a couple of days here. I simply must continue writing... because I'm excited to continue Delilah's adventure and Caprice's as well! However, Rock has been waiting patiently in the wings (*pats* Poor secret agent, we're working on it!), and Dirk and Debbie have their adventures to continue as well... not to mention Selena from Back End is tapping her foot at me.

*points above* All of...

The Devil and Delilah is Live on Amazon!

A few months in conceptualizing and writing, The Devil and Delilah is now live on Amazon! I've always had a thing for the Weird West. It's probably one of my favorite genres, and the Weird West is to America what steampunk is to England. A twist on history, a weird what-might-have-been, it's a genre filled with magic, monsters, and gunslingers. If you like Stephen King's Dark Tower series, then you like the Weird West.

The cover looks awesome as always! I love Jotham's covers, and it conveys e...

Awakening (Sorceress of Desire Book 1) Review

Dat ass!It's been a while since I've done a review. Now, I've done a couple reviews on my RL account, so it's not like I haven't been reading... I just haven't been reading things as Alana. (Boy, it can be
exhausting sometimes having an alter ego. It's like being Batman, but way less cool.) However, today I'm back and we are looking at Awakening, Sorceress of Desire Book 1 today by Aaron Abson.

I don't remember exactly how I came across this book. I think it was from an author post on the eroti...

Knob Jobs and Broomsticks Live on Amazon!

My poor blog, how I forget you! But yes, Knob Jobs and Broomsticks is now live on Amazon... and it has a review! We likes reviews, precious. It's not a bad review, nor a good one. Like literally middle of the road. I'll take it.

How this review came to be was interesting. Tooling around on Facebook while chit-chatting one morning at work, someone approached me about reviewing it. I was like, "Hey, sure." So, I sent Nessa a copy and told 'em to be honest. They were like, "You sure, bro?" and I...

Size Matters

It's been a while since I've written, and I can honestly say I've had no new insights into writing smut until two days ago. I just finished the first draft and edit of "The Devil and Delilah", which is going to start yet another series of mine (really, brain, you have to keep giving me ideas? Can't you let me finish a series first?), and a writer friend of mine looked it over. I was pleased to see that most of the corrections weren't of the 'your eye is dumb and glossed over that' variety, sa...

Dominating Her Men: Total Domination vol. 3 is Now Live on Amazon!

Yes, just a bundle this week, but as Dominating Her Vampire has slipped out of KU, this is a chance to read it without having to buy it, if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Dominating Her Men: Total Domination vol 3 is live on Amazon!

Working hard on finishing up The Devil and Delilah, and then I will be making edits on Knob Jobs and Broomsticks. Look for that coming soon!

Dominating Her Billionaire is now Live on Amazon!

That's right, the final installment of the Dominating Her Man series, Dominating Her Billionaire, is now live on Amazon. I am ending the series as my interest in contemporary erotica has waned. I want to write weirder stuff, things that interest me more, and I would really hate to have a slip in quality due to my waning interest.

That being said, I think it's entirely appropriate that it ends on "Billionaire" as we started with "Intern". :)

Sexy Excerpt from the Upcoming Knob Jobs & Broomsticks

Hidey ho, neighborinos!

I'm done with the femdom series (and the post about the new one will be forthcoming here), and in honor of Halloween, I am going to switch things up and write some paranormal tales, kicking off a couple of new series. Because I don't have enough already. Nope.

This story is called "Knob Jobs and Broomsticks" and will be the first of the "Witches of Back End" series. With that, please enjoy. It's a short excerpt, but one I really liked. :)

Howling Passion Review

Hot chicks, hot dudes, hot wolves.
What more do you want?We're back again with Renee Jordan, who contacted me after the first review and said, yeah, it was her first book and would I give something she wrote later on a try. I was like, "Hell yeah!" because I love reading. Even when it's bad, it's good. Reading is fundamental, folks.

Today I'm reviewing Howling Passion, which is the first of the Passion Moon series. The very first
thing I want to say is... the cover is much, MUCH improved from t...
