Queen of Swords Review!

I was absolutely thrilled to get this review, which I will repost here, for Queen of Swords. Of course, since this is my blog I'm allowed to squee and crow just a bit. :) Check it out!

As a big fan of urban adult/erotic fantasy, it's oftentimes difficult to find a story that can mesh a great story with the erotic. The Queen of Swords does that very, very well. It has an interesting plot, compelling characters, an ACTUAL storyline, and great sex. The story is rather dark but I like that. There...

No, No, 'Zombie Tree Gangbang 17' is Really Action Adventure! Really!

On the eroticaauthor subreddit over the past couple of days, there's been a lot of arguing about a black hat tactic which touches on my stuff (more on that later): categorizing erotica as something other than erotica. Do NOT get me wrong: It IS a black hat tactic, hands down, although you can find sexy stuff in other categories. Let's start from the beginning.

When people write, they both want to create something and make money. Usually the latter, to be honest. For me, it's mostly the former...

Donut Slut!: Ariana's Cream-Filled Magical Sex Adventure Review

How could you not love Pussy
Donut? Pussy Donut is
disappointed in your ass.It's a two-fer today! As in you're getting two reviews, both books by Bryce. He's such a great guy, and he writes some weird shit. Case in point: Donut Slut!

I guess this was based off of Ariana Grande like licking some donuts or something, which I missed because I'm a social and internet hermit, but he wrote it quickly, and put it out there... where it got adult-filtered. That made me sad, because this book was funny as...

Angel's Kiss Review

Alright, so I promised reviews, and you'll get them! But we're going to start by reposting reviews I've already
Plus, his covers are so pretty too. I know he
has a graphic design background, and it
shows!done on Goodreads. Yeah, a bit boring, I know, but I have been busy writing and not reading lately! I can't exactly review my own books. :P

This one is Angel's Kiss by Bryce Calderwood. What I wrote on Goodreads was this:

"While futa girls are not my kink, the sex Bryce writes is really hot. Howe...

Villainess #1: Queen of Swords Live on Amazon!

Wow, do I suck at self-promotion or what? So excited was I about the cover, I posted about that, but forgot to post when the book was actually live! So, for those few who read this, Queen of Swords is live on Amazon right now!

It actually came in at just shy of 27K words, and I did a weird thing here, although it makes sense. Yes, there is sex in the book, and some of it is really hot. However... it's actually... plot driven. As in it's all about the plot. I sat down and thought about it long...

Payback Isn't Always a Bitch

I suck at tweeting.

I mean, I really suck at social media in general. People can be weird and scary. You can meet some good peeps (I met my husband over the internet! I ordered him from Amazon. :P), and you can meet some bad peeps. So, when it comes to Twitter and Facebook and suchlike, I'm really bad at like... you know... returning the favor. I don't do bite sized info very well because I'm very verbose even when I'm not trying to be. Keeping things inside 144 characters is a lot to ask!

Howe...

Queen of Swords Cover!

Yes, I'm really excited about this... sue me. :)

So, my graphic designer took my "Uh, it's kinda about this, and she wears a mask and here's the title...and a picture..." and made a brilliantly beautiful cover from my stumbling words. The cover for the newly finished (and getting edited) Queen of Swords, Villainess #1 book is here!


I have to squee. It's so beautiful. It just is! I know it doesn't necessarily read "erotica" but I don't give a fuck. I march to the beat of some... other drummer, a...

Mutual Masturbation

I always seem to follow up a book with a blog post. ... I have no idea why. I think it's because I'm excited that yay there's a new book! And then thinking, "Oh, jeez, back to the grind!" Although this next one is going to be a new Janus Key Chronicle, so it won't be a grind at all. I actually have spent enough time doing other things that this next Debbie story is already written in my head. I know what's going on, I know what happens, cover's almost made (thanks to Jotham!) and it should ro...

Fox Tales: Erotic Tales of the Kitsune is Now Live on Amazon!

Ah, yes, this book has taken forever. And forever. And more evers. IT HAS TAKEN ALL THE EVERS! However, I seem to remember the first in this series, 1001 Erotic Nights, being the same way and taking a long time to write. Maybe it's because of the voice I use for it, keeping it in a particular style, or maybe it was because so many fox wife tales are very similar... it doesn't matter. Fox Tales: Erotic Tales of the Kitsune is now live on Amazon! I am so happy that it's going live on Friday, an...

Wantonly Wicked Threeway is Live on Amazon!

The newest bundle of mine, combining the three horrorotica stories I wrote, Wantonly Wicked Threeway is now Live on Amazon! This was actually an accident--I meant to just have the stuff in there, and publish a couple days later here, but I am so used going through the process that I went and hit 'publish' when I didn't mean to... ah well.

Just love the bundle cover by Jotham. He does such good work. IT'S SO PRETTY!
