June 2023 Blog Status
Not a lot of writing/promoting activity again, so blog hits dropped even further, to the lowest level in more than a year.
Maybe the Smashwords sale this month will help (see here), but I’ve got to promote that, too. And my real life job (no, I’m not telling you what it is) is going to be busy in July, too. So, we’ll see what we see.

May 2023 Blog Status
Yes, this monthly status is delayed again. Sorry. Just busy doing other things. And that’s the main cause of a big drop in hits in May, more than 50% from April and the lowest in five months.

April 2023 Blog Status
Late posting of this, again, Sorry. Slight decline from March’s numbers, but that still places April above any other month in the site’s stats. Just one sale from the shop all month, though.

March 2023 Blog Status
Measured in terms of hits to the site, this was a HUGE jump for March, 70% above February’s numbers and an all-new high (at least among the stats since launching the leenyspress.com domain)!
Now, if only sales would match that activity…

#MyReads: Erotic Urban Legends: Taboo, by Alexa Nichols
Alexa has been on my list of want-to-read authors for quite a while and I’ve finally gotten around to purchasing one of her books.

Launching a “7th Writer-versary Sale!”
My very first erotica story (“A Dream for Papa”) was posted to Literotica on March 13, 2016. Ever since, I’ve counted that as the start of my writing “career”, even though I didn’t launch the “M.R. Leenysman” pseudonym until later that year (based on my Literotica login, which is leenysman, standing for “Leeny’s Man”).
So, this March 13th marks my 7th anniversary of doing this — my writer-versary, if you will. So, how am I going to observe it? By having a 50% OFF sale at my store here at Leeny’s Press for the whole week — March 13-19!!
Unlike sales at Smashwords which I’ve promoted in the past, this even includes my $0.99 books, marked down to just $0.49!! (Smashwords maintains a minimum of $0.99, even during sales, and marking books down to $0 doesn’t benefit me much)
However, so that credit card processing fees don’t eat up a bunch of small transactions, I am establishing a minimum total purchase amount of $1.45 (should let you buy THREE $0.49 books, if you choose that combo). I’m likely to keep that minimum in place after the sale.
Anyway, if you’ve been on the fence about trying one of my books, this would be the time to buy, don’t you think?

February 2023 Blog Status
Yeah, I know I’m kinda late in reporting this. Life’s been a bit chaotic lately.
The good news is that blog traffic rose again, to the second-highest level in the last 12 months, exceeded only by July 2022. No new releases during the month, as I’m still working on Book 8 of the current series, currently titled “Homecummings.” Trying to figure out whether this is the ending of the series or not, etc. Hopefully I get it straightened out soon.

#MyReads: Victorious, by CJ Douglass (Overcranked, Book 4)
I’ve read and enjoyed the first three books in this series, but had not gotten a good opportunity to pick up the finale to the series. Now I have.
