ANNOUNCING Futa Explosion: Four Hot Futa Stories

The Three-F Networking team has come together once again, welcoming some new friends to the group along the way, as we switch gears from this time from Femdom to Futa.

Following up on Lipstick For Her Leather, our second anthology - Futa Explosion: Four Hot Futa Stories - is now available as a free download from Smashwords, with an Amazon edition available as well.

This was such a fun anthology to put together, and I am delighted that Solar Harris and Reed James were able to join Lyka Bloom and myself this time around. I think I speak for us all when I say we were absolutely delighted to be a part of such a project.

We hope you enjoy it, and we ask that you please help spread the word. If you are so inclined, a review or a rating would be fantastic, and bios and links are included in the anthology, so we invite you to follow us all on social media!

ANNOUNCING Futa Explosion: Four Hot Futa Stories

As I am sure many of you recall, it was back in March that Jessie Ash and I first began discussing ideas for better self/cross promotion within the erotica community, giving birth to the Three-F Networking discussion group over on Goodreads.

It was Kella Z. Driel who first raised the suggestion of a free anthology, kicking the group conversation into high gear, and ultimately leading to the publication of our first anthology, Lipstick For Her Leather  - available as a free download from the Wordwooze Publishing website as well as from Amazon.

Well, the team has come together once again, welcoming some new friends to the group along the way as we switched gears from Femdom to Futa.

On that note, I am delighted to announce that our second anthology,  Futa Explosion: Four Hot Futa Stories , is now available as a free download from Smashwords, with an Amazon edition available as well.

Four of the finest, kinkiest authors in futa fiction join forces to bring the reader a quartet of steamy tales! 

In the first, Nora, Solar Harris presents a date with a very different kind of partner. 

Next, Reed James takes us to a world of futa fandom and eldritch shops where true pleasure is only a sip away in The Succubus Cafe.

Sally Bend broadens the fantasy in A Queer Sort of Queen into an alternate timeline where a reclusive island of futanari entertain political guests and servitude often means salacious joy.

And, Lyka Bloom presents Gimme an F!, where the local cheerleading squad becomes ground zero for a very sexy invasion.

This was such a fun anthology to put together, and I am delighted that Solar and Reed were able to join us. I think I speak for us all when I say we were absolutely delighted to be a part of such a project.

We hope you enjoy it, and we ask that you please help spread the word. If you are so inclined, a review or a rating on our Goodreads page would be fantastic, and bios and links are included in the anthology, so we invite you to follow us all on social media!

As for what's next, all I can tell you is that the theme will be Feminization, and we are giving ourselves enough time to make sure the entire team can take part and close out the Three-F trilogy with something truly extraordinary!© 2018 Bending the Bookshelf All Rights Reserved

Insecure Writer’s Support Group (Aug)

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. On this day we post about our thoughts, our doubts, and the fears we have conquered. We discuss our struggles and triumphs, and offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling.

Every post opens with a question (a blogging prompt, if you will), and this month's is: What are your pet peeves when reading/writing/editing?

There are lots of little things that will bother me in a story, but the worst is glaring errors and typos that any half-decent spellcheck software would catch. Even if you can't afford an editor, and don't have a friend you can trust with a beta read, there is no excuse not make use of the tools available.

A lot of writing this month, with no fewer than three stories started, but nothing wrapped up and ready to publish. The follow-up to our first anthology is done, and should be published soon, so I will likely get one of those three stories done and published to take advantage.© 2018 Bending the Bookshelf All Rights Reserved

Insecure Writer’s Support Group (July)

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. On this day we post about our thoughts, our doubts, and the fears we have conquered. We discuss our struggles and triumphs, and offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling.

Every post opens with a question (a blogging prompt, if you will), and this month's is: What is one valuable lesson you've learned since you started writing?

Can you really distill the experience of writing down to just one lesson learned? I learn something new with each draft, each publication, each review, and each discussion with other authors. Some lessons are bigger than others, but they all help me improve. I guess the biggest one (lately, at least) would be to keep the focus on the characters, and build up their personality layers to drive the story.

I did not get a lot of writing done last month - packing and moving kind of dominated my time - but we set a theme and deadline for the follow-up to our first anthology, and I am starting to accumulate some reviews, which is very encouraging!© 2018 Bending the Bookshelf All Rights Reserved

Insecure Writer’s Support Group (June)

The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. On this day we post about our thoughts, our doubts, and the fears we have conquered. We discuss our struggles and triumphs, and offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling.

Every post opens with a question (a blogging prompt, if you will), and this month's is: Did you ever say “I quit”? If so, what happened to make you come back to writing?

While I have never quit writing, I have taken prolonged breaks to explore different styles, mediums, and genres. Even when things are going well, I think we all need variety to keep us engaged, and writing other things (especially where you have challenged yourself) can help to refine your craft. Even when I was at my most discouraged, with my novel receiving one rejection letter after another, I was always writing something else.

Last month was absolutely fantastic for me, with the release of an anthology that I was delighted to be a part of, and the pre-order release of my kinky pulp adventure tale, which marks a bit step forward for me as I opened myself up to some beta-readers and relinquished a little creative control to a professional cover artist. Both were great experiences, and they are motivating me to tackle the rewrite of my novel for submission to a few markets that I think (hope?) will respond favorably.© 2018 Bending the Bookshelf All Rights Reserved

Futanari Moans is coming!

Woohoo! Clocking in at just over 10k words, the 2nd draft of Futanari Moans and the Mummy's Hand (Job) is complete!

To whet your appetite, here's a sneak peek at the cover blurb:

Futanari Moans, amateur archaeologist and professional tomb raider, has unearthed her share of ancient treasures. With her only weapon the swollen, dripping appendage strapped to her thigh, Moans journeys across the Middle East, dodging traps, scarabs, and undead creatures, while battling foes from home and abroad.

All in pursuit of a forbidden relic that will unlock the key to her futanari transformation, and give her the power to reclaim a future denied her by one government’s shocking betrayal. It's a frantic scramble to an explosive climax, a deliciously messy finish dictated by the magic of the Mummy’s Hand

I can honestly say I have never had so much fun writing a story. It's a cheesy pulp adventure, with over-the-top futa fun, precisely as I intended.

If any kinky souls out there are interested in doing a quick beta read, feel free to pop me a message.

The Cover Reveal will be coming this week!
