Where Do I Get My Inspiration From?
It's been a great week! When deciding the price of S&M, I took in account several factors: 1) story length, 2) story quality, and 3) maximum exposure. It wasn't an automatic, 'Hey, let's price this at 99 cents!' I had to really think about it. Ultimately, with the help of my manager (Maks), we agreed [...]

Look, ma, I'm famous!
Or at least I'm getting there… I once read somewhere (I'm assuming one of the gazillion writing/self-publishing/industry blogs I follow) that writing is the easy part. It's when you start promoting and networking it gets, well, interesting. No kidding! One of my writer friends told me she spent a minimum of 16 hours daily [...]

You know I had a nice and pretty blog post all typed up...
And somehow a computer ate it. Specifically one of the computers I use at work. I don't know what happened to it. I'm so distressed *sad panda face*
No, not really. But it's fun to be dramatic for the sake of being dramatic.
So, the first week sales of S&M are doing pretty well. In fact, the first week sales of S&M are much higher than The Erotic Intoxication. Maybe it's the price? Or my relentless promotion nonstop? Or maybe you just like reading what I have to write? Any or all of the above, it's worked in my favor. I thank you.
I am working on a title to be released next month. To those who are on my Facebook page or follow me on twitter, this is the 'big' announcement. Since I just released S&M almost a week ago and June is ending in a little over two weeks, I have my work cut out for me. What's the title? Not sure yet. Is it a follow-up to S&M? That I can definitely tell you 'not yet.' (Take that for what it's worth.)
This next title, I'm going back to my roots - romance. As I perfect my writing more, I'm going back to storytelling. I like writing erotica but I love writing romance more. Maybe it's erotic romance? Who knows? All I do know is that I enjoy it very much. I hope you will too.

Sex and the Married Woman: BDSM R Us, Pt. II…Oh, Ms. Nikki Nefarious…
When I last left you, we were talking about our first experience at Everything To Do With Sex show in Los Angeles. (For a recap, please click here). We had an interesting lesson on sensory deprivation and the big effect it has on the BDSM lifestyle; now let's talk about rope-tying. Bondage, mainly rope-tying, has [...]

Vera Commentary: Men Can Get Stupid on Pussy, Too.
The one perk about being married is people tend to look at you as an expert on relationships. I don't know why; I'm still considered to be a newlywed. Marriage doesn't make me an expert; I just lucked out and found the right one before any more bitches can fuck him. Nevertheless, I have many [...]

S&M Extended Sneak Peek
S&M (Scott & Mariana) should be available tomorrow (or today if you're reading this on Wednesday) on both amazon.com and smashwords.com. It'll be available soon via Apple and Sony. But for now, here's an extended sneak peek of the story: Even though Mariana expected to get some sleep, she didn't think she'll get none. [...]

Some call me a workaholic...maybe that's not entirely false.
I have a goal this year on how many titles I want to put out. I'm not saying the number for fear you, the reader, might expect me to hit that number and me, the author, will fail to live up to expectations.
The number is doable. I just need to buckle down and get to it.
The great news is that not all of the stories are of the erotica nature. I do love to write erotica but it's not my main thing. I'm more into romance and storytelling. I like a romance title that just happens to have some really good sexually explicit scenes in them. Boy meets Girl, Boy fucks Girl, Boy gets off and Girl wonders what the hell just happened here because she could've had a V-8 is so played out.
You want emotion and intensity. You want passion, you want the visualization, you want the 'will they or won't they and if they do, how will they?' type of story. If you just wanted to get your jollies off, you wouldn't be reading any of my titles. Well, maybe you would.
S&M will be on sale this week. An announcement will be made when it finally goes on sale. I've decided on a price. I'm not telling you; you'll just see it. It's affordable. In fact, it's like a song on iTunes affordable. Well, maybe.
And there you have it,
