Free Reads as Promo
Hello Fellow Writers!
Today I'm at the group blog I belong to, Flirty Author Bitches, talking about the use of free reads as a promotional tool for authors.
I also give all the details about how I self-published my own free read, Overheated, as a way to say thank you to my readership.
Please come by and check it out!

Writing Sex Scenes
Hello Fellow Writers!
Today I'm on Romance Books R Us, blogging about the difference between an erotica sex scene and a steamy (but mainstream) sex scene. Please come by and leave a comment!

What inspired my latest Ellora's Cave novella?
Hello Fellow Writers!
I was thrilled when Diana from The Forbidden Bookshelf emailed to let me know she'd enjoyed my book Chastity Belt! Even better, she asked me to guest post on her blog about the whole tease-and-denial fetish that inspired the book. She'd posted a lovely review of Chastity Belt (read it here) and her blog is great, so how could I resist?
Come check out my guest post today on The Forbidden Bookshelf, and please leave a comment as I'll be checking in through out the day! Thanks!

Outline, Shmoutline
Hello Fellow Writers!
So my big challenge this month, for those of you haven't heard, is called May 50K. I'm writing a 50K word novel this month, ala NaNoWriMo. Anyone is welcome to join in the fun - visit me at the blog I set up just for this challenge at http://may50k.blogspot.com.
I have a blurb and basic synopsis prepared that I'm sticking to for this story, since I know the elements in it appeal to a certain someone I'm hoping to sell the book to. But the outline I (attempted to) write for the book is hard to follow for me. I hate outlines. Things that work in an outline end up not working in the manuscript.
Recently my outline called for the heroine to fire the nanny. But the nanny was kinda cool and made a good case for herself, so she got to keep her job, in this draft anyway. And that's where the outline started to annoy me more than help me.
The writing is going great though. I'm 17K into this 50K word manuscript.
How about you? Do you use an outline to write, do you "pants" it, or do you do some mixture of the two like me?

My "amazeballs novella" :)
Today I'm on author Charlotte Stein's blog today! Please stop by and say hi :)
This is how she started the blog post, LOL:
"So today my blog is going to be graced with the illustrious presence of Shoshanna Evers, who wrote the amazeballs novella, Ginger Snap. Which is about ginger figging. Yep - you heard that right. IT'S ABOUT GINGER FIGGING.
And if you don't know what that is, look it up, look it up NAO. Also: I love her."

Hello Fellow Writers!
I've started another blog so we can write 50K words in the month of May and keep each other accountable.

So please stop by http://May50k.blogspot.com/ and join in the fun!

Yay! My new book Chastity Belt is out now!
My new Ellora's Cave BDSM erotic romance Chastity Belt is available now!
Here's the blurb:
Georgia Hearn has found the perfect way to make easy cash—performing an interactive BDSM-flavored stage show at the exclusive Gentlemen's Club.
When handsome GC client Jonathan Syler goes up on stage and locks her into a chastity belt, it's all supposed to be part of the fun. But Jonathan makes it clear he won't be unlocking her anytime soon.
Now she's at his mercy—and has no choice but to see him again, since he holds the key to her pleasure. Literally.
Reader's Advisory: This book contains a hot girl-on-girl tease and denial scene and some F/F/M action.
