Adult Dreams (Book One): Destiny

Adult Dreams (Book One): Destiny

“Ember Buns!” called out a voice from the other room. Out came a man, thin, tall, dressed entirely in black, with his black hair tied back in a ponytail.

“Um…Sun,” I corrected. He stopped and looked at me like I had just said the strangest thing ever.

“Buns would be better,” he said, and I smiled tightly at him. I did kind of have to agree, though.

“Anyway,” he continued, motioning to me to follow him, and turned around to reenter the room he had emerged from. I followed him in and found myself in a small bedroom, with a woman (yay) holding a camera.

“Hi,” I waved to her. She didn’t bother waving back or say anything.

"So, we’ll want you on the bed here, spread out, welcoming. Got it?” he said.

I nodded. “Welcoming,” I repeated.

“We’re doing a whole concept thing. It’s going to be epic. The world is dying, Ember. You understand that, right?”

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Okay…it’s dying and…sex will save it?”

“No, no! Nothing will save it. We’re all fucked! But since it’s all going down, we might as well have sex, that’s the point. That’s the sorrow we’re trying to capture here.”

“Ah yeah, sorrows of the moon. I get it,” I said, not really getting it.

“Nice, you understand! So you’re the moon, basically. Kind of ironic given your name. But anyway, you help mankind deal with the death of the world by sucking their dicks at first, but when that doesn’t do anything, you welcome them into your dark passage, symbolizing an anti-conception paradigm. Does that make sense?”

I nodded vigorously, hoping he wouldn’t ask any questions about this.

“When they both come inside your butt, it will represent mankind ending it all in a futile effort, an ejaculation of all of humanity’s greatest ambitions into the one vessel that will never bear fruit. And thus we all shall pass.”

Announcing the release of Adult Dreams (Book One): Destiny, the first book in the Adult Dreams series, a brand new series centered around a young woman who wants to make it big in the adult industry, in a dystopian world that doesn’t give her the right to make her own decisions.

Spanked on the Rails 2: Female Management

“Dear fans, followers and friends, both real and virtual,” intoned Erik as he surveyed the assembled throng of the public, crowded into the giant auditorium his people had arranged for the occasion. The crowd slowly began to settle down, their restless murmurs of anticipation and barely restrained longing for news, any news from him slowly coming under control.

As the echoes of the crowd started to fade he swung his right hand in a magnanimous gesture to encompass one and all. “I come to you today with a momentous announcement,” he said, pausing for dramatic effect. It worked: the crowd began to stir again, people whispering to each other. A woman close to the front was openly weeping, tears running unrestrained from her reddened eyes.

Erik began to wobble a bit. The massive golden throne he was seated on was borne on the shoulders and backs of at least twenty young, naked and beautiful slave girls who strained under the weight of their burden. He needed to make this quick. “I say again, a momentous and world changing announcement!”

The crowd hushed again and Erik went in for the kill. “Today I announce that I will be releasing Spanked on the Rails 2: Female Management!” The crowd went wild, clapping, cheering, screaming. Several young women and not a few men in the front fainted. 

Erik basked in the adulation, a moment cut short by the collapse of his throne underneath him. One of the slave girls had stupidly decided to join in the clapping and had destabilized the entire pyramid of straining slaves. The roars of horror from the crowd and screams from the slaves masked his own cry of frustration and fear as he tumbled down into the crowd.

“No autographs,” he screamed as his security rushed into the crowd to save him. Erik sighed, he was going to have to completely rethink his press release strategy.

Don't make me have to rebuild that throne! Go out there and get my latest book "Spanked on the Rails 2: Female Management", the second in the Spanked on the Rails series!

“So here’s the deal, sweetie,” Augustine said as she sat down and glanced over Emily’s nude body. “It’s already 7, we were a bit delayed getting out of Chicago. Dinner starts in a half hour and you’ll be helping in the dining car. The other girl, Grace, will be doing room service. She’ll be taking passengers’ food orders in their cabin and then bringing it to them, with Frank, the dining car attendant’s help.”

“I’ve done some waitress service when I was younger,” Emily volunteered. “Not on a train, and not naked, of course.”

“Yes, this will be quite different,” Augustine replied.

Emily’s trip thus far on RailTrek has been far from what she envisioned it to be. After booking Comfort Class, she was used as a plaything for the other first class passengers on the train. Now she’s finally on the last leg of her journey to Syracuse. She hopes to attend University there and make a new life for herself. Will the mysterious professor she meets help her or will he derail her plans? And what of this new Female Management program everyone seems to want her to join? Will it involve even more spankings for Emily?

Yours,

Erik

A Note on Being Read

 There's something special about being read. Even if it's by just a few people, here and there. Pretty much everything I've ever written before has been a requirement. Something I needed to do for a class: an assignment, an essay, a report. And someone had to read it. It was their job to do so, and they did it and moved on. Perhaps they enjoyed what they read, but I'm not egotistical enough to think that that was often the case. When I started working full time, what I wrote was mainly code, which machines read. But the occasional PowerPoint presentation or email was something that had to be read, by people who were paid to be there and while they were there, they felt they had to read what I wrote and add to it with their own words. That I had to then read.

But now, as an author, I have written things that no-one needs to read. No-one gets paid to do so, and it's not anyone's job to do so. (Excepting perhaps the content moderators who screen the endless stream of submissions to Kindle's publishing portal. Let's pour one out to those valiant souls!)

Now, I've published two ebooks so far and the numbers are nice and low, not gonna lie. But when I look at the few books that were sold, I can't help but think that someone read my blurb and decided to give it a try. And maybe they read my book and liked it. Or didn't. But they read it because they wanted to, not because they had to.

And when I look at the page reads for Kindle Unlimited, I can't help but think of it as an even better measure, one that makes me almost cry. Not because the number are low (they are) but because any number greater than zero is an indication that someone out there is reading what I wrote. And since the number of pages read is greater than the number of pages written, either there's a few people who read the whole thing, or an even larger number who read at least part of either book. And they did it because they wanted to.

That's pretty cool. I've written software that a surprisingly large number of corporate users use, but only because they have to. That nevertheless earns me a nice amount of money. But this, this is so much better. To have even just one person read what I wrote because they wanted to, makes me happy.

Yours,

Erik

Now Available: Captive Cruise Companion!

 As Chandler Bing would have said, "Could there be anything more exciting?" My second book, Captive Cruise Companion (Book One): Candy, is live on Amazon right now! This book is also the first in a series of books centered around Candy, a spunky young woman who is kept as a captive companion on board the Corsican Carnivale, a cruise ship offering some very exciting perks to its highest status passengers!

I'm very happy with this one. I find myself especially pleased with the way Candy turned out as a character. In addition, I think the story has a very nice character arc which leads to (spoiler alert!) a satisfying happy ending.

Fascinatingly enough, I'm already starting to see people reading the book and my previous book, Spanked on the Rails: Emily's College Trip! To be honest, I didn't expect any activity at all until I had published at least half a dozen books. And to be even more honest, the numbers are very close to zero, so my estimate was not far off! But the reality of this environment is that the likelihood of being discovered by readers when you have only one or two books published is very slim indeed.

I write and publish mainly because it's a very satisfying experience and I love the challenge of trying my very best to write stories that I would love to read and hopefully others will find entertaining as well.

Erik

Introducing: Captive Cruise Companion!

    “Hi, I’m Candy!” she said as she bounced a little up and down on her heels, breasts bouncing along with her, and waved her right hand in a cheery little wave of greeting.

“Um, hello?” 

“I’m your Cruise Companion! Mind if I come in?” 

Arthur didn’t think that he could have said anything at this point as she proceeded to make her way into his suite. Was she skipping? Arthur couldn’t help but focus his eyes on her buttocks as they made the most delightful motions, accompanying her journey into his space and announcing every move she made with a jiggle. 

She reached the middle of the room, turned around to face him, continuing to bounce up and down in barely contained excitement. 

“Golly, wow! This place is just amazing,” she enthused. “This is literally the biggest room I’ve even been in my entire life! Do you just love it?”

Introducing my next book series, "Captive Cruise Companion." This is a new serial based around a cruise line where the upper class suite passengers get access to a "companion" who is there to do pretty much anything you'd like them to do. There's the usual themes of bondage and submission, as well as a nice amount of punishment administered to a helpless girl. Don't worry, she is, as with all my female submissive characters, quite into it.

Personally, I love the main character, Candy. She's a bubbly, cheery girl full of energy who makes everyone around her cherish her presence. Plus, I wouldn't mind experiencing some of this service on board my next cruise!

Look for the book to come out on Amazon in the next week or so, as it's being edited and prepared for publishing.

Yours,

Erik

Introducing: Spanked on the Rails!

 Gathering her rolling bag and heading into the station building she looked around at the other passengers. Huh, all men. Weird, she seemed to be the only female here. They were all wearing some pretty expensively tailored business suits, she decided. Not that she knew necessarily what those looked like or cost, but they didn’t seem cheap.

More than one of the men glanced at her with a knowing smile. Alright, Emily, stop being so paranoid, she said to herself. There’s probably some conference in Chicago and the fine businessmen of the Greater Eugene area were headed there in their finest. Looking forward to days and days of being locked in conference rooms, discussing the finer points of Key Performance Indicators and other business bullshit that Emily and her friends had joked about after watching UWatch parodies. Still, a bit depressing that there weren’t any business women along. What the fuck?

That reminded her, what the heck was she going to major in? Business? Her scholarship allowed her to choose whatever, but had gently hinted at an engineering focus. Emily wasn’t quite ready to decide on that yet, but perhaps the long ride on the train would give her some time to think about it.

In any event, spending some time actually looking where she was going would have been a better thing to concentrate on as she bumped into a tall, black man who seemed like he worked at the station. No, at RailTrek she corrected herself as she backed up, apologizing and looking at the uniform he wore.

“Hi, sorry about that. I’m getting on the train to Chicago,” she said to him. “Is that boarding now?”

“Can I see your ticket,” he replied. Didn’t seem too friendly, but when Emily showed him her ticket on her phone, his eyes lit up.

“Oh, shit! We didn’t think you’d actually show! Come this way,” he said to her as he gently guided her by the upper arm to a side door.

Somewhat puzzled, but without any prior experience with trains to guide her, she allowed herself to be led to what seems to be some employee-only door. The other passengers were milling about in the central part of the station hall, she noted. I guess this ticket is so cheap for a reason, she thought to herself, once again cursing her lack of finances and the impact that kept having in her life.

The man opened the door and guided her in to reveal what looked a lot like a changing room, with lockers, benches, and a narrow table along one side of the room. She startled as the door slammed closed behind her.

“Alright, go ahead and take off all your clothes and put them in this bag here. You’ll get them all back at your destination,” he said as he picked up a black cloth bag from the side of the table and held it out to her.

Introducing my upcoming book "Spanked on the Rails: Emily's College Trip". This will be the first book in a serial following the adventures of Emily, a recent high school graduate who is heading off to college. Not having enough money to afford real transportation, she jumps at the cheap Comfort Class fare offered by RailTrek. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that the comfort being sold here is her!

This book is still being written and edited, but I hope to have it out soon on Amazon. Please keep an eye out for it!

Yours,

Erik
