Dice & Debauchery

I don’t often feature erotica on my blog, but I want to recommend a geek-inspired book with more than a passing connection to D&D. My good friend, Christine Rains (member of our Untethered Realms group) has written Loose Corset, Book 1 of the Dice & Debauchery series. (Isn’t that a great series title?) Continue reading for a post by Christine on how D&D inspired her, and her great giveaway.

Readers, what do authors want from you? Ha, that’s an open-ended question isn’t it?

I bet you answered “to buy all yourbooks.” Yes, that’s true. Most of us desire to make a living from our writing, not so much to be stinkingrich but enough that we can make writing our full-time career. That’s a win for readers too, since we can write more books.

You may also have said “to write awesome 5-star reviews.” Yes, please. I’ve spoken about reviews before,...

Often we assist an organization that affects us or our families, typically someone close that suffers from an ailment or perhaps died from it. Many people gravitate to such medical charities, or perhaps to humanitarian efforts around the globe, such as Red Cross or Médecins Sans Frontières. Animal charities are alwayspopular, be it WWF or the ASPCA. I could list classifications of charities for pagesan...
