An Update From Christina – Dark Romance, #BDSM, and ebooks…

 

It’s been a busy year. From about April to October I was completely apathetic about writing, which worried me, but I seem to have got back into my groove. My mood always seems to improve when I hit the photoshop design corner, and perhaps that’s why I’ve been a bit down lately – mostly because I haven’t released anything!

I’m finding dark romance increasingly frustrating these days because Amazon is being awkward about it, and trying to market it is even harder – but I persevere! After I’v...

The Best Advent Calendar Ever! #Lingerie

I’ve been fascinated by the sudden upsurge in adult advent calendars. Obviously there’s a market for them, and let’s face it – whether you’re a kid or an adult – unwrapping little pressies in the build up to Christmas is going to put a smile on your face, right?

But what could you get the submissive or Mistress in your life? Chocolate’s been done before and heaps of nail varnish and moisturiser can get messy. Fear not – I have the solution!!

LoveHoney have an adult lingerie calendar. How coo...

#MidWeekTease – A Spankingly Good Time #Spanking

Hello Teasers. I’m back for a quick little snippet this week – and at the moment I’m furiously editing in Grammarly. Unfortunately it had picked out at least three million mistakes so far, most of which are misplaced commas (my bad!?) but hopefully it will straighten out most of the mess eventually. I may need several coffees this week, though… Oh, and did I mention I’ve done a bit of a cover revamp?

Revamp on Covers for Sparks and Smoke #ebook

Click to view slideshow.

I’m doing a revamp on the covers for Sparks and Smoke. I’ve had a few people say that the original covers weren’t sexy enough and they didn’t really convey what the book was about – so I’m going to give it another shot and see if these work a little better. These days you have to experiment to see what works best within Amazon, so it’s worth a shot.

If they fail dismally, I’ll put the originals back up. Anyway – all of this means that ‘Smoke’ will be here soon. YAY!
