A cup of coffee, a picture in my head

I’ve had a bad writing week. It’s trouble focusing, a little bit of winter-related sadness, and life stress. I’ve opened and closed my Pygmalion-inspired novella multiple times without making progress. I suppose sitting around inside, away from the cold, has finally taken its toll on me. Often, I find myself drifting off into a daydream while staring at a blinking cursor, and there is one daydream in particular…

Las Vegas, hands-down, is my favorite city. Maybe because I’m still at that young,...

Selling like hot cakes

I couldn’t help myself, I just had to write another werewolf story. But I got a little bored with writing about female humans and male werewolves. I wanted to put a gay man in front of a werewolf instead. I also went for a monster werewolf this time around, rather than the romanticized werewolf our erotica readers are familiar with today. It was an experiment. I wanted to see if I could execute something that was unusual for me. To my pleasant surprise, Kneeling before the Wolfhas been this w...

I’ve been a bad girl

Pseudo incest is one of my favorite kinks to write about, but unfortunately it is also one of the hardest sub-genres of erotica to get approved on e-retailers’ sites. It’s a shame, because it also happens to be popular. There are legions of readers who enjoy PI erotica, so the demand is there. It’s the retailers’ loss, really, because barring this type of work from being published alienates a lot of their consumers. Outside of royalties, though, PI erotica addresses the darker side of sexuali...

More new releases, stripper admissions, and an excerpt

Eroticist extraordinaire Scarlet Cox posted thisblog entry for this week’s new releases, and you can find me on there!

I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I gained about two pounds overnight. I hope I can lose it by amateur night at our local strip club, which has inadvertently become a tradition between myself and my friends every December (don’t ask).

So what’s on deck…

It’s been ages (or so it seems), but I’m finally putting the finishing touches on my newest Equinoxstory. There’s...

Nora Nix reviewed my story, "Hot Set," some capitalism, and some free shit

…which you can read about on her blog here. Reading it gave me the warm fuzzies, because Nora is such a gifted, eloquent, talented writer, and she so graciously gave my story 5 stars. I encourage EVERYONE to go read this particular post, because there’s more to it than a review of my humble story. For those of you not in the know, we erotica authors and readers are in the midst of the “Pornocalypse,” wherein online retailers have begun to pull erotic titles based on whether or not their conte...

A new release!

I finally finished my lesbian vampire story, y’all, which marks my 19th title on Amazon. HOLY CRAP GUYS. I can’t believe only two months ago I started off with my humble story about a college girl having sex on camera for money. I don’t plan on slowing down soon, and I’ll definitely be sharing all the lessons I learn on the road to self-publishing success.

Well, here’s one lesson I learned very recently. The most effective way to increase sales and readership is to WRITE. There’s a reason ever...

WEREWOLF PORN. There, I said it. (and gay porn)

First of all, I would like to point out that there is a difference between erotica and porn, which I might explore later (or you can Google it. Blah).

I wrote my first werewolf erotica story, Equinox,after this dream where I was being chased through a forest by a wolf. I’ve written one sequel and one prequel and have since moved on. I’ve been working on and off on my lesbian erotica story all day today, from noon until dusk until now, when the sky is black with night. The coyotes have come out...

Christmas came early this year

My local radio station started playing holiday tunes on November 1st. Many people said “Trick or treat” on Halloween, only to turn around and say “Merry Christmas” in the very same breath. It’s no wonder, though. Compared to Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving has a comparably smaller profit-generating potential (outside of turkeys and tofurkeys, of course). However, there is one thing we can all be thankful for. The Smutwritershave released their holiday anthology. Perfect for the biblioph...

Making money off the internet, and my upcoming story

Arlie Hochschildis a sociologist whose special interest involves how American society copes with the increasing digitization of relationships. Think about it: Google, Plenty of Fish, Instagram, Youtube, etc. There’s pros and cons, of course. Pro: You can Skype your sister studying abroad in China. Con: With the increasing emphasis on text-based communication (like texting), our children and grandchildren risk having poor face-to-face social skills. Today one of my friends ranted about how peo...
