Audible Release
So Submission Backstory has been doing fantastic on Amazon. It's labeled as LGBT erotica but it's got a strong BDSM theme. With 5 star reviews across the board (well maybe a couple 4 stars on Goodreads) it's an important book for me because it sets up the town from which I'll draw my stories.
https://www.amazon.com/Submission-Bac...
The BEST News, however, is that it's getting released as an Audiobook as well. My publisher at Wordwooze believes strongly in Audiobooks for erotica and having heard a preview of this one I have to agree with him. Sierra Kline sounds amazing reading this story. She knows just when to be sly and when to have some fun. The book is showing in the search results on Audible and should be purchasable any minute now. I am so excited for this, it's a whole new avenue for my writing career.

Happy Thanksgiving
It's the Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada and to celebrate I've got a little promotion set up.
I've made my self-published #ebook free from Oct 9th to the 13th.
Please get a copy and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave a #Review!!!
https://www.amazon.com/Their-Meddling...Their Meddling Aunt: Sequel to Their Wild Little Girl
I had originally thought to do a giveaway for my new book, Beauty and the Bitch, on Facebook with one of those "Like+Comment to enter" giveaways but literally no one entered! That hurt my feelings a bit but I'm a big softy. So instead of being bitter I'll give you a free book and hope the quality of my writing, characters and story telling will entice you to check out my other works.
Who knows? You might just become a fan!

New Audible Release!
A fantastic bit of news that comes right on time for the Halloween season. My horror/erotica: THE DOMME’S DAUGHTER: A TOUCH TOO REAL
Now Available in Kindle Unlimited and Audiobook Editions
Domina Brookes was never going to have a normal life. Given a dominant's title for her legal name by a man-hating domme (who happens to be both the mayor and mommy dearest), fate just seemed to be against her. All her life she's been groomed as heir apparent, but Domina has always rejected her mother's world. First, she tried to ignore it, and then, when she couldn't turn away, she tried to hide. Locking herself up tight in the house her mother gave her, Domina hasn't stepped outside in years. That, of course, doesn't sit well with Domina's mother. With an election year looming and storm clouds on the horizon, Mayor Brookes can no longer tolerate an agoraphobic anti-kink daughter who could potentially turn into a PR nightmare. So she's made it her mission to drag Domina out of her shell, kicking and screaming if necessary.
As her mother comes crashing down on Domina's safe, secluded life, all hope seems lost until a light appears in the form of Tyler, the only fan of Domina's one outlet, her blog. A romantic, empathetic stranger whose courage grows as her mother's pressure mounts, he quickly becomes Domina's knight in blue jeans. Domina's defenses slowly lower as this charming young man provides a respite from her mother's storm, but danger lurks around every corner. Can Domina let Tyler into her refuge without her mother finding out? Can the young woman's fears be overcome? And who exactly is this man who would risk everything to court the mayor's only daughter?

Master May I? Giveaway!
***Master May I? is free***
Dates: Nov. 24 - Nov. 28
Let ALL your friends know!
Description:
Alyssa K is the “It” girl in town, loving her life as a successful erotica author and BDSM enthusiast. She says yes to life and all it has to offer, never afraid to see what happens next. Darrius is the town’s playboy sheriff, a lifestyle dominant and confirmed bachelor with a perpetually empty jail at his disposal. He's never short of adventuresome sex partners who want to walk on the wild side. The paths of Alyssa and Darrius were bound to cross eventually, but neither would have guessed that the impetus for that meeting would come in the form of a suicide attempt. When the town's resident angry drunk rolls her wheelchair into traffic, Alyssa saves her life…against the woman’s will. Fascinated by her anger at being rescued, and the woman herself, Alyssa quickly goes into reporter mode but Darrius blocks her at every turn, a state of affairs neither finds themselves minding whatsoever. Darrius has been thinking about something more serious and, as she tumbles down a whole new rabbit hole, Alyssa finds herself wondering if she might not be ready for something more meaningful as well. The real question is what sort of relationship, and with whom?
Alyssa soon learns that there are different forms of love, the raw, physical earthly kind and the deeper, more spiritual type. The one could easily be found with the delightfully obstinate sheriff if she's willing to give up all her other playmates. The other may be hidden deep within the life she saved…if she can break through the walls of rage and regret. Torn between two very powerful, very different lovers and lost in a sea of secrets, Alyssa finds herself pushed to the limit. She thought she knew everything there was to know about kinky sex, but when true feelings enter the picture she learns that she's only begun to scratch the surface. She's submitted her body and mind to many, but now she must submit the most precious part of herself to the whims of fate. Is she destined for happiness or heartbreak? The answer is buried deep in the secrets of the masters. Will they let her find it before it’s too late?

Indie Authors Need Your Help
Hey lovers,
Have you heard of #cockygate? How about #GetLoud? The Romance (and especially romance/erotica) genres are in trouble these days. Did you know that with 6 books published I struggle to make even $45 in a month. This month I made $4.
I write #LGBT erotica but lately the #LGBT tags have been stripped from my books, especially my Lesbian Romance, and (like many others) I’ve been tossed into a general BDSM Erotica category. This is Amazon trying to sweep a literary genre under the rug as if its no more than porn. It is not. I, like my contemporaries, work hard to write interesting and engaging narratives and we deserve to be treated like any other genre.
You can help. Use the hashtags, call attention to what’s happening, let people know. To help me specifically you can visit my fanpage for all my book links and descriptions but don’t stop with just me. Discuss your favorite authors, leave reviews, let people know that this isn’t a dirty subject. This is literature.
Here's a great explanation of what "book stuffers" are and why they are a problem:
