#releasetherate
Help Authors Spread the Word – PLEASE SHARE!
I’ve been a HUGE proponent of the Kindle Unlimited program. It’s allowed me to gain a broader readership and new fans who would have never discovered me without being able to borrow my books and take a chance on them through KU.
That said, you may not be aware that Amazon made massive, sweeping changes to the KU program that started July 1. Beginning that day, they will only be paying based on pages read, rather than books borrowed.
This change has left authors in the dark regarding royalties since Amazon isn’t telling us how many readers are borrowing our books or how much we’ll earn for each page read.
How can authors make good business decisions without knowing how much money they are earning? The short answer is, we can’t. And that makes many of us question whether we should remain part of the Kindle Unlimited program at all.
That’s why I’ve joined #releasetherate, an author-led initiative with a simple goal: getting Amazon to release more information to authors. We’re not asking for much. We’re asking for two small pieces of data that Amazon can easily produce that will help self-published authors make informed business decisions.
1.) Number of units borrowed per book — Amazon has this data; they have been providing it to us since the Select program began. Why withhold that number now? The only reason is to confuse authors. Give us the total number of customers who have clicked the “Read for Free” button on our book’s sales page. Or, at the very least, give us the total number of customers who have read a minimum of one page of our book.
2.) #releasetherate – Authors are aware that Amazon has a ballpark rate-per-page-read that they are expecting to pay for Select and KU pages read in July 2015. We hope it’s not the .0057 cents per page based on the June 2015 Select Fund and pages read, a rate that would decimate the income of many authors and make it impossible for us to remain part of the Kindle Unlimited program.
If you’re an author or reader who feels that Amazon should #releasetherate, please help us spread the word by sharing this post.
And if you’re as angry and frustrated about the lack of information being provided to authors, as I am, please let Amazon know by sending an email to jeff@amazon.com and letting him know that withholding basic business information from authors is making many of your favorite authors wonder if Kindle Unlimited is really the right program for them after all.

Sara has proven to be a vindictive and petty alpha, and when Zane begins to lavish more attention on Nikki and spend less time bedding her and breaking in the newer members of the pack, Sara lashes out with a vengeance. Sara only cares about herself and her power within the pack and will stop at nothing to hold on to it and to Zane.
A devastating loss and a rogue attack convince Nikki that the time has come for a new alpha-female. Can Nikki stop the power hungry Sara from hurting another innocent? Can she win the heart of sexy Zane?

Bad Wolf Excerpt
Bad Wolf Excerpt
Here is an excerpt from my release, Bad Wolf (which is now live on Amazon and will be up shortly everywhere else.)
Luckily for Nikki, she’d been around for a while, so there were only a handful above her who could physically stake a claim. Of those, two were a committed couple, and she never had to worry about advances from them. Sara left her alone unless she wanted retribution, which was quite often in recent months. After Sara, that only left Zane and Adam, who was Zane’s right hand man. Nikki usually had no problem out of Adam, since he tended to enjoy breaking in the new girls as had Zane until a few months before. However, it seemed lately Zane had decided he wanted something different.
“My bedroom… now.” Nikki bowed her head as pack hierarchy demanded and followed him. She felt the poker hot daggers of Sara’s eyes boring into her as she left the common room and headed up the stairs. Now she would once again have to worry about when and how Sara would pounce.
“I expected you to be after the young blood,” she said once the bedroom door had closed.
“I’ve had them all. Besides, you’re much more fun.”
Nikki felt a warm flush flood her body as Zane pulled her against him and sniffed her hair. “I love the way you smell. No other woman in the pack smells like you.”
“Well of course not. We all have different scents.”
Nikki gasped as Zane grabbed a handful of hair and yanked her head backward.
“Oh, feisty today aren’t we?” He bent forward and slid his tongue up the side of her neck. “You know exactly what I meant. You’ve got the best smell in the group. It’s sweetness and sex all rolled into one.”
Nikki relaxed and allowed herself to give in to his touch. He aroused her in ways no other male in the pack could do. It’s one of the reasons she hadn’t paired off with anyone. She felt a connection with Zane, and she knew he felt it too. The problem was Sara. The only way to unseat an alpha-female was to fight her, and Nikki wasn’t quite ready for that. She had yet to take a life, and it was something she didn’t take lightly. She’d need Zane to make a commitment before she’d take that step. She knew Zane would still mess around with the new ones. It was part of his role as the alpha-male, but it wasn’t his body she wanted as solely hers… just his heart.

Pleasures Resort Book 2 Excerpt
Pleasures Resort Book 2 is coming out in the next couple of days. Here is an excerpt!
As she entered the room, darkness met her. A sudden musky smell assaulted her nose moments before her arms were gripped tightly, and she was pulled into the room.
“You’re late bitch,” a deep voice growled in ear. Her body was pushed roughly forward until she smacked face first into the wall. An instant wetness formed between her legs as she realized it was already happening. She gasped as the hem of her skirt was yanked up over her ass and left bunched at her waist.
She felt unyielding hardness of muscle as his body pressed against hers. Rough denim rubbed against the bare skin of her ass, the bulging stiffness nudging between her cheeks spoke of his arousal. A startled cry escaped from her full lips as two fingers forcefully pushed inside her wet pussy.
“Mmm, you are a slut, aren’t you?” the man murmured as he twisted the fingers inside her. She spread her legs wider as she rocked against his fingers, answering his question with the wanton act of fucking herself with his calloused digits. He was treating her exactly the way she wanted… like a slut who was good for nothing but being fucked. His other arm hooked around her waist and she sensed rippling muscles as his hand powerfully squeezed her breast. “Nice tits.”
