2011 and 2012 were important growth years. With a focus on short stories, and learning as we went into the Amazon Kindle market, Cherish Desire spent a lot of energy getting content out and building the tools to produce and delivery erotica with our own sexual desires unleashed across the world.
Cherish Desire sees 2013 is a chance to review, renew, and power forward.
First Quarter of 2013 tackled two major elements of our books. These were factors that stood out and which Moon and I were unhappy about.
Number one was about coming up with consistent covers that look nice in people's libraries. The new colourful look to Very Dirty Stories volumes is contrasted with a movie poster theme for Cherish Desire Singles and a subdued darker format for print editions.
Number two was bringing the level of quality of the early 2011 ebooks up. Both in terms of leveraging Kindle Fire formats and addressing weaknesses in the stories.
Along the way we incorporated better descriptions that now indicate the type of sexual content in each story, to inform potential readers what they might be getting in to.
Second Quarter saw the release of the revised covers, a major overhaul across all our web sites, and a lot of new content as well as updates to older volumes.
The thinking was clear in our minds: we want people tuned in, turned on, and enjoying the story and the sex. We introduced some new categories - the Niki storyline with a strong emphasis on willing cuckolding, and updates to the Jenny storyline to expose the fact that she's a married woman seeking pleasure elsewhere. And we've introduced some characters Moon may not be fond of, but whom we can relate to: Holly, Kris, and new ladies in the Object Confessions series.
But there's a new wave coming. Third Quarter 2013 is being kicked off with introduction of print editions of Cherish Desire Singles and Cherish Desire Divinations books. The "Object Confessions, Collection 1" is the first broader approach to bringing selected stories from Very Dirty Stories volumes into a single book. New Jenny, Alexi & Andrea, Azure, Angel, Ginny, and Abbey content is rounding out the story of Tom's life.
Because in Very Dirty Stories #100 (presuming Amazon doesn't mess our plan up), Tom's daughter Sable joins the Cherish Desire Ladies.
Shortly thereafter we hope to release "The Bear." The gap between the Cherish Desire Divinations storyline with Erik/Heather and Ronin/Tom storyline was always a much smaller hop than people may have imagined. After all, Angel calls Tom/Ronin a wulfing right out. And Tom's dual nature was always apparent.
From a content perspective, Third Quarter 2013 will start bridging the gap between Tom's world and Adler's world. At the same time we will continue to push forward on updates to existing 2011-2012 released formats to the latest and greatest. The introduction of "The Bear" and free release of "Autumn's Bear" to introduce the next Cherish Desire Divinations book will be a big milestone for storytelling, and we are really excited about sharing these with our readers.
And about Tom... there were always consequences for what happened to Anime Girl. Or didn't you know about what happened to her?
