New Chapter to Foodie (Something Like a Wife)

Well I added a new chapter right smack-dab in the middle of the book I've been working on. I am quite excited about it. I think it will really help to add some sexual tension between the characters. I am very hopeful about this book. I really like the story and I am going to do my best to make it smooth. Here is the new potential cover...Let me know what you think. And keep in mind: I can only use pictures of myself, so please don't suggest a big pair of titties with a cherry on top for the cover or something like that hahahaha

PS: Which I did think about, but with cleavage instead of titties.

This is the new one:

Exhibit A 

This is the old one:

Exhibit B

Tell me which one you like more...

And of course, you are more than welcome to say, "Neither".

Censorship?

Yeah so, I went on a rant a few days ago about smashwords Censorship but...I don't know how strict they are being with it because I just read a title for a book: Caught by Daddy...Which I automatically thought was about being caught by her lover that she calls daddy but it's really about  a girl masturbating and being caught by her Step Dad LOL Soooooooooooooo...Maybe I don't have to worry so much about the censorship after all LOL

PS and two books down is a book called: Stepdad's Slut ROFL!
PPS and YES I KNOW that a step dad is not blood relation...but the censoring was supposed to also cover pseudo incest relationship :)

On Amazon!

Yea! My book got approved for Amazon. :) It's up now. Bound for Life-Uncensored and Bound for Life-Censored.

The Waiting Game

Well, I submitted them to smash words and now I'm just waiting. It's a good thing they have that auto check thing, because I copied and pasted the copyright info and forgot to change the copyright date to 2012 lol. So Ill let you know what happens!
PS: This is a  part of the email I got: Congratulation, Bound for Life-Censored is now published online at Smashwords and ready for immediate sampling and purchase! (INSERT: Me shrieking, clapping and jumping up and down...then I read this lol...) But before you bask in your accomplishment, STOP (INSERT: Me stopping suddenly and sighing) your job isn't done yet! Read on... (LOL)

PPS: I had to take the adult filter off to see my book. That goes for anyone new to the site. For now the best way I know to do that is to go to the search bar and type in "adult filter". If someone has a link then feel free to post it.

Finally done editing Bound for Life

I finally finished reading through the entire story...very slowly...and editing to the best of my ability. I decided that I am going to post a censored and an uncensored version on the site so people could have the option. Hopefully they will leave both copies up. I made two different covers and so this should help make it clear for people. Well, gotta be out so I can get this finished. Peace. Oh, here is a pic of both covers:

                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                                                                           

What do y'all think

I'm still up in the air about this one but there are a lot of things that I like about it...who knows, I might start over from scratch.

Supplies

Here are my little photo shoot supplies...totally bondage :) 

Now I just need a paddle... 

...and my Master...

How I Made My OWN Book Covers

So here is the deal. For those of you who are looking at royalty free photos. They are to an extent. If you get permission from the artist then it's all good. Most of the sites charge like a few bucks but that's just for personal use. If you are intending on selling something then you have to get permission from the artist and pay more money, which could mean $50 or more (Which is fair) but fair is not always in our budget. Then on top of that, you may have to pay more money if you sell more books than you think. Let's say your book takes off and you sell like 10,000 copies or 25,000 copies, you may have to pay even more money if you want to keep using that photo. Plus, like me, you might not be able to find what you are looking for. SO,

1. I took my camera phone (if you don't have a good camera phone then a digital camera will work just fine) and took some shots that fit the book and of course uploaded them to my computer.

2. I downloaded a photo editor (my choice was "Photoscape". It was free and easy to use. However, if you are advanced then use whatever you want). If you can afford a better one, I would get it so you can have more options. I am sure I will upgrade at some point.

3. I uploaded my photos into the program, edited them to be the right shape, then did the effects I wanted and added the title and all, and that's about it.

3 simple steps. So you can totally do it too! Here are the samples:

So good luck to you and don't let anything get you down for too long! You can reach that goal! If you have any questions, just hit me up on here or:

Censorship-Smashwords/Various Publishers - Content Herein Rated MA

I decided to self publish because I was irritated with the censorship nonsense, and let's be clear, not censorship over all, but the hypocrisy surrounding it. Ok, (And for the record I am not writing about rape, so let's not get it twisted). Don't tell me that rape for titillation is not ok, but then fail to specify, that rape for action is ALSO not ok. Don't tell me that rape is not ok and then approve a book with forced molestation. Personally, I am not into reading NON-erotic books about women that are blatantly raped, let alone erotic books about rape for the sake of stimulation (for women's stimulation, mind you) even though some women are into that. And shit, we all have a line, my line just doesn't go that far. For instance, I don't mind forced molestation. I'll provide an example: She is attracted to him but she doesn't know him like that, but she's been daydreaming about being with him. He doesn't know her that well but he has been fantasizing as well. One day he pulls her in the back room and ties her up and she says, "Pleas don't force me". He say's, "I'm not going to force you". Then he proceeds to rip off her shirt and kiss her breasts. She is blushing and can't believe what is happening. She want's this but she feels like it's wrong. Her nipples are getting hard, she is wet and she wants him so badly. She is saying, "No. Don't," but her body is saying, "Yes". By the end of it she is so hot that she is begging him to screw her and he does. Is that rape? No. Is it forced molestation? Yes. Is it hot? For a good chunk of women, including myself, yes. Now, I stopped reading a book the other day and returned it. It was "Fury" by Laurann Dohner in the "New Species" series. I was REALLY excited about this series, as I had just finished The ZORN Warriors Series (MMMMmmmmm! Yummy!) Here is why: For me it was too close to rape. He didn't want to please her and make her feel good (at least not from what he expressed verbally, even though we, as the audience, know he did). He wanted to make her suffer and punish her for revenge and she was going to allow herself to be raped because of what? Guilt! Naw, F*ck that S*it. I'm not feeling that. I was looking for some sort of verbal exchange between them to let me know that they "understood" each other, if you will, and that even though he wanted to hurt her, he wanted to please her, and she KNEW that. But there was no verbal exchange of that. So as far as I'm concerned, she was going to allow herself to be raped out of guilt and feeling like she deserved it. That to me is NOT sexy...Now I respect that some women find that sexy. Especially since it really sets up the vulnerability, out right, so there is a real sense of being taken advantage of and still feeling safe (without all of the side talk to make us, as the reader, feel comfortable). I get it, but it's not for me. With that said...Don't sit her and tell me that you don't approve books about rape, when you do. Don't sit her and tell me that you don't approve books that use weapons sexually, when I just read about a guy being beaten with an asp baton, ass raped with it and then the perpetrator was preparing to rape him with his perverted dick (yes that was in the book. It was written in past tense and not for titillation but nevertheless). If you are going to censor then be CLEAR about what you are going to censor. Don't be a hypocrite. Art is GREY! I understand that. And I'm sorry, but I don't give a shit about your feelings or your morals. If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT! Get your money back! Period. This is why I'm not feeling censorship. So, I am going to go ahead and try my luck and see what happens. There is nothing too bad in my books but because the line isn't clear, I don't know what they are going to be ok with and what they are not. If my shit get's censored, then I am going to post here. If blogger censors me, then I am going to just go ahead and start a website. I like writing and I want to write it the way I see it in my imagination. For now, I will probably have revised versions for these mainstream sites (smashwords) and then have the hahaha uncut version here (had a little "American Pie/Road Trip" moment). Not the entire story but just the title and the original writing of said section. Anyway. I'm done ranting for now. I would love to hear your comments about this topic and if you have read that FURY book and you really think I should give it a chance and that's it's not as bad as I think it's gonna be then I am open to hearing what you have to say. So with that, Peace out! :)  
PS sorry for typos/grammer errors, this is just a rant so not gonna spend too much time on it.

First one up

In the next week or two I am planning on publishing a book that for now is being called Secret Taboo...This is NOT going to be the name as it has nothing to do with the story...My original idea for the story changed about 1/2 way through and so the title no longer fits. I am still coming up with an idea. I am quite excited about the story. I do hope that you all like  it, let me know what you think. It will be on smashwords.com and then eventually I will be posting them to amazon.com so that they will be available on kindle! Yea! :)
