Compilation coming out today and Literotica

I've got a compilation that's being released today that contains several recent releases as well as one of my best selling books, "Faerie Women of the Tree City."

This one isn't in Kindle unlimited, but that's only because all of the titles are available in KDP by themselves.

I've submitted this to Amazon and I'll update this post with the link when it's live. 

I've also recently decided to start putting some stories up for free on Literotica. I'm going to try to keep all of those stories exclusively on that platform. I'll link to that as soon as my first short erotica piece is approved. If you'd like a copy of anything on Literotica, send me a note and I can get that to you in your preferred format. 

I will also be announcing a new Patreon page in the coming months. Thanks for stopping by. 

Feedback

I just realized that I had some broken links in the back of my books so maybe some of you are coming to this page for the first time.

As you can see by the number of books that I have out, I have yet to securely pick a Niche.

If you have a second, please let me know what kind of story you'd like me to work on next.

Fiverr is the worst! follow-up and impending ACX

So, I ended up having to ask for a refund on that cover on Fiverr. The thing that seemed really stupid to me is that Fiverr apparently charges a dollar to upload funds to their site. I told them that it was dumb and they refunded me my dollar along with referencing their Terms of Service (Which means almost nothing FYI).

The first time that I used their site to get a cover made for Nanowrimo 2014 there was no charge like that. About a year later, I paid someone for editing services and there was a fifty cent charge and now it's apparently up to a dollar.

Whatever.

I ended up giving them that dollar back though. I really wanted a cover for the novelette that I'm trying to release. So I bought another gig, received that product, and asked for a single revision. I feel bad asking for revisions at all given my previous experience and the fact that I'm only paying these people five dollars.

I think that I'm going to purchase a ten dollar gig next time. I found someone who provides the source file with the ten dollar gig. I'm not totally sure what that means but it seems like a good thing.

I will update here when I get an official cover.

I haven't posted in over a week because my life has been thrown for a bit of a loop, in a good way, but I'm just trying to adjust.

Meanwhile, I approved the audio book version of  Played by the Pumpkin Spice Man. I'll post when it's available and describe how that process worked. I'll also let you know if I make any money on that front.

Okay. Thanks for reading.

GoodReads and Fiverr

This is the follow up from my previous post which can be found here:

GoodReads is ruining my life

In the end GoodReads got back to me within about 12 hours of the previous blogpost and it was apparently a pretty easy fix from their end. I don't think anybody saw that I had started writing bizarre gay erotica and honestly if they did I'd get over it.

They also attached the author account to my actual pen name account within another 12 hours. So basically, they do seem to work on getting back to people but they don't seem to have the resources allocated to do it immediately.

Now if I could only figure out how to get a decent cover made.

I actually drafted a short blog post about some problems that I've been having with Fiverr but never hit the publish button.

Basically, I received the covers that I had ordered but they included an image that I had uploaded as inspiration (as they directed me too) as the background for the cover. This was a pretty big problem because I don't own the rights for that image and the main reason that I'm using Fiverr is because image rights for half naked people are super expensive.

I requested a revision and the seller said that they would look into it. I sent three, two or three word reminders over the next five days (I didn't want to be too hard since I only paid five bucks) but didn't receive any word in return.

This was beginning to be a problem: I have an 18,000 word novella that I busted my but to edit so that I could get it released and I'm waiting for this cover. It was the first cover that I was going to spend money on. I figure since it is a more lengthy story than my other shorts I could invest a little but since I'm just starting out, I only have very little to invest.

I put in a (whatever) to Fiverr and the seller got back to me within six hours. They apologized and said that they must have missed it somehow. In all fairness they are a popular seller with a lot of open orders. Again, as long as I get an okay cover, I'm not going to cause a fuss. I probably won't be using that seller again but I think that they'll do okay without me.

I guess this place is in Berlin but don't read anything political into that. It was just the image on the front page of wikimedia commons today and I thought it looked nice. But man...that election, huh?

New Releases Coming Soon

I have two new and exciting pieces coming out soon.

One is a novella about a man who is taken into another world in which sex is more freely used. He has to help one of the women to stop a group of evil fairies from invading our world. This is in final edits and I'm waiting for the covers to come back.

The other is a continuation of the Amazing Seasonal Encounters series: It's not finished yet but it's a short story about a man who has an encounter with someone who must have sex with him so that she can cross over. Unfortunately she can only do it on November 8th while he is volunteering at his local polling center.

Home that you guys will check them out when they're released.
