Super Frustrating!

So I uploaded my latest story, Transformed Into a Hucow... for Science!, on Thursday... but it's stuck in Publishing Purgatory!!! Incredibly frustrating. It's been a full 24 hours now, and it usually only takes 3 or 4. Keep watching this space for an update. I'm really hoping it goes live before the weekend.

In the meantime, I'm already working on a new, interesting project. A billionaire dominate lady. I hope it does well. I know billionaires are popular right now, but they're usually men. This one's a wish fulfillment story with some transformation elements, here's a quick excerpt. Enjoy!
“Well maybe it only had one wish left. And I wasted it.” 
 Jenny smiled and looked me up and down.

“I wouldn’t say that,” she said. I blushed and looked away, but I was secretly very pleased. She reached over and pulled the ring off my finger and studied it for another long moment. Then she looked at me again with a very strange smile on her face that I’d never seen before.

“You said ‘fulfill my every desire,’ correct?”

“Yeah.”

“Those were your exact words?”

“Pretty sure, yes. Why do you ask, Jenny.”

“Well, it may be nothing. But let’s test something out. Stand up and turn around.”

Without really thinking about it I did as she asked. I felt a little self conscious of my body all of a sudden. I really didn’t want my new body to displease her like the old one.

“Good. Now drop your pants and bend over at the waist. I want a good look at your new pussy.”

I did as she said, making sure to move my hair out of the way to give her a clear view of my moist new cunt.

After a long moment when Jenny didn’t say or do anything and the position was starting to become a little uncomfortable, I thought about sitting back down. The thought evaporated from my mind as soon it formed. I blinked for a few seconds confused about what I’d been thinking about, and then the discomfort broke through my confusion and I moved to sit down. Well, I tried to, but my disobedient body didn’t so much as twitch.

Thoughts... and a request

So I've finally fulfilled a long time dream of mine to get something, anything published. It's self-published, so it's not published in the traditional sense, but you know what? I couldn't care less.

I've never been happier.

Now, after re-reading my most recent work just before I published it, I can't help but feel it might be a little slow. Same with my first work. I do some build up and some characterization before I get to the "juicy bits." I'm a traditional fiction writer at heart so I feel that even erotica needs to somewhat follow the plot triangle/curve. But is that what erotica readers like? That's what's more important. And I think the answer is... no. The problem is... no one is reviewing my work! I don't have a lot of sales right now, because I'm just starting out, but I was hoping to get at least a few reviews.

So! If you've purchased/borrowed my work, please review it! Or leave a comment here on my blog. Even if you didn't like it, I'd love to hear back from you. Actually, if you didn't like it, I'd love to hear why. Also any feedback on the title would be appreciated.

You can find my latest work, Blake and the Maltese Futanari, here on Amazon (it's free for Kindle Unlimited users!)
And my first story, A GROWING Desire, here.

The Trouble with Titles

I suck at titles. It's a hard spot to be in as an author. I ran through about a dozen titles for A GROWING Desire and, honestly, I'm still not happy with that title. I think part of my problem is I try to be too clever with the title, instill too much meaning. Those are always my favorite titles, but sometimes a really clever title just goes right over everyone's heads.

Sometimes it doesn't even have to be all that clever.

Titles that are simple, clever and memorable and difficult to come by, which is probably why many authors use titles that are just simple and memorable, i.e. Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, "Nothing Right" (that last one is a short story and book by Antonya Nelson. You should be reading her stuff. It's not erotica, it's just damn good.)

Other times I just want to use titles that I think are hilarious. For instance, I really want to name my current novella "Ice Station Futa." Look, I swear to god, if you knew what I knew, it'd be hilarious. That title, however, has to be one of the top 5 dumbest titles I've ever come up with, and that is SAYING something.

I also want to go with "The Maltese Futanari" which is a reference/homage to a Humphrey Bogart film noir movie. I'll probably end up going with that title, even though I don't care for it, and in many respects it's nearly as dumb as "Ice Station Futa."

What do you think?
