Lisabeth Sarai, the Mistress of Smut, has a new book out for all you BDSM fans,
The Gazillionaire and the Virgin: An Atypical BDSM Romance. What’s neat about this story is that it’s also available in an audio format, for those of you who like having someone talk dirty to you.
Lisabet is one of my favorite authors of BDSM erotica and while she sometimes makes me cringe, she writes some of the best smut around. Check out the blurb below and the buy links following the blurb.
As an author of twenty-something erotic novels and novellas, I know a little about the self-publishing game. While certainly not a marketing genius, I am an engineer by training and taught to study options before jumping in.
For those who’ve tried the traditional publishing route, you quickly realize that the odds are stacked against you. Sort of like when you figure out that being 5-foot-6, professional basketball is not a likely option for you.
SmashWords has added a new wrinkle to authors who publish erotica, requiring that they classify their smut as to whether it contains certain topics that some consider taboo. While we know that SmashWords is pretty forgiving and will pretty much publish anything, they also distribute to a number of publishers who are not so forgiving.
The nice thing about SmashWords is that when you publish a book, it gets automatically republished by a number of other publishers such as B&N, Kobo, iBooks (Apple), and others if the book is classified as Premium.
“The Watchers” is featured today by my good friends at KinkyLiterature.com. They have best in smut including those stories which are Too Hot For Amazon! For a more detailed blurb go the page on KL or to my blurb page here.
The Watchers (36,000 words) is a tale about Gene, an insurance adjuster, who is having a mid-life crisis after 20 years of marriage.
Imagine that you’ve just finished a mind numbing seminar and are sitting in a hotel bar having a drink when you pick up on the conversation two guys next to you are having about a Sex Show.
You hear the words Sex Show and your ears perk up. As you listen, you discover that for one-hundred dollars you can watch two girls getting gangbanged, right in front of your eyes. For someone who looks at wrecked cars and damaged houses for a living, a sex show sounds irresistible.
Well once again, I’m stymied by getting a paperback version of Stripper or Nurse? out the door. Wifey is always telling me that she doesn’t like to read on an electronic device such as a Kindle, tablet, phone, or computer. So after publishing my latest novel Stripper or Nurse?, 80,000 words available from Amazon, SmashWords, Barnes & Noble, or Kobo, I decided to try my hand at print publishing a paperback version.
B.T.W. for whatever reason, Apple decided to no-bill Stripper or Nurse? as it violated some part of their decency clause! Now while I write stroke stories with explicit sex, I try to be careful and not push the line too much so that the publishers don’t throw them under the bus.
Finally, Stripper or Nurse? can be purchased as something that you can hold (well except for that other thing). No longer do you have to balance your laptop on your knees as you rub one out. 🙂
It’s been a long and winding road as one band used to say and my experience in publishing this tome certainly reflected that. While I don’t want to recommend that you do something else with your spare time, it was a learning experience as my Mother used to tell me.
All jokes aside, I had a lot of fun creating a paperback version of my latest smut story and now am trying to decide which of my other stories to immortalize on paper and help to kill a few trees.
So if you’ve got the hankering to take yourself and my book in hand, click here to buy Stripper or Nurse? in paperback (260 pages of non-stop erotica).

Stripper or Nurse? is in the recovery room at last! I’m almost finished with my first print book saga. I never realized what a pain in the rear printing a book could be. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully, it’s not an oncoming train!
Last week I ordered my proof copy and just assumed that it would be in my hands within a few days. Finally, after over a week it showed up and naturally I had screwed up!
Somehow I got a blank page inserted which made each chapter start on the left side of the book. Chapters should always start on the right side of the paper and not on the underside.
Fantasy Swingers (12,000 words, FREE) tells of a couple, who become interested in swinging because of the wife’s infatuation with a co-worker. Later, while shopping for a sexy dress, they meet a couple of swingers, who initiate them into the alternative lifestyle known as swinging.
Fantasy Swingers is featured today by my good friends at KinkyLiterature.com, where all the best smut is available from your favorite authors. Remember that at KinkyLiterature they have all the best erotica that is 2Kinky4Amazon.
Remember when you were a kid and having to wait for Santa to come down your chimney and put gifts all around your Christmas tree? Then when you learned the cruel truth about Santa Claus, you didn’t tell your parents you knew the truth as you didn’t want the presents to stop.
I’ve finished my print version of Stripper or Nurse? which ended up as a 260-page saga of never ending sex and will make you have to switch to your left hand as a backup.
Now, I feel like that kid waiting for the sun to come up so I could play with my Red Ryder BB gun and hopefully not shoot my eye out!
As a writer of smut (erotica to those of you with a weak stomach), we typically nurse at the biggest teat we can find, Amazon. But Amazon is typically a love – hate relationship with the author’s of porn constantly joisting with Amazon’s censor’s to see how much we can push the line.
A big percentage of us are self-published and as such don’t have a large publishing house behind us with tons of lawyers and advertising wonks. To sell our masterpieces to ensure a fresh supply of hand towels and batteries, we try to make our covers and blurbs stand out in front of the other perverts.
Once you start publishing, you quickly learn the cruel truths of Amazon’s acceptance policy, no bare boobs, no butt shots, and above all no high school cheerleaders, even if they are wearing a thong.
