As in my last blog post, the censors at Amazon have done it again. “Seduced By The Dark Side” which has been one of my best sellers for 3 years was suddenly ranked ADULT!
WTF?
At least Amazon was nice enough to tell me that it was the cover image and not the usual “we are not going to tell you what we don’t like, figure it out.”
I love that picture and the only thing I can think of is that you can sort of see her nips through the t-shirt?
As an author of erotica, I thread a fine line when creating a cover for my porn. I like a cover that is sexy and eye catching, while not being too far over the edge. You may not realize it but Amazon and Apple are very particular about cover images.
Butt shots are out, nudity naturally, and a lot of things that may surprise you. While you can get away with most images on Kinky Literature, SmashWords, or Excitica other sites are not so friendly to writers of erotica.
Well I’m some 15,000+ words on my latest smut story “Stripper or Nurse?”. No details shared as of yet except it will be one of the hottest stories I’ve ever written. In other words, everybody gets laid even the valet!
But before you say, “Oh, Damn!”, I will share one little excerpt with you:
Excerpt from Stripper or Nurse?
Foxy wins a Texas-Hold’em tournament at a Las Vegas Strip Casino and invites her husband down to celebrate. While our two favorite swingers are celebrating, they pick up and seduce Zoe, a recent divorcee.
What follows is a night of debauchery in a hotel Bridal Suite as they turn her every way but loose in the no holes barred style that Larry Archer is known for.
Coffee, Tea, or ME? is currently available on SmashWords by clicking this link. Or on Amazon by clicking this link. If you don’t have a preference where you buy your smut, try my favorite KinkyLiterature.com, the prices are the same and they offer a wide selection of erotica, including all of mine.
Seduced by the Dark Side is on sale this weekend for 99 cents (regularly $2.99).
“Seduced by the Dark Side” (58,000 Words) is a hard-core non-stop erotic romance about a small town farm girl from Minnesota who moves to Las Vegas to experience the wilder side of life. Ingrid’s education starts as soon as her plane lands in Las Vegas where she is picked up by Stormy, an exotic dancer, while trying to get her luggage. Accepting a ride from her new girlfriend, she finds out how much fun the back of a limo can be with a bunch of horny exotic dancers.
Once again, it’s Halloween boys and girls. After the youngsters are safely tucked away in a sugar induced coma, it’s time for the older boys and girls to go out and play.
Hopefully one of your group has volunteered to stay sober and somewhat sane, otherwise call Uber or Lyft for a ride. We’ll be down on the Las Vegas Strip at a House Party. Well not exactly a house party as it will be held in a suite at Aria and not at someone’s house but you get the idea.
The nice thing about being on the Strip is people watching and the show is often better than the ones you have to pay for.
“Fantasy Swingers 2” (Foxy & Larry #9 – 35,000 Words) 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 alternate lifestyle known as swinging. This stories deals with the conversion of Cynthia from a sweet innocent housewife to a complete slut (use your own imagination here). Cynthia and her husband are thrown into the deep end of the swinger’s pool and learn to sink or swim or at least swallow!
Available at SmashWords, Amazon and KinkyLiterature.com soon. SmashWords has versions for virtually all eReaders, Kindles, iPhones, iPads, Android, Tablets, PC’s, and MAC’s.
I have a 4-year old MacBook Air that I love and have been waiting with bated breath for a new Air with a Sky Lake or Kaby Lake processor. My 2012 Mac has about a 6 hour battery life and I love typing on it.
The current Mac Air’s have a 12 hour life and that’s not bad but the 6th or 7th generation CPU’s should extend the battery life to about 16 hours. That would be awesome!
Currently with my Mac I can go all day without charging it but will usually top it up once or twice a day just in case. It is so nice not to have to bring a charger along with me, when I head out the door.
Alyson Discovers the Glory Hole (30,000 Words) is on sale now through the middle of next week 2-November-2016 for 99 cents, regularly $2.99. This story is currently the only one I have that is in Amazon’s Adult Dungeon, assuming I can get The Watchers paroled.
This sale is an experiment on trying to determine the effect of having a story ranked “Adult” does for sales. About the only way you can find the story on Amazon is to actually know the title as being ranked Adult removes the story from the search engine.
My latest book, The Watchers, had a cover that was apparently too risque for Amazon’s taste and got the book thrown under the bus. If you are a writer of erotica, then you’ve probably ran across this problem.
I really thought the cover would pass Amazon’s muster but apparently not. I’ve put both covers up for your opinions. The new one is at the upper left of this post and the original further down.
It’s bad with Amazon as they give you no reasons for placing you in the Adult Dungeon and never tell you when they do it. You have to continually check your books rating to be sure that they are marked as “Safe” and not “Adult.”
