I get asked how to go about getting published in the erotic market almost weekly – usually via private email. I have faithfully answered all those emails over the last few years, despite there already being a lengthy article on the site that answers the question exactly and in detail. (“How To Break Into The […]

Because Indie Legacy Published Books Are Full of Typos Indie authors have permanently scarred psyches. They know their books are going to be scrutinized for errors, typos, grammar mistakes, and the most obscure misinterpretations of the English language possible…all to be held up in the air by some rabid indie-critic who will declare triumphantly in

My erotic urban fantasy MMF romance, Blood Knot, has been nominated for vampire book of the year by the reviewers at The Romance Reviews. Now the voting begins. Yes, I’m trawling for votes — as this is a “book of the year” vote rather than a book of the week, or weekend or month, or
