New Story Coming this Week!

Oy! It's been hard to find time to write anything with all this back end stuff going on (I know, I know - that's what she said). Seriously, though, it's kind of hard to build an audience of raunchy smut lovers when you can barely get your product to them.

Fortunately, however, I was able to find some time this week to put the finishing touches on my newest Daddy, Daughter Discipline story. Here's the cover. Is that a great ass or what?


As you may have come to expect, it's the story of a spoiled, conniving brat who finds out the hard way not to toy with her hardcore step. It's a poignant story of a girl who gets punished, popped and pounded by her doting pop.

Ah...I'm such a wordsmith.

I'll have it out this weekend on Smashwords, B&N and Excitica! Stay Tuned!

Hugs and Kisses,

Val

Getting Down with Excitica.com

I know a lot of people aren't aware of Excitica.com, so I though I'd give you a little inside information. As those of you who read the more hardcore romance or erotica know, it's getting harder and harder to find what you want on the major marketplaces due to content and keyword filters. In response, an author-driven store has been formed to give readers a safe place to purchase more extreme material.

Authors like it because it looks good, provides proper anonymity, pays fast and has almost no set boundaries on content.

Readers like it because it allows simple downloading, anonymous account settings and a wide range of romance and erotica all in one place.



I hope you'll end up checking it out, because little sites like this may become the only option in the future for people who write more taboo books like the one above (over 18 Daughter / Stepfather Pseudo-incest), which was recently banned on 'zon for being "pornographic." Oh, by the way, did you know what else you can buy on Amazon?

Fucking pornography like this

Or this

Keep in mind. This is REAL porn that uses REAL people, and Amazon is perfectly happy taking their cut from its sale. But a work of erotic fiction? No way.

So I hope you'll all consider shopping at places like Excitica, Smashwords, and - for the time being - Barnes and Noble

After all, I have a lot of smut left to write, and I need a place to put it. ; )

Peace,

Val

Frank Talk About The Future of Finding Smut

As a friendly note to all of you Kink-lovers who currently shop at Amazon, 'the zon' is waging a secret war on virtually all erotica, especially anything that has to do with PI, Mind Control or other more taboo kinks. While there's still plenty of good old smut up there to be found, myself and my fellow authors are becoming more and more convinced that the company will eventually purge anything that doesn't fall into a traditional "Romance" category from its hallowed halls.

So I suggest becoming familiar with the following sites ASAP!

Smashwords - Pretty close to anything goes here, and the prices are usually extremely fair. It's not the greatest database to navigate, but you can usually find what you want rather easily through keyword and author searches.

Excitica - The new kid on the block. Author-owned and run, the only thing that may turn people off here is the front page, where romance and Twilight-type stuff sits right along PI, BI and Rape Fantasy stuff. But if you ignore it and start searching, you'll see the selection is very broad (light romance to the nastiest of the nasty) and it is all conveniently-rated based on Heat (1-5).

Barnes & Noble - The erotica section at B&N is completely insane for a national retailer. Whatever glorious Libertarian is running that company has bowed to absolutely no pressure regarding their smut because practically anything goes here.

 
So while I'm still planning on publishing like a sexy little bunny rabbit in 2016, I hope you'll understand if I get ahead of the curve and ditch Amazon as a distributor.  You can still get my books in kindle format, epub or whatever you'd like, it just won't be from the actual Kindle store!

Oh, and one last final note. Below is the first cover I've come up with for my brand new "Horny Hypnotist" series. It combines my love of PI and 1st Time Brats with  male POV and some delicious Mind Control.

I'd mark your calendars for later this month!

Shiny New Website...

Hi everybody!

I've been slowly increasing my publishing presence on both Smashwords and Barnes and Noble this month, but I wanted to find a place where we could safely communicate as well. Go ahead and favorite this page if you're looking for updates on books, specials, freebies and other naughty tidbits.

Thanks!
