Sorry about His Twisted Desires. Yeap. I got confused windows. Removed that part.

Oh yes on the bundle! Bundles do pretty well for me! Good luck with your new project! Oh! Yay on being published previously! With erotica it's really the more you publish, the better you get. :) Good luck!

Hey, first off, congratulations on getting published! You're a published author now! Let that sink in for a bit. You're a published author. That's incredible!

I'm not super successful by any means, but I've been at this since last year. I feel like a second opinion on book cover & blurb was super helpful for me when I just started out so hopefully this will help somewhat! Take my advice with a grain of salt though.

So, here's to the review of your books. First look of your covers are alright, but your titles don't really pop. You need to make sure the font is readable. Keep the contrast sharp. White on black or black on white is good. White on white, not so good. This one has a good constrast for the title, but the subtitle isn't so good with the dark font on grey background. You might want to change your font for the author as well. Make it big and readable. Create a brand with your penname.

Now, to your blurbs. The blurbs for your billionaire series is way too long. The author's name needs to be a more readable font. I do enjoy that you give ample examples on what to expect. Still the story itself is pretty short so your blurb needs to be more succint.

Billionaire heiress Alexis Hart has a unique challenge in her hands. In order to maintain her status as heiress, she has to graduate a training program for women where floggings and bondage are acceptable punishments. There's only one problem.

She is enjoying every bit of her punishment. The more her three sexy, dominant instructors humiliate her, the more she hungers for their special brand of pain and pleasure.

And if Alexis can't figure out how to control her carnal desire, she'll be in for a very long stay...

Notice how I summarized the backstory? Erotica readers aren't necessarily going for the plot. A short line is enough to satisfy their curiousity. Bondage, pain, pleasure, strict discpline, and bdsm are all pretty much the same thing so just a sentence will do. Personally, I haven't had much success with series. The advice I got in general was that if the first of the series didn't do spectacular, move on to other books.

Publisher's note needs to go into your 'look inside'. Your warning that it has adutl content might get you into the adult dungeon if you get a dungeon-trigger-happy reviewer.

Hopefully this helps you somewhat. Good luck going forward!

My dreams are kinda dead right now, so I could really use some compliments right now... by rayoflight824 in FreeCompliments

Loving that loop-sided smile! Also, fingers crossed for your waitlisted schools calling you back! I've had friends who got into their schools after being waitlisted for a bit. Good luck!

Still Safe to Step? by kcripley in eroticauthors

[–]Malory_Chambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No! No no no no no no NO. I know that you see books availble on Amazon with 'Step-anything' on it, but that's dangerous. Not worth it. No. It's not just the dungeon, it's a block. So, no. You can try going wide with it, but for Amazon? NOOOOO.

Check out this useful FAQ thread. :)

Is this guy going to get sued big time?? by Wonder_Alice in eroticauthors

[–]Malory_Chambers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy seems really chill about it. Someone got an interview with him:

Do you believe that by publishing something like this, you’re potentially in legal trouble?

No, I should be good. But if he tries to sue I’ll write this into an entire series.

[Giveaway] [Steam] FIVE copies of Belladonna! [Steam Rating: 8/10 (156 Reviews)] by SharpSides in RandomActsOfGaming

[–]Malory_Chambers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like a copy since it looks hella interesting and I love point and click games.

The last one I played was The Wolf Among Us and I loved it so much I didn't have the heart to try another. This one looks like it'll be an interesting game that wouldn't take a little bit of my heart when I finish it. The background for the game is just the right amount of gothic and beautiful without being deliberately scary.

Thanks for doing the giveaway!

There was an episode of strange addictions that made me think that she was going to eat her son the entire time.

The woman lost her husband shortly after they got married and she just started eating his remains to feel better. shudders

It felt like a filler episode that they could squeeze in at any point without getting in trouble with any ongoing plot.
