Survey / Listen to steamy poems online
2009.03.04 12:07:02

I've been pondering how dreams and fiction are interrelated. I'd appreciate it if you'd take my survey – only  three quick multiple choice questions.  Results are anonymous.

 

Also, I shared a couple of my short erotic poems on The SpeakEasy Cafe  recently. You can listen to the archive at http://tinyurl.com/IGonSE. I'm on 20 minutes into the show. Best not to listen while at work or with kids around.

I've set up an author profile on Goodreads. Would love to have some fans or friends there. Perhaps you would like to check it out.

There's Erotic fan and BDSM discussion groups, but they only have twelve and  five members so far.  Would be great to see more.

I've also succumbed to the bird's call. If you're on Twitter, feel free to follow me.

Best.

Thank you all

Thanks you so much. Those of you who voted for my work in the Preditors & Editors poll, I really appreciate your support.

Shattered was named in the top ten novels in the erotica category and Broken came in number 12 (out of almost 100 entries) in the mainstream category. Also, my short story, "If you love someone" made the top ten in the romance category.

Broken and Shattered are available from Relatively Wilde, or can be ordered from Powells.

"If you love someone" is available for only 99 cents (along with three other of my short stories) here at Ravenous Romance .

Yesterday, I learned that Powell’s will carry my novels, Broken and Shattered.

The Nazca Plains Corporation, the small press that published them, delivered books to me last August, barely more than a month after I signed the contract.  Normally, with a traditional publisher, that’s a one- to two- year process.

But the distribution network works at the same snail’s pace regardless of how fast books come off the presses.  The novels weren’t even available for most bookstores to order until mid-November. According to the website, Powell’s is accepting preorders for May.

So my books have only been available to folks who know me and those who found out about my novels via my website, mailing list, My Space profile, or stumbled across listings by the publisher, Relatively Wilde, or Amazon.

The owner of Relatively Wilde has been very supportive, carrying my books even though he mostly sells non-fiction, and working with me on promotions. I have seen my books for sale as part of his displays at a number of events in the past several months.

But, knowing I will be able to walk into Powell’s (where I can and regularly do get lost in the stacks) and see my books on the shelf, has given me a thrill. All authors dream of seeing their published work on display where anyone can purchase it. That, and all the wonderful comments/reviews by folks who have read the books so far, make it easier to keep writing despite rejection and hardship.

Normally my first blog post in a new forum would be introductory, but I need your help and I've got a tight deadline. (I promise the introduction next time.)
