Unavoidable is Part 1 of the Royal Affair trilogy. It's not very often that a book has me squeaking and hugging myself with glee while reading it, a huge sappy smile on my face as I savour every delicious page. Unavoidable is that book. Everything about it is fantastic; I found myself rooting for Princess Lucy from the very first page, from her obvious unhappiness at the role she is trapped in by her birthright, to her desire to be more than just the figurehead role for her p

Full title: Let’s Get Digital; How To Self-Publish, And Why You Should by David Gaughran I’m going to preface this review by saying that I have about a hundred books on self-publishing, being an indie author, writing to market, writing methods and marketing your writing. I’ve been looking for the definitive work to recommend to other authors considering self-publishing, just starting out on that road of discovery I’ve been stumbling along for a year or so now. I think I just

I can thank this book for one thing only. And that is, my new-found resolution NEVER to agree to review a book without having previewed it or seen excerpts first. I’m not sure what book the other reviewers were reading. It certainly wasn’t the same one I did. (One of them is talking about Arthur. There is definitely no Arthur in this book.) Frankly, this book reads like someone read Fifty Shades Of Grey and made a porno parody movie, and then someone ELSE saw that porno parod

After the shitshow that was the last book I had to read for review - and another dreadful one I haven't managed to get up the mental fortitude to review yet - I needed something to cleanse the palate. Some GOOD erotica, by an author I've learned to trust to get it right. So seeing that Leah Pink had released another in her Anonymous Adventures series about a sex scenario tester, I dived in with happy anticipation, and was not disappointed. Indebted is the scorching-hot fourth

I purchased this book from Amazon as part of an author exchange group - we each agreed to purchase the other's similarly-priced books in the erotica genre, and then review. I got this book and one other I'll review in a day or so, when I've gathered the mental fortitude to do so. I agonized for quite a while over whether I should just not do the review at all, because I've always been raised by the adage "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything." But then... I see

Interestingly, the Amazon title doesn’t even appear on the front cover of the book, which appears to be called Facebook Marketing (a much catchier and snappier title). Maybe that should have been my first warning that I was about to waste $3. This book does indeed provide 200 Facebook groups for book promotion. That's the only reason I'm giving it even ONE star. I can't imagine any book that could be promoted on all of them. Some of them are specialist groups and a fair numbe

Getting your book reviewed by a popular book blogger is a dream for any author, but for indie authors it can seem like yet another insurmountable hurdle on the road to 'cracking the market'. Let's face it, getting your book reviewed at all is an uphill struggle if you're an erotica writer. A lot of reviewers don't necessarily want all and sundry to know about their occasional kinky reading habits. Self-promotion can suck up a lot of hours you really wish you could devote to w

This is a really, really excellent book on how to get started in self-publishing erotica. The author doesn't go into a great deal of detail regarding the actual how of writing, though she does lay out a quick and easy 'format' to use for stories of 4-8,000 words, and she talks about the importance of editing, making a great cover and writing good blurbs. The book also covers the tools that the author uses to write and gather ideas, including Scrivener and Evernote, how to pre
