(UPDATE: Angela's Last Resort 2 is up! :-) )
I've got lots of exciting news to share, but first, I think I've finally got my Amazon ebook fiasco under control.
I've got lots of exciting news to share, but first, I think I've finally got my Amazon ebook fiasco under control.
Angela's Last Resort 1 & 2 have been resubmitted to Amazon now, though only Angela's Last Resort 1 has gone live so far. But ALR2 should be up in another day or so, and I'll update this post with links.
Also, I've had to resubmit this month's ebook, The Doll, as The Living Doll, with a new cover and title, as well as slight changes to the book description. This new cover and title will only appear on Amazon, as I'm leaving the original big-boob cover on B&N, Smashwords, and Kobo.
I really like the original cover, though the new one shows off the whole Mannequin-transformation thing quite well, I think.
New, Boob-light Cover |
Old, Big Boob Cover |
I've rewrote most of the book descriptions of my entire catalog on Amazon, to minimize the chance of further issues in the future.
The biggest change I've had to make was to my gender transformation / forced crossdressing story Pledge Week Revenge: Sissy Makover. I've changed the title to the much simpler Panty Raider's Punishment, and given it a less objectionable cover. (The original showed too much skin, apparently)

In more exciting and related news, a well-known erotica author, Selena Kitt, has launched a new erotic ebook site called Excitica.com (Details at Selena Kitt's blog: HERE)
Like my own recent problems, she has had to deal with the major ebook distribution sites, like Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Smashwords, and so on, trying to censor her books. Amazon especially is cracking down harder and harder these days, and constantly changing what they consider allowable content, with no clear indication as to their actual policies.
Selena Kitt's new Excitica site promises to allow practically anything, with no fears of censorship. At the moment it is still under beta, and busy trying to work out bugs. But apparently it will fully launch sometime later in the year.
Since I haven't been able to get onto the site proper, many of the details are still unknown to me, but overall the site sounds like a great idea, for myself and erotica writers everywhere. Once the site is up and going, I fully plan to join up and publish all my stories there, as well as at Amazon, Smashwords, and B&N.
I do know that this site is much better set up for erotica, with lots of useful categories in place, for just about every common fetish out there.
And this new site is supposed to pay out at around 60% price, a bit lower than Amazon, but not bad. Even better, it will pay 60% even for ebooks under $2.99, so I might finally be able to put up some short stories for $0.99. Whereas Amazon drops to 35% for books under $2.99.
All in all, I can't wait for the site to fully launch, and start selling ebooks there. I've had a lot of ideas that are just too out-there for Amazon or any of the normal distribution sites. But this new site sounds like just the place to try some of them out, and see how they go over.
Also, I'm roughly 70% done with my new ebook, which will have lots of piercings, and some nice big breast enlargement for you all to enjoy. Thanks for visiting! :-)

This sounds like a good idea especially the royalties for the $0.99 stories, however do they have the readership that Amazon have or as its specialised will the readership be more specific
ReplyDeleteThe links still seem to be faulty, not a glowing endorsement :-(
ReplyDeleteExcitica isn't going fully online for another several months; it may be that Selina Kitt only let it go live for a few days to see if any bugs propped up, ect. Now that that phase is done, she might not bring the site up until it's official launch date later this year. ~shrugs~
