Free Erotica - Free eBook - Today and Friday!

It was a great summer, and you might have noticed, I wasn't around much. Just too much fun stuff to do outdoors. Of course, it is always summer in Hawaii!

But I am back to work - and I have a new book that I decided to put on Amazon's Select program. I was curious how giving away free books help a writer. Consider this an experiment.

If you click on the book cover, you can go to Amazon and order His Obsession, Her Submission Free today and Friday.

What is the story about?

Since high school, wealthy, powerful Daniel Stoddard’s one obsession was to possess Kristy Collins as his submissive. He now has the power to take what he wants.

When Kristy goes to her high school reunion, she expects to see geeky Danny Stoddard – the brainy kid with severe acne, who looked years younger than his classmates. While she knew he was now successful and rich, she had no idea he had grown into an incredibly handsome and sexy man, who isn’t shy about taking what he wants. What he wants is Kristy.

Breeding Erotica

Breeding Stock is one of my newer stories. It is a fanciful historic erotica, where our lovely young virgin is taken by pirates and sold on the auction block, to be used as breeding stock.

Such a sweet and naughty tale.

Remember, you can find my eBooks at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords - along with a variety of other eBook sites, such as Sony and iTune.

If you find one, yet not all of my eBooks at your eBook vendor's site, chances are my other books are on the way, and will be there soon.

Happy reading!

Top 100 Erotica at Amazon

I am proud to say my story, Breeding the Princess has made the top 100 list under erotica over at Amazon - in Books and the Kindle Store.

I've three reviews, all over the place. Two four stars, and one one star.

It was interesting, because one of the four star reviews and the one star both came from reviewers familiar with my work, and who've given me favorable reviews. The one star pretty much thought the story sucked, while the four star claimed to love the story and characters.

The other four star was rather interesting. She pointed out there were a few minor errors in the story. She wrote " none of them amounted to more than minor annoyances." Well, I do apologize for those errors. This morning I reedited the book and just finished reloading the files on the various sites. The new file is already on Smashwords, yet will probably take 24 hours before it shows up on Barnes and Noble and Amazon. It usually takes a week or so before the other sites get the corrected file.

The reviewer which pointed out the errors, called it a "Surprisingly Sweet" story and wrote "Overall this is an enjoyable read, which is somewhere between erotica and erotic romance. It has less sex and more tenderness than most erotica, despite the harsh premise of the story."

But the reviewer also noted that if she had the ability, she would have docked the score 1/2 star for the minor errors, and the fact she felt the description was misleading. She also considered the ending rushed, whereas the other four star review didn't feel the ending was rushed.

I would like my reviewers to know I really appreciate your honest reviews - even those that take me to task. And I understand not all stories will appeal to all readers. If just one reader loves my story, I am tickled. Of course, there is no excuse to let the errors stand, so I do apologize for those, and hope I caught them all.

Thanks! Maggie

Love Me or Hate Me

In my last post I discussed how a reviewer loved my story, Masked. Sadly, the same reviewer rather hated my newest (and most popular) story, Breeding the Princess.

Tasty Cake wrote, "this was a really stupid dull story this was a waste of money the ending was awful this was one of the worst books ive read in a while"     Ouch.

I might be feeling really awful about now, except for an earlier reviewer I received from  MidnightAtticReader, who wrote: "An imaginative short story with a sweet ending. I loved the characters! The idea for this story could have been used for a much longer, full-length story, but I felt the story was nicely encapsulated as it is, without feeling rushed. Nice quick read." 

I would like to point out, I do not know these two reviewers, nor have I ever contacted them, other than mentioning them on this blog. Both have reviewed more than one of my stories.

My feelings aren't hurt nor am I annoyed with Tasty Cake, because I totally get how my stories will not appeal to all readers. I think this is especially true with erotica.

I have a friend who reads my stories - yet I try to guide her to specific titles, that I think she will like. She happened to love Breeding the Princess, yet I am fairly sure she would hate The Bargain - which happened to receive a five star over on Goodreads. Also from a reviewer who I do not know personally, nor have ever contacted.

Remember - you can find my most recent titles at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords. Smashwords distributes them to other eBook venders, such as Sony and Apple, yet there is often a lag.

Recent Reader Reviews

This morning I discovered a very flattering 5 star review for one of my recent releases, Masked.

The reviewer wrote: this was a hot sexy read I am so tired about reading about girls losing their virginity than turning into sluts but not this girl she was a little confused about her life but she changed and she found love. i really liked this if i could give it 10 stars i would.

Her handle (assuming it is a female) is “tasty cake.” It sounded familiar, so I looked at some of her other reviews, and realized she reviewed one of my other books, Carter’s Niece, also leaving a 5 star. I was very flattered.

 Before my head got too big, I came across a recent one star review for my book Master’s Virgin Slut.

That reviewer wrote: Short tale about a girl who becomes a sex slave. First, I don't like BDSM books. However, I do enjoy a little bit of force and seduction in my romance tales. Well, there is nothing romantic or even sexy about this one. And I wouldn't really classify this as erotica either because the sex just wasn't that good.

I’m not too upset. I totally get how a reader looking for a romantic sexy tale would be unsatisfied with Master’s Virgin Slut. Some of my stories are heavier on the romance than others. Those who don’t get their buttons pushed with total submission and humiliation should avoid Master’s Virgin Slut. My stories with more romance include: Breeding Jenna, Breeding the Princess, While She Slept, The Widow and One Time Call Girl – to mention a few.

Breeding Jenna

It is interesting how some stories just take off like wildfire. This past weekend I released my newest book, Breeding Jenna. It is an erotic tale of a man determined to force his stepsister to marry him.

It is selling well at Amazon, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble - selling immediately after it hit the cyber bookshelves.

Unlike some of my darker - more brutal tales - this one is bittersweet.

The story begins after the Civil War. James hates his stepfather, Ben Parker, and for good reason - but after James' mother dies, Parker needs his stepson's help, and persuades him to stay by offering up the ranch.

Years pass - the stepfather dies - yet the old man double crosses his stepson, and leaves the ranch to James' stepsister, Jenna Parker.

One way James can get the ranch is to marry Jenna, but she is not cooperative. James then decides he'll force the issue by putting a baby in her belly - which he is determined to do, even if he has to tie her up.

Look for Breeding Jenna at your eBook store. 

Vampire Sex

Some writers experience writer's block - I get creative overload. I walked away from my western to complete the Barhaven's Vampire Trilogy, which has been haunting my psyche for some time.

The trilogy is available in eBook format. They are all available at Smashwords. You will find the first two in the series at Amazon, with the third popping up by tomorrow. I've published all three at Barnes and Noble, yet none are yet showing up.  Other eBook venues, such as Apple, should get the books in a few weeks, because I use Smashwords distribution for those sites.

Begin with Seduction, which tells the story of Caroline Barhaven who returns to her family home, only to discover she is hunted by two vampires - for  two different reasons.

The second of the series is Lust, which tells of Caroline's dark journey of sexual adventure - where pleasure and pain becomes one.

The final book in the series is Surrender, where Caroline learns to master her new gifts, while surrendering to her new life as a Creature of Lust.

The story won't end there. I am planning a fourth book, which is not part of the trilogy, but tells the story of the Demon Victor and Vampire Seri.

For all you erotic vampire fans out there, I hope you enjoy the books!
