Hot Spankings, Rayanna Jameson and Corbin's Bend -Together They're A Perfect Partnership

I'm thrilled to have Rayanna Jameson with me today to talk about her latest spanking romance A Perfect Partnership, part of the wildly popular Corbin's Bend series.  For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of visiting there, Corbin's Bend is an exclusive Colorado community dedicated to the DD lifestyle. For now, it exists only in the pages of the Corbin's Bend books.  But maybe some day...

Rayanna, can you tell us a little about your new release?
A Perfect Partnership is the second to the last book in the second season of Corbin's Bend. It takes a background character from my second Love Multiplied book, and plunks him down in Corbin's Bend. It was a lot of fun exploring how DD was practiced differently between the two communities.

Displaying perfectpartnershipcover-rj.jpg
Josiah Jefferson left the polygamist community he grew up in to make a new home in Corbin's Bend. He wanted to find the one  woman he could love and spank for the rest of his life. When a summer storm blows beautiful Lannea Paulsen into his life, he sees it as fate and never looks back.
Lannea Paulsen, better known as Laney to everyone but the stubborn Josiah, has had two goals since she moved to Corbin's Bend last year. Save enough money to buy half of The Ginger Paddle, the sushi restaurant she runs with her cousin, and find a strong dominant man who is willing and ready to take her in hand in every way possible.
When Laney puts the business in jeopardy, Josiah comes to the rescue. One thing leads to another and they find themselves in a tumultuous platonic  DD relationship. Sparks fly  as they both refuse to admit the depth of their true feelings. Will they settle for less than they desire or will they chase after everything they have ever wanted?

Here's a little peek -
Excuse me, Ma’am, Miss?” Josiah saw his opening, and took it. “Is everything okay? I couldn’t help but notice that you seem rather upset.” He crossed to the bottom of the steps in two long strides and peered up at her.
“I’m fine!” she cried, refusing to look at him.
He raised his eyebrows, contemplating his next step. These rumors he had always heard about redheads having the worst tempers, were undoubtedly true, if he counted tonight’s events as evidence. She was the second redhead tonight to yell at him in the span of twenty minutes, regardless of the fact that he was a perfect stranger and a cop to boot! And all he had done was offer his assistance! He chuckled to himself. Truth be told, he wasn’t turned off by her apparent attitude. To the contrary. This woman needed a spanking in the worst way, and somehow, someday, he vowed that he would be the one to give it to her.
“Okay, then, if you’re fine, I’ll be on my way,” he said cheerfully, spinning on his heel, and turning in the direction of his cop car.
“No-Wait!” He could hear her sigh in frustration over having to ask him for help.
“Yes?” He questioned, with a smirk over his shoulder at her, still heading towards his car.
“Hey! You asked if you could help! I said yes! Why are you getting in your car?” She ran down the steps to catch up with him, just as he opened the driver’s side door and got in. “You’re really something- you know that? You ask if I need help, and then, you get in your car and leave! Fine! Whatever! I don’t need your help anyway! Just go-you-you big jerk!”
She attempted to slam his door shut, but Josiah grabbed her wrist, amused at her little rant. She was seriously close to seeing the error of her ways.
“One- I asked if you needed help, and you declined my help. In fact, not only did you refuse me, but you yelled at me, which might I add, is incredibly rude to do to anyone who offers you help, but especially to someone you just met.”
“Let go of me!” Laney yelled, attempting to break away from his grasp. “It’s also incredibly rude to grab onto people you just met! Let go, now you big oaf! Or- Or- I’ll call the cops!”
Josiah quirked his brow at her. “I am the cops,” he told her evenly. “Did you not notice my spiffy blue uniform or this fancy white car with lights on top?” He couldn’t hide the amusement in his voice as Laney stood there sputtering. She had no response for that one, so he continued. “Number two- I’m not stupid. It’s obvious, even to a big jerk like me, that you left your keys somewhere. I’m guessing in your car, which judging by the fact that you came home in a cab, and you’re a little bit tipsy, is at a bar somewhere. Now, my shift is rather quiet tonight, so, I’m offering you a ride to get your keys. Now, get in the car. Unless of course, you want to wait for your cousin to get home, from her restaurant which someone apparently forgot to lock up properly tonight, causing the doors to blow open in the storm, causing a cop to come knocking on their door at eleven o ‘clock at night, just in time to see your cousin in the corner with a very red bottom. In case you can’t guess, she’s more than a little mad at you, and she should be pulling in any moment. So, unless you’d really like to be here for that shit-storm, I suggest you get in the car.”

Renee Rose's Hot Knight for a Cold Night - The Conquered Brides Collection

Here's a treat for all of us!  Renee Rose is joining me today with her just-released erotic romance The Knight's Seduction, part of a hot new box set featuring five top spanking story authors.

Kallista, thank you so much for having me here today!  I was lucky to be part of a new medieval spanking romance box set with authors Sue Lyndon, Ashe Barker, Korey Mae Johnson and Dinah McLeod.  

All the stories begin with the sacking of Hohenzollern Castle, when the heroines of the books are carried off by the conquering knights.  My story follows Lady Daisy, a young woman who suffered a terrible fate when her castle had been sacked years ago, and now is terrified to be with a man. Her new husband, has a very coaxing, yet still dominant way with her.  They strike a bargain--she must give her body over to his seduction and he will not consummate the marriage until she begs him for it. Certain she will never do such a thing, she agrees. 
Here’s a scene with the two of them:

She turned her face away. She would go hungry before she let him feed her again.
“Do you want that spanking here, Daisy?”
Her bottom automatically clenched at the word spanking, and hot tingles crawled across her cheeks as if he had already delivered a few stinging blows. Maddeningly, a drip of moisture caressed her folds, dampening her skirt below. Dearest Virgin, what if it soaked through her skirts and he felt it on his thigh? She tried to shift, but he held her too close to move.
Why did he have this effect on her? She’d become all quivery, her body trembling, her breath short. She would never forgive him if he spanked her in public. His ability to stir such responses angered her further. She pressed her lips together to keep from snapping that she hated him.
He lifted the bowl again.
She had no choice but to drink from it.
“Good girl,” he said.
Her sex pulsed. She watched the bowl approach, as if in slow motion. Her rational self tried to stop the impulse, but it was too late. She shocked them both by sinking her teeth into the meat of his thumb, cutting through skin and tasting blood. She released it as quickly as her jaws had snapped, and looked at him in horror, knowing she’d just gone too far.
He had jerked in surprise, slopping porridge down the front of her dress, but strangely, he made no sound—no roar of surprise, nor angry tirade.
She waited, trembling like a leaf, for him to upend her in front of the entire castle and give her the promised public spanking. Had that been her goal? Impossible—it was too horrible to even contemplate. And yet, if not, why had she baited the bear, so to speak? 

The Conquered Brides Collection
When the castle they called home is besieged and ultimately falls, five women are captured and carried off as wives by their foes. Will they be treated as no more than the spoils of war, or can their new lords prove themselves worthy of the love and submission of their conquered brides?

The Conquered Brides is a five-book collection featuring brand-new titles from five top erotic romance authors.

The Knight’s Seduction by Renee Rose
Avowed to never again yield to a man’s ill-treatment, Lady Daisy stands ready to fight to the death when her castle is sacked. The imposing knight Sir Barrett has other ideas, however, and to her dismay, Daisy soon finds herself not only disarmed, but soundly spanked as well. Sir Barrett takes her as his captive bride, but when she shows real terror at the prospect of consummating their marriage, he offers her a bargain. She will offer her body to him and accept the pleasurable torments he inflicts, but he will not claim her fully until she aches for it so badly she begs him. Certain she will do no such thing, Daisy agrees, but can she resist the knight's seduction?

Publisher’s Note: The Conquered Brides contains spankings, sexual scenes, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.


Renee Rose is a naughty author and kinkster who loves writing about hot alpha males, Dominance/submission and power exchanges. Named Eroticon USA's Next Top Erotic Author in 2013, her books are all centered around kink. She can be found on:

Captured and Examined - Red Hot Author's Cafe Presents the Cold Nights Hot Reads Blog Tour

It's definitely going to be a COLD night across most of America tonight.  Lucky for you, we've gotten together the steamiest authors around for a blog hop that will keep you HOT all weekend!  Be sure to register for the $125 Rafflecopter prize, along with a $10 Amazon gift card you can win from me just for leaving a comment at the end of this post.

I'm kicking it off with a sweaty scene from Captured and Examined, my new erotic romance, a blend of science fiction, adventure and time travel with lots of spanking and even some hot medical play.  It's been on Amazon's Top 100 list for almost two months now.

In this scene, Tess O'Rourke, who has unwittingly been transported from 1826 to the present day, is on the run from her captors, guarded by NATO Special Forces Commander Connall Quinn.

He's just rescued her from a room full of scientists who were performing a series of humiliating medical tests on her.

Quinn grabbed her and spread her out on the bed.  His hands were everywhere at once, caressing her, stroking, teasing.  When he slid one finger easily into her tight opening, she was shocked at how wet her pussy was, how quickly her body responded to him.  

He kissed his way along her stomach and belly until his mouth fastened on that secret spot that drove her wild with desire.  Tess moaned as he licked her clit, opening her legs wide and thrusting her hips up into his face.  He got on his knees, grabbing her ass with both hands to lift her off the bed as he slid his tongue into her pussy.
            Tess whimpered, writhing around.  “Will you - will you do…”  Her voice trailed off.
            Quinn lifted his head.  “What would you like me to do?”
            “’Tis wicked it is,” she answered.  Suddenly shy, she wouldn’t meet his eyes.   “Wicked and naughty.”
            His eyes gleamed.  “I like it already.  Tell me what you want, sweet Tess.  Tell me and I’ll do it.”
            “Those men.  The doctors.  They put their fingers and…and things…into my bottom hole.  I was embarrassed.  It frightened me and it hurt at first.  But when they kept on, it made me quiver deep inside, like it does when you put your fingers and your tongue and your stiff rod into my pussy.  I didn’t want them to do it.  I couldn’t stop them.  But ever since I can’t get the feeling of it out of my mind.  I’ve been thinking, wondering, imagining how it would be if you…did that…to me.  The way you do all the other things.  Kissing me, fondling me while you do it.  Making me wild, making me want more and more.”
            “Will you…” she hesitated, as though gathering her courage, and went on.  “Will you touch me there, so that ever after I’ll have memories of you to banish the memories of them?”
            “You want me to play with your ass?”  His voice was low.  “Ask me, Tess.  Say it.  It’s not wicked…but you’re right.  It is naughty.” 
            She froze, then heard his low chuckle and realized he was teasing her. 
            “Please, Quinn, will you do it?  There?”
            “Where?  Tell me where you want me to pleasure you.  Tell me – or I’ll have to spank it out of you.”
            His voice had taken on a stern tone that sent a thrill through her whole body.
            “Please, Quinn, will you put your finger…in my ass?”
            The words had barely left her lips when she felt herself being flipped over onto her stomach.  Quinn draped himself over her body, pinning her down.  His mouth began nibbling on her neck, just below her ear.  The spot was so sensitive she didn’t think she could bear it.  She gasped and wiggled around.  He shifted, moving lower.  She shivered as his tongue traced a leisurely path down her spine, igniting a fire everywhere it touched. 
When his mouth reached the cleft between her bottom cheeks, she began struggling underneath him.
“No, stop.  Please.  I’ve changed my mind.  ‘Tis shameful and indecent.”

“Too late.  Now you’ve got me wanting this.  Lay there, Tess.  Don’t you dare move.  You’re going to get what you asked for.”

Blurb

When her father tries to force her to marry fat, old, drunken Owen Leary to preserve the family lands, Tess O’Rourke runs away from home. She gets lost on the heath in the midst of a ferocious storm and loses consciousness, only to awaken in a cave, naked and shivering, staring into the eyes of a handsome stranger. To her dismay, the man questions her in an unfamiliar language and then spanks her bare bottom when she tries to run away.

After computers all over Europe are hit with a crippling attack, Quinn, an ex-Navy SEAL now working for NATO’s cyber-terrorism squad, is dispatched to the Irish coastline in search of the problem’s source. It is there that he discovers a naked Irish lass hiding in a cave near an ancient stone outcropping.  After she attacks him and attempts to flee, he brings the defiant girl back to his headquarters with a well-spanked bottom. Once there, his medical team conducts a thorough examination, leaving his captive deeply humiliated and even more determined to escape.  Quinn has no intention of letting her go until he gets the truth, but Tess speaks only Gaelic and seems to know nothing of modern day life, and hard as it is for him to believe, over time Quinn becomes convinced that she has somehow been transported from the past.

With each passing day his feelings for the feisty redhead grow stronger, and when he discovers that his superiors plan to lock her up indefinitely and study her like a lab rat, Quinn risks everything to rescue her. But can he keep her safe long enough to unravel the mystery that brought her into his life?

Spankings And Hot Medical Play - Adaline Raine's Medic Of Brighton Creek



Spanking in a snowstorm with some hot medical play to warm up afterwards?  This is the perfect weekend to curl up with Adaline Raine's new release The Medic of Brighton Creek.  Addie, thanks for dropping in during your book tour.  Please tell us more about your latest book.


Hi  Kallista! Thank you so much for letting me stop by. I'm touring for my new release, The Medic of Brighton Creek.


In the snippet below Mikayla is trying to keep things away from Sam.  She does this a lot, but he lets her know in no uncertain terms that he will follow through with his promise.
He does get a bit confused throughout the story, mostly because his 'Mickie' sends him mixed signals. It starts out with Mikayla speaking.

Be sure to stop by http://brattyadaline.blogspot.com/2015/01/medictour.html to see all the stops along the way. I'm giving away free books as well as sharing snippets and chatting about all sorts of things!

Here's an excerpt -

I don’t want it to be so simple, because then I have to face my feelings. You’re right again, I’m sorry. I’ve been horribly disrespectful to you.”
I promise when I get you over my lap that you’ll feel properly attended to. You can stop poking now.”
Why do you always have the answer? If I had just listened to you in the first place—” Her voice caught as a wave of emotion hit her and tears started down her cheeks. “I’m so stupid.”
You’re not stupid!” Sam flashed angry eyes at her, making it clear how he felt about her put down. “Geesh, Mickie, how come you can’t just follow what you feel for once, instead of finding every reason in the world not to do something?”

Blurb

Returning to her hometown for her best friend’s wedding, Mikayla Turner doesn’t expect to run into her teenage crush, handsome paramedic Sam Brighton, within a matter of moments. But after her car runs off the road in a snowstorm, she seeks help at the nearest house and is shocked when it is Sam who answers the door—still as sexy as she remembers him.

Sam patches her up and lets her stay at his home until the weather improves, but he makes it clear that there will be consequences should she choose to disobey him during her stay. Mikayla has grown up in the years she’s been away, but she still finds herself craving Sam’s dominance, and she is unable to resist putting his warning to the test. After Sam takes her in hand and bares her bottom for a sound spanking, Mikayla has never felt closer to him, and though it leaves her blushing, his thorough, intimate medical care makes her feel safer and more loved than she’s ever felt before.

When the local doctor takes some time off, Sam steps in to help out and he asks Mikayla to stay and serve as his receptionist. She agrees, but she can’t help worrying that Sam’s attraction to her is short-lived and that one day he will tire of her and push her away. Will self-doubt drive Mikayla to leave Sam and her hometown forever, or can she face her fears and learn to trust the man she loves?

Publisher’s Note: The Medic of Brighton Creek is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Sue Lyndon's Old Fashioned Doctor - Was She Ever His Naughty Nurse?


Displaying heroldfashioneddoctor-SL

I'm happy to have Sue Lyndon as my guest today.  She's sharing her hot new medical play novel Her Old Fashioned Doctor.

Kallista:  Before we get a sneak peek at your new book, can you tell us how you got started writing?

Sue:  Writing a book was always something that rested in the back of my mind, ever since I was a child. I decided to go back to school for nursing after my third child was born, but then due to some family circumstances I had to take a year off. I decided then to go for it, and to try to write my first book during that year off school. 

During that year I wrote a 100K+ space opera novel (which has never been published, but it helped me learn how to write), a couple of short stories I managed to sell to magazines, and my first erotic romance novella. I never returned to nursing school, obviously. Okay, I think over-answered this question, LOL. But sometimes I think about re-editing that first novel and trying to get it published. Someday.

Kallista:  Hmmm...nursing school, huh?  Are any of those hot medical play scenes in your book taken from real life experiences? (Sue gives me a naughty smile and refuses to answer.)  I'm gonna take that as a yes and re-read some of those scenes! In the meantime, we're all eager to hear an excerpt from your newest book:

“I can tell you’ve been crying, darlin’. Are you in some kind of trouble?”
She shook her head. “No. Nothing like that.” She stared into his eyes, wondering if she could trust him, wondering if it mattered if she spilled her troubles at his feet, just to get them off her chest. Maybe then some of the worry darkening her mood would lift. “Promise you won’t judge me?”
“I promise.”
She sighed. What the hell. “I was engaged to be married in about six months. Two nights ago I caught my husband-to-be with three prostitutes. We’ve been engaged for years, since shortly after high school, and the plan was that we’d always get married and have a big fancy wedding after I finished college. We’d just bought a house together, and I caught him in our bedroom with all three of those girls. So I packed a suitcase, hit him in the balls, and left.”
“You kicked him in the balls?”
“He pissed me off, and he was standing in my way. Technically I didn’t kick him in the balls, I swung my suitcase into his crotch. Knocked him on the floor too,” she said with pride as she recalled the pain twisting Steven’s face before she walked off.
“Remind me to never piss you off.”
Her Old Fashioned Doctor
After she catches her fiancĂ© cheating on her, Melissa packs a suitcase and sets out on a road trip to give herself some time to recover. But things take an unexpected turn when she rear-ends Dr. John Holden’s truck in a tiny rural town and he responds by inviting her for an impromptu dinner date. The handsome medic’s charm and take-charge manner—not to mention his willingness to spank her bare bottom if he feels it necessary—all combine to set Melissa’s heart beating faster than it has in a long time. Almost before she knows it, Melissa finds herself falling deeply in love with the old-fashioned doctor, even though she’s only known him for a couple of days. But is her rapidly growing crush on John merely a rebound fling, or can his hold on her heart last forever? Publisher’s Note: Her Old-Fashioned Doctor is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. This book is also available as part of a five-book collection entitled What the Doctor Ordered.

Stevie MacFarlane's Heart-Shaped Honeymoon Disaster



Welcome, Stevie MacFarlane.  You've just written a new time-travel Western In This Lifetime, Morgan's Journey and I'm dying to hear all about it.

Displaying InThisLifetime-SMBut first -Valentine's Day is coming up soon, Stevie.  Although we both write erotic romances about people who have just met THE ONE, you and I have been happily married for a long time.  Oops...wait.  That didn't come out quite right.  Married to OTHER people!  Anyway, we both know not every sex night measures up to the ones in our books.  Do you have a story you'd like to share that would never happen to one of your heroines?

Stevie:  My husband and I never had a real honeymoon.  Every time we planned to go away something happened.  He broke his hand, I broke my foot and was on crutches, well it just never worked out for us.  Finally one time we took a trip to Niagara Falls, Canada.  We got a room in this motel with a fancy red heart-shaped Jacuzzi tub. This was a new experience for us, so we walked downtown and bought some bubble bath.  It seemed like a pretty big tub and I guess we used way to much.
     I was sitting in the tub enjoying the bubbles and he was getting ready to get in so I told him to hit the switch on the wall. Big mistake on my part, huge!  Suddenly I was in what seemed like a giant blender.  I’m pretty short, my feet didn’t reach the end of the tub and my arms couldn’t grab the sides. Bubbles were climbing out of the tub, spilling onto the carpet and going up the mirrored walls.  I really thought I was going to drown.  Here I am screaming my head off, soap in my mouth and being bounced all over the place and he was laughing and taking pictures, standing there in his underwear.  
     Of course the photos reflected off the mirror, so he looked pretty stupid too, standing there nearly naked, so it wasn’t a total loss.  He wanted me to get back in with him, swore he wouldn’t touch the switch, but having bubbles up my nose and my eyes spoiled the mood for me. I never went near it again.

Kallista: (still laughing) I think that definitely belongs in one of your books! Tell us a little about your new release.

Stevie:  It's called In This Lifetime, Morgan’s Journey.  Follow me to the old west, where a time traveling former Marine, meets a spunky saloon keeper. The gun-toting troublesome female tests his patience and Morgan finds he's not as politically correct as he thought.  How can he be when there's nothing he wants more than to turn the little brat over his knee?  Watch the sparks fly!

Kallista:  Here's a sexy little snippet Stevie is sharing with us for the first time -

“Spread your legs,” he ordered quietly after removing his leg from hers.  Her wide luminous gray eyes stared into his, but she didn’t move.
           “Come on, Miss Sassy-Pants; do as I say.  I thought you weren’t afraid of me,” he challenged with a grin.
            “I’m not,” she insisted.  “I’m afraid of the big, hard thing poking my hip.”
            Morgan laughed.  “You don’t know it yet, but he’s about to become your best friend and favorite playmate.”
            Callie Mae snorted, letting her legs fall slightly apart.
            “I guess some people don’t believe anything you tell them,” he said sadly, his hand moving lower.  “The Show Me state is across the border.”
            “Huh?”
            “Never mind, baby, you’ll just have to trust me on this one.  Oh, honey, that’s so nice,” he cooed sliding his finger between her lips.  “I love how wet you are for me.”
            “What?”
            “This,” he said as he slipped lower.  “It’s your body getting ready for me.  You’re excited.  Do you feel this little bump right here?” he asked as he gently circled it.
            Callie Mae nodded, worried her heart was about to jump right out of her chest.
            “Well this tiny little nubbin belongs to me now.  I get to play with it whenever I want.  There’s another spot inside you that’s similar and that’s mine too.  Understand?” he asked firmly.
            “Yes,” she groaned out, arching her back.  Her head was swirling.  How could he make her feel this way with one finger, touching one tiny spot?  It was all so confusing and why was he saying it belonged to him?  Surely her body was her own.
            Morgan smiled.  What a wonderful time in history to live.  Callie Mae knew nothing about masturbating or dildos.  He would never have to compete with the latest vibrator, no groups of twittering females drinking wine and discussing who did what, with what and to whom.  No, he’d been given a golden opportunity here.  A beautiful, virginal woman he could satisfy the way God intended, with his body and his love.  He would give her as much pleasure as she could handle and in ways only a modern man could conceive of.

In This Lifetime, Morgan's Journey

     Former Marine, Morgan Whittaker is but a shadow of the man he once was.  Plagued by personal tragedy, his marriage in shambles; it’s no shock to him when he’s wounded while serving his last tour of duty. The only surprise is that he’s alive at all.  Now he just wants to be left alone.
     Despite knowing their marriage is over, Cara Whittaker finds it painful and annoying to see what her husband has become.  As a last resort at helping him, along with increasing her status at the top secret government agency she works for, she offers him a once in a lifetime chance to travel back in time.
     What he finds there is more than he ever dreamed.  A new life, a family and love in the form of a spunky little saloon keeper in desperate need of discipline.  Can he take the risk of remaining in 1880?  He’s been warned not to tamper with the fragile fabric of the future, but he knows danger is coming.  Can he stop it and change his destiny or will he run out of time?
     Will he once again follow the rules or will he throw caution to the wind and step up to be the man he’s meant to be?

Stevie MacFarlane lives in upstate New York with her husband of many years. She currently has 11 books out, including her very popular series about an Irish-American family, The O’Malley’s. To explain her writing preference she used a quote from her Amazon Author’s Page. “All of my books are romances. I like a lot of conversation, a bit of humor, some fairly hot sex and spanking. If you're into whips and chains, these probably aren't for you. However, if you've ever watched a movie where the leading lady is being a perfect bitch and you feel like yelling at the leading man, "Oh my God, spank her you fool!" these might be right up your alley.”

Sex Sells - Renee Rose's Four Tips Guarantee You'll Make Money Writing Erotica




Wondering if you can REALLY pay the bills selling what you write?  Are you struggling just to make enough to cover the cost of the endless cups of coffee you consume while sitting at the computer?  Today,  Renee Rose spills the beans on how much she makes as an award-winning author of erotica.

Renee, how did you get started writing erotica? 

Renee:  When I fell into writing spanking romance, I got lucky. It just so happened that the thing I wanted to write most in the world also happened to be a niche in which it’s easy to make a solid living. Within six months I was making enough each month to pay the mortgage and in a year I was making what I consider a full-time living. I read a figure (which I’m sorry, I can’t seem to dig up the reference now) that only seven percent of authors make it to five figures a year.  Really? I’m in the top seven percent?  Am I that good?  Nope. Not at all.

I cringe over some of my earlier works–overly wordy with too much passive voice, overused words like “that” and beating the reader over the head with the character’s emotions. But I always think how lucky I was to be able to hone my craft while still making money. I didn’t spend the last two years working on one perfect novel. I wrote 20 novellas, which provide a passive income stream while I work on new books.

Here are Renee's Top Four Tips from her guest post on Write Sex Right )

1.  Be a Big Fish in a Small Sea – Find your Niche
The trick, I think to making a living writing erotica, is to find that targeted niche. Spanking romance is one of them. We learned at Eroticon 2014 from Josephine Myles and Anna Martin that M/M Erotic Romance is another highly lucrative niche... There are many ready-made markets out there to small, targeted niches...I think it was quite easy for me to get noticed and gather a following in this smaller pool.

2.  Shame Sells
Another reason spanking romance makes for quick sales there is more shame associated with it. I think people who are into BDSM, have probably admitted it to themselves and their partner, while people with spanking fantasies are often in the closet. I believe where there’s more shame and therefore less self-actualization with the sexual kink/orientation, sales are higher. Readers are looking for an outlet/expression of their kink because they may not be asking for it at home.

There are many other kinks like this. Age play, diaper play, lactation, pony play, monster erotica, anything considered taboo. There are a few targeted publishers that serve these genres, and therefore have a ready made audience.  With spanking romance, there are two major publishers, and if you publish with them, you are practically guaranteed decent sales, even as a brand new author.

3.  Know Your Audience
There are by far, more female readers than male, so in spanking fiction, femme dom books are not the big sell.  M/f are.  Josephine Myles and Anna Martin explained the same thing for the M/M romance– most of their readers are hetero women.  If you don’t write to that audience, it’s fine, I’m not suggesting you “sell out” but just consider how to target your audience.

4.  Keep Writing
Back when I was in my twenties, a therapist gave me an article on perfectionism. In it, the author described how limiting it can be to our success– you never publish that book because you are waiting to get it just right. As I mentioned above, I guess I might have one kick ass book if I’d spent the past two years refining it to submit to a top five publisher (who of course wouldn’t take spanking romance!) but instead I made  money while improving with each book I wrote. One of the major tricks to making a living writing is to keep your output up.  Your new books sell your back list and keep your name out there.  If you think you don’t have enough time to produce books at the rate of one every couple months, try a productivity tool like the Write or Die web app (it’s free, you don’t have to download it, just use the one on the screen). You’ll be amazed at how many words you can write in 30 minutes a day!  Certainly enough to publish a novella every two months!
