New Launch! Sin City by Night - Part One

https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/nikkiblood

 XXX Erotica

For those who like or need more substance with their hot and naughty, I present to
you the serial story of our secret guardians.

They are known throughout history as the Nephilim, half angel, half human. These
half-breed are all that stands in the way of Lucifer and his thirteen apostles in the
war that continues. They hunt the things that go bump in the night, the things that
should not exist, and their numbers are dwindling.


This first part took a little time. I’ll admit it. Some stories come easy, and others
come hard. I had to get the feel of this world I’m building, and that’s okay.
Nobody ever said writing was easy.

Right now you can only find this new story on Smashwords.

Of course it will take some time before it’s up everywhere. I might wait a working
week to get approved for the Smashwords Premium Catalog, and Barnes & Noble
might take another week before you see it there. Google Play, might take a day or
so. Since the work never ends, I best get back to it.

Google Play

The store now has four of my books up and on, and the link is to the right. I'm
waiting for the other three books to show, but if they're not up by the end of the
week I'll ask Streetlib about it.

I did take the weekend off, just to clear my head. I feel good. Now it's back to
the grindhouse style of writing I like.

Streetlib - All In!

I'm all in with Streetlib, and I'll see how long it takes me to get into the Google Play store. Again I kept the first part free, and didn't jack up the price on parts 2 - 7. I also went world-wide, other than what's listed in my links to the right. I'll have to update those when ready.

I have a new follower, so that's always cool. And, if you have a comment, that's always free.

37


That’s the name of this post, and the amount of changes and typos I found in The
Courtesan, all seven parts, or 65,000 plus words of that story. Anyway, I went
through each part, made the corrections and changes, and uploaded the new
versions to Smashwords. That’s now done (today is Monday), but there’s so much
more to do.

It will take some time for the new versions to trickle down to various outlets,
which is a shame, but there’s nothing I can do about that. Right now I want Kobo
Adult to upload part seven.

I did get all seven parts uploaded to Draft2Digital, but had to make a few
modifications to the original files. Two line spaces instead of one between
segments (Chapter whatever, line space, line space, start of paragraph.), before I
could get their epub meat-grinder to actually make a click-able table of contents.
Now I can upload to Streelib, and get that ball rolling.



I kept the first part free, and will not jack up the prices on the remaining six parts.
That's about it. I got a lot of work to do.

Notice My Mail-list Signup to the Right?

Every author nowadays needs readers and fans, and the easiest way to reach this
dedicated group of naughty readers is a mail-list / newsletter signup form. The
trick is for me not to abuse your good will. No pop-up forms that annoy the hell
out of you, or me.

I won’t tell you about every blog post I make, but I’ll let you know when I have a
new release. I’ll tell you about any special offers or freebies I might have. That’s
it. Once a month? Maybe twice a month if I’m running a special deal?

I did revamp my back matter in all seven parts of The Courtesan to give future
readers that link, and that choice. Now I have to get the new versions uploaded.
But, before I do, I want to look for any mistakes. Look over each part (for that one 
last freaking typo) before I post again.

One that’s done, I’ll upload to Draft2Digital, but I won’t use their automated back
matter tool. What I have is fine. That will allow me to use the created .epubs to
upload to Streetlib all my dirty books, and offer them worldwide. Clean reads,
clean links. I’ll see if they show up on Google Play.

I’m trying to get everything I need done, done right, right from the start.
Smashwords will get the new uploads to distribute, D2D the same, and then
Streetlib.

if you get the urge write me a review or two, just go with it. I won't mind.

Moving On . . .

Right now I'm about 5000 words into my new story, Sin City by Night. But, I need to wrap my head around the world I'm building. Think paranormal world, with bad, good, and great sex a part of how the paranormal works. After all, sex can be all three. Bad, good, great.

. . . Nazi fuck machine . . .

That came out of nowhere. Now I got to do something with it!

Right now my overall To Do list has 21 things I need to get done, on top of what is done, so I'll use a few days to accomplish both pressing needs. Wrap my head around this world I'm building with a shit-load of ideas, and plow through each item on my list, one after the other.

Don’t hesitate to read a sample of my many books, and actually buy the book that
interests you. It’s the only way to find out how the story ends.

Conclusions to the 2017 Read an Ebook Week Promotion - March 5 - 11

Now I need to take the raw data and do something with it.

The Courtesan Part Seven - Endings - 92
The Courtesan Part One - 92
The Courtesan Part Six - 39
The Courtesan Part Five - 37
The Courtesan Part Four - 37
The Courtesan Part Three - 36
The Courtesan Part Two - 35
Alice in Sexland - 23
5 - 20
5 Ominibus Edition - 17
Ancient, Evil, Hungry -The Chronicles of Ian Duncan - Book Two - 17
Lonely Hero Thing - ?The Chronicles of Ian Duncan - Book One - 16
One Last 5 - 14
Again, 5 - 14
Another 5 - 13
Burnt Offerings - 10
Earth Improvement Day - 10
5 More - 9
Love Dark - 9
The Pre-dead Saga - 9
Shift Change - 8
And Jesus Wept - 7
Nightstrider: The Spaces Between - 0

Right now the rough data says I gave away 556 books, and the titles are broken
down with the number of downloads each got for the week.

At the top of the list are the erotica titles. Next are the short stories, followed by
my two series books, which means number three is needed.

Everything from Burnt Offerings on down are the standalone novels I wrote, and
Nightstrider (Horror) wasn’t included in the sale for some reason, and I missed
manually changing the price to free, like I did for part seven of The Courtesan.

My conclusions so far? People want smut. Fine. To make my smut worth reading,
I’ve been delving into other’s smut. Learn something new, and take my smut up a
notch or two.

I’ll finish Baby Makes Three, and see about a fourth novel in the Ian Duncan
series.

That’s it. My year is going to be filled with smut, and Ian Duncan. To do anything
else right now would be stupid.

Now I hope I’ll get some reviews out all this, but reviews are like pulling teeth,
with the roots of said metaphorical teeth, balls deep. Still . . .
