We already spoke on more occasions about the importance of a clear Brand Identity, especially when it comes to up-selling. Why Do You Need a Brand Identity? In short, if a reader of yours likes one of your books, he should be able to recognize the others pretty easily. This is something publishers use a […]
The time for my first publication – On a Sunny Day – is approaching quickly, and as such I’m a little busy with the preparations (all of which will end up in later posts about self-publishing, of course). With the publication of “On a Sunny Day” I decided to revamp my Home Page, and in […]
This is mostly a reminder for me than a post for all of you, but you may find it very interesting. If one of your dreams is to see your book transposed into a movie, this article explains very well how to write a screenplay: the rules, the formatting, the tricks not to appear like […]
Last week we saw how we can boost a Facebook post to try to reach more people, the basic rules to follow and how they affect advertising for an erotic book. At some point, if you remember, I wrote that there was a better way to do what we were doing. Indeed, there is. In […]
My first published story is getting along pretty well, and as such I’ve been studying a little about marketing. Indeed, marketing for an erotic author is not easy, especially when it comes to advertising on the common platforms: they don’t want you or they want you to keep a low profile. But since I think […]

In All Possible Ways “I’m fed up! You don’t know what you are talking about: sex is fantasy, and fantasy is woman!” Dana said, almost shouting in direction of her colleague. For the past week, she had been arguing with Rick about who of them had more imagination during their hot encounters. They had never […]
As many of you have probably noticed by now, even if I try hard to keep my short stories “short“, I’m often unable to do it. It happened with the last one, Slightly Untuned, that reached 11.500 words. It happened with The Impertinent Masseuse, that reached almost 7.000 words, while In All Possible Ways reached 13.500 […]
Slightly Untuned As long as he could remember, Leon had never liked to be among unknown people. He had never liked parties too much; he had never liked to go to the cinema – closed in such a tigh space with nowhere to run – or to the disco. But there was an exception to […]
Today I came across someone happily promoting his latest book posting the cover on a famous Facebook group. The book seemed printed, but I hope it wasn’t because in both the front and the back of the cover there were very, very bad grammar mistakes. “Too” had been used instead of “to”, “your” instead of […]
