A Slut’s Perspective (x2)

It’s been a big week for Edward Daniels Erotica. Without any fanfare or run up, I’m happy to announce that I have two new ebooks now for sale in all the usual places.

A Slut’s Perspective: Second Semester is the second in a four part series that follows our heroine back from winter break, where Kristy and her roommate set out to taste the cream of the campus. As the girls pick up their own steamy relationship right where it left off, they’re both thinking about the new opportunities that await them in the spring semester. From the girls in her dorm and the brothers on fraternity row to her married English professor, no one is immune to Kristy’s charms. Kristy might be an academic all-star, but her true calling has always been getting laid. Priced at $.99, Second Semester is currently available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords, with other retailers coming soon.

A Slut’s Perspective: Freshman Year Collection combines four short stories into a 50,000 word mega-collection that follows Kristy from her first day on campus to unwinding at the end of the year and finding her perfect summer job. Just because Kristy likes to screw doesn’t mean she’s easy. With a tight body built for sex, she can afford to be selective. In two short semesters, Kristy has selected her roommate, her freshman English professor, a soccer star, a surfer, her boss, some of the hottest girls on campus, and complete strangers to share her bed, screw on the beach, and join the mile high club. Priced at $2.99, you’ll save 24% when you buy the Freshman Year Collection from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Smashwords.

Smooth…

I’m going to risk tempting fate by saying that so far, the work on Second Semester has been going very smoothly. Sure, there have been a few days where I didn’t have time or just didn’t feel like writing, there have been a few days where the words just won’t appear on the page. That’s feels like something that’s part for the course on any large writing project. What’s really surprised me, though, is how often things have just gone smoothly with this one. It feels like I’ve gone from 0 to 7500 words in no time at all. As much as all writers seem to think writing should be a struggle, it’s been awfully nice to not struggle quite so much with this one.

I just started on Chapter 4 over the weekend and Second Semester feels like it will be one of my normal 5 chapter short stories, so we’re over the hump. Now the kicker is going to be keeping the motivation up when the days are cooler and a host of other interesting options are available. Every summer I seem to fall victim to the thought that once the days get shorter and the nights get longer, I’ll have more time to write. It’s a fallacy of logic, since the amount of daylight doesn’t change everything else that needs to get done in any given day. The best I can do is keep taking small bites in the quiet moments as they come along. It’s the only process I’ve found so far that consistently works for me, so I’ll stick with it.

In the Zone

I can’t say I have any earth shattering updates from this weekend. I’ve been setting a pretty solid pace on 300-400 words six days a week for the latest WIP. I’m happy with how it’s turning out so far. I’m ecstatic that I’ve been able to keep up that pace for as long as I have. Usually something comes up and throws me off balance long before I get into anything resembling a routine. I’m probably jinxing myself just by mentioning it, especially since I haven’t carved any writing time out of this holiday Monday yet. As long as I can squeeze in half an hour before the mandatory barbecue and picnic time starts, I should be fine. So far I’ve been in the zone for the last two weeks and I really don’t want to screw that up by breaking stride now.

One of the ways you know things are going well with the current WIP is that I’m already starting to have a few ideas about where I want to go next. Nothing firm yet other than a few back of the napkin notes, but I think I’d like to revisit S&M or dominance and submission. Who knows if that will mean picking back up with the Accidental Dominance series or if it means launching out into new ground, but it’s at least the seed of an idea. I don’t want to start thinking too far down that road until I get a better grip on what’s right in front of me though. It’s been my experience, that while I like to pretend I can multi-task, what it usually means is that I’m just doing several things badly instead of one thing well… and since I really enjoy Kristy, Kathryn, and the rest of the Slut’s Perspective characters, I want to give them their due before moving on to something else.

A Slut’s Perspective: Summer Job

After a weekend full of editing, gnashing of teeth, and a bottomless supply of coffee, A Slut’s Perspective: Summer Job is on the shelves and available for your reading enjoyment. As of today it’s available from Amazon and Smashwords. It will take some of the other retailers (Apple, Sony, Kobo, etc.) a few weeks to catch up since I’m not distributing to them independently. It’s coming on Barnes & Noble too, though they have been a little slower than the others “bigshots” to to make Summer Job available.

Here’s the description I’m currently using on the retail sites:

With classes finished and her friends scattering across the country, Kristy has no intention of spending the summer in her hometown. She knew getting laid on a regular basis was going to be easier if she weren’t sleeping every night in her childhood princess bed. Checking out of her dorm room, Kristy points her car east towards the Jersey Shore and the quintessential teenage experience of spending the summer working at the beach.

In this installment of the Slut’s Perspective series, 18-year-old Kristy uses all the charms at her disposal, to make new friends of the hotel staff, her coworkers, and even her boss. Having a job doesn’t have to be boring – especially when you spend your days on the beach showing as much skin as possible. This Summer Job leads to random hook ups, girl-on-girl love, and hot oral action. More people would love their job of they had these kind of benefits.
