Important: Erotica gone from main sales rank now!

If you normally look for your erotica using the sales ranks, it's no longer visible on them. So, keeping up with your favorite authors just got a little more difficult. Focus on their author's page, mailing list, or announcements on twitter or other social media. 

These changes have put a lot of erotica authors in some fairly dire straits with sales dropping dramatically--and so it's important to remind everyone that erotica hasn't vanished from Amazon--it's just a little more difficult to find!

Coming Soon...

One Crashlanding, One Woman, and One Powerful Alpha Male

When Judith Wilson decided to fly along with her new pilot she didn’t know what she was getting into. But John Woodson knows exactly who HE intends to get into. Judith has been a demanding and arrogant boss since she hired him and now she’s ordered him to fly through a dangerous storm. But when the plane is forced down on an isolated island, she’ll find herself totally helpless and dependent on her pilot. Judith will learn that this alpha male isn’t going to accept a bonus paycheck for saving her life. He’s going to take her and show her what it means to be pleasured by a strong man. What it means to be taken by a powerful man…without protection. When they took off, she was the boss, but now, she’ll learn what it is to be his subordinate…

The first book in The Pilot series is full of hot and hard action. Coming soon on Amazon!

Succubus Tales: The Merging up on Kindle

And Succubus Tales: The Merging is 

Up on Amazon Kindle!

From the Blurb:

Daphne wanted power, but not the decades of mystic study. So she found a shortcut, calling up a spirit to do her bidding. 

But Daphne didn’t remember the old saying: never call up what you cannot put down. The spirit she called isn’t going to obey, or go home…and it has a plan, a plan that will give Daphne her power, but a power that will come at an erotic cost… Soon Daphne will find herself battling for who gets to dominate their new relationship— the summoner or the summoned. 

Will Daphne survive and dominate her minion, or will she be lost to its erotic power? Whatever the answer, soon a being of sex will enter our world… and the world will never be the same. 

Book I in the Succubus Tales universe. 

Succubus Tales: The Merging is an adult erotic story intended only for individuals who are legally allowed to purchase and read such material.

Spring of Desire II up for sale at Amazon!

Spring of Desire II is now up!

David and Cindi may have been transformed by the mystic powers of the Spring, but David isn’t about to stop with just two people! Cindi’s friend Mindy had always been a curvy little sexpot…and just the sort of woman David wanted. Now, the powers of the Spring will introduce Mindy to the kind of life she’s always desired, learning how to serve and pleasure Cindi and David… 

For Mindy, it’s the first step into a world of pleasure and submission. For David, it’s another step along the way to forging the Harem he now realizes he deserves. But the Spring is still a mystery…

Just as an FYI, this is part of an ongoing series-there are at least five parts plotted and depending on reader interest (sales for the mercantile among us), it could go to at least 10 parts.

Lindsay Buroker Tells you how to get your stuff into more categories with keywords.

Lindsey Buroker isn't a dedicated erotica writer (just wanted to get that out there since this is a blog on erotic writing and it's never a good idea to tie someone to a genre they may prefer not to be tied to.) but she has some great wisdom on keywords:

If you’ve published any ebooks through Amazon’s KDP dashboard, you know they allow you to select two categories (i.e. Fantasy/Epic or Science Fiction/Steampunk) for your work, and then they have a box where you can type in seven keywords, though they don’t really say if those keywords can be used to help you show up in the search results or what the deal is. They’re just… there.If you browse around Amazon, you may also have noticed that there are subcategories for ebooks that aren’t options in the dashboard (i.e. Science Fiction & Fantasy/Fantasy/Coming of Age or Romance/Paranormal/Witches & Wizards). Because some of these categories are so niched down (and because they’re not selectable on the dashboard), the competition can be low. It might only take a 50,000 sales ranking to appear in the Top 100.

It's a good article and you should go read it.

I'll add some of my own wisdom.  (that and five dollars will get you something called Coffee from Starbucks.)

Getting into multiple categories is one of the most important things yhou can do as an erotica writer...

IF your erotica is related to those categories.  If it isn't, if it's just a bog-standard erotica story that has a single raygun and is put into sci-fi, you will get Unhappy Readers.

Who will complain to Amazon.

You really want to avoid that.  So remember that keywords and categories, like anything else you do to boost your publicity, is part of attempting to create a long-term and loyal audience of fans, not simply getting someone to look at your book, feel deceived and return it, with or without a snarky review.
