My PC is still out for the count, so I am still running the empire and my workflow on mobile devices. At some point I am going to have to stomp up for a new PC, but it is a bad time of year for cash flow (the tax man cometh) and I don’t want to rush a new set-up.
That said, I have had a little more time to peruse Spankville this week and the world is warming up.
Stan of Aus Fils Des Jours is celebrating 10 years of blogging. he is probably France’s biggest spanking blogger and easily a top 10 player in the world. Go Stan.
Hot on the heels of the last spanking blog awards (for which someone was not mentioned) comes another chance to snub old DJ. But seriously the Romantic Spanking Fiction Awards gives (almost) everyone a go. So if you have been buying spanking romances go and vote. There are some excellent writers there, by authors like Devlin O’Neil, Natasha Knight and Carolyn Faulkner whom I have actually read, so you may have.
This got me thinking. I have always struggled with the romantic spanking side of things, Tamed by the Cossack and the Discipline of Desert being exceptions for me rather than the rule. There was of course Magic, but that is so much more than just a romance (IMHO) not that I am knocking the romance stuff. The publisher tells me that my mixing of F/F with M/F and my generalist approach is not what middle American ladies (the biggest buyers of this stuff apparently) are looking for.
Whilst I am on the subject of LSF (my publisher), I think it strange that they can only use vanilla pictures on the cover of their books as Amazon doesn’t like any nudity or anything too suggestive. Is this because those aforementioned ladies want to read on the train without giving the game away? Anyway, since I have been asked, that is why I usually shove up an unrelated picture with my blog posts on new books.
A final note about me, I am still a bit behind in my correspondence so if you have emailed me I will get back to you. You might have noticed the same problem in replying to comments. Sorry about that.
Indigo has been getting creative, but as yet I don’t have anything of hers to publish on Wednesday. Work is getting a bit hectic for her so we may have a short hiatus there. I am still hoping not.
The pictures this week come from: Acknowledging Imperfection, Devlin, Able, CutiePie, Cherry Red, Dallas, Shadow Lane, Pinterest and Spanking Starlets.
