My next offering is on the horizon and I’m satisfied with how the story has developed. When I started with My Naughty Stepmother I was aiming for at least fifty thousand words but not much more, so it would be classed as a novella, rather than a novel. I’m pleased to report that before beta reading and final edits the story stands at seventy thousand words.
Okay, it’s not as short as a novella, but a key aspect to remember is that the length shouldn’t mean that it is any less satisfying—the goal of the author. I believe it does its job.
Apart from the word count being a target, I did, of course, have a more important factor in mind—satisfaction … of my readers. In particular, I wanted to cater for the imagination of those who enjoy the taboo topics, like sexual relations … with a relation.
As is the case with most of my work, the story involves crossdressing, transgender, and bisexual characters, but I wanted this one to have a slight twist; hence, Natasha, the gorgeous and rather naughty stepmother.
I’ll be revisiting the story after it’s had another rest period and publishing ought to be the first week in October.
What will be next?
As I said I would, I’ve started work on Girls with Extra: Part 2, but just like sex, I don’t like to rush these things. The next story closest to reaching a climax is My Feminine Side which if all goes according to plan, will be a novella published in January 2022.
I don’t have a lot of people behind me (yet), so once again, I’m grateful that you enjoy what I have to offer.
