Katya’s Erotica News

Posted on by Katya

My writing year is off to a flying start, with great interest since my Christmas promotion, another paperback available, and a new listing in my Work in Progress.

I was delighted by the response to my three-book promotion for a few days in December. Not only did those three titles prove popular at the lower price, but others in my catalogue have been showing sales since then.

Early in December I mentioned that More Than a Sex Therapist was available as a paperback, and I was keen to publish more of my work in that format. Rather than simply convert each title, I’ve chosen to select a single book novel, and a two-part novel to join my first novella paperback.

Girls With Extra: Parts 1 and 2 is now available as a touchy-feely book as well as the original two separate eBooks. As with the first paperback, and the others I’ll produce, I’m aiming to make the cover subtle, so the graphic is smaller than normal and not a glaring naughty image.

Curvy Girl, or Chubby Guy? will be my next offering in paperback. I had hoped to reread it, make amendments, and complete the conversion this month, but other things have prevented me. If all goes well, I’ll publish and let you know in my February news.

I’ve added a new title to my Work in Progress. When inspiration comes, I tend to get the idea out of my head and into words as quickly as possible. I create a working title, cover, and blurb, and invariably write an introductory chapter. This helps me because I move from one project to another often, and only when I’m drawn to a story, do I push on and get that one done.

Novella

My latest title is Boys will be Girls, and apart from the first chapter, I’ve already made copious notes about how the story will evolve.

Thank you all for your continued support.

It was great last year to see so many people taking advantage of the price reduction I made, so I’m setting a temporary price drop again to promote three titles:

Kinks and Queens, My Feminine Side: Part 1, and Big Girls: and other erotic stories.

Having checked the length of my individual books, I’ve now decided on the next titles to be produced as paperbacks. I’ve already created and published the physical edition of More Than a Sex Therapist, which is a novella of about 70k words.

My next paperback will be Girls with Extra: Parts 1 & 2, so the two-part digital version will be available as a single paperback book. This will be a novel of about 120k words. The third title to become available as a paperback edition will be Curvy Girl, or Chubby Guy?, which will be around 98k words.

I expect to have all of these new editions on my Amazon Author page by January 2023. From that point, I’ll react to the sales and popularity of particular titles unless readers get in touch to request that a certain eBook is available as a paperback.

Thank you for your continued support, and remember, you can keep warm with a hot erotica story.

In my August update, I mentioned my maintenance of more than one Work in Progress. The practice has proved useful, and creates the opportunity to introduce characters in more than one book.

Kinks and Queens is the title of my latest Work in Progress. It will feature a mature man and his personal voyage of discovery when he registers with an adult-only website. This book will be a novella, and a standalone, but it will provide a connection between characters appearing in other stories.

The other books, while featuring some of the characters and information will each work as a standalone. This will not be a series. At present, the other related books will be Lost and Found, and Dressed to Thrill. They will have a ‘Kinks and Queens’ strapline on the cover.

I sincerely hope that the idea appeals to my readers, and I’ll work hard as usual to ensure that there is plenty of imagery and dialogue to support the action. It would be a considerable help if you were to share your thoughts on the idea, either in a review, or via my Contact page.

I’m aiming to publish Kinks and Queens by the end of October.

As ever, I thank you all for your continued support of my brand, and for making my literary efforts successful.

More Than a Sex Therapist is now available for you to enjoy. It was, as I said before, intended to be a novella, but as sometimes happens, the characters got carried away and the word count soared beyond forty thousand words to reach seventy thousand words. I hope this isn’t a disappointment to my regular readers.

As mentioned in my July post, my next offerings are all intended to be novellas, and to retain control over length, apart from character creation, plot and the other ingredients, I’m setting out specific scenes in advance for each book. This is an idea I considered previously, but didn’t use because I wanted to let the stories unfold and take as long as felt comfortable. If nothing else, it will be an interesting test of will.

All four of my Work in Progress are underway, so as usual, the one which captures my attention the most will be the next for full-time writing. My aim is to produce one more title before the end of the year.

Thank you for your generous support, and special thanks to those who provide me with feedback via comments, reviews of my books or private feedback via my Contact page.

During the periods when a new story is resting between edits, I sketch out the plot for my next ideas. Like everyone in our modern world, I sometimes surf the internet. I recently checked out a website that was new to me, and as I read through the content and investigated the interaction, inspiration struck once again.

The result of that inspiration is Coming with Age, which is the latest addition to my Work in Progress. The blurb is available if you click on the cover, but the short version is that a middle-aged man is kicked out of his home when his wife discovers that he crossdresses.

I’m aiming for novella length in all three of my new titles, so I’ll have to control the characters and their urges to explore and experiment with each other. For now, I have no date set for publication of my next three Works. If I do restrain the characters and keep the book-length to novella, I’m sure that one of the three tales will be out by December.

I’m delighted to report that More Than a Sex Therapist will be available on 1st August.

This story was intended to be a novella, reaching around forty thousand words, but the characters needed more space to interact. At sixty-five thousand words, there was too much action to remove any chapters, so it’s stepped up to the next size of book.

Nothing drastic has been done to the original idea of the story, apart from the introduction of a slight twist to allow for more naughty shenanigans. The same four main characters carry the tale, and others are introduced in the background but only to create depth to the fictional world.

As I said in my update in June, I hope this is as enjoyable to read as it has been to write.

Instead of waiting until More than a Sex Therapist is published I thought I’d offer my faithful followers an update and an insight. The good news is that the story is completed. As is the case with much of my work, it is based on old notes and my many previous attempts at writing stories.

Prior to having a mentor and becoming published, I saved a lot of ideas and short passages that I thought would be useful to create a story. Anyway, here I am with another tale, presently performing the hard part … the editing process to polish the manuscript and produce my best.

.

Once again, one of my aims is to prove that sometimes less is more.

As I’ve said before, the size should not affect the satisfaction. There may be fewer words in a novella than a novel, but it’s how they’re used that defines whether the storytelling is effective. In this tale, I’ve created four main characters, but all are important.

Adrian is the narrator, and also the central character. His mistake is not so much doing what he’s been doing, but, like most people, getting caught.

Rita is Adrian’s attractive wife, who needs help to deal with the discovery of her husband’s weakness. In desperation, she seeks advice by checking an unusual source.

Stephanie, a self-styled sex therapist, is introduced into the lives of the couple. She is unconventional in many ways, so it’s not clear if her methods will be successful.

Kenny, a long-time friend of Adrian, is the fourth person in this tale. He is a necessary piece of the whole picture, and strangely, I found him the most difficult to portray … at first.

To avoid spoilers, there isn’t much more I can say at the moment except to hope that the story, when finally published, is as enjoyable to read as it has been to write. If I work hard and still give it time to rest between edits, I aim to publish by the end of July 2022.

As always, thank you for your generous support, and special thanks to those who review my books or send me private feedback via my Contact page.

Searching: Part 1 – available

Posted on by Katya

The first part of my new two-piece is now available.

Searching: Part 1 – An Erotic Adventure is ‘live’.

As I said previously, both parts were written together in the early drafts.

The second part of the story is complete but may need a few minor changes so it will not be long in coming … the target publication date for Searching: Part 2 is Sunday 1st March.

Searching: Part 2 – An Erotic Adventure will be along in March, simply because sometimes you can’t tell the whole naughty story in one go.

Searching: Part 1 – Coming soon

Posted on by Katya

Okay, don’t get your panties in a twist … it may say Searching: Part 1, but Searching: Part 2 will be coming soon afterwards. I did consider them coming simultaneously but there’s enough of that in the narrative.

How can I be so sure that the second book will be coming out so rapidly?

This story encompasses different sub-genres and as the general idea unfolded over months of steady writing I realised it was heading towards one big story. On closer inspection, it occurred to me that there were different ways of looking at this issue. I could plough onward until it became an unwieldy and tedious tale, or I could find the ideal point and give it a snip … keeping it as one story, but told in two parts.

The narrator is a writer and is in effect admitting, or ‘confessing’ how things evolved for him but by word or deed, he prompted some of the incidents to take place. At the same time as living his new life, the main character is writing a story which is featured within the main tale, and in this, he tells of a young man in similar circumstances to himself.

Yes, it’s effectively two stories for the price of one if you want to look at the value for money aspect.

I aim to produce Searching: Part 1 within the first week of February 2020, and then about one month later I’ll be publishing Searching: Part 2. At the present time, I have no intention of it becoming a trilogy, but once these naughty boys and girls get a taste for the unusual there is no stopping them.

If I were to receive reviews or contacts told me they’d like another episode, I’ll be happy to deliver.

Until the publication of Searching: Part 1 … keep your powder dry and your gel slippery.

A Threesome

Posted on by Katya

I’m delighted to report that my third title is now available, and I’m enjoying the benefits of having worked simultaneously on different stories.

The Mistress is out there, so now my Amazon page and my blog no longer look as is if I started out yesterday. Three titles out there now, and another to come soon. Yes, there will be more, but at least now I can pander more to a readership if I get feedback.

Once again, with my latest tale, I’ve used dominant female characters and submissive males, which appeals to me on several levels, so I’m hoping it works for both the male and female erotica readers out there.

Crossdressing, humiliation, bi-curious, lesbian and a few other areas are explored apart from keeping to my self-imposed promise, to ensure there is always a cohesive story. Without a story, however fanciful, an erotica author is simply producing smut with names.

As I’ve done so far and will continue to do, there will be no magic pills, potions, or college bets. At some point purely for fun, I might produce a sci-fi tale, but we’ll see how things go with my present ideas.

I’ll update my Work in Progress (WIP) over the next few days, but in the meantime, thank you for the visit and making this venture real for me.

The Mistress … is coming

Posted on by Katya

My next tale is a novella, but at 47, 000 words it’s a decent length. I know size is important to some of us, and what better than something just long enough with plenty of meat on it?

Tiffany, The Mistress, is the owner of more than one establishment, plus of course, she’s gorgeous so pretty much anything she wants—she gets; including information. One of her businesses is a club, and the other is her combined investigation agency and corrective training centre—T.I.T.S.

T.I.T.S., or Tiffany’s Intimate Training Services is not somewhere a guy wants to end up, but so many men go spreading their wild oats when those days should be over—for example, if they’re married. By the time they’ve spent a few days with T.I.T.S. their lives have been altered, and they’ve seen the error of their ways.

If you like to see a bit of cum-uppance be sure to watch out for this title. There is sex and because it seemed right, there is a plot. Well, it is a story.

Target publication date is 18th April, but The Mistress might come earlier …
