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.

Breaking and Entering is now available.

It’s not as long as a novel, but at 49k words, it’s not a short story. This one is a novella. The story picks up rapidly, and for the most part it features two characters, so has a high degree of intimacy regarding their relationship.

The chapters are not too long, which I’m sure will be welcomed by those readers who like to feel that they’re being carried more rapidly by the tale. I’ve included the usual level of detail so nothing has been sacrificed to produce the story.

To continue with the diversity of offering slightly shorter tales, my next two stories are also to be novellas. Due to my tendency to develop two stories simultaneously, I have the framework of my next story organised. More Than a Sex Therapist will tell the tale of a young couple who accept guidance from an unusual source, with results that take their relationship to a new level.

At the present time, Transformation is still more of an idea than a story, so I’ve opted for the tactic of creating multiple start points to see which one appeals most to me. I’m confident that one of these two remaining Work in Progress will be hitting the virtual shelves by around August 2022.

In the meantime, there are many worlds of pleasure to feast on in my catalogue. Enjoy.

As always, thank you for your interest in my work.

Big Girls: and other erotic stories is now available.

You’ll find six short stories in this anthology with an average of 5,000 words. The tales cover a variety of topics within the genre, so I’m sure everyone will find something to appeal to them.

I started work on this collection in July 2021, and I’m pleased with my restraint. I took plenty of time to enjoy, rework, and tease each of the naughty episodes to their climax.

A novel or novella both require revision to continue the development of the plot and characters over a longer period. A short story is by its nature, short in length and time span. In effect, for reading purposes, a short story is a ‘quickie’.

I deliberately wrote each tale rapidly, provided working titles, and saved them. I’ve pulled them out individually on occasion to work on them while ‘resting’ other work. Following my most recent read through, I’m confident that I’ve hit the sweet spot with each story.

My next novella, Breaking and Entering, is complete but I’ll revise it again ready to publish late in April or early in May. The story, like all of my others, has been through several drafts, each time being left aside for a couple of weeks. I believe the rest periods are necessary to produce the best end result.

Now, I’ll leave you to decide if this latest one is for you. As with all of my titles, it is available on Kindle Unlimited for those of you who subscribe.

My Feminine Side: Part 2 is now available.

In this second and concluding part of the tale, Ben and his beautiful, understanding girlfriend, Deborah continue to develop their relationship. Of course, Bethany is the third character in their household, and she too must be recognised and involved in things.

Due to erotica not attracting as many reviews as mainstream genres, it’s difficult to judge the success or popularity of a book, but authors do have a rough guide. According to my sales figures and the number of page reads on Amazon, My Feminine Side: Part 1 is performing well, so I have high hopes for the sequel.

This two-part story has been a joy to produce, and now it’s over to you guys to enjoy.

My Feminine Side: Part 2

My next anthology of short stories, Big Girls: and other erotic stories, has gone through several drafts over the past couple of months and is close to publication. Once again, the collection will contain six stories which cover a variety of situations, but they will appeal to you lovely erotica readers.

Remember to keep one hand free for flicking the screens.

Girls with Extra found a few fans out there, and I had several requests to write Martin’s ongoing story.

The first tale has now been retitled Girls with Extra: Part 1

Girls with Extra: Part 2 is now available and all I can hope for is that the ending I’ve created satisfies those who wanted to know more. It was challenging at first, but once it was underway, I enjoyed the journey as I let the characters take the story forward.

What will be next?

Big Girls: and other erotic stories, my second anthology is shaping up nicely. All six stories are underway, but short stories require a lot of development so it will be early next year before the collection appears.

In the meantime, my next two-part story is also developing well. My Feminine Side: Part 1 is looking good for publication in January 2022. As I said in my October update, I knew this one had the makings of a two-part story and as I write the first one, I will continually be making notes in preparation for the second part.

Apart from the anthology, to avoid irritating my readers, after My Feminine Side: Part 1, I’ll produce My Feminine Side: Part 2 before any others in my Work in Progress.

For now, cosy up with Girls with Extra Part 1 and Girls with Extra: Part 2.

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.

Play Your Cards Right – available

Posted on by Katya

Is it worth gambling when you have a lot to lose?

You’re a guy with a beautiful, sexy wife, a lovely home and a steady job. You also have a couple of great friends who you meet up with every Friday to play cards. That would be a fine pastime but it changes from being a casual weekly flutter when the stakes are raised and you are lured into the world of the IOU … and then your debts just look like words on paper.

Perhaps you wouldn’t see it for the sickness that it is, and Danny certainly didn’t, even when Heather made it clear that the signs were there.

What could make the situation any worse?

Perhaps another addiction would be the last straw, like a need to view porn. Of course, it’s not a problem … until that beautiful wife of yours finds out about it.

If she’s like Heather and not the type of person who’s willing to let you walk all over her it changes the stakes in both your pastimes.

What’s that old saying about a woman scorned?

These are the main ingredients of my latest tale and there is more than one twist as Danny’s life unravels from being an almost normal suburban existence.

If you were Danny, would you Play Your Cards Right?

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 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.
