Nothing satisfies Lilly. Not even working at The Dungeon BDSM Club as a bondage slave for hire. A slave looking for her true master. None have fit the bill so far. Until Terry. He spins her craving to fever pitch. And she might just fall in love with him, if she could only be his slave. Not just his. Julien and André's, too. His gorgeous Creole lovers. Because they are the perfect Masters. But also keepers of the Black Room. On Halloween, she'll discover just how bad and dangerous their pain-lust game can really be. Will she be able to fulfill their true needs? Or will she perish in the attempt?

Insane but True Things About the Publishing Industry and Book
Marketing
The
publishing industry changes all the time, and it's often a constant
battle to keep up with it when it comes to marketing your books. As
publishing has evolved so has my approach to book marketing. Here are
three insane but true things about the publishing industry, and book
marketing, and some solutions to how to modify your writing and book
marketing practices to get around them.
1. There are
literally thousands of books being self-published to Amazon and other
platforms daily. The way to handle this from a marketing perspective
is to have a regular book marketing practice. The only way to compete
with those thousands of new authors is to keep your books in the
limelight as far as your target market goes as often as possible.
2.
There are a lot of published books that are pure crap. That's right,
people that have no business publishing are now publishing. They're
rewriting public domain books, they're not taking the time to learn
their craft, and they're attempting to do everything themselves
without proper research into, for example how to make a good book
cover, or how to edit a book. The only way to combat this, is to make
sure you have a good book cover, and that you have your books
professionally edited, or that you learn to edit and to find your own
mistakes in your writing.
3. Self-published authors are
churning out a book or more a month, and then only charging .99 per
full length novel. This trend has made it difficult for traditionally
published authors to sell books, but the solution is not for authors
and publishers to lower the price of their own books, but rather to
step up their marketing and approach it from a quality -vs- quantity
perspective. Readers are willing to pay more for books that are
well written, while cranking out a book or more every month, and
lowering your book prices may seem like the solution in the end it
only leads to burn out, and lost fans because the books aren't well
written, oh, and authors who quit writing. By writing quality books
and having a regular marketing routine that includes your back list
you have a much better chance of staying in the publishing game for
the long term.
I hope an understanding of these trends and
this advice helps you to stay ahead of the competition and sell more
books!
