I resubmitted everything (even the stuff that had never been approved). They approved one book (which had been approved, but was unapproved yesterday), but didn't approve any of the others (including one that had always been approved until yesterday). They're all equally #HappySmut with basically the same style of cover. I have no idea why any of this happened. But I'm afraid that's the way the rules are applied here. Sigh.
#HappySmut
I've been thinking about tropes and expectations, and readerships, and smut. So, I put up a new post to the newsletter. Come join the Happy Smut Club!

Buying a book from an author is just about the best thing you can do for them. Writing a positive review is also just about the best thing you can do for them. What I'm saying is that I love my readers SO MUCH. (tho I think not only guys will enjoy my books :) )
Hey there, I've got a small little chunk of time. What say I do a little writing?

Trying out streaming as I write again. Come join me if you'd like to chat or see what I'm writing! (It's smut. I'm writing smut)
My main character is leaning toward some kinks that I don't know much about. This is the problem of letting your characters do what they want. I'm going to have to rein her in a little bit, but I do have to do some reading up on this stuff.
Woohoo! 100 ratings for Discovering the Trick! I know it's just an arbitrary number, but there is a person behind each one. I can't really express how much it means to me that so many folks have read and enjoyed my silly little story that started off my Happy Smut journey. Love to you all!
I haven't been writing regularly for a long time, but I am getting back some of my time and I'm trying to make the most of it. Broke 10k words on the new story. It's feeling hefty. Maybe another trilogy here? Also, historical underwear is a serious hassle. Fun, but also a hassle.
I try not to get worked up too much about numbers getting bigger, but I'm pretty excited about this. Discovering the Trick has 96 ratings! Nearly three digits! I genuinely never would have thought this silly little book could go so far :)
Looking back at the Lysistrata, as one does, and I am reminded of the outstanding lines:
"No lover or husband shall ever come near me with an erection. I shall live my life at home unfucked, dressed in my sexy clothes and perfectly made up, so that my husband will burn with desire for me. I will not lift my silken slippers up to the ceiling,”
Ending with the fabulous:
“I will not adopt the lioness on a cheese grater position.”

Another edition of the Happy Smut Newsletter is going out tomorrow. It's a brief sneak peek at what I've been working on!
Want to get in on this cool stuff? Subscribe to the newsletter! :)
Some people have gone ahead and joined the Happy Smut Book Club that I put together on a lark. So maybe if enough people are into it, we actually do a reading?
Take a look and join in if you'd like to read some smut together!
Another newsletter goes out today. I talk about how protagonists in erotica are often a bit empty, how that's not necessarily a bad thing, and then how I put together a couple oof characters in my stories. Sign up for my Happy Smut Newsletter and have a read!
Also, I set up one of those Amazon Book Club pages. I don't know if I'll use it, but it could be really fun, I think.
Has anyone out there tried these Amazon book clubs? Seems like they could be fun and a decent way to read the field. Maybe a way to get authors to talk about their books?
It's tough to turn of my perv brain. Watching World Cup soccer, and I'm just thinking I need to put my current stuff on the back burner and write a story about teammates enemies to lovers soccer smut... I don't even know anything about what goes on in a women's locker room, but the research would be very fun.
Another Happy Smut newsletter post will come out today. I'm struggling in thick mud with writing this summer, so the newsletter is the first in a series talking about how I usually get started with a new story. Let me know what you think!

Amazon gave the okay, we go live next Friday. There's plenty of time to get your pre-order in :)
Gullible: A happy smut story about a guy who doesn't have the confidence to go after the woman he's into. Also maybe he's into her only because she looks a bit like the other woman he knows he can't be with. Oh, and there's the other woman who is crushing so hard on him but can't let him know.
Yeah, it's a hot mess.
