Down the Rabbit Hole: Avoiding the Slippery Slope

It seems as if, like Alice, we’ve all slipped down the rabbit hole into a world that is less Wonderland and more WTF-land. In the year 2012, politicians are on TV actually discussing the legalities of birth control, even as banks are telling legal adults what we can and can’t sell and buy for our own personal use. It’s surreal. It’s frightening. It’s angering (if that is even a word). It’s a slippery slope I don’t want to go down. So what can we do? Mark Coker, the owner of Smashwords, explains the situation better than I can in his email to indie publishers, which I have pasted below. He outlines steps we can all take to make sure we don’t go down that rabbit hole and find ourselves in a place we don’t want to be….     PAYPAL CENSORSHIP UPDATE ________________________________________ In case you haven’t heard, about two weeks ago, PayPal contacted Smashwords and  gave us a surprise ultimatum: Remove all titles containing bestiality, rape  or incest, otherwise they threatened to deactivate our PayPal account. We engaged  them in discussions and on Monday they gave us a temporary reprieve as we continue  to work in good faith to […]

Naughty Girls Don’t Wait–Open A COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS Now!

I’ve gotten a few Christmas gifts early and yeah, I opened them immediately! Sorry, but that’s what naughty girls do.    There’s the custom made leather cowboy boot Christmas stocking sent to me by Kim and the Book Obsessed Chicks Book Club. There’s the cowboy boot ornament sent to me by PBRCowgirl. Apparently my obsession with both cowboys and boots is well known! I love both surprise gifts. And now, finally, A COWBOY FOR CHRISTMAS is available in eBook for all of you to open, and I insist you do not wait until Christmas! Want a little taste to entice you? Here you go!! BLURB: Sexy, independent, corporate executive Casey Harrington’s life and career were shaped by a childhood Christmas wish left unfulfilled.  Now, twenty years later on a Colorado cattle ranch, she finally gets everything she’s always wanted—both a hot cowboy and a dream job. But Bonner “Blue” Boyd is a rancher and Casey is a New Yorker, and even if the sex between them is hot enough to start a prairie fire, they both know that city and country might mix for a week, but it can’t work for a lifetime. Or can it? When a dramatic turn […]

The EX-Files-The Newest RED Book is OUT!

As “Plain Jane” Dolan—what an ex once called her—makes her way through her little black book and the men from her past searching for the Mr. Right who got away, there’s another man who makes his way into her little black panties. She can’t deny he feels oh so right. Gorgeous and much too young Damian serves up both tongue-tantalizing cocktails and mind-boggling orgasms and Jane finds her post-date sexual encounters with the tempting bartender completely irresistible. But her soulmate is waiting and there are still more men from her past to re-date—or are there? Reader Advisory: Contains smoking hot sex with no strings–but with toys! EXCERPT: Damian hefted the rack full of dirty glasses onto the stainless counter. The guy they’d just hired as a dishwasher would take care of cleaning them in the morning. Damian’s shift had come to an end and thank God washing the dishes before he could leave was not part of it. Back out front, he headed for the door to lock up and was surprised to find he wasn’t alone. He stepped behind Jane where she stood fumbling in her bag by the restroom door. “Hey, there. I thought you’d gone home.” “I was […]
