Midlife Crisis I guess

We were walking on a dark, quite path near the water. It was foggy. Two guys were fishing off the walkway. Then it was all dark and quite. This month I'd lost a friend. His kidneys were bad and then he died of a stroke during dialysis. I was arrested cause ten guys were attacking me and I fought back. Life is unfair. I know that. Just this month it seemed to pile up. It mixed together and it was too much and I had a good cry. She said I needed some air and took me to the beach. I was starting to feel better and then we began making out. She wasn't wearing a bra and we were kissing. When I grabbed her ass I noticed her underwear was kind of pulled by one juicy ass cheek. I wanted to fuck her there but she was worried about the mosquitoes. I asked her to blow me then and she agreed to one suck since I had used a public restroom today. I was clean. I really got turned off and annoyed. The stress level that had been eating me alive had decreased now it was back up. She'd probably say I'm a sex addict it's my fault. But the woman who I can really trust with my sensitive feelings will know. Now she's asleep on the bed with the baby. Any chance of sex is gone. BJ gone. That's life these days. Pretty unsexy. I don't want to cheat though so this is what I'm stuck with. 

Interactive Porn (surely this is the wave of the future with interactive eBooks and such)

Struggling to Get my Cover to Conform to the Smashwords Style Guide, building Coker's YouTube views up, and missing out on many sales but still providing Free Erotica, oh yeah!

The Cover in Question now 1,400 x 2,100+

I know it sounds like sour grapes, and maybe it is, but I think Smashwords cost me a lot of sales by first banning my beautiful cover with the dildo on the front and the guy rappeling down that psychotic silicone behemoth, and second by telling me my new cover wasn't wide enough. That meant that basically the entire first couple of days, when Smashwords hosts your book in the new releases section and it gets a ton of eyes on it, there was nothing for new readers' eyes to look at. No cover. They should either make their requirements clear or give you a second chance to get that book on new releases with an accepted cover. 

Their cover guidelines are crazy as are their TOC guidelines. KDP simply reads your Word TOC. Done. Smashwords, on the other hand, has an entire blog post of 23 paragraphs including one that says this:

Let's say you choose a width of 1,600 pixels.  If you want a 1.33 ratio, multiply 1,600 by 1.33 and you get a height of 2,128 pixels.  If you think that looks too short and squat, try 1.5.  Multiply 1,600 by 1.5 and you get a height of 2,400 pixels.  If you want 1.6, or 1.65, multiply by that.  Don't obsess too much over the ratio, though.  Focus on creating a cover that works best for your book.

The Original Cover
Censored for Nudity

What? Come again?

Their TOC guidelines, section 20 of the Smashwords Style Guide (which needs to be downloaded) tells you use NCX (what's that?) or follow this YouTube video (ch-ching -- watch my YouTube views fly up to the moon!). I feel like I'm following scammy, spammy internet marketing. Whatever, Mark Coker! I loved Smashwords. It was easy, it had a great dashboard, it was fair, but the other companies have caught up and you guys are getting bogged down. Perhaps the intentions are good and you are spread too thin trying to please too many companies, but something is amiss right now. It shouldn't take 3-4 tries to get a cover uploaded. It's making Amazon KDP look sensible! Imagine that! And Smashwords look picky. How things have changed over a year. 

I really hope that Smashwords gets its act together again because when it runs smoothly it really is quite a resource. 

too bad you can't use a gif cover

I review my own book (which is on the verse of getting a real cover)

Chronicles of a Humiliation Backfired by Moctezuma Johnson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first in the Chronicles of a Humiliation Backfired Series. This is episode one. Meet Jynx and Jenny and Moctezuma Johnson. Moctezuma is in Asia sticking his dick in everything that moves (or at least trying his best). Jynx is his curvy sexpot slut girlfriend that he loves to use and abuse. Jenny is is supermodelesque girlfriend who he has suddenly fallen for which has made him give up Jynx. Jynx cannot easily handle this slight. She is madly in love with Moctezuma. She concocts and elaborate plan to get back at Moctezuma and especially to get back at Jenny. The thing that made me write this book is the sexy yet psycho relationship between Jynx and Moctezuma.

Episode 2 starts with the influence of what some call "The Scariest Drug on Earth". The entire series is a love story--a twisted, psychotic love-story. Will Jynx and Moctezuma end up together or will they be yanked apart by the horrible things they do to each other and other people involved.

This series blends erotica, psychological thriller, mystery, love story, BDSM and humiliation play into a deep, layered story.
