ARe Café posted a blog I wrote about Writing the Cowboy/ Rancher Hero. It discusses the difference between the archetypal cowboy and the modern romance hero, who is often actually a rancher. I also talk about my recent erotic romance historical, Hard Luck Ranch, which is currently a bestseller on my publisher Totally Bound's website.
Check out Writing the Cowboy/ Rancher Hero!

How Many Books Do I Sell?
Okay, first of all, I'm not going to answer that question. Second of all, you can find out for yourself.
The number of books I sell every month has been steadily growing over the past year or two and rapidly growing over the last few months, due in large part because of the great reviews and general lovely reception received by my latest erotic romance novella, Hard Luck Ranch.
But where have I been cyber-stalking myself, you may ask? In case you don't already know about it, writers can keep track of their sales on Amazon (which handles a large percent of my e-book sales from my three publishers, Ellora's Cave, Crimson Romance and Totally Bound) through Novel Rank. This site's Track Novel feature allows you to copy and paste in the link to your Amazon e-book and start keeping track of how many books you sell. It also has cool tricks that let you see graphs of how many sales you've had in the past month or the last year and see how your book sales are trending.
By using Novel Rank, I've seen how much my sales of Hard Luck Ranch have outpaced my previous book launches and also how the success of it has spurred readers to pick up some of my similar titles like A Lady for Two and Country Hearts, pumping up the sales of my back list.
Let's face it, I like seeing my Amazon ranking climb -- my goal is to crack the triple digits one day -- but I also want to know what those numbers mean. I don't know how scientific Novel Rank is but it seems to give me a good idea of how I'm doing and let's me anticipate how big a royalty check's coming my way!

Bad Romance (Reviews)
I have to admit that the bad reviews get me down. Most of them are tinged with back-handed compliments (good sex, okay story). Others are just all out bad (although I take mean spirited pleasure in noting that these are the ones that also tend to be poorly spelled).
I enjoy a good review. The meaning of a good review has changed in recent months.
When I read a book and provide a review on Goodreads, I tend to simplify the experience. If I liked the book, I give it a four star review. If I loved it, five stars. Two or less stars means I really didn't care for it. One star pretty much means I didn't finish it, which is exceedingly rare.
Perhaps I am a generous reviewer. I don't mind. I realized long ago that I can love an infinite number (and variety) of books. My all time favourite books I tend to read and re-read regularly. They're like old friends. And you can't have enough friends.
So, back to my reviews. I know now that not everyone shares my view on books. Some reviewers never seem to hand out five stars. Others have their grading curves hovering around three instead of four or five like me. People are different. My idea of being a book lover is being fairly uncritical. If the book made me feel strongly, I usually love it. Even if it makes me sad. Especially if it makes me sad. That's the power of a book. They don't all have to evoke the same emotions or tell the same type of story. Imagine if all books did. What horror.
People like your writing or they don't. Not exactly stunning wisdom but the truth. Everyone reads, and reviews, in different ways.
I can write good sex scenes. I'll take it. I write erotic romance so giving good sex scenes is a crucial part of my craft. But I also want to tell a good story so I do read the negative reviews and try to see where I can improve.
Do I give the bad reviews too much power? Perhaps? They get me down. At least now they get me down for a few minutes when, in the beginning, I would worry about them for days.
The good reviews outweigh the bad ones, both in number and in effect. I want people to read my stories and feel something. Hopefully, something sexy.

New Historical Erotic Romance - Hard Luck Ranch
My newest erotic romance just came out from Totally Bound Publishing. It's a historical ménage story called Hard Luck Ranch and set in the Old West. It's already got a five star review!
Here's the blurb from Totally Bound's website:
When his best friend Wesley orders up a mail order bride, Everett leaves Hard Luck Ranch for good. Or so he thinks…until he realises that there may be room in their marriage for one more.
Emma came out West to marry a man she’s never met but she’s already fallen in love with Wesley through their letters. Life at his home, Hard Luck Ranch, is far better than she ever imagined with a loving husband and a prosperous farm. The only hiccup in her plans for the future is Wes’ best friend, the local sheriff Everett Montgomery, who may share more than a boyhood with her husband.
Everett is trying to drown his misery over his friend’s marriage with shots at the local saloon and sex with the local madam’s brother, Kenneth. But Ken isn’t Wes, the man Everett has loved since he was old enough to know what love was. While Everett loses himself in his heartache, he stays away from the ranch. But he doesn’t expect Emma to come out to find him—nor does he realize that she’s guessed his secret.
Emma loves her husband dearly and she wants him to be happy, even if it means sharing him with Everett. But will the sexy lawman be willing to accept her as part of the bargain?

New Erotic Romance - Rock Star
My newest erotic romance with my first publisher Totally Bound is now out. Rock Star is a older woman-younger man story revolving around the chaotic life of a young hot rock god and his conservative older lawyer.
The cover only gives a hint of the melting heat within:
And here's the blurb from my publisher (what a teaser, right?):
Hollywood lawyer Maggie Ward likes her client Finn Carter’s music but the sexy younger man is far too much trouble to actually get to know… Right?
Maggie Ward is aHollywood lawyer with a list of musician clients but none as famous as rock star Finn Carter. And he’s got the bad boy reputation to prove it. It’s no wonder every move he makes is dogged by paparazzi. So when he gets into an accident on his motorcycle and ends up in hospital, it’s splashed all over the tabloids that the car was driven by his ex-girlfriend’s new man. Finn’s manager wants him to lie low and the place he chooses is Maggie’s house.
Finn’s habit of strutting around naked is more heat than Maggie can take and when she comes home one day to find him nude in her kitchen, she finally succumbs to her wicked fantasies.
Afterwards, Maggie is more determined than ever to keep the relationship on a strictly physical level while Finn hints that he wants more. Can two such different people find more than sex in common?

Stella’s sexy adopted step-cousin Callum comes back with strange new behaviors after his trip to his birthplace in Romania, making her wonder if she ever knew him at all.

When the generator breaks down, Stella is forced to share a bed with Callum and their simmering sexual attraction bursts into hot flames. But can Stella find out what Callum’s hiding before the storm lets up? Or will their hunger for each other end up as only a memory of a night shared in a snowbound cabin?

New Erotic Romance with Ellora's Cave
My first erotic romance story with Ellora's Cave is due out on January 15, 2014, and I am so excited.
Designed to Seduce is my first Older Woman/ Younger Man story and I think I found a great niche that I am thoroughly enjoying. The story was actually sparked by reading my first OW/YM Harlequin romance (yes, Harlequin does a few of these) years ago. The story was so hot and the characters so real that I almost forgot that it was a Harlequin (in a good way) and just got right into it.
About my story, Designed to Seduce is a contemporary with a hero and heroine with a history together. Here's the blurb from the website:
Ten years ago, Mallory agreed to her best friend Kelsey’s shocking request—to seduce Kelsey’s eighteen-year-old nephew to rescue him from a toxic girlfriend. It’s the hottest sex either of them has experienced—but Mallory’s guilt prevents her from continuing the relationship.
A decade after the incident, Mallory’s life has gone downhill. Recently divorced, she’s struggling to pay the bills and keep her small design company limping along when Jamie appears at her door—all grown up and sexier than ever.
Jamie wants the truth—why did she leave him all those years ago? Using every sexual trick in his arsenal, he plays havoc with all of Mallory’s defenses as he attempts to wrest the reason from her.
As passionate as their sexual encounters are, Mallory still refuses to reveal her secret. But how long can her body—and her heart—hold out against the all-out erotic war this hot younger man is determined to wage against her?

Sexy Halloween Treat - New Erotic Romance
Just in time for Halloween, my new erotic romance with a witchy theme.
Buy Sudden Storm by Nan Comargue from the Totally Bound website:
Camilla Ferrar is a witch with the power to control the weather, but she's completely unprepared for the storm her new boss, Damien Barthe, unleashes in her life…and on her senses.
Camilla 'Cam' Ferrar has the power to control the weather, but she's all alone in the world. She's tried all her life to connect to her witch heritage by attending groups and studying the history of witchcraft. Her new boss, Damien Barthe, shows signs of being her opposite—a witch hunter. But when she confronts him, she finds out that he's actually a witch himself, and on a mission to seek out and neutralise those who are using Wiccan powers for evil purposes.
Damien's mission has brought him to Cam's workplace and she knows that once he's done his job, he will be on his way, but that doesn't stop her from falling for her sexy new boss. Tensions are ratcheted when she's forced to lay off employees due to the recent merger with Damien's company. When one man takes it particular poorly, he starts stalking her…leaving Damien to come to the rescue just as Cam begins to manipulate the weather in her own defence.
In the aftermath of the confrontation, Cam and Damien head back to her place and finish what they had started but never completed before—a night of wild witchery and sex.
With his mission over, will Damien walk out of her life the next morning, or will their explosive connection finally conquer the storm?

New Historical Erotic Romance Now Out! - A Lady for Two
My newest erotic romance story is available now from Total-E-Bound publishing! A Lady for Two is a historical ménage story. And I think the cover is one of the loveliest I've ever seen...
Aristocratic couple, Charles and Lise Hessell, enjoy bringing other men into their sexual play, but their marriage is hollow until handsome Luke Holden arrives in the village. After three years of marriage to Charles Hessell, the last son of an old aristocratic family, Lise thought she knew everything about him. But when Luke Holden walks into their lives, and into her home, she realises that Charles has been hiding a past that included this sexy stranger. Although the two men now hate each other, Charles is forced to employ Luke as his overseer when his former property manager absconds. The situation offers intriguing possibilities. Lise has dallied with servants before, with her husband’s blessing, but this new arrangement would mean an emotional commitment that she does not know if she could contemplate. With Lise’s sly interventions, the two men are able to make up their own quarrel and when Lise catches them kissing passionately, she realises that she has fallen in love with both men. But is there room in their pairing for her?

Calls for Erotic Romance and Getting Published
Last year, I released my first erotic romance stories, Captive Angel and Country Hearts with Total-E-Bound publishing. Total-E-Bound produces incredible erotic (and other) romance e-books in a myriad of subgenres. They have been a real pleasure to work with and, partly for that reason, I have two more erotic romances coming out this year.
Previously, I've posted about Total-E-Bound's calls for submission.
I thought, since I have benefited from these same calls, I would show my work by letting you know that I've used those very same postings to review the guidelines for stories, to submit and, ultimately, to be published. Yes, really.
In August, 2012, for instance, I posted the following:

I thought, since I have benefited from these same calls, I would show my work by letting you know that I've used those very same postings to review the guidelines for stories, to submit and, ultimately, to be published. Yes, really.
In August, 2012, for instance, I posted the following:
Total-E-Bound accepts erotic romance manuscripts between 10,000 and 100,000+ words and has specific calls for submissions going on right now. These include - At Your Service (short stories about domestic staff) deadline: November 1, 2012, Whip It Up (BDSM, obviously) deadline: March 1, 2013, and my favourite, Wanton Witches (Halloween themed for next year's season) deadline: April 1, 2013.
I submitted a story called "A Lady for Two" for the At Your Service anthology since I've had good sales with the other anthology piece I submitted to them. I sent in my historical piece the day before the deadline, on October 31, 2012, and I received an acceptance about seven weeks later on December 11, 2012. Pre-ordering starts later this month and general release is scheduled for June 10th.
That means, all together, it's taken about a year to write, submit, edit and otherwise get my story ready for publication. Total-E-Bound staff has made this a smooth process but, don't get me wrong, the creative process can also be fraught with difficulty.
The message: it's hard work to be a writer. Keep on top of general calls for submission and try out my publisher. If you don't send your stories out there, you will never be published.
Take a deep breath, write like crazy, and submit your work.
