Steve and Julie's Story Published!

It was intended to publish with a pre-order setting so that i could build anticipation around the release of this book, but it would appear that I messed up. So it's up right now over at Smashwords. Look for Nikki Dark and turn off that pesky adult filter ;)

Almost there

So, I think I have finally nailed the title and cover for Steve and Julie's story! I'll be doing a pre-release via smashwords (Nikki Dark) so keep an eye out for it. I'll certainly announce when I've done it

Voting on the Story

Ok, thanks to investing 30 seconds on Google, I worked out how to put a poll on the blog, so if you head over to the story, you can now vote on the right hand side.

Reader's Choice - an Erotic Story Experiment

Some time ago I started an experiment. A friend introduced me to the concept of wiki files and because my mind works the way that it does I wondered ow I might be able to put this discovery to use.

I found that it can be quite a useful writing tool because of the capacity to link back to things repeatedly. Tat meant at as a character developed and important things happened I could track them. I've tended to revert to more standard methods of word processing in recent times but came across the  file that I'd used to experiment with.

It was something a little different - a choose your own sex adventure. You read a bit and then at the end of each piece choose option a or option b.

I never quite worked out what would be a good method of sharing it as I am not tech savvy enough to lock it down so tag people's can't change it, but today I came up with a way to put it to use.

Right here on my blog I am going to introduce a reader's choice sex adventure. I'll post a piece at a time and ask you to choose which way the story goes at the end of each segment. Some segments will be longer an others and depending how quickly we get into bits that I haven't already written posts may take a bit of time to get up in public.

In the end it's an experiment and hopefully a bit of fun.

Votes for which path is taken will be via comments, so if you want a say in where it goes, you'll need to say it that way. If you follow this blog you'll get emails when new posts go up.

I hope that you'll enjoy it and let's see where this little experiment goes. I will try to set it up as an alternate page on this blog, but if that doesn't work I'll have to do it on a separate one and link it. I'll play around a little more when I'm not trying to do it from the iPad.

Still loving that little thrill

I checked my email today and saw that there was a purchase notification. I still get a little thrill when I receive one of those, especially when like today it was someone that had bought all of y Nikki Hall books in one go!

My sales certainly aren't in the realms of JK Rowling or even good enough to contemplate using the earnings for a nice holiday, so every single one of them is special to me.

I just thought I'd say thanks to everyone that has given me or of those little thrills. Hopefully I've managed to give you a thrill or two in return though my writing.

What's next?

I thought you might be interested to know what I am doing while Steve and Julie's story is being beta read.

I was challenged a while back to do two things.

1. Write something based on one word ... Ship wrecked ... And
2. Write something more romantic.

I am attempting to combine the two, thoug I think the second part will be harder to achieve. It will still be hot and with plenty of sex so I'll just have to see how it pans out and if people like it.

I'll also be starting to put someone together around my comicon bingo idea and maybe even begin the re-edit and addition process to The Dark Room.
