An idea ...

I was thinking the other night about various things and was curious about pricing. I tend to keep my prices low as some of what I've been publishing and selling has been previously available for free. When I wander through Smashwords though I often see short little things around 5000 words for about the same price as my books.

I'm curious I as to whether they actually ever sell. I don't think that it will influence my pricing at this point, but I am wondering what the next Nikki Dark book should be sold for given its 200,000+ word length.

It also made me think of a new concept. A short story, a quick little flash from my mind. A new series of bits perhaps ... Something I might just refer to as ...

A Quikki by nikki!

Licks and kisses,

Reviews please?

Hey everyone, so far the free book offer has managed to stimulate some interest and I am again seeing Nikkirotica 1: Fun With Friends getting snapped up. I truly hope that if you've grabbed a free copy that you enjoy it and that it inspires you to drop a couple of bucks on some of my other work. That would be a lovely thank you from you to me.

The other (and free!) way to say thank you would be to go to Smashwords and give me a lovely little 5 star rating and bit of a review. Doing so helps keep my books closer to the front of the 'highest rated' and might just assist with a few sales.

You don't have to, but I'd love it if you did.

Licks and kisses,

Almost there!

So, 213,000 words or so and the draft of the new book is done! Now comes the re-read and edit and its almost time for beta-reading, which I still have to work out how to handle. But the news is good. I've got all the words down and the story captured!

Although I may have left one loose end. Something for the edit.

Licks and kisses,

nikki

Muses, musing and inspiration

I was thinking the other day (yeah, I do that occasionally) as I work toward the end of my current story and realised that I have reached in my mind the conclusion of the saga. That's something of an achievement as previously I didn't really know just quite how to come to a satisfactory end point. Whether its satisfactory for everyone else is another matter entirely. Some Beta reading might just help with that.

So I was musing, and prompted by a picture that I saw on Facebook, I wondered ... What would Steve, Julie, Adriana and Alexis would look like. I mean, I have obviously pictured them in my mind, but I wondered if I could find something that would capture them. I found a couple, maybe I'll post them here some time.

As a teaser, this is the pic that started me thinking.

Then I found this picture which I thought was even more 'Julie-esque'.

It's inspiring! Now I just need to find my Steve, Adriana and Alexis. Feel free to email me anything that you think might fit the bill. Clothing optional of course!

Seeking a Title

So the next thing that is planned for publishing is my series about Steve and Julie. There's history to it with Smashwords as someone stole it and published it as their own and then put it up for sale. Thanks to a loyal fan I found out about it and was thus introduced to Smashwords and self-publishing.

I have re-edited the original pieces published at Literotica and added substantially to the tale (some 30,000 words or so). I'm not finished yet, but am wondering what to call it. I thought that my fans might like some input.

Send ideas to nikkirotica@hotmail.com.

Oh and I might just engage some beta readers. If you've purchased and commented, you might be in with a chance :).

Glacial

I've been struggling lately. Life has been busy, I've been challenged and basically, the writing has slowed to a glacial pace.

I'm sure that it's frustrating for my fans as it means nothing new for way too long again but rest assured, it's very frustrating for me too. I am still writing though, just at what appears to be a glacial pace.

The eye

Ok, so as I've mentioned before I currently have some characters having some fun in London. I like to be accurate where I can be, but sometimes you have to stretch the truth in the name of a good story. My characters are about to go on the London Eye and I've never been there. I can get some information from pictures and the like but what i can't tell is if there are security cameras in the pods (for want of a better word). If there are, it makes what I am planning less believable (it'll be a stretch anyway and may change the course of what happens.

I am hoping that someone can tell me please?

Slowly slowly

So i went away camping for the weekend. We went back to the location that inspired 'Caravan Roulette' though I can't say I had the nerve to try it out. I sure thought about it every time I was in the amenities block showering though.

I may have had an orgasm or six there ;)

As to writing .. i managed to cobble together a few more thousand words. It was far short of what I hoped to achieve, but at least it was some writing. Hey a girl has to have fun along the way!

Anyway, just thought I'd give a quick update. Please tell your friends about my books and encourage them to buy their own copy, that way they can all be horny too!

licks and kisses,

nikki
