Watch the Book Trailer for Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On

This is just some silly fun. Since the title of my book 'Stacy's Dad Has Got It Going On' is obviously based on the song 'Stacy's Mom (has got it going on)' I figured I'd head to the music video for inspiration. I'd actually never seen it before I looked it up on YouTube, and it was such a funny little 80's throwback that I decided to go that route for the book trailer too.

Here it is, the book trailer for STACY'S DAD HAS GOT IT GOING ON:

Interview with Daisy Dunn

Q: What's hot on the market these days?

Daisy Dunn: I think paranormal and fantasy erotic romance seems to be hot. This is a good thing because I not only read those genres, but write them as well.

Q: What's the most time-consuming part of a writer's life?

Daisy Dunn: It's a toss up between editing a manuscript and promoting it. Writing the novel is the easy part :)

Q: On the topic of ebook piracy, hunter or head in the sand?

Daisy Dunn: I think it's shameful. All the work that goes in to creating and publishing a story, only to have it ripped off is wrong on so many levels...I would say I'm a hunter!!

Q: What should a writer's priority be?

Daisy Dunn: Write the best story you can!

Q: How do you handle a bad review?

Daisy Dunn: I haven't had a review yet, so I'm not exactly how I would react. I think I would probably lock myself in a room and cry for an hour, then dust myself off, and shrug it away. That's best case scenario. Worst case scenario would involve a whole carton of peanutbutter chocolate ice cream. :)

Q: What advice do you give aspiring authors?

Daisy Dunn: Don't give up on your dream of writing, EVER!!!

More to come next week from Daisy Dunn, Author of:

The Portal

Cole Evans has been in love with Gianna Thomas from the first
moment he laid eyes on her when he was a student at the University.
He pursued her relentlessly, but Gianna would not date him because
of their ten year age difference. She broke his heart when she pushed
him away for good, afraid to be known as a Cougar.

Five years later, Cole is now twenty-nine years old and is ready to fight
for Gianna. Before he does, he takes one more trip through the portal
he created into the alternate universe he has stumbled across. He has
been chosen as a guard for the ruling queen of this world and is
shocked when he sees that one of the prisoners is Gianna. He needs
to get her out of this place, away from the hungry gaze of the queen
and into his arms once and for all.

More Sweet's Secrets to Eating Pussy

A lot of readers arrive here at Donuts & Desires after searching the term "secrets to eating pussy" so obviously this is a popular topic. These Googlers need answers, people, so let's give them what they're looking for!

A while back, I posted my girl's cunilingus advice (Why? Because she's really really really really good at it) and, because that post on eating pussy was so popular, I went back to Sweet and asked her for yet more advice.

Now, to start us off, the original "Sweet's Secret to Eating Pussy" (in her words):

its never about specific actions .. its about being aware of reactions and building on things that are working in the moment .. each time one makes love, feelings, attitude, pressures and general outlooks will make different actions more stimulating so to say do A or B or C is not the way to go .. explore.. work gently and build on what you feel in reaction from your partner during that particular time
take your time .. go slowly and feel how they react .. when you feel a reaction then remember the spot and use it .. be gentle .. take it slowly and remember you dont have to start with the pussy .. work up to it so they build the anticipation .. then wanting it they will accept a touch and mentally amplify it for you .. and when you hit THE spot its ever more

Thank you my Sweetheart! And now...here it comes...MORE of Sweet's Secrets to Eating Pussy:

just remember its all about YOUR giving .. and should never be about getting anything .. if you can concentrate on giving everything then you will be rewarded by your partners reactions and those reactions will turn you on ... make you wet ..push you to give more

After reading this, I said, okay, sure, but I think my readers are going to want advice on what to do physically. What should they DO? Her response (and I do feel I should mention that she actually does know how to capitalize sentences and use apostrophes, etc, but these are all lazy girlfriend-to-girlfriend MSN conversations):

there is no better advice than take your time and explore .. be gentle and touch .. vary the movement and the "attack" .. tip of your tongue or broad sweep .. both work but at the right time ... still its about giving .. and finding those places on your partner that are sensitive ... and those places may and often do change from session to session

treat each time as the first time ... remember she is your "virgin" and you are the trusted love of her life .. respect the moment ... take your time ... and truly give of yourself

Awwww...that nearly made me cry, Sweet!

What do you think? Do the Googlers need more...more...MORE secrets to eating pussy? If you think so and you're feeling generous, please do leave yours in the comments, be they messy, sloppy, licky, sucky, clean or down and dirty. The Googlers will thank you!

So, readers, what's your secret to eating pussy? Sweet's advice is rather abstract . Want to get more specific? More explicit? More slot A tab B? Go for it! Comment away!

Hugs,

Giselle

FREE READ: Transgender Romance

I usually have at least a couple free stories available at Every Night Erotica each month, and I don't usually put up a blog post to announce the fact, but this story is so special I felt the need to shout it from the rooftops.

Of all the trans lesbian erotic romance stories I've written, this one titled simply 'Transgender Romance' has got to be the most earnest, closest to the bone, and closest to the truth of my real life love story with Sweet. In fact, the only detail I can think of off-hand that isn't true is that I called Sweet's character Danielle in this story and...well, that's not really her name. Aside from that, if anybody's ever wanted right inside our relationship...

And I'm not sure if that's an exhilarating or an off-putting confession--confessing that my confession is in fact a true confession, I mean. Do readers want to be made aware that, yes, these things really happened? This is my life. Or is it nicer to be able to tell oneself this is pure fiction? Is the distance appreciated?

I don't know. Maybe I'm digging too deep into things, here. Maybe I should just give you the link. Yes, that's a good idea. You can read Transgender Romance for free at Every Night Erotica,

Tomorrow’s Chip Wrapping? Unfortunately not…

In the good old days when fried fish came in newspaper, instead of sweaty polystyrene boxes and the net was something you put over your curlers at night, there was always the famous comfort that any embarrassments in the news would only be so much wrapping for your chips the next day. Not any more!

Now articles appear online as well as in newsprint and the indiscretion you shared with that nice journalist after he’d bought you the sixth gin can stay there pretty much indefinitely.

As Valerie Dwyer warned me darkly, “Experts say that whatever gets on to the internet will remain there forever, even if it’s hidden, so be careful what legacy you leave!”

I can’t really be worrying about my legacy but I am a little more careful these days to give a bit of thought to what’s churning round the web while I’m still alive.

It was back in 2005 that I answered an internet interview question by saying, “If streaking down Oxford Street would result in a million sales I’d seriously consider it.” All these years on, I still get offers to take my kit off (it would be art, I was assured by the photographer who wanted me to pose naked on Margate beach) and I continue to be asked if it remains true (answer: yes, probably, although God help the tourists).

So it is probably wise to give yourself plenty of time to answer questions sent to you by email rather than just dashing off the first thing that occurs to you, which, as I know to my cost, might seem very droll at 10 p.m. after half a bottle of Pinot Grigio but not quite so side-splitting when you’re faced with it on your screen a week later and it gets thrown up every time you’re googled.

The same goes for what you say in interviews by phone or in person that might end up online. If you’re not sure how to answer something, say so, and ask to come back to it at the end or promise to email your answer later that day.

Although all of this depends on how much you care about your dafter statements coming back to haunt you (I don’t mind about Oxford Street at all) and whether you believe in: NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY?

Your Readers Are Uneducated Morons

So...have I ever mentioned I'm alumna of the same college as Margaret Atwood? We weren't there at the same time, of course, (she's considerably younger than I) but it's still pretty much my only claim to fame.

When I was a kid, the one item that consistently appeared on my Christmas list was "a university education." Hahaha, yes, better than a pony, etc, but my mother would take one look at that and say, "It's all well and good to want a higher education, but I'll not be paying for it." And, true to her word, she didn't. And that probably comes across as bitter, but looking back I'm actually very happy to have been spurred to work hard and pay my own way. I think I probably value and respect my degree more than a lot of people whose parents paid their way.

(By the way, that bit about Margaret Atwood being younger than me was a joke. I'm actually not in my seventies. Thought I should probably clear that up.)

Why am I thinking of education? Well, an industry (un)professional recently “reminded” me that readers of erotica are “uneducated” so I should stay away from big words they’re unlikely to understand. I was kind of like… ‘scuse me? Should I even start deconstructing that statement? Because, seriously, we’ll be here all night. Suffice to say…well, two things:

1. Education is not a barometer for intelligence. One of the most well-read people I know is my grandmother, who quit school at age 16, when she got knocked up and married her handsome soldier. Even now, well into her 80's and with seriously impaired vision, she reads voraciously and can carry on an intellectually stimulating conversation on any topic. Seriously--we've discussed everything from indie rock to opera set design to Iranian politics, and she always knows far more than I do about everything. Reading gets you everywhere, kids. It does.
2. The proletariat does not have a monopoly on sexual desire. I actually took a course (don't laugh) called Sex and Sexuality in the Premodern West, and one of the many ideas I took away from it was that we've always sort of "assigned" sex, as one of our "base" instincts, to those "base" people in society. Sex is like anger or sorrow, or any intense emotion: it belongs with the stupid and the poor, people of the lower classes who don't know any better. To me, the concept that only the unwashed masses enjoy and explore sex and all its trappings is really insulting and just...inaccurate.

I’m educated and I write sex for a living. Why? Because I choose to do so. I've worked in other industries, in business and the arts, and I far prefer writing erotica. I've always said I write more for myself than anyone else, so I assume the readers who will most enjoy my work are readers who are somewhat like me.

Actually, I've had other authors disclose to me that they've had industry (un)professionals tell them exactly what I was told: that readers of erotica aren't very smart, aren't very educated, don't know a lot of words. Whatever you're writing, you should dumb it down for them. Don't want to confuse their little peanut brains. Well, here is my educated response: fuck that! Insulting readers by establishing this strange Us vs Them of "We the Educated Creators" and "They the Stupid Consumers" is not going to fly with me. I'm not going to look down on readers. In fact, I'm bowing low and offering the work up, praying to the gods of erotica that they will enjoy what I've created for them.

Like I said, we could be here all night if I let myself go on. So I'll stop now. But, who knows? You might have something to add.

Hugs,

Giselle

Interview with TORY RICHARDS

Q: What's the most time-consuming part of a writer's life?

TORY RICHARDS: For me it's real life. Seriously! I work full time days so that leaves a little time in the evenings and weekends. Some of those hours are filled up with family and friend time. Finding time for writing is difficult.

Q: How do you handle a bad review?

TORY RICHARDS: I don't take it personal, and with a positive attitude. I try to learn something from it, too.

Q: What do you look for in a publisher?

TORY RICHARDS: Longevity and reputation!

Q: What makes an editor great or...not so great?

TORY RICHARDS: I've worked with both. The not so great senior editor was brash and definitely not a people person. She didn't get my book until it had already been edited by someone on her staff and then she cut the final work to ribbons. Said it was riddled with errors. Wasn't that what her staff editor was supposed to do? Go through it and let me know of any issues so I could fix them? Which I thought we had. These days I am so lucky to get to work with some great editors! We work together to put out the best product we can. I like to think I learn something from their criticism and use any constructive feedback to help me write better.

Q: Do you have a preference for short stories of longer works?

TORY RICHARDS: I used to think I didn't have a short story in me but I'm beginning to like writing them more. I write erotic romance and short stories are good for a quick fix! LOL

Q: Any promo tips for fellow authors?

TORY RICHARDS: Be prepared to spend a lot of time doing it! And it never ends.

The Promise

With a toddler in tow, she travels to the Vermont farm where the rest of the family has gathered for the holidays. There she comes face to face with the man who was with him when he died, and her destiny, his older brother Ryan.

For the first time in years, Ryan returns home to keep a promise he made to David -- to take care of Shannon and their daughter. It's a pledge Ryan is reluctant to keep because he's been secretly in love with Shannon since first setting eyes on her. Their attraction to each other is instant, intense and soon the promise isn't the only thing between them.

Quick Six PRO with DC Juris (Part Two)

Q: What do you look for in a publisher?

DC Juris: Dependability. An author needs to be more than a dollar sign, and the publisher needs to understand that they don't exclusively own their authors. We're not cattle - we're free to publish anywhere we like. One publisher might be able to meet an author's needs, but then again they might not be. That, and answering my e-mails in a timely manner is always appreciated.

Q: What makes an editor great or...not so great?

DC Juris: The editor who is willing to get to know an author is a great editor. The editor who invests themselves in the characters and the story, who pushes the author to give a better story is a good editor. On the contrary an editor who dives into edits on, say, book two in a series, without having even glanced at book one, shows a lack of professionalism. Getting to know an author is key. If they're a published author who is new to you - read something of theirs. Get to know your author's quirks. And don't be insulting - sometimes, it's not a massive slap in the face to the rules of writing. Sometimes, it's just a typo. :-)

Q: Do you have a preference for short stories of longer works?

DC Juris: Shorter, definitely, both for reading and writing. I don't have a ton of time to read, so stories with piles and piles of details or long, run-on story lines don't appeal to me. Tell me what I need to know - what I absolutely need. I can fill in the rest of the small things myself.

Q: Do you find yourself writing for the market and not for YOU, or self-censoring in any way?

DC Juris: I don't censor at all. I write my stories as the characters tell me they happened. If they make people squeamish, well, that's what warning labels are for.

Q: How have the people in your life reacted to your career as a writer?

DC Juris: My husband and my sister are the only family members who support me. The rest are just "glad I don't use the family name." My friends and co-workers are supportive, though.

Q: Any promo tips for fellow authors?

DC Juris: I'm the last person to give promo tips, but I will say, be honest and approachable to your readers. They like to know you're real.

DC Juris is author of:

Finding Sanctuary is the story of Vincent, a typical, average guy who has begun to unravel. He has a respectable, mainstream life, with a solid job, nice girlfriend, comfortable house-all the material trappings. What, then, is causing this restlessness, these blackouts? The first revelation is that his best friend Eric is also his heart's desire. But then Eric invites him to a weekend at a BDSM playhouse ... There Vincent will confront his fears and test the limits of his sexual boundaries. Eric has his needs, too-needs that conflict with Vincent's. Will their fragile new bond survive the weekend? Will Vincent find the sanctuary he so fervently desires?

Six Sentence Sunday - Faithful John and the Dungeon Ravens

I was going to pull 6 from my WIP this week, but it's on my other computer and I'm tired so...that's not going to happen. Instead, I have a saucy 6 sentences from an older BDSM/rope bondage fairy tale release with Xcite ebooks: Faithful John and the Dungeon Ravens (which, btw, is now only $0.99 and that's pretty killer because I think it used to be $2.49)

In this loose adaptation of the Grimm Brothers' tale Faithful John, the queen's untimely death leaves her son in charge of the brothel-like castle dungeon. Though her devoted servant, Faithful John, promised the queen he would keep the young man from the cursed Mistress Mei, nothing can divide royalty and young love. When the young king asks for her hand in marriage, she realizes her acceptance is a death sentence and says yes even so. Can Faithful John save Mistress Mei from her prescribed fate, or will his devotion see him turned to stone?

6 Sentences from Faithful John and the Dungeon Ravens:

“Nothing in my ass, if you don’t mind.”

“Don’t worry, not my specialty,” Mistress Mei replied, her aroma heavy with spice but uplifted by the scent of oranges. When she breathed, her silk top rippled against her chest. Her dark nipples were hard and amply visible through the fabric.

The king smirked. “What is your specialty?”
