The new story Dark Aether has been posted this week! But when it was uploaded on Amazon and Smashwords the formatting became completely messed up.  Neither site seems to have been designed for illustrated stories.

One of the nice things about e-publishing is that you can upload new versions of a story and anyone who has already bought the old one can upload the updated one for free. So I've been reloading versions in an effort to fix the formatting issues. 

Also I should learn to count, there were 12 amazing illustrations by @OMacArtist in the story and my description on the sites said there were only 10.  

The updated Smashwords version is live and it seems mostly fixed but there are still some frustrating breaks in the text that just won't go away.  I'm waiting for Amazon to review a prior upload before I can try once more.

My apologies for the inconvenience to anyone who has purchased the story and also to O-Mac for these problems.  I should have checked the uploaded story more thoroughly before announcing it on Twitter (and checked my tweet which left out the 'I' on the very first word 'If'.  D'oh)

It has been a long time but I'm finally going to e-publish another erotic novella "Dark Aether" this weekend.  It is a giantess-themed story and hopefully fans of Resident Evil's Lady Dimitrescu might enjoy it :)

I should have e-published this sotry months ago when the incredible artist O-mac provided eleven amazing art pieces after he had read the story.  I'm humbled that anything I wrote could inspire such great work.  Check out  Omac's Twitter Page

Anyway, now I need to remember how the process works.  I have some other stories with a giantess theme that I might post as well.

I've been reading the PvP webcomic for many years and I've met the creator Scott Kurtz a couple of times at signings and conventions.  I have to say I admire how he has been able to turn his creative ability into a career and he seems like a down-to-earth person. He recently wrote a post that I really enjoyed and something which I should try to take to heart as I endeavor to become a writer.

I need to remember that stories are important.

Here's an example of Scott's artwork from a spin-off, D&D-inspired comic called Table Titans.  If you like table-top RPGs and a fun fantasy story, give it a read.

A funny video that shows some interesting human psychology.  Watch it to the very end :)

What's in the box?

Battle Suits: Turtles by Space Corsair & painted by flags_of_war!

It's kind of amazing how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continues to appeal fans over the years.  There's something about those reptilian, Japanese weapon-wielding, Classical artist-christened characters that just fascinate people :)

Here are some cool TMNT miniatures created by Space Corsair and painted by flags-of-war.  The paint job really brings out the amazing details in those miniatures.  My experiences with model building as a youth showed how I could never paint anything with such precision, much less sculpt such awesome figures, so I'm always impressed to see this kind of artistry.

I think I've switched gears to trying to write a longer novel.   I may do it under another pen name, but I expect I'll still want to write erotic horror/erotic comedy with this pen name.  I think time management is the thing that I need to work out.

In the meantime, I've been ignoring time management with web surfing and thought I share a couple of canine-related laughs.

Succubi Image of the Week 444

Succubi Image of the Week 444: Tera reviews a really excellent piece of succubus art.  The artwork is one of my favorites too :)  It really makes one imagine what kind of story led up to the scene.  It might be fun to try to write that, but I'm already just trying to get my own ideas out on the keyboard.

I don't want to forget the artist is Violic Chen.  Great work!
