New Year’s Eve Giveaway in Smashwords Store

Greetings everyone. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the upcoming new year. As a New Year’s and Holiday Gift, I’ve made available my Christmas/Holiday erotic romance short, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” on Smashwords. I’m only going to have limited titles in the Smashwords store, and this will be the first. Many of my other titles are already available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. So, I don’t feel the need to list them all there. But I thought a nice gift would be to start with this title as a gift for my readers.

Here is a run down of the story:

Theresa had decided to stay home for Christmas.

Who needed the family stress? She was going to be the tough, singleton on her own.

Then, he called.

Nick was home for the Holidays too. Why not get together for a little Christmas cheer? Turkey and cranberry sauce always tastes better when two are sharing a meal together. Or when it’s shared on each other. Theresa gets the best gift a girl could want. A man that wants her on Christmas Eve, and she can’t get enough. Nick unwraps her slowly, giving her something Santa never could.

I do like the way that Smashwords can make available multiple formats or just epub, which is best for most ereading formats. If you wish it for mobi, the Zon’s format, it is still available at Amazon for $0.99. Hey, I can’t make it free everywhere. A girl has got to eat. 😉

My giveaways of the past are likely going to fade away since between the pandemic and going wide with my titles, it’s not as cost affective to give away a lot of free titles. But every once in a while, I’ll likely put something up, like this title. It looks like Smashwords will be a great retailer to offer free giveaways through without a cost to myself. So, please follow and check back. Maybe I can see if other erotic and erotica writers would be interested in joining forces again and offering giveaways next year. We’ll have to see how it all pans out. But you know, the world gives you a pandemic and you just have to pivot.

Plus, if you’d like to try out an erotic romance, please try out Marilyn Vix’s title, “Love in One Act”. It’s a bit steam punky and Victorian, all with an erotic theme. It’s her offering for all of her followers and new readers this Holiday season. It is also available for free at Smashwords for a limited time. She’s my co-author for the series “Thankful in Vegas”.

***All deals end Jan. 1, 2023.

Here’s a few words about Marilyn Vix’s title:

Elizabeth Bonicetti, a Victorian London actress, is propositioned by a young man, Mr. Lionel Conner, to be his first, and to teach him the finer points of love to be ready for his new wife. Trying to not let her feelings get in the way, she is determined to teach the “lessons” without becoming attached. But she can’t help but fall for the young Airship captain. Determined to keep their relationship temporary, she continues with the “lessons” until their final consummation in which he reveals his secret. Can she still except him after this revelation? Or will she reject him for the secret he refuses to reveal.

Marilyn has a few more titles available on Smashwords than I do since she’s been around a bit longer. I take my hat off to her for all the initiative and inspiration she’s given me. It’s been a pleasure writing with her the last few years. You’ve got to check out her “Never Marry A Warlock” series. It’s a definite different take on the paranormal, Vegas style.

So, I wish the best for you and your family this Holiday Season. Best wishes for the New Year, and may 2023 be a triumph of a year for us all. Happy New Year!

New Holiday Erotica & Erotic Rom Giveaway and UPDATE

Greetings and happy holidays! What a difference a year can make. I hope you are well and have faired through this whole COVID pandemic safe and sound. It has been a tough year for any creatives. With writer’s block, lockdowns, and moving, I’ve felt beat down and uprooted over the last few years. But I’m starting to feel like I’m picking myself up again, and moving a bit forward. I’ve been working on new projects, and even set up a Holiday Giveaway for you all.

I have had to rethink my brand, operating costs, and have made some changes. So, I’ve got some announcements. Firstly, I’m going to be running future giveaways through my blog mostly since it costs a lot to maintain my newsletter list since it ran over the free limit. I might pick it up again if I’m able to move to a new service, but for now, I thought why don’t I just do announcements on my blog, and let people know to sign up there to keep following along for great new authors.

Second: I’ve been working on finishing the “Thankful in Vegas” series with Marilyn Vix. The last installment will soon come out around Valentine’s Day. This will be great since the full story arc will be done through the 3 novellas, and they will be put together into one omnibus that will have a print edition. It is a little different than I’ve written before, romantic suspense with a hot, sizzling factor. It’s also been great writing with Marilyn and supporting each other. So, look for that soon.

So, without further adieu, I’ll close my summary of progress this year with the link to the new giveaway. There are some new authors to check out with a Holiday theme present. You’ll be able to download the files for free at Prolific Works. It’s my gift to you for sticking with me. My Holiday short: “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” is featured in this giveaway.

Link to Prolific Works Holiday Giveaway:

That is about it. I do wish for you a fabulous New Year and Happy Holiday season. I’m looking forward to getting back into this pen name and doing the book release with Marilyn Vix in February. Also, I’ll be putting together more giveaways next year. SO, make sure to follow my blog, and may you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. See you in 2022.

Update: Setting My Future Writing Goals

Greetings Followers,

Lynda Belle UPDATE

I’ve done some soul searching and have had to do some thinking of how I want to move forward. Namely, since COVID and a recent move have put a strain on my money and resources, I’ve come to determine that I will not be putting out as much erotic romances as I have in the past. I’ve also had to stop my monthly promotions since they were costing me a lot of money. I loved being able to give samples out of my shorts, and hopefully, people would be interested in the following stories in a series. But my finances are a bit strapped now, and $50 of monthly fees charged by the mailing list service and Prolific Works was just too much of a strain. So, I’ve had to suspend the promotions.

For those just stopping by having read some of my backlist, I’m sure you’ll be happy to know which stories I plan on working on finishing. I am directing my attention to finishing two series, one that I am co-writing with Marilyn Vix. I am almost done with the third story in the “Thankful in Vegas” series with Marilyn, and that story will finish the romantic suspense novella trilogy. I also have started and am plotting out the last story for the “For the Women of Rome” series. Which basically means, I won’t be starting any new series under this pen name. I do have one other story series I started, very similar to sci-fi/fantasy books like Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley’s series. It likely may come to fruition, but it isn’t a priority yet. The priority has truly been surviving COVID and financially getting stable.

For now, this is the best thing to move forward into this new decade that has started out so chaotic and with tragedy. COVID has affected so much of our lives, and it almost seems like another world a year ago. I do hope all is well with you, you’re safe and your family well too. I do know many of you appreciated the monthly promotions and even sent me messages letting me know how you appreciate my writing. I thank you for your support and encouragement. I will continue to write, but it is likely to be in other genres and with other pen names. That could be my biggest secret. This is just one of a few pen names that I write under. But I will keep the others a secret as well. I do love being mysterious, and secrecy is quite sexy. I guess that’s why I’m enjoying romantic suspenses so much right now.

For now, stay well, and best wishes for you in your future as we all navigate this new brave world.

New Ancient Roman Erotic Short: For The Women Of Rome 2

ForWomenRome2CVRFINALIt is finally here. I am very proud to release my new erotic short, For The Women of Rome 2. The story continues with Cornelia and Marcus. Cornelia either has to learn to share or figure a way to keep Marcus to herself. But when a new slave is purchased on the blocks, will it end their new found happiness?

I am happy to be back in the saddle after a year hiatus from writing erotic shorts. I’ve done some intense thinking over the last year. With all the changes of recategorize and blocking erotica and erotic romances from being advertised on Amazon, I had to rethink my business plan and go wide with my catalog. I pulled all of my titles out of KU over a 3 month period during the Spring, and I am slowly releasing them wide. They are becoming available on iTunes, Kobo and Barnes and Noble one series at a time. I am trying to do this month by month, with one of my popular series of shorts releasing once a month.

The reason, it takes time to put all the shorts into the new formatting. So, just bare with me. It will all be available within 6 months. Meanwhile, ALL of my erotic shorts are still available on Amazon. I have reduced the cost to $0.99 each. Plus, there are some series in Omnibus and printed editions. The print editions have always been available wide. So, thank you for your understanding and patience. As an author and manager of my writing business, I have to make tough choices to stay in the business of writing. Since Kindle Unlimited wasn’t working anymore for me for visibility or for sales, I moved onto the next step to insure I could still continue what I love to do: write.

Which of course brings me to the next step: writing new erotic shorts. I have been trying to write longer shorts to keep me competitive with the page read payouts of KU. But it just wasn’t working creatively. Drawing out the stories just seemed like to be adding fillers. Some of the stories I did enjoy being longer, but I am a pantser. I like to let the story flow and evolve. Some are longer than others. So, making them all longer just wasn’t working creatively. It stunted my projects and made many turn into dead-ends.

So, returning back to writing my shorts, it means many stories are going to return to 3k-5k range or even the 5k-7k range. Some series have longer lengths, like the whole On Call series lended itself to be longer each story. Others are shorter like the Scottish Erotic Tales and the Roman Erotic Tales. With the $0.99 price for all my erotic shorts now, I’m hoping more people will enjoy them and take a ride to the dirty dark side with me. 😉

So, with the release of the next Roman Erotic Tale, For The Women Of Rome 2, I embark on this new chapter of my writing journey. I am excited to take you along, and promise many surprises for 2019. I will finish the Roman Erotic Tales with For The Women Of Rome 3, and release a whole new series called, The Queens of Andromeda. It’s a sci-fi/fantasy along the veins of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Anne McCaffrey, two of my favorite Sci-Fi writers. I will give more clues and sneak peek hints as I get closer to its release for next year.

Meanwhile, have a fantastic Holiday Season! Best wishes for the New Year! And look for a Thanksgiving Erotica Deals promo that will be starting next week. -Lynda
