Why do Indie Erotica Authors Publish Unedited Work?

The Secret Behind the Problem

Nothing is worse than getting into a hot and heavy scene and then stopping cold because of a misspelled word or a confusing phrase. 


I am an indie author who goes under an alias to write my erotica. Why? People who know me may not appreciate my craft. :) But it leaves me in a pickle. I can't ask friends to edit my work and being a new indie author I am not making enough money yet to pay for a professional.

Why Are There Errors?

I am not an editor at heart. I desperately want my books to be free of errors, but I have reread them so many times that I can't see the mistakes. My mind knows what I meant write and automatically replaces my mistakes. They look clean to me when I publish.

I use Microsoft Word to go through and check for errors, but we all know that it still misses obvious mistakes and sometimes the "fixes" are completely wrong.

It is my full intention to pay for an editor to go through all my work once I make enough money. It is extremely important to me.

The Reason My Indie Books Are Cheap

I price my books for free or 99 cents in the hope that my readers will overlook the mistakes and enjoy the content. I want to share my stories and trust that my readers will understand.

A Love That Saves


Do You Believe in a Love That Saves?

When In 9 Days came to me, I was struck by the all-encompassing love that Tesse had for the new boy in school. A love deep enough to reach down into the pain he was carrying and free him from it.

In the story, And Then He Saved Me, the same theme appears. Lauren is suffering so deeply that she tries to kill herself. Cyril stops her from succeeding and his love has the power to transfer her pain into hope.
In both cases, I felt as if the characters were demanding I tell their story. It was an honor to write about both couples.

I suppose I am a hopeless romantic because I firmly believe true love can conquer all.

Agree or disagree?



* The Sequel to In 9 Days is now on Amazon.

Brie Learns to Obey - A Story of Submission

After getting such a positive response from fans concerning my book, Brie's First Day of Submissive Training, I decided to delve into Brie's second day at the center. In Brie Learns to Obey, the young woman gets acquainted with the other girls in her class. More importantly, she comes to know the feel of Sir's sensual touch.


Brie Learns to Obey:

Brie’s second day of submissive training tests her level of obedience and brings a sexy new Dom into her life, but she risks it all to stand up for one of the other girls. Fortunately, the proper punishment is handed out and her evening doesn’t end after training is over. Oh no! Brie enjoys a private session with Sir who has a little surprise waiting for her in his office.

This naughty novelette, sequel to Brie’s First Day of Submissive Training, continues the adventures of Brie as she learns what it takes to be a true submissive.

Extended Description:

Brie is anxious for her second day of training to begin. Sir has promised to take her in the most intimate of ways. As the night progresses, Brie becomes friends with the other girls in her class. Unfortunately, one girl will betray the group, one will be punished, and another will leave the program for good. Brie’s dogged obedience grants her the privilege of Sir’s coveted touch, but she finds there is one command she cannot obey.

Adult Reading Material (18+) This book is for mature audiences only and contains sexually explicit content.

So well written -- a rarity in this genre. Personalities come through strongly, and theerotic content is so hot. I want Bree. Now! More, please.
