Changes, Discounts and Updates - Oh My!

Hey Guys,

I have a lot of things for you - so grab a cup of coffee and sit a spell!

First off - Part 7 (as yet unnamed) is progressing swimmingly.  I got a really great start with all my re-plotting and such.  I have officially gotten 1003 words - in TWO freakin' hours!  Miracle of miracles!  I only stopped cause I had to get dinner (GF pesto pasta and chicken breast - it fills my hungry spot :::shrug:::). Proof below - cause it did happen (the writing... Didn't think to snap a shot of my food cause this is lesbian erotica, not food porn.  That's another blog...)

The series is just over 45,000 words and will probably be way over 80,000 by the time all is said and done.  So I am very optimistic that I will have part 7 in your hands before the end of July, this year! :)

Second - You guys (and those of you who are new - Welcome!!!) have been showing much love for  Her Fallen Intentions: Awakenings, Part 6!

My UK folks have continued to surprise me and have shown massive love and I thank you, thank you!!!  Someone (bless them!) has even bought the entire series!!  I was super excited by this :)  To that person - I *LOVE* you! lol


Third - I promised that there were gonna be discounts - so this is where I fill you in on all the discounty goodness:

a) Smashwords has a month long promo/discount program that I have signed up ALL of my books for, EXCEPT Her Fallen Intentions: Awakenings, Part 6 AND Daddy-Oh!  Click here and you will be taken to my Author's Page.  Click on any of my titles and you will be taken to that books page were the discount amount and the code will be shown on the upper right side.

The promo above is ONLY on Smashwords.

I didn't include the two titles above in the discount program because, Her Fallen Intentions: Awakenings, Part 6 is new and because

b) Daddy-Oh!  has been SEVERELY DISCOUNTED to 99¢ from now until Monday July 15, 2013 @ 11:59pm across ALL eRetailers:

 Amazon  •  B&N  •  Kobo  •  Smashwords

So if anyone has been wanting to sample my writing or if you have a thing about 1950s women, this book would be a great time to check it out!

SHARE this info PLEASE - I'd like to Get Daddy-Oh as much press, word of mouth as possible.  If you could tweet, Facebook like my Author Page and generally spread the word, I would appreciate it.

As well, I don't like asking but if you've read any of my work and loved it and wouldn't mind leaving a review - I would appreciate it VERY much.  Honest reviews help those who are on the fence about my work to decide and hopefully buy it, which helps me!

As far as the changes part of this title, I have not begun to change the name on all of my books because it is a pain.  And right now I would rather do the more important work of writing so that I can get you guys more stuff out faster.  Which is a good change if you think about it :)

Alright Guys, as always, I thank each and every one of you guys, your comments and the love you've shown me this past year.

Love You, I Mean It!,

Welcome... Again?!

Hey Guys!

Welcome :)  I'm glad your brief journey from the other site was made!  Take a seat!

I've been contemplating the move to Blogger/Blogspot for some time but I'd been dreading the move.  But I thought the launch of part 6 of the Awakenings series would be a good changeover point and so the change is made.

As you've probably noticed, the header of this site is different - it says Lillian B. and NOT Lillian Bendover.

There are a few reasons for this:

1) I wanted to remain as classy as possible.  My full name does not  line up with what my writing (though still naughty :)) has panned out to be.

2)Though I don't care what people think about the things between the pages of what I write, my name in its entirety, immediately stops most folks, who would probably get off on what I write from even considering my books.  Puns intended.

So I shortened it to Lillian B. - this will hopefully get me into more doors and into more folks' hands.  Only time will tell.

Of course this will cause all kinds of re-branding nightmares for me - as over the coming weeks, I will be redoing all of my covers.  Yes, all 13 of them.  The inner parts will remain the same, with my full name appearing between the pages.


What does this mean for you Guys - probably not much of an inconvenience?!  Or maybe just a small change to get used to?

I'd be curious actually to know what you guys think of this change. Leave me a comment below with your thoughts!


I'll post more once I get through all of these cover changes done - hang in there with me guys - I have some discounts coming your way by weeks end!

Love You, Mean It!

Lesbian Erotic Writing - What It Is and What It Means To Me

Photo Credit: Trubluboy[/caption]

Hey Guys!

I was ruminating the other night about the smut, porn, erotica that I write for you guys and what it means to me.  I know - this shouldn't be one of those questions that keeps me up at night but what can I say?  It did keep me up and this write up is what I have to show for it.

When I began this lesbian erotica journey almost a year ago, I was honestly in it just for the money.  I read so many online forums and stories of folks making a living off of writing smut that I decided, why not?  I would give it a try and see how far I could go - it wouldn't cost me much more than my time and imagination.  And anyway, how difficult could it be to write about two women getting it on?  Seriously.

But here I am, months later and I have to say, writing erotica, specifically lesbian erotica is not what I thought it would be.  I think I expected to find smart, well written, well thought out characters and situations.  I think I expected to be slowly (or roughly if that's what I was looking for) seduced by the author's words into getting my rocks off.  I was more than eager to sample various writings along the way and simultaneously make my mark.  I was excited to be a working author and to join the lesbian erotic writer's in the smut lit fray!

I laugh at myself now because I had NO CLUE that lesbian erotica was such a miniscule pool and that much of the writings out there would be geared towards men, written by women who weren't lesbian or written by a man.  Now before you go clicking away, I am not a man hating lesbian - I love men, they are pretty awesome and not just as the other 50% of the baby making equation or for fixing things.  As a card carrying lesbian, I am not averse to the male physique.  I just have no inclination to have sex with a man or to marry one.  My surprise is really at how under-served the lesbian erotic genre is.

Before I get tarred and feathered, I have run across some lesbian erotica authors who are really good but by far that would seem to be the exception and not the rule.  So I got to thinking some more - what do I want my writing to be?  What does it mean to me?

I want my erotica to be smart, I want it to be genuine, I want it to be encompassing, I want it to move and delight whomever is reading it.  I want my writing to stir my readers and compel them to examine their own reasons into love making or fucking.  I want it to be good in the least and memorable in the long run.

Though its been some time since I last published for you guys (I've been unwell for some weeks - booo!!) I want the erotica that I write for you all to matter.

So tell me - what does lesbian erotica mean to you?  And why do you read it?

Love You, Mean It,

Part of my sabbatical has been to take in more of the sights...

 

 

Something about a sports car just does it - no?

I've managed to write a few words but nothing to write home about sadly.  I love writing but this break has been soooooo awesome... sigh.

Back to work... soon but not right now :)

Love you all, I mean it!

Update and Other Things

Hey Guys!

Happy holidays and all that wonderful stuff!

I usually send out updates every two weeks to let you all know what's going on in terms of publishing material.  This Sunday should be that day but it's the holidays and I won't be making that deadline.  Sorry :(

I am aiming for next Sunday and I may possibly have a double release.  Here are the deets:

Her Seductive Affections: Awakenings, Part 5 is kinda on hold.  I'm not sure why but I've got a bit of writers' block with it.  I am hoping it works out by pub time.  I think I need to reign in the mayhem a bit (cause Shit Got Real®) or just go all out with it?  Not sure but I'll get off the fence and work it out for you guys real soon.

What has been taking my writing time is a short I'm working on called ...Another Man's Treasure, set in the 1950's (much like Daddy-Oh! ) and so far?  It is pretty saucy!   At this point, which ever one I get through first, will be what will make the pub deadline for next Sunday.  Being ever ambitious, I will try to get them both out.  But we shall see.

In AWESOME news, Sophie: Love Found got its FIRST review, making that my first review ever!  I am ridiculously excited about this!  I am taking the criticisms to the writing pad and will in all likelihood be making a Sophie, Part 2, probably in the next few weeks?  Lots of writing to do! whew!  But I LOVE it!

In the mean time, I hope you all go through my current offerings and make it a Black Monday for lesbian erotica by buying some (or all) of my ebooks.

As always, my ebooks are available at the following eSellers:





 

 

 

 

You guys have  made my Thanksgiving and I am thankful for you all, really :)

Love You - totally mean it!
