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!

Sabbatical Tactics

Hey Guys!

First official day of this sabbatical and I decided I wanted to share what usually kept me going when I was busy writing for your guys:




Cinnamon Dolce Lattes are generally the fuel I use to keep me going.  It is simultaneously sweet, a little savory, nicely spiced and filling - so I can keep from stopping to actually eat a meal.

How do I like mine? Tall, decaf, soy, no whip.  That festive cup is also a nice touch.

What keeps you going when you're in your zone and need to refuel?!

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:

New Book: Coming Soon!

Smuffins,

Yes, you heard me right!

Another book will soon land in your happy little hands ... when?! - SOON! :)

Until then, I will leave you all with a tiny snippet:

Lynn stood up, allowing her work pants to barely cling to her hips now that her shirts and binder were off.  A thrill ran through her as Betty began to moan her appreciation for all her hard hours at the gym.  She felt timid fingers trace the faint outlines of her abs, accentuating the curve of her hips.  The beast inside her belly leapt as she felt those same fingers tug at her belt and zipper.  She instinctively reached for Betty’s raven locks and ran her fingers through them, savoring the slow care that she took in undressing her.

 

 
Hot! Tooooo hot!  I think the "love scene" in this one is at LEAST four pages - and it's not even half over yet!

You can't handle this - you think you can handle this?!

Let me get back to it in case you change your mind!

In a while,

Sophie: Now LIVE!

Smuffins!

The publishing fairies have been merciful :)

Sophie: Love Found is now LIVE:

Amazon

Sophie Betancourt has it all: comfortable wealth, good looks and the envy of men and women alike. But when a violent encounter with a particularly possessive partner shakes her world upside down, She begins to wonder if what she's been relying on is enough.

When bookworm Carol Madras enters Sophie's world at the point of crisis, the two begin to forge a friendship that could turn into something more. Can love be found where pain once lived?

Warning: Explicit sex

I am excited and relieved that things went off without a hitch!

The story is longer (28 pages according to Amazon) but just as juicy, with titillating scenes that will leave you panting for more!

Can you handle it Smuffins?!

Keep an eye out for my giveaway!

Love & Kisses,

-L

Updatey Type Things

Smuffins,

Yes.

I admit it.

I am exceptionally bad at updating you all but have no fear!  This post is here to do just that.

My next title will be coming out in the next few days!

This one is considerably longer (about 15 pages) and a lot more character driven.  But there is a GREAT love scene that is about two pages and very detailed.

This one will be available via Amazon, so I will bring back all the deets once things are nice and uploaded on that end.

I will be doing a FREE giveaway on this newest title - so keep an eye out for it.

 

I also want to hear from you gals and guys!

Any one of my previous characters you would like to see?  Something new you'd like to read?!  More smut/less smut?!  I am all ears!

 

I would like to say that I will be entertaining a potential series.  So that is something exciting!  And for fun, I will throw some quick and dirties in :)

 

Alright Smuffins!  We are all caught up - see you in a few days when the next title comes out!

In the mean time, I leave you with the cover:

 

 

 

Love & Kisses
