Her Damaged Convictions: Awakenings, Part 7 - 8/2/13

Hey Guys,

Awesome news!

Her Damaged Convictions: Awakenings, Part 7 will be out this Friday, August 2, 2103!  

 June expected a night filled with passionate love-making once back at Holly’s place.  But the cold reception after their wonderful evening leaves her a little more than confused.

Determined not to become one of Holly’s conquests, June sets out to steel her will against Holly’s games, until she learns that the only one begin played is her.

Unable to measure up to June’s fiery desire, Holly tries to make things up to June but soon finds that she is not the only person occupying June’s time.

This is the seventh part of the "Awakenings" series by lesbian erotica author, Lillian Bendover, and is 11,000 words long.

Warning: Explicit Butch/Femme sex


EXCERPT:

“Where are my manners?  My name is Avery.”  She reached her hand out deftly, stroking the back of June’s own softly, then kissed it tenderly.  Her eyes deep, clear and smoldering met June’s gaze with desire.

June licked her lips and bit the bottom one in an effort to stop the orgasm that threatened to undo her.  She giggled nervously, “My name is June.”

Avery ran her finger along June’s jawline, watching as her eye lids began to lower half mast.  “How fitting.”

“Thank you.” June managed, rousing herself from Avery’s machisma. June sized up Avery from her short faded haircut down to her immaculately polished black shoes and felt drawn in.  Who was this woman and what kind of woodoo voodoo did she lay on her?!

Those few brief moments with Avery’s strong attentions left June feeling heady and she loved it!  She found herself imagining doing dirty things to and with this woman she had just met.  Maybe it was the drink, she thought, the new-to-her place, the dress, anything but the fact that this Avery woman could make her feel like she was feeling - hot, bothered and ready to go.

The Writer's Life

I spent the whole of two hours this morning, not writing part 7.

Before you guys show me that disappointed face, let me tell you why.

I didn't write part 6 sooner because I was painting myself into a corner in the story and I wasn't sure how to get out.   After realizing that there are actual fans who care and look forward to the story (and let's be honest - the hot juicy bits), I threw myself back into the story and angonizingly finished part 6.

Not wanting to repeat the same misery I put myself through, for the remaining parts of the story, I temporarily STOPPED writing for a few days while I did some homework.  My homework consisted of READING a nifty little guide I happened upon while mulling over my plot points.

Thank goodness I took the time to read it from front to back.  It helped to remind me of some really important writing tips that I had forgotten, which helped to make writing a joy again.

So those two hours I spent NOT writing part 7 this morning, were spent instead, ripping apart the remainder of my story and building it anew.  It was painful but necessary.  I re-wrote the ending of the series till my hands were weak.  And that picture above is proof.

Those pages within view are the whole of the rest of the Awakening series.  YES! - parts 7, 8, 9 and 10 are fully mapped out.  I am excited to START writing again!  And even MORE excited to have you guys read it when I'm done!  

So after some late lunching (just leftovers... my writing career is not so glamorous yet :)) I will dive back into part 7 with zest and zeal!

Changes afoot people, changes afoot!

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!

Truth

I'm not going to lie to you guys - I became discouraged.

So much so that I stopped writing.

Almost everything.

Even the Awakenings series.  I haven't looked at it since... my last post here, in February.

I feel bad - those few of you who have stuck with me I'm sure, are waiting for the next installment.

 

I thought about abandoning this completely - completely.

But I checked on here and I've noticed that there has been steady traffic to this site, even in my absence.

I ♥ you guys... I really do :)


So... I will read over what I've written in the Awakening series and I will begin writing it again in the morning.

Your loyalty humbles me and I not only respect that, I need to reward it.

I love you all, I truly 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,

Follow Your Path

At a local park I don't get to quite as much as I would like. It is so serene and calming. Follow your path Guys. Follow it.



Love You Guys... I really 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:





 

 

 

 

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

Love You - totally mean it!

Firsts!

Smuffins!
As I type this, there is a new story in the works, I am subtitling it Firsts.  I will flesh out the title as I get into the story more and as the characters get into each other, ::cahem::, more.
So far?!  It is so much fun!  We're talking sexual frustrations and releases of all kinds and I haven't even introduced the second pivotal character yet!  Sexy, hot and sizzling :)  You guys are gonna LOVE it!!
I will make another update as things get rolling along and will even post a snippet.

Thanks Guys and Gals for following and helping to make my stories a success :)
More soon!

Love and Kisses,

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,

-L

Here's a snippet for incentive:

Lou could see the wheels churning in Carmella’s brain and didn’t want to give her time enough to think better of her proposition, so she hooked her fingers into Carmella’s front belt loops and pulled her into herself.  Lou stood on her tip toes and made to kiss Carmella’s lips, then pulled away, like an unsure game of cat and mouse.  She was hoping that this mouse would want to sample her cat.  She felt encouraged when Carmella did not make to move away or avoid her kisses.  Standing with her feet on either side of Lou’s, Carmella allowed herself to be pulled into this game, unsure of how far she would let things go before calling it quits.

Can you stand it Smut Muffins?!  Head on over and see what shenanigans commence!

Love & Kisses,

-L
