Smashword Pull

Hey, everyone. I will no longer list my books with Smashwords. A few months back, they became the "champion" of the erotic romance authors because the owner stood up to big bad meanie Paypal. Here's the thing. Coker was ready to throw us under the bus until he realized it was going to help him this way. He told people he was embarrassed by what was carried on his site. Oh, he didn't mind taking that money, but he was EMBARRASSED.
So, this week, I am told that A Little Harmless Submission, a book that has been on smashwords before now, could not be distributed because of the cover. When I emailed this morning about it, I was told it violated TOS violations and they pulled the book completely. Okay, so they are nude, but you can't se anything and this is the cover:

This is not a sex act. You can't see anything. But here are some of the covers they do have. I am listing links because truthfully, I won't allow them on my blog. THESE books were okay to sell there. Mine was not.

First, let's talk about the titles that have fuck in their titles. THAT is allowed:

What does this mean to my readers? If you are a KOBO or SONY reader, I suggest you go to my page at ALL ROMANCE EBOOKS and buy from them. I apologize for this, but I can't work with a company like this that has double standards and ARe is an INDY source. 

Callum is finally here!

Yay! Callum is loaded up and I am so excited by it. I am proud of the work, and I hope readers like it. I will warn my erotic romance readers, this is not erotic. I know that I will get reviews, as I do for my historicals, that say they are not erotic. They are not labeled that way, but people will still complain. It won't make me change it, lol. Not that there are not sex scenes in it, or sexual tension.

Will desire be the answer or the ruin of an entire clan?


The Cursed Clan, Book 1


As Laird, Callum Lennon feels he has always failed to protect his cousins. Callum’s impulsiveness caused the death of his father and the experience has scarred not only his body, but his soul. From that point on, he made sure to always go with the more logical choice in every matter. When his younger cousin Angus finds clues that might help break the curse, Callum begrudgingly hires Phoebe Chilton to investigate. Callum doesn’t like bringing outsiders into their family affairs. Their life would become fodder for the tabloids if anyone were to find out about the curse. It doesn’t help that the instant he meets Dr. Chilton he’s attracted. But, he doesn’t really have a choice because she might be their last hope. 
An expert in archeology, Phoebe has always been dwarfed by her parents’ shadow. Their high standards had her in college by thirteen and earning a second PhD by twenty-two. But her career and her broken marriage have left her needing something more than just diplomas and degrees. She wants to prove that her interest in legends, especially Celtic legends, is as important as her parents’ work. When the Lennon family contacts her, she sees the opportunity to win a massive research grant. With a long-time rival breathing down her back, she jumps at the Lennons’ offer her, hoping it will ensure her the grant. But uncovering the Lennon family secrets, and her attraction to Callum, could prove more than she can handle. 
Forces outside the family are determined to ensure that they fail. When an old enemy threatens both the well being of the clan and the fragile new love, Callum will have to choose between believing his mind or his heart.


The sexy paranormal world of the Cursed Clan is so unique and compelling it's destined to enthrall readers and win hearts. -Shayla Black, NYT Bestselling author
