Interesting piece on the Kindle, Amazon, and self-publishing.
The Kindle is killing traditional publishers. Death to the king?

Rosemilk Part Two
And Rosemilk Part Two is up and ready for purchase.
You can find it at Smashwords.com, just click the link below. And I always list Smashwords first because they give me a bigger cut of the pie than the other sites.

Of course you can always buy it at Amazon and Barnes and Noble as well:
And here's my prefered cover, but it shows too much nipple so it was rejected by the three ebook sellers.

Number 89
This is something I never expected. I'm currently (November 16th, 2012, at 9pm) currently listed at number 89 on Amazon.com's list of "Most Popular Authors in Erotica". It's not exactly the NY Times Best Selling Author list, but I'll take it. (And this would be the Kindle eBooks list. I'm #93 on the Books>Literature & Fiction>Erotica list -- still pretty good!)
Not bad at all for something that started as a hobby less than a year ago.
Couple of notes.
1. A.N. Roquelaure is listed at 42 and Anne Rice is at 43. They're the same person! (I know, it's an automated list).
2. I'm the second highest male author on the list. Higher up is Michael Dakota and JJ Argus. I'm pretty stoked about that too. And why is erotica so female dominated? (Insert BDSM joke here.)
These rankings change hourly so I'm sure this won't last.
Thanks fans!

Rosemilk and NaNoWriMo
Rosemilk Part One is on sale at all the usual locations:
Smashwords.com: Rosemilk Part One
Amazon.com: Rosemilk Part OneBN.com: Rosemik Part One
As always, I prefer Smashwords because I get a bigger slice o' the cake.
Since I'm writing Rosemilk as part of National Novel Writing Month, I plan on doing a new part every week (posting the next part on Friday or Saturday). This is leading to a huge flurry of writing and editing on my part, so please forgive any minor grammatical and/or spelling mistakes. At the end of the month I'll be posting the whole thing as one novel, with a special discount for anyone on Smashwords.
And I plan on having a special compilation for the begining of December. Think huge. This, of course, is because December is the month everyone buys a ridicilous amount of material goods for one another to celebrate certain religions. Or not. And I don't know what says "Happy Holidays" better than a big book full of erotica.

Milking the O'Malleys passes Gretchen's Twins
Milking the O'Malleys passed Gretchen's Twins in popularity this past week on Amazon's Kindle store (in terms of current ranking, not on overall sales). I'm not sure how I feel about this. I want all my writing to be popular, but to see one pass the other feels...odd.

NaNoWriMo Day 1
2532 words in one day. Not bad. I've done more when I've been in the groove (over 5000). Planning here is key.
Title is currently Rosemilk. It's another lactation story. I think I'll post to Smashwords, KDP, and BN.com in weekly updates. We'll see.
Tentative cover:
