Long Night Audio 2400x2400by H. K. Kiting

Now in Audiobook format from Audible and Amazon.

How did Jacob ever get in this position, tied to a bed with a plastic bag over his head?

It started earlier that evening when Michael and Jacob met for a blind date, and it was almost love at first sight for both of them.

After a few drinks, they decided to skip the dance club and go straight to Michael’s place. Once there, Jacob was tied to the bed and found out what Michael was really into.

With no neighbors, there’s no one who can come to Jacob’s rescue when he screams in pleasure… Or is it panic? How will the evening end?

Find out in this gay adult tale of sex, choking, bondage, and breath control.

Episode 15: Book Covers

We’ve talked a bunch about the act of writing itself, but we’ve never touched on one of the most important aspects of your book: The Cover. In many ways, the cover is more important than the contents of your book: it’s the first thing a prospective reader sees, and if they hate the cover, your book has zero chance of being bought.

 

The Funhouse 200x300What should be on an erotic book cover?

  • Shirtless men and Fabio clones?
  • Half-dressed women
  • Faces or just bodies?

Amazon’s UNOFFICIAL rules:

  • –Naked female torso including front view or sometimes side view.  Side boob inappropriate.
  • –Arms or hands across breasts.
  • –Naked butt.   On one occasion, upper thigh close to lower butt cheek was unacceptable.
  • –No naked people in a clinch even if they aren’t “fondling”.
  • –Any sexual position that implies penetration (Missionary, doggie-style, etc).
  • –No naked characters straddling each other.
  • –No handcuffs on wrists.  Handcuffs being held is fine.
  • –No “O” faces.
  • –No nudity.
  • –No women on their knees in front of men (as in implied fellatio).
  • –No men between women’s thighs (as in implied cunnilingus).
  • –No men’s faces on breasts.

Still there is NO official list of rules other than a vague statement that their content guidelines are “About what you’d expect.”

Hanging Out in the GarageWays of getting a book cover made:

  • Buy a premade book cover
  • Hire someone to make a book cover
  • Do it yourself

Doing it yourself:

  • Tools (Photoshop, Pixelmator, etc.)
  •  Abtract?
  • Photos- Taken yourself or purchased from Stock Photographers [Jason’s Mummification]

Legal considerations:

  • Model release (and especially decency clauses)
  • Photo licenses and royalties. Not as simple as just buying from a stock site.

Scuba Lessons 2: The Quarry

The Quarry 200x300by Dean Chills

Phil has passed the classroom portion of his scuba certification and is ready for his confined water dive. His “private tutor,” Jeremy, has suggested they go to a local quarry and explore some of the sunken objects in it.

They find the quarry almost deserted, and they waste no time getting started exploring. When they come across an old school bus, Phil and Jeremy decide to take advantage of their peaceful surroundings to go “even deeper” with each other.

After a sexy time in the bus, they move on to a sunken automobile and take it for a “spin.” Will Phil pass the test, or is he in over his head?

This short erotic tale features gay sex, both oral and anal, manual sex, and lots of bubbles.
