My book is published!

[Clevernick]

Yeah, I know some of you sell books all the time, and never say a word. But it's my first and dammit I want to celebrate!

W00t!

The new title is "From Zealot to Harlot"

I'm disappointed with the stock cover photo with the cheap drawn-on crucifix -- I will have to become a well-known author, I suppose, before they'll take the trouble to have a proper photo for the book as it deserves. But I'm still excited!

For Liz, things go from bad to worse - I’d been considering for weeks what this misplaced missionary deserved, and I’d even gone so far as to purchase a couple of toys that might help teach her such a lesson, but I had never thought of a good way to begin. But now I thought I knew. And she had just called me “small” once too often.

*MOD NOTE: If you wish to find out how to purchase the book please PM Clevernick directly. Link sites may not be posted!*

CONGRATULATIONS!

I'm so terribly excited for you. (Okay, I'm jealous, too, but now I'm just inspired that much more to write!) I really hope it sells well!

Congratulations!!!

Whoo hoo!

* Does a little happy dance with you *

Your book is a delightfully wicked tale featuring blackmail, humiliation, bondage and sex aplenty.

Go you!

Write on,

Ruby

:camera2: :cheerlead

...hey... maybe i can suck some success pheremones out of you and rub them all over myself... ;)

Seriously... very cool!

[Clevernick]

Thank you all for the congrats! I am doing D'lish's happy dance!

Cover blurbs and reviews were contributed by Ruby, H Dean, Mad Lews, and local friend The Marquise, and I am really grateful!

Oh yeah, it's starting to sell pretty well too, thanks to all the reviews! W00t!

My sales goal is not to make a lot of money (it won't happen), but to show that an "amber" rated story can sell as well as a "red" one. I prefer the "amber" stories and I know some others must too. They may include an element of nonconsensuality or blackmail/forced consensus, but are generally devoid of "hard" themes like torture, body modification, etc...

My "Clevernick" profile shows where to find my "amber" baby if you look around.

I am very appreciative of all the support above! Very! I feel like I'm a baby writer and you're all my family!

Congratulations Nick,

Best of sales, (I know where to get it:) )

Congratulations. I'm impressed and amazed. Getting published is an amazing feat. Being talented, energetic, attentive, smart and getting the timing right is just the prerequisite. I spoke to some authors a while back, and they said that people won't start to buy and read your books until you've released your third book. It seems to be some kind of sacred number in the business. It seems like making a splash first time around is unheard of. Good luck all the same. And it can still be a great book for future generations even if few notice now. Don't give up.
