#1 in Taboo Erotica

At Fictionwise when you order them by Bestselling. Of course, that can change at the drop of a hat (or a snowflake) so I thought I'd take a picture. Pretty. (click it. it gets bigger!) :-)

And thank you to whoever rated me as Great! Big fat kisses XXX

"I discovered an intense, raw, passionate story about loneliness, longing, and unrequited love..."

I always sweat the first review! Black Raven Reviews have reviewed Father's Keeper and I've walked away with four stars (divas). Yay!

Now I can breathe. The first one is done. And it's not too shabby.

We are dealing with some snowy rain today as we head out. It's snow...it's rain...then snow. Is that snain?

Father's Keeper is out!

Available on the Excessica home site, at All Romance Ebooks, Bookstrand and Kindle right now. Coming lickety split to print, and a few other vendors also. Took me a while to get here. We were traveling and did anyone know there is a teeny bit of snow out there....LOL.

Have a super weekend!

This

Month! It's coming! :) Can't wait. Counting down. Hope your Christmas and holidays and New Year's Eve were festive and your new year is off to a great start.

Be blessed.

jeesh...amazon

Some of you may have heard about Amazon pulling incest-related erotica. So, I've been reading a lot of the uproar and there is a string or whatever you call it on Twitter with the hash tag #amazoncensors.

I won't lie, this could affect me with my titles like Uncle Ed's Lap and the upcoming Father's Keeper. UEL is 'incest' in so far as it is a younger woman falling for her older widowed uncle (by marriage) and Father's Keeper is a long buried crush on a stepfather that emerges in adulthood and turns to an affair. Both are technically incest, in my understanding, so I guess theoretically, they too could disappear from Amazon at any moment (well, not FK as it's not there yet).

Selena Kitt blogs about this much more eloquently than I am managing right now on TSPR site and it's been covered on several sites including Teleread and Slashdot. Read up and weigh in if you feel they've gone too far.

I can say this, I've read graphic rape/murder/torture etc scenes or full chapters about gory serial killer murders and basically step by step instructions on how to commit a horrible crime that bother me way more than a grown man deciding he wants to have an affair with his step mom. Either way, if you feel the urge to speak up, join the Twitter stream, contact Amazon and have your voice heard, blog it, whatever you feel is right. Because without us (the customer) there is no Amazon. If enough people speak up, maybe they'll stop picking and choosing at random what is 'appropriate' and what is not. If there is going to be a morals code, it needs to be clear, concise and listed for all to read, understand and FOLLOW.

Click Me, Friend Me, Follow Me...Whatever The Kids Are Calling It These Days

Howdy, all. Hope you are well on this frigid Tuesday. We're currently on the East Coast and it is, well...Brrrr sums it up.

I'm playing around with Goodreads right about now. I have screwed it up three times or so. I'll get it. I've contacted them to let them know that I am in fact, well, myself, and to let me have my page. I hear they work pretty fast, so hopefully soon I'll have control of my author page.

What is my point (it seems obvious I need more coffee :) )? My point is, if you are a Goodreads reader be my friend, click my button, follow me, whatever the kids are calling it these days. I was shocked to see how many ratings I already had. And most good. Which makes me heart happy.

Back to work. We leave within the hour.

[Parker]

Now available...

Balance

Last night I got a no on a short story. It's one of those iffy shorts that I knew wouldn't work for everyone, but still...a no is a no is a no. Then this morning I tripped over this doing my morning coffee cruise around the internet. I have so much unpacking and washing to do that traipsing around online seems that much more appealing. Anyway, wow! Talk about balance. A no that was sort of disappointing and then a review that was so wonderful!

I'm so, so pleased and the reviewer nailed my own emotions about Julianne. I love when I can tell that someone really got the tone of a piece. It makes me feel all sunny inside. Almost makes me forget how much laundry is in there to be done. And how much sand has been magically transported into my house. :D

Coming In January 2011

Going home again can be hard. Especially when your mom has left your step-father and you've got a tag along boyfriend in tow. But going home can also teach you a lot about who you are. And what you want...

Coming January '11 to Excessica

[sqeeeeeeal!]

"Once you read this story you will instantly become a fan of Parker Ford!"

Srsly. Big huge thanks to Claudia at Manic Readers for this review. It made my very long and very busy week. :) Go read it for yourself!

I was worried about reviewers' takes on Games as it is such an intense and risky book (in my opinion). So far, so good (knock wood).

P

a very unexpected~

very sweet review of Uncle Ed's Lap up at Coffee Fueled Erotica (written by the clever Willsin Rowe). I can only read that kind of review once or I feel my head swelling. So, so nice. I'm flattered. :)

P

[gasp!]

It's so pretty. FICTION is out today on Excessica's site and various vendors.

Good way to start a Friday. Now I have a mountain of unpacking to do. And then we have to wash that mountain. [grumble-mumble-sigh]

[Parker]

Gorgeous!

Uncle Ed's Lap is now in print. Available on Amazon. Under ten bucks. Score! Can't wait to hold my copies in my greedy little hands. :)

[Parker]

Up for best cover!

Uncle Ed's Lap is up for best cover at HEA reviews. Won't you go vote? Voting runs until the 8th. I didn't design the cover (I wish!), Selena Kitt did, but I think it's the best. It's one of my favorite covers ever. :)

[Parker]

Double the interviews, double the fun...

While we were out basking--and by basking I mean frying--in the sun that shone down fiercely during our latest trip, I was interviewed not once...but twice! (man that is a hell of a sentence, yeah?)

Firstly, Lux Zakari asked a few questions along her Dirtyville/Kinkyville interview route. And hey, I answered. Look at me go :) And then I see from my mail this morning that I am the interview spotlight at 1 Romance Ebooks this week.

Now I have to go find the aloe lotion and pack. Again. This time I'm taking more sunscreen. Stay cool.

[Parker]

Seriously

Has seriously reviewed both of my books! A great review for Uncle Ed's Lap and a staggering review for Games. Much appreciated. I can't hardly believe all the good words on my work lately. :)

[Parker]

If I could kiss this reviewer...I would!

Such a great review at Happily Ever After Reviews for Uncle Ed's Lap. I swear, I got a little teary eyed. What a great way to end a lazy weekend in the sun. We're actually at home for a week or two. :) Five tea cups! Now I want tea, but iced of course.
