I'll Show You Mine: Tales of Dyke Dyke Drama and Smut - I'm finally published!

[imperfect_cupcake]

It's taken me such a long time to gather up the courage to do this...

But I'm finally published!! Woot!! yeay!!



free sample of book available (first two stories)

But very *very* happy it's out there!! It took quite a while to get it done!



YEAY!! :D

"8 Short Stories spanning 18 years and three countries: coming out as lesbian from bisexual, discovering a "Femme" ID and her desires in a dyke sub-culture sexuality, losing her first long-term relationship, learning about kink, disclosing an abused past to a lover, rediscovering sex after depression and (dyke) divorce, and ending with a dream of new love and sexual adventure. "

wow that pic is MASSIVE! sorry! not sure how to shrink that as it's a link! ?

If anyone out there does read it, could I ask a favour? Could you do a readers review? there's a button for it on the book page.

Many grateful thanks in advance. x

oh and Juneville did that cover - isn't it great?? since it's the size of godzilla and in your face and all, can't miss it lol

[Jess]

CONGRATS Barb!!!!! So very happy for you! Looking very forward to reading it.

Huge Hugs and stuff!


annnd don't worry.. it's not too big :sunglass:

[DapperButch]

Fantastic, HB! Congratulations! I will forsure purchase! My first thought was that I loved the cover!

[girl_dee]

Congratulations!!!!!!

If you are going to the reunion you should bring some copies!!!

[imperfect_cupcake]

Thanks so much all!! the encouragement helps!!

I would but I'm in Oxford, UK - so can't come to the reunion. Not enough dosh for that!

The first two stories are about coming out femme into butch so it's a bit of a neiche market!

And it's an ebook - that's why it can be sold for $2.99 a copy. But it comes in PDF (which can be printed and what I did with my one free copy cause I LIKE paper), Kindle, EPub (ibook and ipad and sony reader and all that lot), RTF (for reading in word), HTML (for reading online) and a few other formats.

your support is greatly appreciated! And if anyone does read it an like it - could I ask that you click the button on the home page you buy it from for a "reader's review"? I'd love to hear what you think!!

Big thanks to BFP for all the help and support. Some of you have been around since I first came out as femme (OMG.) all those freaky years ago! So I'm sure you know some of the stories in that bloody book from hearing me whinge about it!

I didn't even think of that! How weird!

[Hollylane]

Purchased! Looking forward to reading it. Congrats!

[Novelafemme]

This is fabulous! Purchasing here as well! :) Congratulations!!

[Julien]

Congratulations on the book publishing. It is great to read good news like this, makes me hopeful for my own.

[Truly Scrumptious]

Congratulations!
Just bought it as well.
You had me at “shove your penetration friendly dolphin shaped dildos up your dusty vanilla twats”. Fabulous!

[Cin]

I love it so far and now that we own it, I can read it all. I will for sure add my glowing review on Smashwords.

Congratulations, well done!
Cin

PS: I always knew you were funny, but until now I had no idea how funny and how talented.

[imperfect_cupcake]

oh thank god. lol. that's a big relief. Thank you very much for telling me!

I've only heard back from one person and they were a wee young ickle rather innocent and not very experienced english butchie and her response was "omg I'm speechless."

soooo I was rather nervous! I probably should have warned her before she bought it that it gets really graphic... eep.

Maybe not for those with fresh young eyes?

[Random]

Babs...

You are the only writer I know who can write about absolutly dirty, filthy, tears and snot streaming down your face sex, and still have it tinged with innocence...

Lovely reading you again...

[Talon]

Congratulations Mz. Morgan....Delicious cover...makes me *want* to read what's in between...yeah, I'm that pigley and shallow. :dozey:

[Massive]

Congratulations on getting published!
As soon as I get paid I'll be buyin' it too!
(and I may also be Britishdyke, but I'm no shy bairn ;) )

HB: I've always thought your posts were genuine,witty,and hilarious.
I'd Love to buy this for my Kindle but I haven't been able to find it.
Do you perhaps have a link for me to buy it from Amazon?

thanks Gina!! :D

it does come in a version for kindle (amazon will be carrying it in a week or so I think but they may up the price)

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/168747

that takes you to the book page. scroll down to

Available ebook reading formats

and you will see, about the 3rd or fourth option listed:

Kindle (.mobi for Kindle devices and Kindle apps) Download

click on the download word. You may not be able to down load the two free stories in kindle - you might only be able to read those in HTML to sample. I think you might have to purchase to be able to download in the kindle file.

Random:

thank you. really, really. That is a super compliment. and I feel quite squishy over that :bunchflowers:

[GinaSofia]

Really, WOW!
I've only read about 5 pages as I have to do it when I get the chance, but I must say that if the chicks moaning and cumming over the 50 Shades of "oh crap!" book would read this, your book would win, really.
I'd love to gush it about it some more but I truly must get back to it.
EXCELLENT!

[*Anya*]

Honey, I am not able to purchase it for my Kindle. When I search for it in the Kindle store, they are unable to find it.

Do I have to join Smashwords in order to purchase it directly from your site?

Thanks!

PS: looking forward to reading it. I always try to support dyke writers, especially when they write as well as you do:)

thank you!!! very very much. I'm really glad to hear you say that. Big massive hug for the feedback xx

Anya - it does come in kindle format and once I get put into the premium catalouge, it will be available through amazon, but it sits there at "pending" waiting for a human to review it to see if the title and cover are too "risky". So who knows when they will come to a decision.

Yes, just like amazon or any other on line store, you have to register with the site in order to make a purchase. I know it sucks and many people don't want to register with any on-line store in order to purchase anything. So if you don't register to places like amazon or if you despised registering with kindle to buy books, I'm afraid smashwords is no different from them. Yes, you do have to register with a name and an email. However, if it's any consolation, I have never received anything from them aside from stats about how the book is selling.

And massive thanks Anya <3 - it's really helpful to hear people enjoy what I do. and it's actually really helpful to hear *anything* back, good or bad. I do get nervous when I don't hear anything at all.

I do have someone from Extra! (canuck gay newspaper) who will be in england in July and is going to do a wee interview and review which is really nice of her to spend at day hanging out with me in oxford. It will be nice to see a face from home and to gab about sex in a west coast canuck kind of way lol

[always2late]

Congratulations!! Purchased..now I just need to find my USB to download onto my Kindle :)

[imperfect_cupcake]

I have just been told that it has gone into the premium catalouge - it is now available on on Kobo, Sony and Diesel Books, will be coming to Apple, Barnes & Noble and Amazon soon.

Hurrah! :D

So for those that want to buy, it might be easier to buy from http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/ for now until the amazon loads it into their system. I have no idea how that works.

But can I please ask for reader reviews? Anyone who has bought one, if you go back to http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/168747
the page you bought it, on the right hand side as you scroll down is, in tiny blue writing, "review this book."

If you could give me a readers review and rating there, I'd certainly appreciate it.

If you buy it from kobo, sony or diesel, rating it there would be incredibly helpful as well. I did get a review on two blogs so far and possibly a review in ExtraWest next month.

I want to htank everyone who has written me or IM'd me for their feedback, posative and negative, because I need to hear what worked and what didn't in order to become a better writer. So thank you very much for taking the time and the dosh to support my work and help me develop. Big massive thanks.

[imperfect_cupcake]

I just got my quarterly report back from the book sales :D

THANKS EVERYONE!!

My book is also now out in WHSmith and Barnes&Nobles on-line

as a hoo-rah for it doing better than I ever thought it would, I'm giving out coupons for the book to anyone who wants one for a limited amount of time. It can be found here:

http://femmeinadakini.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/free-smut-almost-kinda.html

You can only use the coupon at smashwords, though, just follow the links.

Big huge appreciation for the support and kindness and helpful critique I've gotten.

:-* :-* :-*

:-* :-* :-*

I'm about a third of the way through a new book and though I'd celebrate by putting the book on sale for $1 for a little bit - but not too long...

If you are one of the 200 that downloaded a free sample because you couldn't afford $3... nows your chance.

You can only get the sale price at smashwords, not a barnes and nobles or WHSmith.

Yes you can download the file for Kindle - it's on the table of types of downloadable files once you buy the item.

It also works with the kindle app for mobiles.

Big love to everyone xxx
