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

imperfect_cupcake · 06-05-2012, 02:18 AM

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!!

"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 · 06-05-2012, 05:02 AM

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

DapperButch · 06-05-2012, 05:42 AM

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

girl_dee · 06-05-2012, 05:48 AM

Congratulations!!!!!!

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

imperfect_cupcake · 06-05-2012, 06:36 AM

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 · 06-05-2012, 06:59 AM

Purchased! Looking forward to reading it. Congrats!

Novelafemme · 06-05-2012, 07:26 AM

This is fabulous! Purchasing here as well!

Congratulations!!

Julien · 06-05-2012, 07:31 AM

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

Truly Scrumptious · 06-05-2012, 08:07 AM

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

Cin · 06-05-2012, 08:17 AM

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 · 06-05-2012, 10:22 AM

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 · 06-05-2012, 10:48 AM

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 · 06-05-2012, 10:53 AM

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

Massive · 06-05-2012, 11:40 AM

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!!

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
