Synchronicity

I hadn't meant to make a third post this weekend. I hadn't even meant to make a second post, really. But a comment from Uzobono led me to the website of a really amazing digital artist who goes by Android Jones. I admired his work for awhile, and then I opened a new tab and went over to the EMCSA because I'd been meaning to re-read Tabico's Yellow for ages. Now seemed like a good time.

Well, I reread "Yellow" and enjoyed it even more the second time around because even though I didn't remember much about it, I knew not to get attached to any of the characters. If you decide to read it, take Tabico's warning seriously: people do die, and in some pretty nasty ways. "Yellow" is as much a horror story in the Clark Ashton Smith vein as it is an EMC story.

Now back to my story. I finished "Yellow," closed the tab, and found myself back on Android Jones' page. Right in front of me was the video I've embedded below. The synchronicity was exquisite.

You don't have to have read Tabico's story to enjoy Android Jones' video; the pleasure here comes solely from watching a great artist at work. But if you have read "Yellow," the video will have some extra resonance for you.

Your opinions, please?

As long as I've been writing fetish erotica, you'd think I'd have no trouble coming up with sexy covers for my books. Sadly, I've been too prudish on that front. I've also been struggling to learn how to use Gimp, which has been a bitch and a half, but I've finally brought her to her knees. Tell me what you think of my new cover for Love in a Silver Socket.

And while I'm at it, I'll also offer you a 25%-off coupon for LIASS, good at Smashwords until November 19. Just purchase it with the code "CS52S."

Enjoy!

Total enclosure, vac bed, faux-latex heaven

I just found this series via Oddee, and it's much better than what I planned to post today. That one will wait another week...or three, depending on what I hear back from a certain someone in the coming week.

The photographer is Julien Palast, and you can see his whole amazing series here.

"Octopus Vulgaris," now with more hentai

Yesterday I finished revising "Octopus Vulgaris" and published it on both Amazon and Smashwords. I've beefed up the tentacle sex scenes, done a lot of general polishing, and come up with a bit of artwork (Gimp is fucking hard to work with, but I'm determined to learn!).

If you'd like to purchase "Octopus Vulgaris" at Smashwords, you can get it for 25% off through November 14 by using the coupon code "WF74U."

Where you gonna go? Where you gonna hide?

Thanks to Tim Hansen for reminding me of the greatness that is the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Most people remember it for the terrifying ending, and that certainly is worth remembering. But for my money, the scariest thing in the movie is Brooke Adams as a pod person. Remember this?



I saw another version of the story in 1993. It can't match the '78 version for scares, but it does have an insanely creepy performance by Meg Tilly (first up below), plus a bathtub tentacle scene and a really lovely pair of natural breasts (both in the bottom clip).

I know none of this is really mind control; it's squick plus cloning. But can you really fault me for posting these videos? I think not.

Some Sorayama art you probably haven't seen before

It's been too long since I went looking for fetish art by Hajime Sorayama, and a lot of new stuff has cropped up in the meantime - not least an official Facebook page. It doesn't have much content, but seeing that it existed, and that it contained some images I hadn't seen before, started me off on a new Google Image Search. I founds tons of interesting new images on this page - but warning: if you follow the link link, you might end up spending an hour or two over there; and you'll have to weed through some bad quality images in search of the good ones. It's worth the trouble, though.

Here are a few of my new favorites from today - leaning toward the images that suggest mind control or other types of bondage. Most of these pics came from the sites linked above, but I've scavenged them from other places as well.

Sorayama also has a longstanding official website, which you can find here.

Celebrate with me!

I've just been noodling around on Smashwords, and to my surprise, I've found out that Sleepwalkers is the #12 best seller in the category of Sci-Fi Erotica. I wasn't sure until now how I should measure my success. This has made me so happy that I want to share the good news - in more ways than one! Bragging here is Step #1. Step #2 is seeing if I can jack my stats even higher with a judicious application of coupons. ;-P

Right now, the book is priced at $3.99USD; but if you purchase it at Smashwords using the code "WE56P," you'll get 25% off. The coupon is only good through October 29.

Have fun!
