I do still read books which are not erotica, and this one is a doozy of a science fiction novel. It’s actually been sitting in the TBR pile in my office for quite some time, so it’s about a dozen years old now, so some of the tech in it might seem a bit dated, but it’s an astonishing accomplishment, well deserving of a Hugo nomination for best novel. It’s the first in a trilogy.

Summer of Secrets, Part I
Okay, a little bit different this time out. I have been shooting for lengths around 12K-15K for this series, but “Summer of Secrets” is weighing in more about 25K. So, I decided to split it into two parts and this is the first one.
I also made the decision to make this an exclusive of this site for the first week that it’s out. It will be available as a pre-order on Smashwords shortly, but won’t go “live” there for this first week.
How much crazier can Danny & Cassie’s summer get, when Samantha & Sarah walk into the coffee shop to meet up with them?

The Newsletter is BACK! #35!
I’ve been able to scratch together the money to pay for another year of Constant Contact and thankfully they had not deleted my data, so restarting was fairly easy.
Anyway, here’s the link to Newsletter #35, the link to my Newsletter page, where you can sign up or check out past issues.
Testing, testing…
Am I successfully back up, with the leenyspress.com domain??
Site switch!
For financial reasons, I’m unable to afford the renewal on my Bluehost hosting agreement that is due, including renewing this domain name and email addresses under it. As a result, I’m moving my website/blog to a free wordpress.com version, at leenyspress.wordpress.com. See you there (if you’ve even managed to see this post?)?
Erotica Groups on MeWe
There are a number of erotica groups (or at least book groups which will accept erotica posts), to which I promote my books. Here’s my list…
The first three, I created and run:
- Menage Erotica Forum
- Science Fiction Erotica
- Taboo Erotica Club — MeWe rejected the name “Incest Erotica Club” but allows those promos.
The rest are run by other folks:
- All Books, All the Time
- Amore Book Group
- Book Nerd Wonderland
- Erotic Writers Group
- Erotica & Erotic Romance Book Lovers
- Gigi’s Book Club
- Mynae’s Book Nook
- Nasty Boy Romance
- Naughty + Nice Book Promos
- Passion for Books
- Science Fiction and Fantasy Romance
- Smut Writers
- Something Wicked Promotions
- Teaser Addict Presents…Pimp Those Books
If you’re aware of any I missed and would like to see them included, please let me know.
February 2022 Blog Status
February’s hit count is:
- Lower than January 2022 (by more than 25%, so it’s not just the length of the month);
- Lower than February 2021;
- Second lowest of the past 12 months;
Enough said about that. Can March be better, pretty please?
[March 17th and I’ve already surpassed February’s number!]
January 2022 Site Status
Although there are still some hours to go before the month is “officially” over, I can reach a couple of conclusions from my site’s stats, that are unlikely to be overturned:
- Traffic is rising, following the low of December — each of the full weeks of January were higher than the week before.
- January’s total, while higher than December’s, is still less than November’s and is a full 40% lower than January 2021.
It will take a lot more growth to get back to the old traffic levels, but it just seems people are online less right now, as others seem to be observing.
