Smashwords’ Summer/Winter Sale will run from July 1st to July 31st.
Two tiers of discounts:
* If normally priced over $2, they will be 50% OFF
* For those priced between $1 and $1.99, they will be 25% OFF, to keep the sale price over $0.99 (Smashwords minimum).
That leaves a few books which are already $0.99 or FREE, which will not be reduced.

Alexa has been on my list of want-to-read authors for quite a while and I’ve finally gotten around to purchasing one of her books.
Update: My review….
I love the writing style, it’s just that this was perhaps the wrong book to be my first “Alexaverse” read, despite the author’s note that I should not need to have read any of the other books to understand this one (I’ll also note that if you’re going to have a “preferred reading order” list for a connected universe, the best place for it is at the beginning of the book, not the end).
As for this story specifically, it left me feeling sad and uncertain how much of it was real, versus illusion being imposed on the main character. Perhaps I would have more certainty if I had read what came before it or that question would be answered by later books.
My very first erotica story (“A Dream for Papa”) was posted to Literotica on March 13, 2016. Ever since, I’ve counted that as the start of my writing “career”, even though I didn’t launch the “M.R. Leenysman” pseudonym until later that year (based on my Literotica login, which is leenysman, standing for “Leeny’s Man”).
So, this March 13th marks my 7th anniversary of doing this — my writer-versary, if you will. So, how am I going to observe it? By having a 50% OFF sale at my store here at Leeny’s Press for the whole week — March 13-19!!
Unlike sales at Smashwords which I’ve promoted in the past, this even includes my $0.99 books, marked down to just $0.49!! (Smashwords maintains a minimum of $0.99, even during sales, and marking books down to $0 doesn’t benefit me much)
However, so that credit card processing fees don’t eat up a bunch of small transactions, I am establishing a minimum total purchase amount of $1.45 (should let you buy THREE $0.49 books, if you choose that combo). I’m likely to keep that minimum in place after the sale.
Anyway, if you’ve been on the fence about trying one of my books, this would be the time to buy, don’t you think?
Newsletter issue #42 features the opening paragraph of Book #8 of the “Taboo in a College Town” series, as Danny relates his experience at college.
I am trying to decide between titling this book “Octet” or “Homecoming” — Let me know which you prefer.
Newsletter #42
Finished up the second half of this story, within the larger “Taboo in a College Town” series, just in time for the annual Smashwords sale.
Can Danny and Cassie get married, without an explosion of family secrets?
Yeah, right.

My Store:
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.
