How big should a coven be?

I have an idea for a paranormal erotica story preliminary titled “The Sex Coven’s First Warlock.”

Background: 80 years ago, a witch battles a succubus who was targeting her husband and steals the succubus’s powers, then learns to use those abilities to power her magical spells, making her a “sex witch”.

She was then able to take on acolytes by transforming into male form and impregnating them as well as duplicating the succubus powers, but since the sperm produced should still only contain X chromosomes, only daughters were expected.

At least, until my main character is unexpectedly conceived as a male fraternal twin, 61 years later. Now 19, he’s about to become the coven’s first acolyte warlock, in the hope that he can father sons as well as daughters.

Let’s just say he’s about to be in high demand…

Where I’m getting a bit hung up is deciding on a scheme to allow the daughters to become acolytes, generation after generation, without having sex with their relatives. The two schemes I’ve figured out produce totally different coven sizes, though – one has 88 witches after 80 years, the other almost 600.

It mostly matters because I need to know how many witches are in my warlock’s “dating pool” and how many aren’t…

Which size would make more sense to you?

AllAuthor.com? Tips, tricks?

I thought I would give AllAuthor.com a try, to boost some of my books. The non-taboo ones on Amazon, at least. Does anyone have advice on the best way(s) to leverage the site? My first problem is figuring out how to select the book that I’m supposed to be able to promote for free after upgrading to Pro. It keeps taking me to a payment page, instead of showing that I should get my first promotion for free. Is there a trick I’m missing, or does it take some time for the upgrade to take full effect?

Cover Update for “Year After” series

I’ve completed the cover update for the four novel set titled “First Year After” through “Fourth Year After”, also known as the “Our Love, After Dad Died” series. The background images correspond to four events during the series – a memorial service for Drew’s father in the first year, his marriage to Patti in the second year, a Labor Day pool party in the third year and Thanksgiving in the fourth year. If you’ve read the books, you know why these are significant events. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?

Feedback on Cover Designs?

For a while now, I’ve wanted to redo the covers for my novel series, consisting of First Year After, Second Year After, Third Year After, Fourth Year After, as they were rather simplistic (see above). When I originally created them, they were what I was capable of in GIMP2. After further study of the various options in GIMP2, I’ve managed the following redesign of the First Year After cover to add a background photo behind the three hearts image that I’ve always liked for the series. Making the background of the original hearts image to be mostly transparent without losing the shadows that surround them was the hardest part. But, I finally learned how.

It’s my intent to vary the background photos for each book. The series starts with the death of the narrative character’s father, so I thought I would start with a funeral theme, with Second Year After having a wedding theme, Third having a baby theme and Fourth maybe more of a party theme.

What I’d like to know is which of these three variants you like the best, based on changing the color of a semi-transparent layer in between the hearts and the photo. Do you like the light, the dark or the in-between grey shading?

Any other feedback you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance…
