Quick Reminder

Hiya Peeps!

We're a week away from the release of my collection of holiday erotica short stories. I wanted to give everyone a reminder! Six Contemporary Holiday Erotic Short Stories will be out September 1st. I have the pre-orders for the ebooks set at both Amazon and Smashwords (click on either of those to be whisked away!), and the paperback version will be available close to then as well. (I didn't see how to make the paperback version available for preorder on Amazon, so I decided to simply click publish on August 31 to have it ready to buy on September 1st.)

As a reminder, each of the six stories has already been published on Amazon, so if you've already read most or all of them, unless you want them all in one bundle (and I'm all for that!), you might want to pass on this collection. I will be charging $2.99 for the ebook on both Amazon and Smashwords, and $9.99 for the paperback, which will only be available on Amazon. I will, of course, have the link for the paperback for you when it's available. I will also change the link for the Amazon ebook when it's published so it'll go to your country's Amazon page when you click on it, rather than just the US version now. 

That's all I have for now. I hope some of you are excited for this release! If you know you want to get it, I'd be thrilled if you pre-ordered. If not, I'll have the links all over this blog, my website, and Twitter, so you won't miss out. Thanks again, everyone! See you soon!

Six Contemporary Holiday Erotic Short Stories

Hiya Peeps!

I've put down my first book for pre-order on Amazon. It's, as the title to this post says, Six Contemporary Holiday Erotic Short Stories. This is a collection of my six holiday stories that I've published over that last couple of years. It will be available as a Kindle book and paperback on Amazon, as well as an ebook on Smashwords and its affiliates (B&N, Kobo, iBooks, etc.) I've put it in to pre-order on Amazon on September 1st, the Friday before the Labor Day holiday in the US. (It is a book of holiday shorts, after all!)

EDIT: The pre-order has gone live. Find it on Amazon here!

I will be charging $2.99 for it as an ebook, and a price to be determined for the paperback. (I'll update this when I know.) If you were to buy each short story individually, that would run you $5.94, so the savings is about 50%. This collection will not be a part of the Kindle Unlimited program, as I am putting it on Smashwords, but each individual story will remain in the program. 

Anyway, here are the cover and the description, which lists which six stories will be in this collection. Thank you for reading, everyone! Have a great day/week!

Six Contemporary Holiday Erotic Short Stories

This bundle includes six tales of contemporary romantic erotica.

These stories have already been published on their own, but you can get all six in one handy book at a bargain price!

We celebrate Valentine’s Day with a girl who vows not to fall in love; a Halloween-themed frat-party in June where an innocent girl loses her virginity and soon after finds her true love; 4^th of July at the beach where a young woman who thinks a sex tape ruined her life finds the one for her; a Halloween dungeon where pleasure is the word of the day, not horror; a young woman who reconnects with an old flame before her Thanksgiving feast; and a toy-store clerk who finds the true meaning of Christmas in the arms of a handsome hunk.

Happy Anti-Valentine’s Day

The Odd Costume Party Fiasco

Their Own Fireworks

Mad Merlin’s Secret Dungeon

She Thanks His Giving

The Hot Clerk

At almost 50,000 words, Six Contemporary Holiday Erotic Short Stories is the perfect collection for celebrating sexy holidays all year round! These tales are explicit and fun!

What's Going On With Me?

Hiya Peeps!

How is everyone doing? Me? I'm fine. Slinging smut. What could be better, right? Today's post is going to be all about what I have planned in the very near future, basically through the summer months (or for those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, winter months). I've been awful about blogging lately, though if you follow along on Twitter, you probably know I don't shut up all that often over there. I think I'm fine with this, only giving you blog posts when I have something to say rather than try to jam something (hey-o!) down your throat every week.

First off, what do you think about my new greeting? I think it fits my personality a bit better than my old "Hello Lovelies." Do you like it? Not? Let me know on Twitter (@ClaraZaynn) or right here in the comments. Also, some of you might have noticed the writing tips/experiences I've written in the past few months. They were about how I use 20-minute word sprints, how I plot my short stories, how I edit my short stories, and about reviews, that one focusing primarily on the erotica-writing and reading audience. I hope you've enjoyed them, either as tips/motivation, or simply as a look into my process. Do you have any more writing topics you'd like me to tackle? Let me know, again on Twitter or in the comments.

Okay, now onto the meat of the post. I'm still occasionally posting new Tumblr stories, quick reads at about 1500 words or so, complete with a sexy .gif or pic that inspired the story. I posted my latest, The Cheer Office, yesterday, so feel free to give it a look. Even if you're not on Tumblr, you can still read it and my other stories, and they are all free, of course. 

Next, I'm in the beginning stages of a new short story which may become a novella. I unveiled the cover on Twitter a few weeks ago, but then became distracted with non-erotic writing, so I had to take a break from the naughtiness. You can see it right here now (that's it to the left!). I'm hoping this story will be available to buy in early August, but since I'm still in the early stages of the first draft, it may be mid-August, depending on how easily the words flow. You'll see more about it, especially on Twitter, when it's closer to release. Feel free to let me know what you think about the cover here in the comments or on Twitter!

And, finally, I plan on bundling my six holiday-themed stories into one collection, a la The Babysitter Fun Series and Six Contemporary Erotic Shorts Volume 1. It will be priced at $2.99 and be available at Amazon in both Kindle format and paperback (though no idea on the price of the paperback yet), as well as Smashwords and their affiliates (B&N, iBooks, Kobo, etc.). The stories are: Mad Merlin's Secret Dungeon (Halloween), She Thanks His Giving (Thanksgiving), The Hot Clerk (Christmas), Happy Anti-Valentine's Day (Valentine's Day), Their Own Fireworks (4th of July), and The Odd Costume Party Disaster (Halloween in June - yes, that one is a made-up frat party holiday, but it fits!). I'll have much more on this as it gets closer to release, which I'm envisioning as Labor Day here in the States (1st weekend of September, I believe). 

So that catches you up on what I have planned for now. I'd love to hear comments about what you think of my two upcoming releases, my new Tumblr story (or any of the older ones), and your thoughts on future writing-based blog posts. Give me your questions/comments below in the comment section, or hit me up on Twitter, either with an @-mention or a DM. I'll be thrilled to hear from you! Have a great day!

Out Now: Happy Anti-Valentine's Day

Hello Again Lovelies! 

I posted yesterday that Happy Anti-Valentine's Day should be out today, and it is! Please head over to Amazon to give it a look. It's an erotic romance that's centered on Valentine's Day, but it holds up year round. Here's the official description from its Amazon page:

23-year-old Bailey Martin has never known another boyfriend other than Chip, who always made Valentine’s Day magical and romantic. This year, though, she finds herself single and dreading February 14th. Her bestie, Trina, has her back. Sort of. Trina’s forcing Bailey out on Valentine's night to celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day. She’s forbidden to think about romance, but instead must get with and leave as many guys as she can, even if it's so not her thing. Will Bailey be able to go through with it? Can she embrace her slutty side and enjoy Anti-Valentine's Day? And, maybe most importantly, will anything happen with that hot guy at the bar, even though romance is strictly forbidden?

I really enjoyed writing this one, and it may be my favorite of all of my stories so far (and I love them all!). I originally had it planned as a devilish erotica chock-full of slutty fun, with a small romance at the end, but as I got going, the romance took over. Yes, there's still plenty of hot sex (can you say glory hole action with big black cocks?), but I feel it's now more of an overall story. I hope you pick it up to see if you agree! It's 99¢ to buy, or you can borrow it from Kindle Unlimited for free if you're a member. (And, seriously, if you love to read, KU is a great way to get plenty of books!)

Thanks for reading! See you next week! (And I leave you with a picture of the cover.)

Happy Anti-Valentine's Day

Hello my lovelies!

I have a short coming out for Valentine's Day this year called "Happy Anti-Valentine's Day." I'm in the process now of finalizing the edits, and then I'll whisk it off to Amazon for you to read! Despite what the title says, this is a romance, though it doesn't start out that way. And it's got plenty of hot erotic action! It's also clocking in at over 12,000 words, so it's more a novelette than a short story, so more, eh-hem, bang for your buck. 

This one follows Bailey Martin, a recent college grad who was dumped by her long-time boyfriend, Chip, six months prior. And when I say long-time, I mean it. They started dating on Valentine's day in 8th grade, and Chip continued to make it the most magical and romantic of holidays for Bailey. Now, ten years later and single, she's not sure how she's going to get through the holiday. Her bestie, Trina, has her back. Sort of. She's forcing Bailey out on Valentine's night to celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day, where she needs to slut it up to the max, worry nothing about romance, and get with and leave as many guys as she can. It's not Bailey's thing, as she's never had sex with anyone except Chip, but Trina won't let her say no. 

Will Bailey be able to go through with it? Can she embrace her slutty side and enjoy Anti-Valentine's Day? And, maybe most importantly, will anything happen with that hot guy at the bar, even though romance is strictly forbidden? Find out tomorrow in Happy Anti-Valentine's Day! (I will, of course, have links when they're available.)

Check out the cover:

I hope you give this one a read when it's out. As I said above, I will update this post with the links to it on Amazon when it's available. It will be 99 cents, and free if you're a member of Kindle Unlimited (which, if you love to read, you should be!). 

Until next week, my lovelies, happy smutty reading!
