Buckle Your Seatbelts….It’s Gonna be a Wild Ride!

Laura — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:00:54 +0000

Sorry I haven’t been posting and chatting as much as I usually do at Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads. But I’ve been totally slammed for the last week, working out the millions of details involved in launching The Manigault Vampires serial.

In fact Kittyfeather Press publishing the vamp series in ebook marks a MAJOR turning point in my career. Yeah, this slut is finally positioned to take off and zoom into the stratosphere.

Alrightyyyy!

Seriously though, going back to Kittyfeather is a giant step on my career path. Kittyfeather Press is my publishing company, and the one that has always sold the most books for me. It’s the publisher that made me one of the most financially successful of the small press novelists and poets. I founded it in 1988, and it wasn’t until 2005 that I began allowing other publishers to sell and distribute my books.

What can I say? Five years later I’m not terribly happy with this arrangement and all the disasters I’ve managed to survive with a few of these publishers.

Yeesh!

So I’ve decided to take back some control by giving the vampire series to Kittyfeather to publish as serial ebooks.

Because Kittyfeather is my company that means it moves fast like me, and everything it does is unusual and different. I know, but I can’t help it. Being “normal” is such a snooze. LOL

So if you wanna keep up with me, you need to get on my email list.

Many of you from Twitter, my Facebook Fan Page, and Goodreads are already on my list. But many of you aren’t. Those who are receive my monthly newsletter, my twice-a-week blog notifications, and soon a monthly notification to let you know when the next installment in The Manigault Vampires goes on sale.

As you know, I’m busy as hell these days, writing new novels and keeping up with my fast-track career. That means this email list is the only way my readers and fans can keep up with everything that happens to me. It’s also the only way you’ll find out about ALL the cool stuff I’m creating for you.

There are a few ways to get on my email list if you aren’t already. You can sign up for my Newsletter under the “Contact” button on this site at http://www.laurastamps.com/contact/newsletter/

Or you can send me an email at laura@laurastamps.com and I’ll add you to the list.

Whatever you do, GET ON THIS LIST! Why? Cause the SexWitch is free at last and ready to rock n’ roll.

Yeah, it’s gonna be a wild ride. I guarantee it! *naughty grin*

“I loved that I met Laura Stamps on Goodreads.com. I personally would not have thought about reading a paranormal erotic romance with witches if it hadn’t been for Laura. She didn’t just say ‘Read my books.” She was funny, engaging, totally wicked and I love her empowering sexuality. She gives great advice without trying. Great blog!” (Kenjii, California)

Sex Groups for Baby-Boomers

Laura — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:01:00 +0000

Two weeks ago I joined a social networking site for Baby-Boomers (people born between 1946 and 1964 and beyond). It’s called Eons (http://www.eons.com). Ever heard of it? I hadn’t.

Here’s what happened. A few days after I was censored at the Sex and Erotica forums at Amazon, one of my good friends there (thanks, Plush!) told me about Eons. He’s been a member for a year or so, and he encouraged me to join because Eons has some fun sex groups. So I signed up, and I’ve been checking it out ever since.

Yeah, they do have sex groups at Eons. Lots of them. But they seem to fall into two categories. The first sex groups I joined were fun in the beginning, but I quickly discovered they were more into discretion and innuendo. The "tease" was the big thing for them, and no graphic or dirty talk was allowed. That’s cool, but just too 1950s for me, ya know? *naughty grin*

However two of my new friends there started private sex groups for graphic sex talk. Yeah, this dirty girl is having MAJOR fun now! So I’ve decided Eons is a pretty cool place, and I thought I’d talk about it a little on this blog.

Like many social networking sites, Eons allows you to build a friends list and send PMs from your own inbox. One of the things I love about PaganSpace is you can send a PM to everyone on your friends list all at once. Can’t do that at Eons. But like I said, I’ve found some fun sex groups there, and they are very active (like 5-6 new threads every day).

There are lots of singles at Eons looking to hook up with other singles. Lots of married people networking and flirting. And lots of guys interested in cyber-sex.

It’s just a very active, really fun social networking site. So if you decide to join or you’re already a member, send me a friend invitation. My user name at Eons is LauraStamps.

Okay, gotta run. I’m working like crazy, trying to make my next book deadline (gee, what a surprise *LOL).

Catch ya later!

Sexually Censored…Again sigh

Laura — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 12:16:00 +0000

Well, I hadn’t planned to talk about this, but it looks like I need to. Yeah, I’ve been sexually censored. Again. *shakes my head in amazement*

These daily blog posts appear in a number of places, including my blog at LiveJournal, PaganSpace, my Goodreads page, and my Goodreads sex/erotica group "The Goodreads Purvettes." Two weeks ago my blog at PaganSpace was censored. There had been some complaints about my lusty blog, and management was afraid they would lose advertisers because of my sexy posts. Even though no one under 18 is allowed to join, I was told I could no longer post about sex on my blog. I also wasn’t allowed to use the word "sex" in the titles of my posts. Yeah, like that’s gonna happen (lusty grin). So I stopped posting on that blog, and now my posts go out to my PaganSpace friends in daily PMs. I have to say the management at PaganSpace felt genuinely bad about this, and they were easy to work with when it came to finding a solution we both could live with.

Now it’s happened again. I swear if I wasn’t such a simple slut this could give me a complex or something (LOL). Last night I was censored on the Sex and Erotica forums at Amazon. They said someone had complained that my posts were profane (not), and I was a spammer (not). Both untrue. Nevertheless, they removed all my posts from both forums. Hundreds of posts. Unfortunately, the Sex forum was dead when I discovered it and started posting on it last year. Now it’s alive and very active. Well, up until I was banned last night. I think what happened is someone was jealous of how popular I was over there and decided to slam me. Not that I’ve ever slammed anyone over there, even the real spammers. That’s just not my style.

Erotica novelists have to deal with censorship like this from time to time. Successful women writers are also targets, and some men get a thrill out of trying to knock us down a notch or two. All of this has happened to me in my long writing career.

But twice in two weeks is a bit much. Even for me. It’s just a shame a woman in this country still can’t come out publicly and say she loves sex, ya know? Oh, well. I’m a bit bummed about it today. And I’m going to miss all the horny, pervy guys at the Sex forum at Amazon. But I will recover, and tomorrow I’ll be back to my slutty self again. I promise.

Let’s Get Kinky!!

Laura — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 11:38:00 +0000

On Wednesday I ran into one of my kinky, oversexed local friends. You may remember she’s the one who told me about the dating site, Horny Matches (http://www.HornyMatches.com). Well, this time she gave me another site she uses to meet local men. In fact she met her current boyfriend here, whom she’s crazy about.

It’s a dating site for people who are into kinky sex.

http://www.alt.com

Whoa, major fun! Once again you don’t have to join to search the site for men in your area. LOVE the list of kink you can choose from, too. Of course I chose my fav (exhibitionism: sex in public places). When I did, a list of local guys in the age range I specified came up.

Here’s the funny thing. At this site instead of "big head" shots you get lots of "little head" shots. Yeah, you heard me right. I saw a nice selection of cocks in my local area, all sizes too (I know…I’m smiling like crazy right now *lusty grin*). Of course that may be because cock shots are typical among exhibitionist men. If you were to search for doms, you might get lots of black leather, whips, and chains. Who knows?

At any rate, I think this would also be a great site to find guys interested in cyber-sex. So check it out. Once again it’s free to join.

Gotta love the web, ya know?! *kinky grin*

What is Goodreads?

Laura — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 11:58:00 +0000

Hope you had a good weekend! Mine was verrrry productive. I worked like a wild woman and completed about half the tasks on my to-do list, things I had to let fall behind while I was trying to meet my last book deadline for the year. Several of these tasks had to do with Goodreads (http://www.Goodreads.com).

I mention Goodreads from time to time on this blog, and it has occurred to me you may not know what that is. Goodreads is an awesome social networking site for booklovers. Kinda like MySpace, only it’s just for book-addicts. I joined in June of 2007 when it small and six months old. Now there are over a million members, and it’s HUGE. Love it!

Goodreads is like Librarything and Shelfari, only much, much better IMO. That’s because it offers something they don’t….endless ways to chat with other members through comments on reviews, private messages (your own inbox email thingy), hundreds of groups, and much more.

It makes it so easy to network with the fans/readers of my novels as well as other erotica-addicts that you can find me there all day every day, chatting like crazy. So if you’d like to meet other people who read the same kinds of books you do, check out Goodreads and join. You’ll love it as much as I do.

In fact I need to dash over there right now and see what everyone’s been saying. Check you later…..!!

Blog Chat Next Friday!!

Laura — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:05:00 +0000

If you’re on my email newsletter list, or you’re one of my Goodreads friends, or you’re a member of the GR Purvettes group then you received a notice this week about my blog chat next Friday.

This is going to be soooooo much fun!! I have been trying to think of a way to have a chat that will be super-easy for everyone I know around the world to participate in (which is whythis chat will last for eleven hours).

So come join me on Friday, September 19, from 8:00am – 7:00pm (EST) for a chat at this naughty blog. Why did I come up with this brilliant idea (grin)? Because so many of my readers/fans/friends aren’t able to come to one of my booksignings in South Carolina since you don’t live close by. Well, that’s not fair! So I thought it would be great fun to do a kinda virtual booksigning by holding a blog chat here at this blog. That way no one gets left out. Works for me!

Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll be online that day from 8:00am -7:00pm (Eastern Standard Time) to answer your questions. The post for that day will be about the chat, so read it first. Then ask me a question by making a comment on that post. I’ll respond to your comment, and that’s how we’ll chat. Easy for everyone because you don’t have to be a member of LiveJournal to post a comment on my blog. Plus, you won’t need to download any fancy chat software.

And don’t worry if you live outside the U.S., and the time for this chat is still inconvenient for you. Just send your question in an email to laurastamps@mindspring.com and I will post it for you in the comment section that day and then answer it. All you’ll have to do is tune in later when it’s convenient for you, and you’ll see my answer to your question, plus all the responses to it from others participating in the chat. Major fun!!

Okay, ask me anything. Questions about my novels (my paranormal romance and erotica series). Questions about the yummy heroes in all my series (Donnie, Wynn, Blaine, Dray). Questions that are naughty or sexy or wicked (my fav kind…as you know!). Anything. The point of this chat is to have lots of girl fun just like at one of my booksignings. Really. We’ll have a blast, talking romance, sex, books, yummy guys, Witches, sex, faeries, yummy guys, sex, and vampires. Did I mention yummy guys and sex? I did, didn’t I? Oh, well. You know how my mind works (naughty grin). So come join me next Friday, and we’ll chat!
