Life in my corner of the world is relatively calm at the moment. Most of my focus as of late has been on my writing and hanging out with my friends and family. We’re nearly at the start of summer which isn’t a time with a lot going on… well, besides graduation, I guess!
I imagine a lot of people are very excited about school being over for the year soon enough–or already. I hope if that’s the case, you have a great time on the off season.
Talk of schools when on the topic of Mind Control reminds me of trilby’s amazing Legacy, Modren’s Trigger-Happy Girl Hunt, Tabico’s Sweet Oil, A. Regina Cantatis’s Willing Subject, and I’m sure there are plenty more that aren’t coming to mind for me. If you want a story that suits the end of a school year, then my story Strapped would fit the bill!
Next week will be more of Ink Soaked Penumbra, but I have been working on stories outside of the Midas City universe. Which? Well, they aren’t coming for awhile, but I give a hint and just say “panties.” It won’t be for awhile, but I know a lot of people have been very excited to se more.
This weekend on ROM/the EMCSA I’ll be releasing a story named Meritocramancy, a story about magic and curses. On my Patreon, people will have a chance to see Jade from Silver Eclipse in an all new tale. If you’d like to learn more? Check out my patreon!
This week sees a new release in the Silver Girl series… Ink Soaked Penumbra Volume 2! There’s a lot of sexy fun in this award winning release, so I hope you’re all ready for some slick heat!
Ink Soaked Penumbra Volume 2: Shadow of Hope, Light of Desire
I hope that you’ve all been loving this series so far! The responses I’ve seen over in my discord have been very favorable, so I’m imagining that’s the norm. Feel free to join us, and share your thoughts!
There’s also some new art of everyone’s favorite Shadow Kitten over on my website! Clyde_S did an absolutely lovely job with this commission and I’m certain you’ll all agree!
Over here in Oregon I am dying from the heat so while I have a lot of great things I’m working on for all of you, and that’s going well, the heat doesn’t leave a lot of room for much else so I’ll leave you at that for now!
And if you’d like to see a preview image of Celia and Helena to whet your appetite and tempt you to pick up a copy? My editrix Kia commissioned Kem Nguyen to put together a lovely piece you can see over on my website!
Most writers don’t go back and reread their own work very often. It’s not that we dislike the works (though sometimes it can be a love-hate relationship) but the connection to it is a different one where we can just remember it, or where we don’t get the same enjoyment from examining the words on the page as thoroughly.
Ink Soaked Penumbra?
It’s one I go back to annually and gaze at a section here or there, or reread in its entirety. I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone feels about this expanded, more wholly edited edition!
I really cannot thank Kia enough for her hard work on the series. When it began back in 2005 I didn’t even read back over my own releases before posting them. By the time I reached The Argentum Project, I had a beta reader who pointed out the mistakes they found. Since then I’ve had several people skim for the errors they could find, and I’ve been very grateful to them all. I am similarly grateful to my other current editrix, aleksandra, even if her edited work has been largely confined to ROM/EMCSA releases.
Speaking of the EMCSA/ROM? I recently finished a series about a heroine going through a bovine transformation, but this weekend a new series begins with a tokusatsu twist on a recurring character! If you want to see all of it before anyone else, hop on over and support my patreon!
The biggest news from me for the moment is that I’m now fully vaccinated. It doesn’t kick in completely for another week, but as someone who has been very concerned about all of the nonlethal effects of things, this is a big deal for me.
After that?
My latest paperback release!
Ink Slick Preamble available now!
You can pick up the compiled e-book on Smashwords, and that gives you one easy way to read through Poetic License, Ballpoint to the Brain, Blotted Lace, Ink Blots, Sealed with a Kiss, Ink Bot, and Prequill all in one convenient file! If you want a paperback, or prefer the kindle store, you can pick up a copy on Amazon!
There’s a preorder available for the next story’s first volume, Ink Soaked Penumbra, and you can find that on Amazon or Smashwords!
So, that’s pretty exciting! The original series of Silver Girl is six books long now, though that’s hardly the end of the series… book six represents an important milestone: breaking past half way! There’s a lot more sexiness to come, so I hope you’ll join me!
So today is the last day of the Debased April sale, but for May I went a little differently…
Mothers’ Day
Three stories heavily featuring mothers (but not My Girlfriend’s Mom is a Hypnotist) are on sale for 25% off! Through June 3rd, the first Thursday of next month, you can pick up Strapped, Taming the MILF Next Door, and Traditions, all for 25% less than normal! This sale is only on Smashwords, and it’ll be over when next month gets a blogpost, so don’t miss out!
Strapped features a story of a stepmother who has something important to share with her stepdaughter, Taming the MILF Next Door has a precious young woman getting much closer to a very attractive woman, and Traditions has a young woman becoming a part of her mother’s family’s long held traditions.
All of these felt pretty appropriate to me for May, and I hope you enjoy them if you give this sale a look!
In a couple of weeks Ink Soaked Penumbra will release, and that story actually won an award! Way back when, the MC Community as I knew it on the fiction side of things was largely on one forum: the MC Forum. It’s changed a lot since then, but at the time it was under the leadership of JR Parz of Master PC fame. Some people wanted to start off a yearly awards program, to celebrate the most exciting releases of the year…
Some people reacted very poorly.
Between that and some of the very brazen heteronormativity of the MCF, that’s why I created the Argent Garden forum that would become the MC Garden later on.
Regardless, Ink Soaked Penumbra was voted the top FF story of 2007, which made me extremely excited. I don’t know if it’ll be the best story of 2021 on its rerelease, but I’ve done everything I can to make that the case!
That feels like a fair bit to talk about for the week, so that’s all for me! Take care of yourself and each other, and I hope you continue to enjoy!
Oh, before I go, while it seems the sale on Silver Eclipse has ended, my editrix has a post on the Silver Girl subreddit showing that two of the first three paperbacks are currently on sale! This isn’t something I can control, but if you want to grab a copy? Now is a good time!
I hope you’ve been having a decent April so far! Mine’s been alright. I’m very glad to be getting vaccinated, but also as a warning: be prepared to possibly feel like you have the flu for a good five days or more! It’s not very fun, but it’s much better than brain damage or lung scarring!
Wear a mask! Get vaccinated when you can if you don’t have legitimate health problems that make that impossible!
On other news, I’ve been doing a bit of reading lately, and I have some stories that you should read!
First off, have you read Modren‘s Whiteout? I feel like I’ve mentioned it a time or two but I can’t be bothered to check. If you haven’t, there’s never been a better time! The third follow-up to Whiteout, the Greyscale Anthology, is out now! Each of these are cute ongoing glimpses at the cast of Whiteout. Whiteout itself was a fun (if often anxiety inducing!) story about a super heroine who finds out she may or may not have a bit of a hypnosis fetish after running into the titular villain. I guess she technically isn’t the most titular, but she works for that more-or-less. Heavily recommended, give them a glimpse.
On the other hand, we have Skaetlett‘s Gatekeep Gaslight Girlboss. A hell of a title, right? This one is a fun look at a woman forced to take an internship as part of her college program, and well… a thing Skaetlett gets is how bad capitalists and business women really can be, and they use this to wonderful effect. It’s a fun read, and I recommend it if you like the thought of a businesswoman abusing an intern with mind control.
Additionally, I’ve been continuing to read through trilby as a before-sleep activity, and having a lot of fun with it. Recently finished a story that I don’t know how to properly describe besides “when you find out it was written in tribute to a dead character from another author’s work, you aren’t surprised.” Escapee is sad, and miserable, and it captures a thing I think is under represented sometimes…
Mind controllers who do the kinds of things you see in a lot of these stories?
Bad people. Really bad people.
Something makes me sad when a mind controller who does legitimately bad things is just glossed over, and you get this sense they’re both mind controlling women by the dozen but would never hurt a fly. That’s just… not how anything makes sense to me, without a good reason.
A follow-up to Escapee, Loveknot, also ended up on my to read list. It’s incredibly not Escapee, though it still shows how unrepentant many mind controllers are and expands on that universe in fun ways. It isn’t my favorite trilby story, but it’s still a good read.
So here you are, four stories you can read for free… so you can give them a look, then remember I have a sale going on all month!
All three books in the Debased series are on sale on Smashwords! Get yourself a copy today if you enjoy breasts as a mind control methodology and bratty women who always get what they want!
Don’t forget that this Tuesday, the final tale in the Ink Slick Preamble is being released! Be excited! Be hyped!
I hope you all had a great March, but now that it’s gone we get to move on to a new day, a new sale… and so on! In the future I want to try having a deal going every month, a few books that you can nab up for at least 25% off. I’ll still be releasing new stories, and I’d hardly mind if you buy stories that aren’t on sale, but a little something to help fill the world with more smut!
The next sale starts today, and goes through May 6th so it can be announced on the first Thursday of the month–when these go live!
As you may have guessed by the title… my Debased series is now on sale for 25% off through April!
Debased, on sale now on Smashwords!Debased 2 on sale now on Smashwords!Debased 3 on sale now on Smashwords!
The Debased series contains a lot of tits as a mind control focus, and a very bratty Domme who always gets what she wants. I hope you enjoy!
Unfortunately it’s a lot harder to do similar on Amazon–namely? I’d need to be exclusive. I don’t really like that so much, as Amazon gives a lot less direct control. They’re a big storefront, but being only in Kindle Unlimited has some major drawbacks. So unfortunately, if you want in on these sales, you’ll need to go to Smashwords. The series page can be found here!
Yesterday was the trans day of visibility, but to all of my trans readers out there? I see you. I respect you. I mean, I am you! I hope you can find all of the happiness you deserve and that things can get better soon.
Also I’d like to give a few recommendations! The author Skaetlett recently shared with me a peak behind their patreon, and the story was a fun read! Gatekeep Gaslight Girlboss was a real delight, and it’s well worth you giving a look–as well as many other of their stories!
Additionally, Hypnotic Harlequin recently released a story named Lights, Camera, Faction! that you can find on ROM or the EMCSA that I really enjoyed. It’s less direct heat, but still a lot of fun.
That’s me for this week, but look forward to Tuesday when Ink Bot is released, and there’s going to be so much more to come! 🙂
We’re over halfway through March. Can you believe it? That’s just… kinda wild to me. We’re nearly a fourth through the year, and that means we still have 3/4ths more ahead of us!
Don’t forget that the Application of Control series is still on sale through the start of next month!
Application of Control – on sale now!
Save 25% off of these three stories! If you want to see if you’d enjoy the sort of content in those stories? My free story Compromises is available on Read Only Mind and the EMCSA if you want to take a peek!
Don’t forget that in general, I do have a Patreon that supports my “free” releases! I want to keep producing erotica that everyone can enjoy without needing to pay, but the only way I can justify that is if I can use that to pay for food! I feel freely accessible content of all varieties is important and good, so help me do that!
I don’t have a new ink story out this month, but there’s another coming soon on Tuesday! Sealed with a Kiss features Susan LaSilvas. It’s already available for pre-order on Amazon and added to your library on Smashwords.
No, I don’t know why they don’t do real pre-orders. It’s annoying to me, too!
More than just a few of you have probably noticed that Silver Girl has been my only epublishing release for awhile, and I imagine there’s been at least a moment or two of someone wondering why. Now, halfway through March, seemed a good time to address that!
The Adventures of Silver Girl is a long series. That much is obvious without a very long glance. There are so many individual stories, both short and long, so many characters, concepts… it’s a big thing! For awhile I’d been trying to space it out, to give a wider variety in my releases… but as of now I have a good 80 non Silver Girl releases, and there’s no unified way to read all of the Silver Girl series…
That felt like a problem to my editrix, who did me the favor of expressing it.
The original run of the series goes from The Adventures of Silver Girl to Red Moon Rising. There’s some more after that which is certainly important, but that’s where I’ve always considered the original run to start and stop. It’s expanding far beyond that now, but that’s where it all started. Getting out all of Silver Girl takes time, and effort, and I pushed myself as hard as I could to have things flowing as smoothly as I could from here through the end of the original run. I want there to be a smooth, easy way for people to read all of Silver Girl, and to complete the ambition that got me into e-publishing in the first place:
Having the whole series on my shelf!
Unless there’s issues with covers, or edits, or formatting, or something else unforeseen (these people have been great to work with and delays in these projects tend to come down to me!) the series should continue on until it concludes!
And I don’t want to spoil when that will be, or promise with how things that far out can have so many things come up… but I can say that it won’t be this year!
Originally the series was a good 23 stories long, with 145 chapters, and a total word count of 697,595–though some of those included split ellipses and other weird things. All of my writing on MCStories between November 2005 and November 2015 was roughly 1.5 million words.
The rewrites of Silver Girl are shaping up to surpass that length, admittedly with the help of additional new stories such as Dusty Origins, and the aforementioned extended stories.
Silver Girl has been an important part of my life since 2005, and I am so happy to bring her to yet more people in the years ahead.
Thank you for taking the journey with me, and I hope that until next time you all take good care of yourselves, and each other.
Additionally, in light of the rise of hate crimes against the Asian American population, I would like to take a moment to decry these disgusting, vile acts, and say that such is unacceptable. I may just be an erotica author, but all of us need to stand up against bigotry in all of its forms.
I hope March has gone well for all of you so far! It’s helped me beat my little bit of a writing dryspell. Due to an injury, last week was a very fruitless week!
But March is here, and I’m eager to get going again, and it’s gone well for me so far!
Ink will continue to flow come Tuesday, but in the meantime? A new month, a new deal! Romancing Roses is no longer on sale, but guess what is? If you guessed the Application of Control series?
Application of Control – now 25% off until April!
You’re right!
Until April 3rd, Present, Presenting, and Presented will all be available for 25% off on Smashwords! If you’ve wanted to nab a copy but wanted to wait for them to go on sale? This is your chance!
And hey, do you want to read a story using the same methodology of reality control in a cellphone app?
Tuesday will have the release of Ink Blots, and you can pre-order it on Amazon, or mark it to your library on Smashwords! I hope you enjoy when that arrives!
That’s all for now, but that’s just the start of the month! We’ll be getting more as the month goes on!
Until next week, take care of yourselves and each other!
November is nearly over… can you believe it? We’re nearly through 2020! 2021 won’t instantly fix all of our problems, but it still might help make things feel a little bit better. I won’t sneeze at that!
This week’s release is news, but I also have a sale for a week, more books on Smashwords, and more!
The Argentum Project Volume 7: Familiar Places with Familiar Faces
Volume 7 introduces a character who might be my favorite in the whole series. She’s definitely up there for me, anyway. We’ll see if you agree! Check it out, and let me know what you think! A good place to do that? My discord server!
Amusingly, around this time fifteen years ago I only had one story up on the EMCSA. The Adventures of Silver Girl, an incomplete tale of super heroines and mind control. There were a fair few chapters posted, but not enough to make me feel good bout the name Madam Kistulot having only ONE story under it, so… I wrote another story.
And at the time, the name “Black Friday” hadn’t really registered so instead, I named it “The Day After” and now it’s on Smashwords!
The Day After
For a whole week, until December 2nd, you can get 50% off of both The Day After, and the first rerelease of Marianna’s Conquests, The Fourth! Just head to Smashwords and use the code “CJ92Q” at checkout! It’s not too much of a Thanksgiving treat, but it’s something!
Once that coupon expires, I’ll probably be throwing out a new one for Gift of the Sorceress, so feel free to hold off on that one for the moment if you read this and get to see all the cool things before they happen!
Last time I mentioned a Silver Girl AMA, and I intend on doing that after all! December 11th, drop by The Madam Kistulot’s Domain and you’ll get to talk to me, and the cast of Silver Girl about the first story in the series, The Adventures of Silver Girl! I keep odd hours, but I’ll respond to everyone, so even if you work late, or early, or split shift? Don’t worry! I want this to be fun for everyone!
I’ll be writing up a sheet for the events of tAoSG as a refresher for everyone, as I want to keep it *strictly* limited to that story. Later AMAs will cover further if this one goes well, but I want to make this one more inclusive!
That means if you wanna participate? Check out The Adventures of Silver Girl now, on Amazon or Smashwords, and catch up before December 11th! We’ll all be happy to have you!
That’s it for now, I think! I’ve been converting ebooks all day! To see the full listing of new ebook releases on Smashwords, check out the updates portion of my website!
Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other!
