Synful Interludes

"The Sultan's Tale" a short story by Manuela Cardiga free offering on Smashwords Genre classification: Erotica, Historical Fiction Hello Awesome Visitors! A while back, I spoke on embarking on a Smashwords experiment, with the purpose of answering a question posed by a fellow author. If you need a refresher of the post, click here . This is book three of the experiment. Upon reading this book, it made me feel as if I were in the middle of the action, so I thought that perhaps this was part of a saga.

It marks the difference between a revisit ...

I am just speaking on my own experiences or those by others. Let's get to it. One of the things my publisher has told me is the importance of networking.  I decided to join a few Facebook groups.  I'm taking things one step at a time and very content with the few I've been exposed to so far.  I'm not certain how I feel about automatically getting added to stuff but that's a whole different topic for another "Let's Talk". One of the people in the group shared the reviews she received from Blue Ink Review and Kirkus .  From what I gather, there is a great deal of recognition in association with those two names.  That's not what made me rub my chin.  What made me do so is the fact that: (1)  She paid for the reviews. (2)  The reviews were relatively shor...
