"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.

I do enjoy the camaraderie of the characters as well as how helpful Daiyuu'...

Catching up on shows I miss during the week 👀 Trying to decide on my next nail color Which wine I'm in the mood to drink🍷 To glam, or not to glam 💄 What brought me out of my routine was a question given to me by one of my writer friends:  How has transcendence in your writing career helped or hindered you? thinking thinking thinking Even after the person and I continued with other topics, the question still lingered. This brought forth another question: Am I actually transcendent in the genre I'm most known for, which is erotica? In order to do that, I must get back out there to read the erotica trends which are trending. Since some places are strict about showcasing any erotic works, I sought out a site that I knew would have the material. I settled on Smashwords because they have some selections that won't hurt the pocketbook. Here are the guidelines I...
