Hehe. It's great! It's like... Well, I write about my own fantasies, most of the time, and since she gets to read it all, it's become a very... intimate thing between us. I'm not sure how many partners are very open about their sexual fantasies, but for us, it created this... baseline? Like a thing that we can go to together, without really having to talk about it much, because we both know what we're referencing.

Also, of course, she gets hot reading them, and I get hot writing them. So there's that.

Ah, okay. I don't participate in that any more. I've done it initially, for about 3 months when I started publishing, but then phased my books out one by one. Personally, I think the payout is much too low, but on top of it, you'll enter an exclusivity contract with Amazon that would prevent me from publishing my books anywhere else.

Now, it's a personal preference, but I don't want to solely rely on Amazon for my income, so I like to spread out my books, but I also do better financially, because this way I get more income from other vendors than I did from Kindle Unlimited, when I was still enrolled in the past.

Hm. Complicated question, because I don't know your genre. Basically speaking, I'd start with doing some research into the market you're writing for: What are the covers like there? How long are books, typically? What are they priced at? Is there a typical story structure? What do the blurbs sound like? What would be a good title?

Then try to imitate that, create some similar covers (or have them made for you), make sure your books are proofread and edited, and when you're happy with the result, create a KDP account with Amazon and start publishing them. (The technical process is really quite simple, all it takes is the text and a cover.)

Slowly, Selena reached around and began to unzip her suit, right in front of his eyes, her silky, pale skin a sharp contrast to the shiny black leather, becoming more visible with every inch she pulled, like milk, spilling out of a gap in the darkness. The Joker couldn't keep his eyes off her, and for one second, he let his guard down, mesmerized by the movements, the shape, the seductive sway of the woman. One second, and that was all it took.

Quietly and effortlessly, she jumped, spun and toppled him, all in one fluid motion, kicking him to the ground and landing on his chest, pinning him to the floor, where her breasts hovered conveniently above his face. If this was the end, he thought, then at least it's a very appealing one.

Purring, Selena began to lick along his cheek, covering the way from his earlobe to the scar at the side of his mouth, and up to his eye. "Now let's see what happens to you if I do this," she whispered, giggling quietly as her sharp fingernails buried themselves into the soft flesh of his neck.

How do friends/family react when you tell them?

They don't, because I don't. I don't really want to talk about it with people I know, because... well, imagine if anyone could learn about your deepest, darkest, most depraved fantasies and desires, at the price of three bux and a mouseclick. I can count on one hand what would happen next, or what would happen after that. I don't want things to be awkward - or more awkward - with my loved ones, so... I'll keep that to myself, for now.

It's a little tough, because then I also have nobody to brag about my SHINY NEW BOOK, for example, but that's the price I pay. In essence, there are very few people who both know me IRL and know what I'm writing about. Most of them are just people I work with professionally (like my tax accountant, or illustrators, or something like that). So really, the only one I get to share everything with is my girlfriend.
