As per my last blog, the adult novels on Bookapy were moved to a new site called Bookapyx. That caused a lot of confusion so Bookapyx is now ZBookStore.
So all my novels are on ZBookStore.
The Bookapy link on SOL has been replaced with ZBookStore and takes you to the correct place.
The Bookapy ads at the end of stories are not so simple. If the novel is adult, clicking on the novel will take you to ZBookStore. But if the novel is not adult, it will take you to the original Bookapy. That is the case for one of my novels ("Last Kiss"). I will ask Lazeez if this is intentional since "Last Kiss" is also on ZBookStore.
I am going to have to change the wording on the ads to replace "Bookapy" with "ZBookStore" when appropriate. I'll also have to change references to Bookapy to ZBookStore in other places as well. I just updated my SOL profile with the new name. Author's Notes will probably be next.
I just found out that a change has been made to Bookapy. There are now two of them. The old URL for Bookapy now only has no-sex novels on it. Only my "Last Kiss" novel is on that Bookapy.
There's a new Bookapy that has an x at the end (i.e., bookapyx).
This Bookapy contains all novels, no-sex and adult. So all 9 of my novels are on Bookapyx (with the x) whereas only one of them is on the old Bookapy.
The SOL link to Bookapy goes to the x version while the link on Lazeez's no-sex story site goes to the old one.
It's confusing. I haven't changed any of my references to where my novels can be found yet. It might be why my Amazon sales have suddenly gone up. Although the Bookapy ad for a novel at the end of a story on SOL goes to the x version if it's an adult novel and the old Bookapy if it's a no-sex novel.
When the recent scare hit SOL about stories with underage sex, I looked at my stories. Quite a few were impacted, but most wouldn't make sense to up the age to 18. But I thought the explicit age of the 16-year-old girl in "Conflicted Nun" could be removed and the story would still work. So I set out to do just that.
As I read the story, I was disappointed in it. I didn't think it was written to my current standards so I changed a lot more than the age. Well, while I was modifying it, Lazeez announced that he was moving to a new host and the underage problem went away. But I was well into revising the story so I continued.
The changes are done and the new version of the novel is on Bookapy and SOL. If you had purchased the old version on Bookapy and you want what I consider a better version, although there's no explicit mention of the girl being 16, you are allowed to redownload what you had purchased. I also changed the book cover. Or if you simply want to read or re-read it for free on SOL, the new version is there. Note, I changed the Fa/ft to Fa/Fa even though in my mind the girl is 16.
Anyway, I hope you like the new version of "Conflicted Nun."
My story "Your Cheating Heart" has only been available to Premier members because it was the second place winner in this past Valentine's Day contest. But it has now been released to the General area for all to read.
You may wonder how a story could have both the "cheating" and "romantic" codes. *winks* Read the story and find out. "Your Cheating Heart" can be found at: https://storiesonline.net/s/32319/your-cheating-heart
For those who follow me, I have a new short story that you may have missed because it never showed up on New Stories because it was a Halloween contest entry. It is now in the free area. It's called "The Mirror's Secret" and can be found at https://storiesonline.net/n/38889/the-mirror-s-secret
