Switch Blayde: Blog

Chapter 5 for this story is posted on SOL.

By the way, my intention writing this wasn't to be blasphemous. Its a self-awareness, both physically and emotionally.

As I said in a previous blog, I wrote "Conflicted Nun" to post on SOL but decided to use it to try out Bookapy. Now that that's done, I'm posting it on SOL.

So far 4 (of 14) chapters have been posted. I announced that on my email group but forgot to inform people here (on my SOL blog). Oops. My email group is my primary means for communicating with readers so I sometimes forget about my SOL blog.

My novel "The Breeder" is now available on Bookapy at: https://bookapy.com/s/185/the-breeder

Unlike my other novels on Amazon, "The Breeder" was never enrolled in their Kindle Unlimited program which requires exclusivity so I was able to offer it on Bookapy. The exclusivity is for a 90-day period with automatic renewal. I just removed the automatic renewal, but each novel's 90-day period will need to end before I publish it on Bookapy. They have varying dates.

I finished a new story called "Conflicted Nun" and thought I'd try SOL's Bookapy to publish it. It can be found at: https://bookapy.com/s/183/conflicted-nun

It's listed as "extreme contents" which sounds more extreme than it is. According to Bookapy, if it has underage sex, incest, and/or bestiality it's "extreme contents." Since one of the characters who has sex is 16 years old, well, Bookapy says it's extreme.

If this had been posted on SOL, the story codes would be: Fa/ft, Romantic, Lesbian, First, Masturbation, Clergy, Teacher/Student. And the sex content would be: Some sex.

There are parts that I consider humorous, but I wouldn't include the Humor code because not everyone has my sense of humor. And I didn't set out to write a blasphemous story although some might consider it that. I wrote a romance/coming-of-age story, although the coming-of-age character isn't a young adult. Just an innocent one.

Almost a year ago, I began a short story to post on SOL. Things don't turn out as planned. I really got into the story and added characters and sub-plots, resulting in a 102,000 word novel. I post my short stories on SOL as Switch Blayde and my novels on Amazon as S.W. Blayde. Obviously, this novel falls into the latter.

But now that it's published, I plan to write a story for SOL. I'm playing with a few ideas and will probably choose one that wouldn't be suitable for publishing on Amazon. That will discourage me from expanding it to a full-length novel.

So I've been absent from SOL for quite a while. But as Arnold Schwarzenegger said in The Terminator, "I'm back."
