Sneak peek! Null (By the Numbers prologue — erotic contemporary fantasy)

Happy holidays!

Wow. I apologize for disappearing this fall — I promise it wasn’t on purpose. I got caught up in a huge writing project that turned out to be two of them — about two-hundred thousand words, of which my Friendly Menage fantasy  By the Numbers was the last chunk.

Turns out that this and the other 150K+ didn’t play together well. I still want to publish that other piece — I haven’t decided whether it’s a YA fantasy adventure/romance or a NA erotic fantasy, and either way it needs MORE written. 

So I decided to release By the Numbers as a stand-alone piece of erotic contemporary fantasy. 

At that point I knew I needed a prologue. I posted one over a year ago… but that piece no longer fit. So I wrote this short intro to the world of By the Numbers.

I’d love to know what you think! I’ll post some more chapters here over the next couple of weeks.

Prologue — Null

Poll: Should my next story be MMF or FFM?

I’m wrapping up the writing on The Visitor Has Company, the last tale of Lea, Sean, and Andy’s adventures — for now at least. (Contact me if you’d like to get an early beta copy.)

I’ve got a number of irons in the fire, writing-wise (including a novel that’s metastasized — it’s either a three-novel series or a smaller three-part series and a stand-alone. Over 220,000 words. Eesh!). In any case there are a couple of menage stories I’ve had sitting on my hard drive waiting to be finished — one’s a MMF story (two men and a woman) and one’s an FFM story (two women and a man).

So I thought I’d ask your help:

Help me, folks! You’re my only hope. 😉

Sneak peek #2: On the Table — In Bed

So, I finished On the Table, the fourth in my Over the Top stories about Suzie, Danny and their somewhat twisted path to True Love! I’ve got it off to my editor, but I’d love some feedback from you guys. If any of you would like to get an advanced read of the story and send me any feedback you may have, I’d love that! Just leave a comment below or email me at kdwestwrites@gmail.com and I’ll happily send you an early copy.

This is also one of my Friendly Ménage tales — just the second featuring two women and a man — and I’d love to get some feedback about that as well!

(What do you think of the cover? And the new Friendly Ménage logo!)

And to give you another teaser, here’s the next section of the story (you can read the first preview, After-Party, here):

New Release: The Visitor Takes a Trip (No Joke!)

It may be April Fool’s, but I am very happy to say in all seriousness that Stillpoint/Eros has (finally) released the next installment in my Visitor series, The Visitor Takes a Trip! (The delay was all mine — my non-writing life combined with a rare touch of writer’s block to push the story back. My apologies.)

You can order from Stillpoint/Eros or from Amazon (available through KindleUnlimited).

I think you’ll love the story, which follows Lea and her firefighter boyfriends Sean and Andy through the wedding circuit: Andy’s childhood best friend Prior is marrying Andy’s first girlfriend Cherry, and they want Andy to be the best man. Which would all be fine, except that Andy may have suggested that he too is engaged — to Lea. Prior told Cherry, who told Andy’s sister Jessie, who told her and Andy’s parents…

It’s a mess.

How will our threesome survive? What will they discover about each other and about the rural town where Andy grew up? And what is Lea doing with those handcuffs and that gag???

I’ve posted two sneak previews: On the Rocks and In the Pines. Check them out!

And Stillpoint/Eros has asked me to extend this special offer to you folks: if you review any one of my books (on your blog, on Goodreads, on Amazon, etc.) and send them a screenshot or a URL to eros@stillpointdigital.com, they’ll send you a coupon good for any Stillpoint/Eros book, plus a download code good for free audiobook from Audible! Doesn’t have to be a five-star review — we expect and respect your honest opinion. Just contact them and share your feedback, and we’ll feed your habit. 😉

Juliet Takes Charge is coming — and WHOO boy is it ever! ;-)

FROM STILLPOINT/EROS

Juliet Takes Charge: A Student Teacher MFF Ménage by K. D. West is now available for pre-order exclusively on Amazon in advance of its release this Wednesday.  The next (and next-to-last) installment in West’s Juliet Takes Flight series explores what happens when Allison (whom her lover and former teacher Ken calls Juliet) gets exactly what she asked for — and more than she bargained for.

About Juliet Takes Charge:

This Juliet asks for a birthday present neither she nor her lovers will ever forget

Getting what you want can be scary — and sublime.

For her birthday, Allison asked her lovers Ken and Jordan to join her for a threesome. She wants to give them both something special.

But is she ready for what she’s asked for? And will her former teacher and her BFF play along?

After reminding herself just how good her boyfriend and girlfriend each makes her feel, Allison approaches her much-anticipated birthday (and birthday present) more than a little excited, and more than a little terrified.

What happens will shock and surprise all three of them. Jordan, who’s always got all of the answers, and Ken, her teacher in so many ways, are looking to Allison.

It’s time for Juliet to take charge.

(11,000 words. MF, FF,  FFM, threesome sex, ménage à trois. Explicit language and scenes of sexuality between — and among — consenting adults)

Sixth title in the Juliet Takes Flight series:

1. Juliet Takes Stage
2. Juliet Takes Off
3. Juliet Takes Her Leave
4. Juliet Takes a Chance
5. Juliet Takes the Floor
6. Juliet Takes Charge
7. Juliet Takes Flight

(#1–#4 are available as part of the collections Juliet Takes First and Wild West: Collected Erotic Stories)

About K.D. West:

K.D. West is an Amazon best-selling author of contemporary short fiction, a teacher, and a performer living in a small suburb of a big city in the American West:

“Not a huge amount to say — I’m an author of steamy stories who happens to be a teacher; these things don’t mix well in public, so I tend to be fairly quiet about real life in my blogging. I am, however, interested in all sorts of things — books, writing, theater, mythology, and, obviously, erotica! I’m a huge reader of genre fiction — mostly mysteries and fantasy, but also science fiction and historical romance.”

West is working on two intertwined series involving a young woman and her older lover (the Juliet Takes Flight and Erotic Tales: Letters to Allison stories), a series of stories about friends discovering that they can become much more (Friendly Ménage Tales), and a series of stories that the Brothers Grimm might have collected, if there had been traditional tales where the heroine got the princess (Sapphic Fairytales). Also on the way: By the Numbers, an erotic paranormal/urban fantasy novel involving a long-lost friend coming all but literally back from the dead, and showing a happily married couple just what they’d been missing.

So… threesomes?

Ah, the threesome! The threeway, the triad, the menage a trois, the spit roast, the Napoleon’s Hat! A favorite topic of mine, obviously — and not just mine!

Stillpoint/Eros just launched an Ask the Author page, which I christened by asking a question of the readers:

I write about threesomes (two guys and a girl, two girls and a guy — heck, probably three of each eventually) because I find them fascinating. You guys seem to as well! I have my own thoughts and — ahem — experiences to draw on, but I would really love to hear some of yours.

Have you ever participated in a three-way? Was it planned or an accident? Was it driven by one member of the ménage? Two? All three? What surprised you? What didn’t? And most importantly: How did it compare to the fantasy?

Inquiring minds do want to know!

Make my publisher happy by answering at the website, or you can answer here. I really would love to hear what you guys have to say!

In other (not unrelated) news, Stillpoint/Eros just announced a dual release party for my collection of threesome stories, The Visitor & Other Threesomes, and the wonderful Mary Cyn’s exploration of the pleasures and pains of third-wheel-dom, Never a Bride! Both books will be released on July 31, just in time for you to get the last of your summer reading in.

As the invite says, we need a third — are you going to be it? 😉

There’ll be giveaways — including a signed copy of the print edition of my book. So come on! What are you waiting for?

Poll: Help choose a cover for my new collection!
