Audiobook! Listen to By the Numbers

Hey! Guess what!

The audiobook of my fantasy erotica novel  By the Numbers is available! And it’s fantastic!

😀

So I shared a short piece last month, but to give you an idea about why I’m so excited about it here’s the whole first chapter:

The narrator is Didi Knotts, which is the adult-only stage name for a wonderful, award-winning narrator.

What do you think???

The audiobook to my contemporary fantasy erotica novel is available on Stillpoint/Eros, on Amazon, on iTunes, and Audible.

Update: The Visitor Has Company, A Tragedy

Whelp, today was going to be the day. I was going to finish The Visitor Has Company, the last (for now) of my ménage stories following Lea, her fireman Sean, and her other fireman Andy (and their friends and family and…).

I had just a few scenes to write: a wedding, a party… some sex.

I wrote about four thousand words today, finishing those last couple of scenes and rewriting most of the rest — total about 18,000 words.

I felt really happy with the work. The sex was sexy, the fun was funny, the attempts at nice prose weren’t too bad. I think.

I was just about to type The End, just for the pleasure of it (this is the last of seven novellas, so the whole thing has been a wonderful slog) when my computer crashed.

I usually write in Word, where I’ve turned on autosave, but for whatever reason today was working in OpenOffice. Where I haven’t.

All of today’s work: gone.

:headdesk:

SAVE. SAVE. WHY DIDN’T I HIT SAAAAVE???

Well, there’s only one answer: wine. Lots and lots of wine.

And back into the fray tomorrow.

PS If you’re one of the wonderful folks who wanted to beta the story, I’ll have it done tomorrow, come hell or high water. I have the first two-thirds clean and ready to go — if you want I can send you that, or you can wait for the finished draft. Thanks! (And if you didn’t see my earlier request, I’m still looking for betas!)

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.

Sneak peek: Shower Time (from The Visitor & Other Threesomes)

The Visitor & Other Threesomes, the new collection of my MMF ménage à trois stories,  is being released tomorrow! (Along with Mary Cyn’s Never a Bride.)

And I hope you’ve all signed up for a chance at winning a bunch of hot ebooks, audiobooks and even a signed copy of the book!

Even if you haven’t, however, you can still have some free sexiness, because Stillpoint/Eros have posted Shower Time, a sneak peak at one of the sexy bits — steamy in more ways than one. Taken from The Visitor Goes to Work, it follows Lea and her firemen Sean and Andy as they prove that sometimes getting clean can be really, really dirty.

Check it out:

Shower Time

They’ve also posted a wild threesome romp from Mary Cyn’s ménage masterpiece:

Never a Bride preview

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?

Still More Steamy Sighs – Juliet Takes First released as an audiobook!

News, eroto-audiophiles! Stillpoint/Eros has released the audiobook of my collection Juliet Takes First! The stories are all wonderfully narrated by the multi-talented Mary Cyn. Check it out!

---

Stillpoint/Eros is pleased to release its newest audiobook, Juliet Takes First, drawn from four steamy stories by K.D. West, all recorded by the multi-talented Mary Cyn. Now available in a single volume, the first four stories in K.D. West’s Juliet Takes Flight series.

Sexual initiation (from “Juliet Takes Off” – read by Mary Cyn)

Searing tales of forbidden erotic romance: collected for the first time, the first four stories in K.D. West’s Juliet Takes Flight series! When you fall in love with your teacher, that’s taking a chance. When your teacher falls in love with you, that’s taking it to a whole new level. Allison finds her Romeo, but Ken is much older – and he’s her teacher. In this collection of tales by K.D. West, this young Juliet finds that love can cross all boundaries, and can lead you in directions you never expected. Sexy, surprising, and moving, this collection includes:

• Juliet Takes Stage: Allison has wanted Ken ever since he became her teacher. and how could Ken not want this passionate young Juliet? Now Ken’s alone and Allison has graduated. He still wants her. She wants to give him… everything.
• Juliet Takes Off: What if Romeo were more than twice Juliet’s age — and her teacher? Would that have made a difference? Allison tries to find another leading man, but ends up being drawn back to the first person who ever inspired her to real, undeniable desire. How can this Juliet convince her much-older Romeo to take her seriously? How can she convince him that she is a woman, and no longer a girl?
• Juliet Takes Her Leave: After dreaming of going to college for years, Allison finds once she gets there that she misses the people she left behind: her best friend Jordan and especially Ken, her lover, her one-time teacher. Fortunately for her, they miss her just as much.
• Juliet Takes a Chance: As Allison’s awakening continues, she discovers that sometimes what seems far away can be incredibly close. When her friend Jordan comes to visit her in college, she finds that BFF and ILU mean a lot more in person than over a text.
• BONUS – Juliet Takes the Floor, pt. I: A sneak peek at the next installment of Allison’s story. In the aftermath of Jordan’s visit, Allison finds herself rethinking everything that she thought that she knew about herself — and her lovers.

The audiobook is available exclusively through Audible, iTunes, or your local Amazon Store!
