WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ME # 20

Since I’m still deciding what route I should take to get this endeavor self-published I’ve been moving relatively slowing in my re-reading/editing of what is going to be my debut erotic LGBT/BDSM novella, “The Transformation.”  Matt has proposed to Charlene and she’s accepted. Now back at his mountain retreat, she’s donned her Mistress outfit and has already given her new fiancĂ© his first slave treatment in the new dungeon he’s created down in the basement of his home. I’m now debating if I should keep what I’ve already written, increase/decrease Mistress C’s torture of her new slave, or take a totally new bridge to what I’ve already conceived as the book’s last three chapters. As it looks like now, I believe it will take at least two chapters after I finish the chapter I’m currently working on to complete this bridge. Right now I’m on page 110, and I’ve got 20 chapters completed with approximately 28,000 words.

After reviewing the formatting of about 20 books my sweeter side has read/reviewed, it appears I won’t have to worry about the page numbering nor the book’s headers of alternating the book’s title and my name, which eliminates a major burden I had weighing on my mind.

Beginning next month, I’m going to be posting snippets of this endeavor for which I’m hoping to get some feedback on from you guys, my followers.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ME # 19

Ever since CreateSpace has ceased all of its support services for authors. After some long thought-processing, I've decided to forge ahead with one of my manuscripts, an erotic GLBT/BDSM novella entitled “The Transformation.” One of the reasons I’ve chosen this particular manuscript from the two I’m working on is that it’s going to be a KINDLE version only.

Going forwards with the KINDLE version only, I know that the covers [front and back] will have to be part of the file being converted to the KINDLE format. The biggest problem with designing the cover on our own would be to have the title and my name overlaid onto the artwork for the front cover; however, given what my thoughts for the cover design are, no such overlay would be needed.

The only issue I’ve basically got it for the formatting of the text pages, specifically to get the page numbers to start a few pages in. But, I’m going to check a dozen or so KINDLE-only books I’ve got on my computer to see if physical page numbers are actually necessary for a KINDLE book.

Right now, since I haven’t looked at this particular manuscript or my other erotic novella entitled “Becoming the Bride’s Mother.” And if you’re thinking this one will be involving crossdressing and gender swapping you’re correct.

Regarding, “The Transformation”, I’ve already re-read and edited about 65% of the existing manuscript, and still need to write about 15% more to reach my projected total of 32,500 words. As it stands now, I’ve got 115 pages with approximately 27,600 words.

Going forwards I’ll be posting a few unedited snippets from this manuscript with the hopes of getting some feedback.

With the return of my working on this manuscript, the velocity at which my sweeter side has been reading/writing reviews will now be tapered back.

Lastly, I’d love to start interviewing my fellow erotic romance authors here. So, if you’re interested please send me a DM to my Twitter account[@kathryn_heart51] and we can start the process [first come, first served basis]. Be advised I’m only taking the first 10 individuals who respond.

KATHRYN'S EROTIC HAIKU # 12


As you might already know, my first erotic endeavor had been a collection of 250 Erotic Haiku poems entitled “Haiku Becomes Erotic.”
[available as a print, KINDLE, and a KINDLE Unlimited download].

One of the things I’ve posted here a few times had been 3 Erotic Haiku poems in response to the prompt word on the Haiku Horizons website

Since the link I’d posted to my blog had been deleted a few times from the site, I decided to stop attempting to post anything else on the site.  BTW – my blog requires you to acknowledge you understand it’s of an erotic nature before you can enter.

So, picking up where I left off back in August 2017, here’s this blog post entry of 3 erotic Haiku for the word “EGG”  

Waiting to receive his seed
Baby will be born.

Mate killed in the war.
Our last encounter had failed
His frozen seed’s last hope

Two guys left their seed
One is white, the other is black.
Hope child’s one of each

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ME - # 18


Hi “Sweeties"

I know. I know. I know I’ve been M.I.A. [Missing In Action] around here, and as for the reason; besides not having done any writing, I’ve been neglecting myself here and the rest of my social media sites; leaving me to do some heavy catching up.
