Is 35,000 words enough to rev you up?

     So, thank sweet baby Jesus(or grown up bearded Jesus-however you see him!). I finished the first novella in a new series I'm starting.  I'm sooo new to novellas and have been going kinda crazy trying to find the right word count.  I've told 2,000(which I'd call a short story) up to 60,000(which I'd call a novel)-yep majorly confused.

     As you can tell-even on my blogs and post I tend to write long winded.  So, the whole novella idea is extremely difficult for me.  To me I feel as if its hard to get an actual story n characters that can thrive throughout the book.  Plus HELLO, erotic author here!  Can my small book have enough story not to come across as "wham bam thankya ma'am"-hey that sounds like a good novella title!

     Answer.....I sure as hell hope the novella can pack enough story and of course enough super smexy time!!  The proof has been ordered so now I'll be sadly checking the mail over and over until it shows.  

     My first book ~Quick on the Trigger~ had a more "artistic" cover but after asking the question "do I need half naked people on my covers to sell more?" In numerous erotic author forums, Facebook pages and some others-I was given an ALMOST unanimous YES, yep put flesh on your books.  I decided not to change my cover for ~Quick on the Trigger~ BUT have decided I will try the route of chests, abs, shoulders, backs & hunky hineys!  We've designed numerous covers for the novella series which I'm calling the -Crooked E Ranch- series.

     We're using this first novella as a test of the emergency broadcast system--wait never mid that...a test to see if flesh covers really make a dramatic difference or not.  I've looked up a ton of savory (& some not so savory) books and I've noticed some that have a horrible blurb, very short content and covers that look beyond cheap BUT have damn near naked people that are damn near engaged in illegal sexual acts(at least in the Midwest) and yet they have 40 reviews-I'm not saying all are bad because there are lots that are good to but what I'm saying is they are racking in reviewers-WHICH I WANT! So we'll have to see.

     Personally for me I want a paperback with a cover I don't have to explain or embarrass the farm wives who surround me.  Now, on the other hand I don't give a sh*t what the covers look like on my ipad.  And I'm not a flesh cover lover, I prefer artistic ones. But I'm not gonna complain about hot cowboys either.

    In other words peeps?  ~Sweet as Candy~ first in the -Crooked E Ranch- series will be making its debut and soon! And for the love of all YOU find holy PLEASE review it!!!
