The Misty Vixen Newsletter (August 2018)

It's August now and time for another newsletter! (I like writing these.)

So, let's talk about July. Some things happened, most of them good!

WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY

First, I published three novels!

Second, I posted some free short stories to my website!

Those are the obvious things, but I've been doing a few other things in the background. The biggest thing I'm doing is republishing all of my older episodic titles. I took them down in May out of desperation when Amazon was trying to kill my career (they succeeded in at least maiming it. Seriously, fuck Amazon.) Now, I wanted to just put them all back up at once, but the problem is that although I made Amazon take all of my titles out of the Kindle Unlimited, they haven't technically fully done that. Most of my titles now sit in a kind of twilight zone where although you cannot get the titles through the Kindle Unlimited any longer, titles that had already been borrowed would remain in the Kindle Unlimited user's libraries until they naturally fell out of the KU.

This wouldn't be too much of a problem, (except for my apprehension that whatever originally tripped up their bot or AI or algorithm or whatever the holy FUCK has broken and is falsely flagging accounts might trip it again if my stuff is still in the KU...) but the main problem is that any titles that were unpublished, (i.e. most of them), if I try to republish them before they have fallen out of the KU, they will then be available in the KU again!

Obviously I don't want this to happen.

So I've been holding off, watching the list of titles still in the KU gradually dwindle across May, June, and July. The good news is that almost all of them are out now! The last one will fall out in mid August.

The good news is that the first title in several different series/trilogies became available to re-publish in July, and I did so. I then went ahead and tried to make every one of them free! I almost succeeded! All that's left is Amazonian's Love #1. Amazon has been kind of finicky lately, so I don't really know when or even if they're going to get around to making good on their promise of making that free.

Okay, I'm going to ramble for a little bit about this.

I debated for a little while whether or not to go ahead and put all the episodes back up, because on the one hand, I'm going to be eventually republishing superior, cheaper versions of them. So should I even bother? But then the somewhat more business-oriented part of my brain, (the one that probably actually keeps me alive, fed, and in an actual house because bills are a thing), pointed out that it's money and exposure left on the table. I've already gone through the process of writing, editing, formatting, and creating cover art for dozens upon dozens of titles, so why not put them back up there? Because my Complete Seasons are still up as well, and people are buying them, and apparently no one seems to mind.

So what you are seeing is basically the compromise between those two schools of thought. I'm going ahead and republishing everything, although they WILL be taken down in advance of republication of them in new novel form, some of which are still months off. However, I will be dropping the price of each of the individual episodes to 99 cents, and I won't be republishing the triple-pack collections, since they've now pretty much been rendered redundant by the Complete Seasons, and because they were really just for the fans who didn't want to wait even a minute longer for extra content, or for the fans who really wanted to go the extra mile to support me.

Now that all that is out of the way...

Not all of them are republished yet. As I said before, not all of them are out of the KU yet, but also I want to wait to really make the big push and republish/update until all of the six starting episodes are made free, and until Wanderlust - The Complete Series, is published.

Now the reason for THAT is because I'm a bit of a neurotic author. I work very hard to keep the back matter of my titles updated. I don't want there to be dead links in the backs of my books. For example, I have published a new version of Royal Lust since the last time most of those episodes were updated. If, in theory, someone grabbed one or multiple of those episodes as a reader discovering me for the first time, read it, then began checking out the back matter to see what else I have to offer, then sees Royal Lust and thinks it sounds cool, then clicks on it...they'd get taken to a dead page because I have since unpublished the old version and published a brand new version!

Not good for me.

Now, I know that the chances of this happening are probably pretty slim. Out of the people who do actually buy and then read my titles, how many of them check out the back matter? How many of those people in turn follow links? Probably not a high percentage. I have no analytics on that at all, but I'd guess less than 10%. However, I do feel confident that at least SOME people do, and I want those people to be able to have an easy time if they want to buy another one of my books, even if they're reading my oldest available title. This is why I work hard to try and keep the links fresh for ALL of my available stories. And this is another thing that had me hesitate, because this takes TIME!

Updating the back matter for a couple of dozen titles? It doesn't take that long. Updating them for a couple hundred?! Yes, that is quite the project.

So anyway, if you're interested, here's a link to the first episodes in my as-yet-republished series/trilogies.

Hopefully, at some point in the near future, Amazonian's Love Part 1 will be available for free as well!

I would really like to emphasize that if you're financially prudent, then it would make the most sense to wait until I re-release these titles as novels. However, if you don't want to wait and/or would like to give me more support, then all episodes will be available soon. Checking over my list, it's looking like I should be able to have everything up that will be going up by August 10th, 11th, or 12th. (I leave some wiggle room because although there is a set date at which the last title falls out, some factors can vary in the re-publishing process, either on Amazon's end if they decide to randomly throw another wrench at me, or on my end if something happens...or if I get distracted and lazy...)

Okay, now that all THAT shit is out of the way, let's talk about a few other things. I updated the Misty Vixen Patreon Library with several new titles in July! Here's a quick list.

For those of you who might have missed out on the announcement or might be new, if you sign up for my Patreon for 10$/month, you get instant access to most of my titles. Eventually, it will be all. As I mentioned above, I'm waiting for a last few to fall out of the Kindle Unlimited. Some titles will be posted up to two weeks early, and some will be posted about a day or so early, as I try to get stuff published as soon as it's done! (I'm so bad at release dates because of this.) Also, for 5$/month, you get early access to hot alternate nude versions of all my cover art! And for 1$/month, you get early access to the first chapters of my upcoming works.

For a complete guide to my Patreon Library, please follow this link.

I think that's everything for July. So what's happening in August?

THINGS I'M GOING TO DO IN AUGUST

All right! Let's talk about my goals.

First of all, I am for sure publishing three more titles. WANDERLUST IV on August 1st, WANDERLUST - THE COMPLETE SERIES on August 3rd, and AMAZONIAN'S LOVE on August 15th. I am also very confident that this is the month I will be publishing DEMONESS III. I'm sorry it has taken SO long! The good news is that it will definitely be longer than Demoness II, making it the longest single story I have ever published, and it feels like some of the best stuff I've ever written! I'm seriously really excited about Demoness III, I really hope everyone loves it.

Now, I do doubt that I'll be publishing anything else big this month. But that's three whole novels and a collection! However, I won't be lazing about, either. (Or, I'll try not to.) Very soon I'm going to begin planning and then writing PARASEXUAL 2. I've already got a very firm idea of what I want to do, how I want it to start and end, and some of the stuff in the middle. It should get published in September. Also, as soon as Demoness III is finished, I am immediately going to begin work on WOMEN OF THE WILD II: THE SNAKE WOMAN. I've got a rough idea for that one and it will become my main focus. That's probably going to come out in October.

Those are the big things I'm working on.

I also plan on releasing several new pieces of free content.

To begin with, it won't be long before I release DEMONESS - FUN IN THE FOREST. It's a brand new short story that takes place in between Demoness II & III, about a week after the end of Demoness II. John and Yelena go on a short adventure with a sexy and very curious felis woman. As of right now, it's about 3/4 of the way written.  It'll be posted for free as a blog post on my site as soon as it's written and edited. I'm also going to be posting a number of free shorts that I've gathered over the past few years that take place either in the Sci-Fi or Fantasy universe. I'm looking at about two a week until I run out. Finally, I mentioned earlier that I'm going to take the plunge and try writing a free incest erotica story. It's going to take place in my Sci-Fi Erotica Universe, though it will have no connection to any of the established characters or storylines so far. It'll just be its own thing. That will be posted on this website as well and have its own page. I'm still in the planning stages of that, but I won't wait until it's finished to post it. I'll be putting it up chapter by chapter. I hope you like it!

Information on all this free stuff can be found right here.

Next up is the Patreon Library. I plan on bringing some new titles to it this month. Here's a quick list.

  • AMAZONIAN'S LOVE
  • ADVENTUROUS
  • HELLCATS
  • HELLCATS 2
  • DEMONESS III

Next up is just a minor detail. I'm currently putting together some brand new cover art for my main free titles: Large & Lovely, Snakeskin, Blind Date, Pink, & The Pale Redhead. So far I've got two of them done. Hopefully it won't be too long before I get them all. I'm aiming at having those done this month.

Finally, I'm going wide! Also known as posting my books every else. So if you know someone who has a Nook, or someone who only buys things on Smashwords, or has whatever Kobo has as an eReader, then they will be able to read my works! I can't promise it will look as good as it does on Amazon, because I don't really have any control over the formatting, but it will at least be readable.

This is a kind of frustrating process. Some of my titles, like Exploration and My Undead Lover, and my freebies, are already available. But I'm running into difficulties with other, longer titles. I'm sure I can get it worked out before too long. If this does interest you, make sure to check the relevant pages on this site, as I've gone through and updated just about everything to include a full list of links.

Although I only link to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Kobo, and iTunes, I am apparently available in a lot of other places. I actually released a blog post detailing all of the places that I am available. Check it out here. Soon, I plan having all of my books available everywhere.

I think that's everything. I still feel like I'm in a transitional period and things just aren't running smoothly. On the personal front, I lost one of my keys off my laptop, which made writing a lot harder. Finally got that fixed today! I also mentioned previously that I was having kind of vague health concerns. Well...I'm still having them. At least some of it can be chalked up to anxiety, and my anxiety levels are actually returning to normal recently! But I'm still concerned that something is wrong, so that...makes me anxious. Still got a wait and see policy with all this. But it shouldn't really hinder my ability to write for the most part, and keeping busy is good.

I'm hoping that within a month or two I'll have all the extraneous stuff out of the way, and I can turn back into a writing machine like I have been at various points of my career. That will be really nice.

Thank you for reading and enjoying my stories!

The Misty Vixen Newsletter (July 2018)

Hello, everyone!

In case you couldn't tell or didn't know, I finally have a new logo/avatar/whatever you want to call it. She is hot and now represents me in the digital world. If you're a patron, you can find a totally nude version of her right here. (She has really big boobs.) But if you don't want to or don't have the money to spare, you'll be able to see her naked on this site starting July 20th.

Here is the Naked Ladies page!

So, things that happened in June.

Well, first off I published Royal Lust. If you missed it, you can get it here as eBook for 2.99$, and here as a paperback for 9.99$.

I also published Wanderlust, which is the first book in a four part series. You can get it here as an eBook for 2.99$, and here as a paperback for 9.99$.

I added a brand new page to my website that is specifically designed to answer the questions that I get asked the most often: Is there going to be a sequel? So, if you've ever been curious as to whether or not I intend to do a follow-up or continuation of your favorite story or series, check this page out. I'd like to say that while I am more certain about some things than others, I don't think anything is truly set in stone, so things might change.

The biggest thing I did was finally launch The Misty Vixen Library! Here is a blog post giving full details on it. But basically it's my own version of the Kindle Unlimited. If you sign up for my Patreon for 10$/month, you get access to (eventually) my whole library of works! Basically, you can choose to either just read the plain text right there on Patreon, or you can download a PDF or a Kindle version. I will be creating a new page on this site giving more details and direct links to the works there. I plan on adding to it every month for the rest of the year at the very least, and to try to get copies of my newest novels up there earlier than they actually publish elsewhere, so you get early access!

Finally, I had intended to release Parasexual before July, but it just didn't work out that way. I realized as June was drawing to a close that if I tried to get it out on time, I'd just end up rushing the ending. But the good news is that it's almost done! I just have to wrap up the last chapter and it'll be out. I'll let everyone know as soon as it's done, and I am shooting for a release of next week.

In a mini-update I released midway through June, I mentioned that I was having some vague health concerns. I don't really have any definitive answers, but I am feeling better and it's probably nothing, but I'll release an update if things get worse or if I have any tangible evidence of something wrong.

Now, let's talk about July.

I have a lot to do.

First of all, Wanderlust II & III are coming out this month, on the 2nd and 15th respectively. I had fully intended to release Wanderlust II by now, but I, uh...basically, I had a party yesterday and was up until 7AM, so I've been recovering today. I live a somewhat reclusive lifestyle, so I don't get to have parties often, so I tried to enjoy myself. Wanderlust II should be up by tomorrow.

As mentioned above, Parasexual will be up sometime next week.

My primary focus this month will be Demoness III. I can't promise to get it done by the end of July, but I will say that it is my goal. I will be working hard on getting it written and out.

On the Misty Vixen Library front, Wanderlust III & IV will be coming out, as well as The Complete Collection. The Misty Vixen Starter Pack is also coming out this month. It was supposed to come out last month, sorry about that. Finally, Demoness I & II will be coming to the Library as well. That's the line-up for July. Also, if I do actually get Demoness III written and out, then it'll go up too.

Now, let's talk about free stories! Several free short stories that I've written across the length of my career are going to become available through my website. Basically, I'll be posting them as blog posts here and there. Technically speaking, none of these are newly written. I'll post a little bit of history before each story to give you some context, since all of them are tied to pre-existing stories. They're basically extra scenes and bonus content related to Hellcats, Wanderlust, My Undead Lover, Exploration, and Royal Lust.

Another idea for free content I've been having is sort of in-between stories. I'm going to do an experiment and write a bonus, and totally free, short story that takes place in between Demoness II & III, since there's about a month gap between those two novels. It'll be a fun little adventure featuring a brand new character and, of course, John and Yelena. And sex. If it goes over well, I'll probably make a habit of this and write more in-between free shorts for other stories.

One big thing I need to get to is going wide. In other words, publishing my content on all other available platforms since I'm no longer enrolled in the fucking Kindle Unlimited. As such, I'll probably have to redesign my website again to provide links to everything. Oh boy, what fun that's going to be. So I'll be making announcements here and there about that when I find the time (and the willpower) to actually get that off the ground.

Another minor thing I'll be doing is updating all of my paperbacks so that the logo on the back cover is replaced by my new, custom designed logo, in case you care about that. (Most people seem not to care about my paperback options.)

I also want to say on the fan fiction front, uh...basically that's put away again. Sorry for getting your hopes up. I'm simply too busy now.

As a small aside, I recently had a poll on my Twitter. The question was: is incest hot? It didn't get too many votes, and there was one more vote for no than there was for yes. Which means that at least some people find it hot. I have to admit that incest, and none of the pseudo-incest bullshit, but real incest, is something I've kind of been interested in writing about. I'm currently tossing around an idea. If I do write it, since there's no way I'm going to publish it to Amazon, since they technically do not allow it, I'm going to just post it to my website as a free bonus story. So...if you're into incest, let me know! I'm pretty interested to see how this little experiment plays out.

And now the final thing. Basically this is just a general reaffirmation of my plans for the near future. I like to keep people updated, and it also helps me to kind of keep it all straight in my own head. (Planning is not actually one of my strong suits.)

As it stands, I have three tiers of writing. I believe I've mentioned this before. This is what they look like, and what I'm planning on doing.

Tier One: The big stuff. For the future, this tier will be taken up by Demoness and Women of the Wild. I'll be switching back and forth between those two probably until I get burned out on one of them and slot in something else. That will probably be Wild Discovery or Haven.

Tier Two: This tier is going to be populated by simpler projects. For now, that means Parasexual. That series is going to be probably around four novels. Other titles in this tier will include the Alien Harem rewrite and anything related to the re-releases. I need to expand the original Desire novella, I need to write a fourth Sex & Survival novel. I might write Desire 5, still figuring that one out. Also the occasional stand-alone novel.

Tier Three: This is for the simplest stuff. The incest story I mentioned. The Demoness short. Other free short stories. Stuff like that.

Tier One is me working on new material, while Tier Two is kind of like me trying to catch up and take stuff off the back burner. I don't think I'll have less than three Tiers for a long time, but eventually I'd like to uncomplicate things at least a little bit.

I think that's everything. If I missed anything or you have any questions, please let me know! Either in the comments below or you can just email me at mistyvixen@outlook.com.

Thanks!

The Misty Vixen Newsletter (June 2018)

Hello, readers!

I've been told time and again that I need to get a mailing list and I tried, but I had no idea that I was going to be required, BY LAW, to post my address in every single newsletter.

So I was like...fuck that? I don't need everyone to know my fucking address.

Apparently I can get a PO Box, but that's something that's kind of on my to-do list.

So for now, instead, I'm going to be releasing this newsletter at the beginning of each month. I'll try to keep them short and sweet, although this one will be a little lengthy, given that it's the first one.

In case you're new, Amazon fucked me over last month after I was falsely accused by one of their bots for attempting to manipulate page reads in the Kindle Unlimited. Best guess is that an illegal bot read one or more of my books in an attempt to hide itself and look more legit. But to Amazon, they don't care! They threatened to terminate my account, temporarily suspended me, and ripped every last one of my books out of the store for about two goddamned days.

Right in the middle of the best sales of my entire life, costing me literally hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. More now, given that not only did I lose momentum, but I was also forced to pull out of the Kindle Unlimited, given that they cannot give me any kind of promise that this will not happen again, and the KU was 1/3 of my income.

For a more detailed explanation of the situation, please read this, this, & this blog post. But in short: Fuck you, Amazon.

Naturally, I'm still bitter and pissed. And it's clear that I am not the only author this has happened to. And Amazon doesn't give a fuck. Because fuck the little guys right?

Anyway.

THAT is why I am no longer in the Kindle Unlimited. This has upset several people, for which I apologize. If I had the option to, I would enroll just about everything in the KU. I was thrilled to use it.

As a result of this, I am going to attempt to create my own subscription based service. I am doing this through my PATREON. Below is a list of rewards that I offer.

  • For 1$/month you will get access to the first chapter of any stories I am currently working on.

  • For 5$/month you will also get access to nude versions of my cover art.

  • For 10$/month you will also get access to (eventually) all of my stories in the form of reading it right there on Patreon, or downloading it as a Kindle friendly file, or a PDF.

I am still in the process of piecing together that library. I will be launching it this month. Below is a list of titles that will launch with it.

  • Demoness

  • Royal Lust

  • Wanderlust I & II

  • Alien Harem Season 1 & 2 (NOTE: These are the original versions of Alien Harem, which I have taken down from everywhere, as I plan on doing a full rewrite, but I thought some people might like them.)

  • Exploration

  • My Undead Lover

I will be uploading two new novel-length titles per month for the rest of the year at least. The idea is that I'll be working hard to upload something substantial and new every month from now on. The Misty Vixen Starter Pack will go up in late June, and basically as my other titles (Hellcats Trilogy, Women of the Wild, Demoness II), fall out of the KU, I'll upload them too. I will be uploading novels a little bit ahead of time, so you'll have early access.

Today I re-released my fantasy erotica/romance novel Royal Lust!

Originally, it was a trilogy of novellas titled Royal Love. If you want to know what's different between those two versions, the answer is: basically nothing. In fact, I actually had to remove a bonus short story originally released with the Complete Trilogy pack, as it screwed with the pacing a bit. Not to fear however, as that short, along with several others, will be released for free to my website!

Here's the synopsis: Ellie Lennox is the eldest daughter of the lord of the township Lennox, making her the princess and next in line. Being six foot six and heavily into adventuring, she finds it difficult to find a man to marry, let alone someone to sleep with her. All she’s really interested in are adventures and getting laid, but after a dry spell of sex, she concocts a plan to satisfy her desperate craving.

Warren is a young healer, employed by the local lord to deal with the castle’s magical needs. Although he lusts after Princess Ellie and longs for her best friend Lena, who has been cursed to be undead, he knows that neither will ever be interested in him in that way. Or so he thought. Everything changes when Ellie whisks Lena away to the secluded family cabin and orders Warren to join them. She’s about to change everything as she prepares for a night of hot sex between all three of them...

If you'd like to buy a copy, you can grab it for your Kindle HERE for 2.99, and you can grab it as a paperback right HERE for 9.99$.

Also, just in case you missed it, here's a quick list of other titles I've recently released.

All of these are available in eBook and paperback format, and will eventually be coming to other platforms, like Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and more.

Now, as for the near future.

Wanderlust, a re-release of roughly the first season of that series in novel format, will be coming out June 15th, with Wanderlust II coming out July 1st, Wanderlust III coming July 15th, Wanderlust IV coming August 1st, and Wanderlust - The Complete Collection coming August 3rd. I'll be writing some new content for Wanderlust IV.

I am currently over halfway done with writing Parasexual, which is the first novel in a new series that takes place in my Paranormal Erotica Universe. It'll be 3.99$, as it isn't as long as Demoness II or my other, lengthier releases are going to be. It's a harem novel and a lot more lighthearted, with a lot of emphasis on sex and fun with hot paranormal ladies. Unless something goes really wrong, I will have this out sometime in June. I plan on continuing to work on the Parasexual series until it is complete.

I am about a quarter of the way done with Demoness III. I wish I was farther along, and I honestly would be if all this bullshit with Amazon hadn't completely derailed my life. Parasexual would be done by now and I'd be on my way to writing Parasexual 2. But that's not what happened. On top of that, Demoness III is longer and a little more complex than what I'm used to writing. I'm aiming for it to be about as long as Demoness II, but it might end up being a little longer. We'll see. Either way it will be priced at 4.99$.

When I finish up Demoness III, I'm going to immediately get to work on Women of the Wild II, since people really seem to like the first one.

Now, some of you may be wondering about re-releases. I've since had some time to think about how I want to treat my re-releases, so below is a simple, comprehensive list of where I stand with regards to all my series I wrote before Demoness.

  • Wanderlust. This is getting re-released basically as-is, with a little bit of new content, in four novels.

  • Alien Harem. After some consideration, I have decided to do a full rewrite. This will probably be a trilogy.

  • Adventurous & Amazonian's Love. These are getting re-released as stand-alone novels with basically no changes.

  • Paranormal Passions. This is getting re-released as a trilogy of novels with basically no changes.

  • Valkyries. This is getting completely rewritten from the ground up, and I intend to treat it as seriously as my newer Demoness titles, i.e., they will be longer, more complex titles. Not sure how long this series will go on for.

  • Lust & Adventure. I'll be re-releasing this as a trilogy of novels with basically no changes, however, I am considering continuing this series, since it left off on a pretty open note. It depends on two things: if I get some good ideas and if people want it.

  • Desire. This is being re-released as four novels, with some new material written for the original prequel novella to fill it out some more, and I might continue this. That's a distant might. I have one more idea for another book, and there's always the possibility that I could get more. Plus, Desire's a big place, and there's a lot that can happen. We'll see.

  • Sex & Survival. This is getting re-released as a trilogy with basically no changes, however, I am going to write one more novel that kind of serves to open the door for a very massive change in my Post-Apocalyptic Universe, one that shakes things up a lot and, I think, will make things way more interesting for future releases. Like Haven.

And that's it. Hopefully this makes you happy!

I've just got one more thing to touch on. I originally took all of my episodic titles out of the store to protect myself from Amazon threatening me with more false accusations. I figured that now I've been pulled out of the KU, I could put them back up. Unfortunately, the ones that have not naturally fallen out of the KU yet (most of them), I discovered, will reappear in the KU if I try to re-publish them. Which obviously is not what I want.

So my thought is this: once an entire series falls out of the Kindle Unlimited (this should happen my mid August at the latest for all the series) I will post all of the episodes back up, and reduce the price of each down to .99¢. I'll also be making the first episodes of each series free. Now, to be clear, whenever their time comes to start re-publishing, I will be taking their old versions down completely. So, since Wanderlust is starting up soon, I'll be taking down all three seasons in about a week.

And that's the first newsletter. Again, I'll be releasing these at the start of each month. And they'll be shorter than this one, with releases of the previous month, progress reports, my thoughts, and upcoming releases.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome!

Welcome to my website!

My name is Misty Vixen, and I write erotica. If you want a bit more detail, check out my About Me page, but the gist of it is that I write stories about regular human dudes banging hot inhuman women, including aliens and monsters and paranormal entities.

This site serves as a central hub for me and my content, including helpful links to everything I've written, opinion pieces on erotica and sex in general, and updates on my projects.

Considering I already have a welcome page to the site, I'll keep this short.

I hope you have fun reading about all the hot sex I write about!
