Happy Birthday to Me!

Posted on by Carla Swafford, Author

googleI know that Google does this for everyone (they did it last year), but I still get tickled.  By the way, today, I’m celebrating my birthday and I’ve giving away 21 free copies of CIRCLE OF DISHONOR. (The age I wish I was again. HA!)
How do you get a copy? Wish me happy birthday here and then email me at carlaswafford @ charter.net with your e-book preference (Kindle or Nook). The first twenty-one people who do wins a copy. (This promotion is going on at Facebook too. So that number is part of the count.)

And for those who are late in wishing me happy birthday don’t worry, the cost of the novella is still 99 cents for a few more days.

Remember that the best way to say thank you to an author for writing a book you enjoyed is to leave a review.

[All of the copies have been given away!  Thanks!  Updated 7/19/14]

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000039_00009]In celebration of that special day this week (Shhh! My birthday is Wednesday), the price of CIRCLE OF DISHONOR is 99 cents. (No, it’s not my age.) Amazon has changed it already.

B&N, Kobo, iBooks and a few other places will have it changed in next few hours or so. It will be that price for only a few days. So go get it!

What’s That In Your Pocket?

Posted on by Carla Swafford, Author

CircleofDesire mm cOver the years in romance and erotica, I’ve seen (or is that read) the size of a man’s penis go from average to King Kong in length and width (ouch!). I’ll never forget reading a historical romance where the guy’s cock was so big he had to wear a sheath around it whenever he rode out to battle the enemy. Funny but oddly sexy.

Anyway, I came across this interesting article called Does Size Really Matter? It’s worth a read and maybe the next time (if you’re a writer), you’ll think twice before giving your hero a huge “pleasure rod.”  If you want to know more about penises and sizes, click here and read what Wikipedia said about it.

This all makes me remember a scene in CIRCLE OF DESIRE.

She [Olivia] leaned back in the chair, looking at him [Collin] with half-closed eyes. “Listen I hate men. No, I’m not sexually interested in women. I already have a pussy. Why would I  want another one? I put up with men for one reason only. Their cocks. Big throbbing ones. A real live hot, hard cock is ten times better than any synthetic one at satisfying my needs. I like playing with them and then leaving before they want more. Was that what you wanted to hear?

The burning sensation in her stomach said it all. She hated this discussion. She hated that he couldn’t bring himself to care enough to protect her. Why she expected any man to protect her when she’d done it for herself all this time, she didn’t know. She just did.

Love that woman!
