Getting Lucky I: Pedro & Eddie (Interracial Erotica)
When Katherine is nagged by her friend to buy a lottery ticket, she doesn’t expect that anything will come of it.
The curvy artist’s immediate thoughts are that her sensible ancestors would roll over in their graves at news of her folly and that she would have been better off using the five dollar bill to wipe her butt than to spend it on something as foolhardy as a lotto…
The five dollars turns out to be quite the investment: she wins the New York Tax Free Mega Millions Lottery in excess of $130 Million!
It seems as though life will never be the same!
Shortly after she claims her winnings, Pedro, the lotto authority’s sexy Hispanic makeup artist, shows up to polish her looks for the press conference.
Pedro is as gorgeous and well-hung as he is horny…and he has propositioned her on the spot.
It would appear that her good luck is holding!
A few days later, at a party celebrating her big win, she is propositioned by her chocolate skinned lover from college.
A friend with benefits, Eddie has felt neglected for some time now…and he has no intention of taking “no” for an answer!
Getting Lucky I is Volume I in a series following the adventures of Katherine, the instant millionairress who enjoys men, women and pleasures that span entire continents.
Will my post-apocalyptic erotica novella find a home?
So……
………I have decided that I am going to query Ellora’s Cave books about my post-apocalyptic novella about Ana, the Amazon-like warrioress, her remote jungle home and the enigmatic fertility researcher who happens upon her exsquisite nude form as she is taking an afternoon swim after a long – and successful – hunt.
Wow. That was a mouthful. Try saying that really fast – you are guaranteed to run out of breath. My fabulous high school English teacher Mr. Ortwein once informed me in as gentle a manner possible that I am at times guilty of run-away (or run-on?) sentences like the one above. He did this in the cutest way: he drew a little run-away train going off the tracks saying “choo-choo” to give emphasis to his point.
Suffice to say, I remember this lesson well and as a result am now apologizing for the run-away train sentence you read, as well as any you may read in the future on this blog – or in my novels.
Back to the whole point of THIS post.
I am going to query Ellora’s Cave Books about Ana’s story (the title of which I soon have to decide on). It is an interracial/multi-racial sexy romp that I hope they will find delightfully intriguing. It is my hope that Ellora’s will pick up this title so that I can build a relationship and reputation with them for future work.
I am doing this not because I am entirely or largely dissatisfied with my other two publishers, Extasy Books and New Concepts Publishing, but because Ellora’s Cave seems to have a fabulous reputation, a large following/readership and will potentially offer greater exposure for moi, the amateur authoress Amanda M. Holt (or my chosen pen name).
Now, I pose this question to any who might listen and offer an opinion: should I query Ellora’s Cave with the suggestion that I publish Ana’s story under my own name – Amanda M. Holt – or publish Ana’s story under a pen name (such as Alexandra Gayle, the nom de plume that I am just ITCHING to use, as it is a combination of the names of both of my Godparents).
What to do, what to do?
Please advise.
Sincere regards,
Amanda M. Holt
p.s. – for those of you who don’t know what a query letter is, it can be best described as A) A query letter is a formal letter sent to magazine editors, literary agents and sometimes publishing houses or companies (Wikipedia definition) and B) A brief written presentation to an agent or editor designed to pitch both the writer and the book idea (definition from brochure-design.com )…C) a query letter basically asks if a publishing house would be interested in seeing your work (or a sample of your work — my simplest definition)…Now here I go, aiming to find time in my Nursing Student schedule to pen an attention-grabbing query letter!
