Self Publishing? Sure why Not! Collaboration? Yes, Please!!!
When I first started the journey of self publication I thought it might be difficult. I had done some research and found a mixed bag of results in the online retail stores between Quality and Unspeakably Bad and the vast abyss between these two points. Quality always stands out. A polished product with a pretty package and quality content will always rise above the mediocrity of so-so production and half-ass content or just plain old trying to rip a reader off.
When I started it was always my intent to produce high quality Erotica at a value price that everyone could afford and in doing so not only would the reader be happy but also so would I knowing I had done right by them. But, like I said, that was my intent and we all know about good intentions...lol
What I learned was that I could write a pretty good erotica story. More importantly I learned-this was way harder than I first anticipated- and boy did I need to find some help fast if I wanted to meet the demands I had set for myself and give my readers the polished product they deserved regardless of price. What could I do?
Here's the part where I knew I had to put myself and my trust out there and share what I was up to with a few friends. One of the first people I brought on board(besides my wife of course who had always believed in me)was my long time friend Brandi. Brandi has helped me by correcting numerous errors in my text as well as pushing sentences in much needed directions and also letting me know what works and what needs work. From her input alone I saw a big increase in the quality of my writing and was able to carry that forward. So, to Brandi: Thank you friend because as always you have had my back!
Next I met a few ladies that helped my confidence along and did the best thing for a writer that one can do. What is that you ask? Honest Feedback. If a friend of yours reads what you have written and says its perfect; they wouldn't change a thing! Guess what? They are lying to protect your feelings.That does not help you develop at all. Aww...but I made some good and kind friends who know how to criticize while building you up at the same time. We'll call them Ashley and Beth. Ladies,as always, you have done me a great service time and time again. Thank You both for helping me again and again!
Now, I have some editing, and some beta/proof readers, some guffaws when I screw up and even some women to let me know if the way I write women is not only erotic but also honest, respectful, and believable. This is all starting to come together. What else could I use to improve my writing?
Enter Mia Downing, respected author with a keen eye for bad grammar and a propensity to call you out on it in many finger wagging ways. I should mention, however, that each and every way is filled with truth and a true willingness to help you better yourself. She found me, taught me some things my stories desperately needed corrected and is still educating me. Another piece of the puzzle in place. Thank You Mia!
But I know I am still missing something. Oh Yeah! Quality cover designs!!! Well, here is where I am my most weakest and vulnerable. Not only do I completely SUCK with any kind of photo cover designing program that I have tried but I also just don't have a designers eye. Here's the part of the post where a chance encounter comes into play. Vibhu, another author and a gentle soul that sings the praises of love and friendship introduced me to Aphrodite Smiles. For this act alone I shall ever be indebted to him. His generosity and unselfishness paved the way to not only me meeting an Incredible Cover Designer but also to developing a great new friendship and Collaborater.
Aphrodite Smiles ties the total package together with great cover designs and puts the finishing polish and Big Shiny Bow on the product making each book shine like a star in the night sky. Thank You Aphrodite for your incredible work and amazing artistic eye.
So self publishing was my passion but along the way when I needed to learn and grow it was the friendships existing and new and the random acts of kindness that helped put together an end product I am proud to offer my customers. So unless you are a super person I would suggest taking any help that comes your way. Friends, the kind that can tell you like it is without being mean, are going to aid you in more ways than you could know and they will be your staunchest supporters and keep your creativity fresh and thriving. Thanks to All!!! Chase

Poetic Passion Play with Guest Blogger b.l. ronan
A few words from Chase Boehner to introduce the lovely and talented b.l. ronan.
I became friends with this talented poet through our mutual love of the written word. I happened across her sensual, moving prose quite by accident but stayed because it hooked me! It quite simply drew me in as I experienced and was moved by the emotions she wrote into life. She has made me feel her unquestioning love for the man that holds her heart. She has made me feel lost when she was lost, sad when she was sad, and both hopeful and hopeless as well as found. She has even made me feel some spicier feelings that are best left discovered on your own. So, ladies and gentlemen, the woman I am proud to call friend: b.l. ronan in her own words-
as long as i can remember, i have been in love with words. music, books, poetry - they all used language to convey an emotionally resonating experience. as a shy kid, words were my sanctuary. lost in the expansive range of the english language i was able to be all that i felt that i wasn't. i grew up using writing as a catharsis and an escape. my favorite medium was always poetry, as i had not ever been granted the possibility of more. i wrote my heart out in diaries and depressing angst ridden poems. then i went to college. i got my b.a. in english and it killed my creativity. how could i possibly write something worth reading when i am taking a course that rips apart the greats? so it was years until i picked up the pen and this time it was long form fiction. but this past fall i hit a cross roads and once again found my light in the darkness. the one thing that had saved me so many times before again came to my rescue. this time, however, it looked a little different and pushed the boundaries not only in technique but in context.

why the medium of poetry?
as crazy as it sounds, my brain seems to function lyrically. what i write, is basically what i breathe. a bit of my soul always finds its way through my pen onto the parchment and i always doubt its ability to resonate. prose has always been the true beat of my heart, so there is a comfort level in its brevity.
how does your inspiration strike you? is it through emotions or imagery or a combination of things?
like most writers, i am inspired by everything. mostly i am driven by my emotional state and the need to find a way to relieve the pressure of it. i tap very easily into my darker, shadowed places. these poems are probably my strongest because this is a space i have resided in for a very long time. there is a comfort level there and it also has allowed me to tap into the empathy that writing requires. my rl muse, images, songs - all these things create a spark that then takes on a life of its own. it can be a simple conversation that leads itself to something else entirely.
the hardest poem you ever put to print?
i don't ever find it hard to put pen to page emotionally. i do sometimes lack the headspace to truly tap into the emotive state i need in order to convey the story i wish to impart. emotionally though, my most bare piece is probably tired. i was in a really bad place when i penned it and wrote it through a haze of tears. as most of my darker poems are, this one is truly an imprint of my bruised heart.
why blogging?
i was inspired by other poets who i'd met on twitter. many were blogging and it was how i had access to their work. when i started to write more frequently and gain confidence, i decided, after many pep talks from my friends,to start a blog. it also became a place where i could chronicle my journey. i made some huge life changes when i began this path and this was a way for me to reflect and grow emotionally. i'm amazed that anyone has connected or enjoyed my words and the love and support i have received have pushed me into contemplating publishing. i hope to grow and push myself with each piece of prose and with a blog i am able to share those experiences with others.

Excerpt from Teaching Her, Pleasing Them. My Best Selling EBook to Date!!
“All he does is ask for it constantly!” Cassie complained.
“So stop bitching and give it to him. I really don’t see the
problem here!” I told her as I pulled my white; practically see through summer
dress over my head. I dropped it down to hang on my shoulders and then I tugged
my long brown hair out of the back letting it free fall, almost reaching the
middle of my back.
Cassie sat in the oversize cushioned chair to my right and I
fell back onto my bed to sit facing her. She sat with her arms crossed over her
lush breasts while she leaned back, glaring into space, her hazel eyes fixed
and hard. Her long legs were extended out, one crossed over the other. A black
pump dangled from her floating foot.
“How do you see it, then?” she asked, softening a little.
She puffed at a lock of golden hair that had escaped its tie. It snaked down
over her right eye while the rest of her hair was cinched tightly back,
gleaming in the pale light of the bedroom.
“Let me tell you about Dale and me first,” I said while sliding
on a thin pair of flats that match my dress.
“Ok, Angie. I’m listening.”
“Great! Well, you know how Dale is, right?”
“He’s a good guy,” Cassie sighed, relaxing a bit, uncrossing
her arms and legs.
“No, Cass! He’s an incredible guy. He makes dinners, leaves
me little surprises, cleans around the house, and always lets me know he loves
me.”
“And so we should throw you the parade when?” Cassie spat
out, taking a cheap shot at me. I knew she didn’t mean it so I let it go, and waited
for her to settle down. “Sorry Angie. I just don’t see what exactly this has to
do with me and my problem.”
Cassie rose up out of the chair, flashed me a quick smile, and
then started helping me adjust my dress so it hugged my bra free breasts
properly. I woke up horny as fuck this morning and planned on teasing Dale all
day. You could just make out my dark nipples and areolas. One look at this and
Dale would be salivating until I let him fuck me.
“Now, as good as Dale is, and believe me I’m very lucky and
thankful, he’s still like every other guy. He loves his dick!” Cassie burst out
laughing as I shared more. “He loves it stroked, sucked, teased, and fucked and
has never been afraid to ask for what he wants. So unless I’m sick I woman up
and give it to him.”
“You can’t always be in the mood.” She said while smoothing wrinkles from my
dress with her hands. Her touch was light and I felt a little heat building
below.
“Of course not and it doesn’t matter. I had a revelation one
day after getting frustrated with Dale for asking me for a blowjob.”
“Oh do tell.” I had her curiosity piqued and I could see
genuine interest flaring up as I led her out of the bedroom, into the hall, and
down to the kitchen to grab the iced coffees Dale had made us before
disappearing into the living room to watch the game. I didn’t know who was playing,
only that it was some foreign sport, and I didn’t care as long as he was happy.
“The revelation was that he wasn’t asking for much. How much
time does it take to make Brad come if you set your mind to it?”
Cassie sputtered, shocked by my question.
We reached the kitchen and I handed her an iced coffee and
then drew a sip from mine.
“How long?” I asked persistently.
“Five to ten minutes, if you must know?” She was still
shocked but she was all ears at this point.
“Exactly. Listen, Cassie: if I want a good hard fucking Dale
can and does give it to me for as long as I want it. Only after I’m satisfied
will he come.” I stopped for another sip of Dale’s delicious iced coffee and
leaned in on the marble topped island. Cassie joined me, taking the hint well
and bent down to conspire with me as I continued. “But, if I am just looking to
get him off it’s never more than five or ten minutes unless I want to draw it
out for him.”
“Still don’t see the revelation here!” she said, idly
stirring her drink.
“I realized all the little things my husband does for me he
does without my asking for the most part. Enjoying your drink?”
She nodded while taking a long sip.
“Dale made them. I didn’t even have to ask. I told him you
were stopping by and he just went and made them for our enjoyment.”
“Wow,” Cassie said impressed.
“Yeah, he’s good like that. So that day I was all pissy and
frustrated I realized I wasn’t giving Dale what he was giving me.”
“How does iced coffee compare to sex?”
“Everything amounts to want and caring. We’re women and we
want different things. Men are simpler, full bellies and empty balls and their
life is perfect. In the end I just knew it was worth the small amount of time
it takes to help out my hubby.” Having said that I drained the rest of my glass
and waited for Cassie to get it.
“That’s it?” she said, still confused.
“Yes. Dale always tries to give me what either I want or he
knows I enjoy. When I finally understood that, all my frustration melted away.
I went, found my husband, and sucked his dick like it was the best thing that
had ever been put in my mouth. From then on I made a vow to myself to please
him as much as he pleases me. I even surprise him several times a week without
him asking.”
“You do it without him asking you too?”
“Definitely! Aren’t the best things we get in life the ones
we don’t have to ask for?”
Cassie nodded finally understanding.
“That leaves just one problem,” she said.
“What’s that?”
“You already know Brad’s my first and we’ve had tons of sex
over the last five months….” Cassie drifted off leaving the comment unfinished.
“But?” I could sense it coming before her words confirmed
it.
“I’ve never given a blow job before. I’ve barely even given
him a hand job. I’ll stroke it and get it hard for him but then we usually fuck
or I let him jerk off on my tits.”
Cassie’s face was beet red. This clearly had been difficult
for her to share and before I realized it my mouth was getting me into trouble.
“It’s easy,” I heard myself say like I was floating above us separate from my body.
“I’ll teach you.”
“Really?” she asked with so much hope and relief in her
voice I knew I couldn’t back out.
“Yes, really.” I said resigned to the task and a plan
freshly forming in my mind. It was time to try new things. “What are you and
Brad doing later tonight?”
After I told Cassie my plan I had some convincing of my own
to do. Dale and Brad had met a few times but were hardly fast friends. There
was going to be some initial awkwardness, but then again, a stiff cock in need
of attention is quick to forget, forgive, and move on.
