This summer, I'm
self-publishing for the first time. I plan to release erotic retellings of two
fairy tales. "Climbing Her Tower" is a retelling of
"Rapunzel". "Trouble In Thigh High Boots" is my second,
longer retelling of "Puss In Boots". I plan to write an erotic
retelling of "Beauty and the Beast" after those two have been on the
market for awhile.
This isn't the first
time I've retold a fairy tale with an erotic twist. The very first story I ever
published was a retelling of Cinderella after she marries the handsome prince.
Suffice to say things weren't going well in the Magic Kingdom. It was entitled
"Happily Ever After", and I wrote it for Scarlet Magazine in the U.
K. I've wanted to write more erotic fairy tales ever since, and now I've finally
given in to that urge.
Self-publishing has been an interesting challenge. I've hired an editor to look over both pieces. I've selected my cover art stock photos, but I haven't bought them yet. I will attack them with photoshop very soon. I plan an extensive blog tour and promo avalanche for about a month prior to release and a month post-release. I also plan to send an advanced review copy to as many review sites as I can find. It's both exciting and scary to self-publish. I'm relying on several self-published authors to get me past the potholes in the road on my way to accomplishing this feat.

I already have an erotic fairy tale available to read, and it was published by a small e-book publisher. Have you read "Purr"? It's my short story erotic retelling of "Puss In Boots". Here's my blurb:
The alluring puss in boots Muca aspired for her master to become the richest and most respected man in the land, but her job was cut out for her. Could she convince the local farmers to trust in her against the vicious ogre who ruled the region?

I am! I've written a romantic fan fiction story based on OUAT's characters
Rumpelstiltskin and Belle, with a little Regina thrown in. It's entitled
"Every Deal Has A Price" and it's labeled T at fanfiction.net. Here's
a link to read what I've written so far. This is an on-going story.
Enjoy!

Lizzie,
It sounds as if you're off to a great start. There's so much involved in self-publishing, but it looks as if you're managing well.
Good luck and I hope you have smooth sailing with your projects. Another great blog.
Thanks, Mary Suzanne. I have my work cut out for me but I'm having a blast doing it. I also have a new Facebook page about my erotic fairy tales:
