I won’t burn the bitch

There’s a subset of the subgenre of naughty wife erotica that would like to see the wife punished for her misadventures. This variant is typically called “burn the bitch,” or BTB (not to be confused with the corporate lingo), usually features a cheating wife, and is almost always not my thing.

This’ll be short, but I felt like it needed to be addressed because these story lines are so tangential to the ones that I am drawn to, and I’ve gotten a few readers asking (or suggesting) I explore a BTB. Simply put, I won’t. To me, a happy ending is pretty damn important, both from a romantic perspective, but also from a literary one. I write about couples (and wives) who explore a naughty side of themselves that they didn’t know they had. The goal is always to strengthen their relationship by understanding themselves better. To write a story that ends in revenge runs contrary to what I’m trying to do as an author.

Let me be clear about a few things. Opinions are opinions, and I’m not judging those people who enjoy this kind of literature. Our desires are crazy and inexplicable things, and sexuality is even more enigmatic. Also, real life is messier than fiction. People cheat. People get hurt. People hurt their loved ones. And a lot of times, marriages end in divorce (or worse). I strive to write stories full of characters that (hopefully) feel real, and they go through their ups and downs, and things may even get dark, but in the end, I’m writing their destinies, and I feel like writing one that ends in tragedy would be a waste of time for me.

Again, this is only my opinion, and it’s one of many. But hopefully this’ll help set your expectations about my books.

dreaming-coverNew book by Kenny Wright: Dreaming of Another

Stephen Warren’s college girlfriend, Brigitte, was every guy’s dream come true—a busty blonde with a kinky streak. They didn’t last, and Stephen eventually settled down with a great woman, but even seventeen years later, Brigitte still visits his dreams.

Chrissy Warren is curious about the woman who shaped her husband during his most formative years. As they relive that fateful summer of young lust, they unlock fantasies that neither knew they had—Stephen’s voyeurism, Chrissy’s craving for sexual adventure, and most stunning of all, Stephen’s buried desire to share his wife.

When they get invited to a destination wedding in the Virgin Islands, knowing that Brigitte would be there with her playboy husband, will this couple be able to resist the dream of playing with another?

Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Apple iBookstore, or Kobo.

Eroticaformen.com under construction

The experimental site, eroticaformen.com is semi-offline for the time being. I’m not only giving it a new paint job, but I’m rebuilding the engine, so it’ll be a bit before you can catch this ride (okay, no more of the car metaphors).

Basically, in redoing the look and feel, I decided I didn’t like the data model I was using, so I decided to implement woocommerce to manage the books. It’s not turning into a bookstore or anything. You’ll still need to go to your favorite retailer to purchase, but this way, it’ll feel more like a shopping experience.

Downside is we’ll lose any comments. Upside? There weren’t very many anyway.

Full speed ahead! (Sorry.)

2014 Year in Review

2014 was a busy one for me—just not on the writing front. I’d wanted to publish six new books. Instead, I only managed two novels (Cool With Her all the way back in February, and Nothing Forbidden just this November), plus a compilation of short stories (Wife Sharing Shorts, Vol. 1) in June. It turned out that having a child at the beginning of the year and changing jobs in the middle of it ate into my writing time.

But that’s not to say that the year wasn’t a good one in the erotica front. With fellow authors Ben Boswell, Max Sebastian, and Kirsten McCurran, eroticaformen.com was launched (and languishes a bit). Additionally, with Ben Boswell, I published my first non-Kenny Wright book on KW Publishing (Two Sides of Terri was released in January, and if you haven’t picked it up, it’s one of the must-reads for 2014 in this genre). I also got mentioned in Shape magazine, shared a drink with both Kirsten McCurran and Ben Boswell (separately, not all together), and designed a whole bunch of new covers.

So what’s on the horizon for 2015? If I have time (har har), I’ll do a more formal “resolutions” post, but I can give you guys a sneak peek. For one, Training to Love It, which I’ve mentioned on and off through the year, will see the light of day (and AJ with it). I’m currently working on a story about a man who has a recurring dream about an ex-lover and how his wife handles that. And if I’m really on a roll, I should have an erotica thriller about a man whose wife takes an undercover assignment that puts her in some compromising situations. Who knows, maybe I can hit my six book goal!

But for now, let’s sit back and celebrate the year that’s just past. Hope you all had a merry Christmas, and here’s wishing you a happy New Year.
