Breaking of a Freshman (Part 2)

I'm afraid this title might be a little bit longer before it's released.  When I first started writing the cover art that I selected to use was hit or miss and generally poor quality.  My covers have gotten vastly better, but it's important for me to remain consistent.  So, in order to release Part 2 of Breaking of a Freshman I want to find new cover art for Part 1 and release a new cover for it along with a model that fits the description of the character and has a second photo I can use for Part 2.

Maybe I'm being a little anal.  I don't know.

You'd be surprised though to discover how hard it is to find sexy cover worthy photos of plus size women that I could legally use for a cover.  I spent a few hours between yesterday and today combing through thousands of photos and trying different searches and no luck.  I'm not going to give up, but for now I'm going to go onto some other projects and wait until I have a moment of writer's block or something in order to take up the search again.

My apologies to everyone who has been awaiting this title, I promise you that I haven't forgotten about it and have every intention of finishing it.

Male or Female?

The title of this blog pretty much says it all.  I'm interested in finding out how readers within the genre of erotica feel about cover art.  Would a male reader generally not pick up an erotic story with good ratings but with a hot guy on the cover?  Do women pay closer attention to erotica with a man on the cover or automatically think that it must be gay male erotica?  If you have any thoughts on this I'd love to hear them either here in the form of comments or email me at logan.lee2011@gmail.com

Cover Art Search

By far the most time consuming part of publishing my stories online is the quest for appropriate cover art.  I would like to extend an offer to my readers.  If you would like to contribute cover art for me to use simply send it in an email to logan.lee2011@gmail.com.  I'll give a special thanks to you in the story and mention you in any way I can without giving away your real name or contact info unless you would like me too.

I spend hours looking online for photographs that I can use and I would much rather spend the time writing more stories that you, the reader, can enjoy.  All I ask is that if you send me cover art it not have any full frontal nudity, and please make sure that you have the legal rights to allow me to publish it.  Please don't send me a photo of your friends that they may see and freak out about.
