Title: Punished on my Honeymoon
Author: Caia Fox
Genre: Erotica
Total Words: 10,000
Completion Time: 8 hours

Description

Jack breezed into my life like a whirlwind and swept me off my feet. But little did I know the kind of wife my new billionaire husband wanted me to be.

Could I really be expected to obey him in all things and accept I would be punished if I didn’t follow his commands?

I might have walked out right then if I hadn’t loved Jack so much (and if being punished by him hadn’t been such an enticingly seductive idea...)

My translator is so fast, she sent me the Dutch translation in under 24 hours. Since I had it in hand with free time to spare, it wouldn't be right not to get it published before the end of the year. Well, here it is...

This is a smaller version of the previous collection. Although these don't sell big numbers, they're still good for a sale here and there. For the time invested, it's a no-brainer. (Please note the cover is in the process of being revised.)

Additional Comments

This collection took a bit longer due to one of the titles having a different resolution than the other three. Once I upgraded the resolution, everything came together, but it was quite a pain in the butt. Thank God it's done and out the door now. Although I've gotten a couple new foreign language titles out the door, many more await. At least I've pared down the list a little. (Please note that the title has changed slightly and will be updated ASAP.)

Total Words: 8,300
Fantastic Finish Completion Time: 8 hours

Description

here are two things about herself that Izzy has always known with absolute certainty: One, that she was adopted and two, that she has an affinity for the sea. For from her earliest memories on, the ocean has always called out to Izzy. But her adoptive parents thwart her attempts to get closer to the sea at every turn.

When Izzy turns eighteen, she goes in search of her past and her birth family. It's a quest that will take her to the boardwalk of Ocean City, New Jersey, and to a mysterious fur coat that might hold all the answers to Izzy's questions.

This is a fantasy novelette of 8200 words or approximately 27 print pages.

Warning: There are a few rude words in this story, because teenagers sometimes swear.

Additional Comments

I actually wrote this several weeks ago, but since the writing was so dark and disturbing, I took a break and really thought about what I'd written. Sure, it was right in line with the wacky nature of Bottling Farts, but it sure was wild. I'm happy to say that I finally finished it, and at 4,200 words, it's the longest of the three installments.

Will there be more? Of course! But there are some other projects I need to get out the door first. At very least this one got done, which feels special in its own right.

This is book 15 in my list so far. I’m still a beginner at this, but delighted that it has hit at less than 20K in the paid rankings for a little while.

I’ve enjoyed writing this series of stand-alone stories.

Work on this translation began in August and was finally completed this November. The translator was going to school at the time, and put aside an hour here and there to work on the translation. I wasn't sure if I'd ever see this translation, and I'm glad it's done. Celyne did an outstanding job!
