The first two parts are available on Amazon now:

There’s a new hot guy in 18-year-old Emma’s life and home, in the form of a tall and savagely handsome new MMA fighter stepbrother. Living with the family after an injury, he’s a hard-partying and selfish alpha male with a bad attitude, and she’s fed up with him.

But why does she get so hot when he’s around?

Some more old school 99 cent light and short erotica for you —

Get it HERE on Amazon.

Get the longer collection HORNY FOR THE HOLIDAYS here on Amazon and Smashwords.

Of course, to be frank, I don’t see a lot to be overly thankful for this November, not for me personally, not for my book business, and not for America, but I guess you can always be thankful that things aren’t worse.

BOO!

I’m not a ghost, I’m still alive.

Hey, remember when Amazon erotica cost 99 cents, and were short enjoyable reads about people having sex, with no long-winded Mafia plots and full of extra sample chapters and ad pages to pad out their lengths?

Well, relive those days with TAKEN AT THE HAUNTED HOUSE:

This is a story that’s already in my collection HORNY FOR THE HOLIDAYS, and it’s a definite throwback to those long ago days of, oh, 2011 or 2012.

Why did audiences turn against light short porn?  Your guess is as good as mine. But if you want it, it’s there!

I was thoroughly violated by Amazon in June; almost all of my books were blocked. I got them put back up, but the problem of course is that I lost most of my reviews.

Now I’ve never gotten a lot of reviews — probably because, unlike most Amazon authors, I don’t pay for them — but my reviews were previously mostly good.

At the moment however, pretty much the only reviews I have are bad.

The problem is that most of the people who leave reviews on Amazon are people who love the kind of writing I hate. Flowery, over-written, full of the cliches of the genre.

On the Amazon UK site, someone criticized THREE DAYS A SLAVE as “Poorly written and trashy.” I checked out a book that the critic gave 5 stars to, a lengthy historical fantasy romance, and I about wanted to vomit. The first paragraph consisted of six long sentences, all of which stated in different ways that the Queen was sitting looking out the window.

That’s one of the problems with modern romances. They always start with the backstory and spend ten chapters getting to the good stuff. It’s just as easy to begin “Karin took off her panties and stepped into the room”, and then explain who Karin is, as it is to begin with twenty chapters explaining who Karin is.

Here are some things you are never going to read in a book by Natasha Stevens:

• Lengthy descriptions of the weather, architecture, or clothes.
• Lengthy descriptions of shopping trips or meals
• No Wikipedia-style paragraphs about the history of this or that city or country. (If you want to know more about Prague, for example, look it up yourself.)
• Numerous rhetorical questions the narrator asks of herself, such as “how could I feel this way? How could my body betray me like this? How could I allow him to use me this way?”

I try to follow Elmore Leonard’s 10 Rules of Writing (With the possible exception of the one about using adverbs. As he says, romances are full of “rape and adverbs.” It’s kind of our stock-in-trade.

One of my favorite reviews described THE HITMAN AND THE ESCORT as a “thriller with no filler” and I thought that was exactly what I was trying to do.

Anyway, THE HITMAN AND THE ESCORT will be available for free for the next five days:

Okay, I’m back.

Right?

For now?

All my books are back up again, but most of them lost all their reviews.

If you’re a fan, please go over to my Amazon author page and say something nice about the ones you like.

I’ve been up most of the night crying: Amazon yesterday blocked ELEVEN of my books.

No warning given, and no explanation provided. Just the usual “in violation of content guidelines” and those guidelines are literally “pretty much what you’d expect.”

I’ve had a book or two blocked before, but never like this. It’s not the actual fact of blocking my works, or Amazon choosing what kind of stuff they want on their platform; it’s the cruel, cruelly random nature of the way they do it.

All my books were approved and published, and all of them were already selling. Apple is very strict about content; but they block it BEFORE they publish it.

There was no warning. There are no guidelines about what is unacceptable. (Obviously there is a LOT of stuff available on Amazon that is far, far more offensive than my stuff. And why did some of my books remain? It seems to have been a crack down on the term “dark erotica.”)

There is no appeal process (although you can contact them to talk about it, though it rarely helps.) I might be able to re-publish some of them, but they’ll have lost their rankings, which were doing very well.

Just, suddenly, 70 percent of my income has disappeared. Poof.

I’ve re-activated a few things. Here’s the sad remains of my Amazon author page.

Some of my friends envy the money I make from my writing; I would point out this as an example of how heartbreaking it can be.

Remember my story THE GARDENER AND THE TEASE?

Well, I always wanted to continue that story, but I had trouble thinking of a “hook.”

So obviously the thing to do would be to make the Gardener into a stepbrother, MMA Fighter, and former Navy SEAL, right?

Put ya name on it!

I originally wrote this book under a different name, but I actually like it a lot, and feel that despite having more hot man-on-man action than my other books, it’s very distinctly a Natasha Stevens Joint. It’s got the dubcon, the dark humor, the snappy dialogue — but here it’s also got a strong female lead who’s NOT 18, and not skinny. She’s a big beautiful woman, and she likes to watch gay men get it on, and she’s not taking no crap from nobody nomore!

Get it HERE on Amazon FREE from 4/11/20116 to 4/15/2016.
