My 2nd collection, "A Succubus for Valentine's Day and other tales of Perilous Pleasures" is now out (sort of).
Here is the obligatory blurb:
Alluring, exotic, delectable, sexy... dangerous.
M. E. Hydra returns with a second collection of thirteen sizzling stories featuring seductive succubi, amorous aliens and other sexy femme fatales.
“A Succubus for Valentine’s Day” shows the perils of letting a succubus play cupid. Two tourists discover a dark secret lurking in Amsterdam’s red light district in “Venus of the Red Lights”. In “Knight vs Succubus”, a knight battles for his life and soul against a cunning and seductive demon. A man finds out his pleasure planet of blue-skinned alien babes is not as it seems in “The Spiders of Thomisoidus”. And finally, a young man has a very special date in “A Summer Dance with a Succubus”.
You will be enthralled, aroused, and terrified in equal measure by these and other tales of wicked, sensual predators. They’ll give you pleasures beyond your wildest dreams, and terrors beyond your darkest nightmares...
This is my second collection of short stories, first published in 2011 through Excessica. I've republished it with a new cover and afterword (and a thorough editing pass to fix anything I missed the first time around).

It should also have updated at Smashwords, but check the preview first to make sure you're getting the updated version (the copyright page should mention cover art by Wombo AI and a 2nd edition date of 2022, which should indicate it's the correct version):

I also uploaded it to Google Play this morning, so it should go live there in a couple of days. Check my author page:

Where it isn't currently available, sadly, is Amazon. I'm working on it and hopefully will have it available at some point, but I'm having to deal with staggering levels of incompetency from Amazon KDP's support department. I'll put up a post describing my 'experiences' in full grisly details in a few days. Kafka-esque nightmare doesn't even begin to cover it.
UPDATE: The problems at Amazon appear to have been resolved. You can now find it there as well:

ReplyDeleteSo, can we expect "A succubus for customer support" soon?
After the battle to get this book out, I'm sorely tempted, although customer support would likely be getting the full Horror End rather than a smexy Bad End! :D
DeleteI'm sorry if you have already answered this question a million times before.
ReplyDeleteIs the third installation of 'Succubus Summonings' in the works, if so, is there an ETA?
It's probably one of my most favourite books I have ever read.
Queued up, but behind other things. I wanted to break a bad habit of starting and not finishing projects, so I'm locked in to getting a completed version of the House of Hellish Harlots interactive fiction project finished first, even though it's turned out a lot bigger than I initially planned for.
DeleteDamn Amazon acting up again. What I do like about the Madam is her fairness, but the fact that she seems to dislike a human dying from agony. I think its why she didn't like Chen with her acid trick. She of course will see nothing wrong with a human dying while feeling pleasure but as a lust daemon, I can see them being disgusted with causing physical pain to them human.
ReplyDeleteYup, answered that on the following post. The Madam doesn't mind her gals 'consuming' the visitors to the House, but she's an old-fashioned succubus and feels the prey should go out with awesome, mind-blowing sexual pleasure.
Delete-They got their own castle.
ReplyDelete-Their own "magic elf servant" that fed Phil and dusts the place.
-They have monster girl minions that lurk at the castle, including the wargen that act as outside guard dogs.
You know what I love about this Hydra? It makes Verde and her sisters into princessess. Its even hotter when you realize those lovely hot succubi are basciallly royalty. :)
Verde and crew as Disney Princesses does make me chuckle. I think I might have to write a story parodying that. :D
