Celebration
Posted by Ella Ardent
Welcome to the Plume – where members are bound by desire and fantasies come true…
Debts are settled and new beginnings are launched in this culmination of the Plume Series. As the former members of the private BDSM club locate each other and undertake an initiative of their own, Athena plans a party to celebrate her new venture. Joanna and Mike will be getting married, even if Joanna’s newest idea is causing Mike some concern. Rex finds new hope in unexpected places, even before he’s presented with a gift that will both thrill and challenge him in the years ahead.

btw, I’ve learned something new. My formatter uploads a lot of content directly to Apple, and she said their new rules (from February) require for erotica to have its first category as Fiction-Erotica-General. (These categories mirror BISAC codes, which define the appropriate category for any given work. That tells retailers how to list or shelve books.) Smashwords allows books to have two categories. I’d chosen Fiction-Erotica-General as the second category for Switch, because I didn’t think the order mattered. Maybe it does. I fixed the categories for Switch when she told me that, and have published Celebration with that category first. We’ll see if it turns up in the iTunes store faster as a result. I hope so!

EXHIBITION
Posted by Ella Ardent
Book #5 in the Plume series is available!
Welcome to the Plume – where members are bound by desire
and fantasies come true…
An exhibition of his photographs in a prestigious art gallery is Rex’s dream come true, but it comes with a hook: troublemaking Louise arranged the show but ensured it was a joint show, including her own sculpture exhibit. REx doesn’t want anything to do with his provocative former slave, but Louise proves to have a talent for getting under his skin. Meanwhile, Athena has concerns about the gallery’s opening night party for Rex and Louise’s show, which has become the event of the year. Will this public display of Rex’s photographs taken inside the club expose the Plume and its membership to new possibilities – or peril?

Hot Summer Nights BlogHop
Posted by Ella Ardent
Skye Warren has arranged an erotica and erotic romance bloghop, to start the summer off right, and I’ve joined the conga line. There are over 100 participating erotica authors and bloggers, AND there are prizes, too!
First, let’s talk about summer. Summer has strong associations for me, so I’ll try to work them all into this post.
First off, summer is a time of new experiences and a chance to try new things. I remember that sense of freedom at the end of the last day of school and the sense that anything could happen in the months ahead. Summer is exciting. Summer is a time to experiment and sample new experiences.
Like, maybe, joining a private BDSM club…
I write linked series with continuing characters. My series, The Plume, is set at a private BDSM club called (surprise) The Plume. Have you ever fantasized about joining such a club? In the first erotic novella of the series, SUBMISSION, Joanna the reporter goes undercover to get the real story of the Plume. The truth is that she has some secret fantasies of her own, which is why she volunteered for the assignment. It’s fall when Joanna first enters the Plume, but you can follow her inside the notorious club and share her experience this summer. You might find it pretty hot inside the Plume! (Or you might find the co-owner, Rex, to be pretty hot.)
These novellas are erotica – although individual characters will find their happily-ever-afters over the course of the series, each novella might not end with one. Each novella does, however, have plenty of sex, and at least one interval of wild abandon within
the Plume.
Currently, the first four novellas set at the Plume are available: SUBMISSION, SURRENDER, SEDUCTION and DECEPTION. The first three novellas are also available in an anthology, either digitally or in print.
The next installment in the Plume series is EXHIBITION, which will be published very soon.
Summer is also about free samples, and by perfect coincidence, SUBMISSION is currently free. Read more about the Plume series and get the links, right here.
Summer is a time for weddings, as well. My upcoming series of erotic romances takes place at a wedding and is called The Wedding. The bride’s fantasy is to have a perfect wedding at a romantic Caribbean resort, so her friends and family make the trip to see her exchange vows with her one true love. Of course, weddings are emotional events and ones that seem to invite disaster – this wedding doesn’t shape up to be quite as perfect as planned. There are guests determined to make the most of the romantic setting, guests indulging themselves with vacation sex, plus a “happy couple” with major doubts. Rules get broken, people take chances and everything comes right in the end. The Wedding is coming soon – eye candy is right here.
Summer is about prizes. You can win a signed print copy of THE PLUME: THE FIRST ANTHOLOGY by adding a comment to this blog post. Let’s talk about experimentation – in your comment to enter the contest, tell me what you’d like to try out for the first time this summer.
You have until June 24 to enter.
Finally, summer is often about roadtrips. You can do that vicariously by continuing along the bloghop road to visit other participating authors and bloggers. There are lots of authors participating, a prize at every blog AND an overall gift basket of digital books to keep you busy reading for a while. Here’s the number one stop on the list and here’s the linky list of participants.
Have fun!

The First Anthology of The Plume in Print!
Posted by Ella Ardent
The print edition of the First Anthology of the Plume is now available!
The book is in trade paperback format and I’m really pleased with how it looks. On the back cover, there are thumbnails of each of the three novella covers, along with the copy for each. The book is priced at $9.99US.
All anthologies will be in the same size as this one – so they line up on the bookshelf – and the designer will ensure that the graphics look good together too.
You can buy it now directly from Createspace, right here.
It will appear on Amazon in the next week or so, as another edition on this page.

SEDUCTION
Posted by Ella Ardent
And finally, SEDUCTION has been published!
Joanna and Mike have discovered that they share a taste for bondage as well as a yearning for a committed relationship. Can they build a future together that fulfills their secret desires – or will the allure of the Plume and its pleasures prove too potent to resist? Meanwhile, it’s Christmas at the Plume and Rex is making the wishes of club members come true – including those who have been nice and those who have been naughty.

Quick Update
Posted by Ella Ardent
For those of you who are waiting, SEDUCTION will be published this week. (I’m aiming for Wednesday.) It’ll be available most quickly at Smashwords, Amazon and All Romance eBooks, then will have to perk its way through to the other outlets (Sony, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Diesel and Scrollmotion.)
Also, I have wonderful new covers to show you later this week. The next two Plume covers have been completed by the cover artist and I think they’re wonderful. DECEPTION will be a March release and EXHIBITION will be a May release.
Finally, the artist has done the cover for the First Plume Anthology. It’s gorgeous! This anthology will include the first three novellas (SUBMISSION, SURRENDER and SEDUCTION.) The anthology will be available both in a digital edition and in a print-on-demand edition. Not sure about timing – I’m still learning about POD! – but I’m hoping for February. I’ll keep you posted.
In a way, the first three stories focus on Joanna’s story, although there are cameos from other characters too. I like that the antho pulls all of her story into one volume. The next three novellas will focus on Rex’s story. Stay tuned!

I’m so excited that I have to share this with you. Here’s the cover for SEDUCTION, coming in November.
Isn’t it gorgeous?
This is the novella in which Joanna gets her H.E.A.
