My fellow writer and Blujesto Press author Lucretia Mars discusses her new Kindle book series, GASPERS, starting off with a trilogy that is, in may ways, too hot to publish. She and Blujesto are presenting new and innovative ways of getting his controversial work to the public.

Q: Lucretia, tell us a bit about your new Kindle ebook series, GASPERS.
A: GASPERS is a kinky, erotic novel series with a crime story subplot. 또는 else it’s a crime series with a kinky, erotic subplot. They’re pretty well balanced.
Q: I don’t mean to pigeon-hole it, but it’s a bit like FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, with asphyxia instead of bondage.
A: No, I’ll buy that. I mean, these days, bondage itself is kind of vanilla, kind of mainstream. I mean, it’s common on primetime TV, how taboo could it be? Erotic asphyxia is much 더 많이 complex, much 더 많이 fringe. And it integrates perfectly to the sex-crime aspect.
Q: Somebody’s going around smothering women.
A: Well, that is putting it a bit simply. In the first book the focus is on a dominant / submissive sexual balance with the woman in the sub role, and from the point of view of the protagonist, Kaylee St. Claire, it’s all consensual. Then the murders happen. The 초 book concentrates on the balance of power shifting to a female dominant and a male sub, which is quite common in the world of erotic asphyxia. I think it’s much 더 많이 prevalent to see women choking and smothering men than men smothering women.
Q: What about the third book?
A: I’ve been asked not to talk too much about the third book right now.
Q: Blujesto Press is planning a new kind of release strategy for that book.
A: That I can confirm. The way it’s going to go is that the first two 책 each contain half of a special code. A reader who buys both 책 can send in the complete code and they get the third book for free, direct from the publisher.
Q: Can’t 당신 just give 책 away for free through Kindle?
A: Blujesto doesn’t want to do it that way. I’ll be able to talk a little 더 많이 about it when the 초 and third 책 come out. The third will be available as soon as the 초 book hits the market, but I’m not sure if that will be 다음 월 또는 later in the summer.
Q: It’s pretty mysterious.
A: It is. Neat, huh?
Q: Now, the first two 책 were originally released in paperback as GASPING IN THE SHADOWS. Why the change?
A: When Blujesto bought the rights, they decided to cut the first book, which was already structured in a Book 1, Book 2 manner, and make them separate books. When I pitched them Book 3, they concocted this new marketing strategy. Then they decided to re-brand the whole thing and change the title. I guess the people who bought it in paperback have a nice collector’s item!
Q: Some say that Book 3 is just too filthy to publish.
A: I can’t 코멘트 on that kind of idle gossip. It is pretty filthy though.
Q: After that, are 당신 going to 옮기기 ahead with the GASPERS series?
A: We’ve discussed other places the series can go, and there are plenty. But my immediate plans are for a new series for Blujesto, a horror series. We’re locked in for three 책 this summer and maybe three 더 많이 after that. As with your Kindle series, THIS YOUNG JESUS, every three volumes will be released as a collected volume, in Kindle and on paperback. I actually have the 초 three stories planned too, for a total of six novellas, two compiled volumes. That would take me through the end of 2013, basically. After that, we’ll see about 더 많이 GASPERS books.
