Book Focus: My Wife's Twin
Sorry, another week missed on what's supposed to be a weekly newsletter schedule. Oh, well.

This newsletter's Book Focus is about "My Wife's Twin", one of my standalone shorts.

The idea originated as another of my "walk in on" plot bunnies, but was initially meant to be a husband finding his wife making love with her twin sister (a variant I still haven't written) after the sister leaves her cheating husband.

At that time (Summer 2017), I was trying to write some shorts for Amazon to be enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, to see how many page reads I could get from them as shorts and maybe attract readers to my longer books.

That meant the incest angle was out, if I wanted to publish to Amazon. The plot instead morphed into the husband coming home from work, hearing the shower running and joining in, thinking that it is his wife in the shower, only realizing that it is her identical twin after she lets him have sex with her.

It winds up midway between the plot of my short "Seeing Double" from 2016 (there the twin sisters do have sex) and "Walking In On Love" (triad with wife's best friend), which I had written a few days earlier, also for Amazon/Kindle Unlimited.

What's been most surprising is that Amazon was fine with the above cover, but I've had more trouble with it on Facebook, just because you can see a naked back and the very top of her buttocks (which I cropped out of the original stock photo) and nothing more. I even had to create a censored version of the above blurb graphic for one erotica group (which I won't name here, but some of you may have seen it and wondered about why -- I reposted it there earlier today, in fact.)

I later took this book (and "Walking In On Love") off of Kindle Unlimited, then distributed them wide. They're both just $0.99, though.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving and I'll see you again next weekend, I hope.
