So first, thank you to everyone for being interested enough to read this. I'm really pleased and flattered and grateful that people want to read what I write.Just, thank you!And just so you know, everything I write is free to read on my website, including all the stories in the anthology collection books that are for sale here. I'll explain that a bit more down the page a little.But first, because whimsy, and this was how I started the old bio. Without further ado, hi, I'm Tess and I write smut. And sometimes other things.Mostly smut, though. By which I mean, I try to write slightly thinky, realistic, character-driven erotica. People do kinky stuff, but hopefully in the way real people might, when they're having an especially good day. Often I write about people in strong relationships trying new things, like bringing in new sex partners, and sometimes about their relationships getting complicated and ending, too, but usually in ways that mean its for the best. So people change, and develop, and live their lives, and that's connected to the sex they're having. And they have a lot of sex.The emphasis is usually on sex. It isn't really romance, even though it is about relationships, and it isn't really escapist so much, either. I think probably the best way to describe it is as kind-of chick-lit, and kind-of smut, but mostly just stories about people, which happen to concentrate on them having sex rather than some other aspect of their lives. And some of what I write is about women and men, and some of it is about women and other women, and this should be clear from the blurbs.So anyways. The thing with the free stories.This is a thing I'm going to try. A brilliantly disorganized marketing plan! I'm going to start putting everything I write up on my website for free as soon as it's done, which is tessmackenzie.com, and also at a place called Wattpad.Yep, that's right. Everything I ever write. All of it. Free.I should probably write that as FREE!!!Then, every so often, I'll make an anthology collection book and put it on Amazon.So that all sounds a bit weird right? Everything's free except it isn't?Well, yes, I guess it is. I mean, it would be nice to sell billions of books one day, but I really also just want people to read what I write, and I also don't want anyone to feel pressured to hand over money, and although all of this is bit weird, maybe it'll work. Because, hey, maybe. So, yes, it is sort-of a devious plan to, um, I don't know, win you over, I guess, and guilt you into one day eventually buying things. But really, really mild guilt, I completely promise. So don't worry if you never end up buying anything. Read all the same!Although, on the other hand, if you would like to buy something, I would really appreciate it, and that would be fantastic, and please do! Don't let me put you off!But there's no need to pay for anything unless you want to. And we'll see how this wonderfully chaotic experiment goes! Anyways. This is the plan. New stories will appear on my website as I write them, and new books will appear here when there are enough similar stories to make a book, and, well, that's it, really.I didn't say it was a very complicated plan!So anyway. We're all clear on how this works now? Yay! Buy things if you like but no pressure.And also, just, um, thank you. Really, just thank you all heaps for reading what I've written until now, and wanting to read other things, and just for everything, really. I'm really, really grateful to everyone who's interested.
