New Year, New Idea, and Upcoming Release

Natural Exposure by Koriana Brackson now available on Kindle Unlimited

Welcome to the Bijou Bugle Newsletter!

So glad you've subscribed.


After a little time off around the end of the year (and playing/beating Deathloop, which I LOVED) I've been back to writing and editing, and oddly enough, already came up with my Camp NaNo idea. 

Which brings up the question of, would you (as a follower and reader) only read my erotic romance books, or would you read anything else I'd write, even if under a different pen name?  I'd love to know, if you want to take this poll.

When it comes to Bijou Basin I haven't started on anything new, and I don't plan on starting anything new at least until the middle of the year. But, Book 3 of the Bijou Basin Book Bites - A Double Dose of BDSM - is with Betas and I'm hoping for a February 14th release if all goes well.  It's currently available for pre-order. Cover, and blurb below.

Natural Exposure will be on a $0.99 sale again upcoming - February 11th - 15th. I hope you'll grab it then, if you haven't already!


So, what am I working on?  Two things, for now. 

1 - My Cruise mystery - Murder on the Marianas Majesty - is in the hands of beta readers.  It needs a LOT of work, including some help with some parts of it.  I love the book and the story and the characters but I have a lot to figure out with it. 

2 - In the meantime, I've been doing re-writes for my psychological thriller - RoE - which is my 2021 NaNo project. It's much more straight forward, to a point, and I'm about 20 chapters into a re-write, though I have no idea how many chapters there will end up being.  If anyone would like to beta read either, please get in touch. 


What's upcoming?  Two things, for now.  :) 

1 - Edits and tweaks of DDofBDSM when I get notes back from the beta readers.  Then formatting the paperback too. They rarely get purchased, but I love having them for myself.

2 - Camp NaNo in April.  This time, I know what I'm writing and once again it's going to be different. And hard, and detailed.  And it may *gasp* require some planning.  My pantser heart can barely take it, but I'll survive because it'll be worth it.  :D 



Thank you! To those who have bought one of my books, or are reading Natural Exposure on Kindle Unlimited.  I really appreciate it so very much. I hope you're enjoying Kenzie, Jarrett, and Ripley's stories.

----------

If you read any of my books, I would be grateful for some reviews as they have stalled out a bit for me. Reviews are everything for an author, even if it's simply a star rating. 

If you read AND review Natural Exposure, send me a link to your review (Goodreads or Amazon preferred) and I'll send you a copy of Negative Exposure FREE as a thank you!

Don't forget about Natural Exposure being FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Will only remain on Kindle Unlimited through February.
A Double Dose of BDSM by Koriana Brackson
In the six months since Kenzie and Jarrett began An Exploration of BDSM, they've learned a lot about themselves. They continue to grow as a couple and as their D/s evolves from a bedroom-only kink, to a 24/7 lifestyle.

With their one year anniversary approaching, Jarrett sets up a surprise for Kenzie. She has several items on her 'really want to experience' list, and he's more than willing to give her what she yearns for with A Double Dose of BDSM.

Upcoming on the Blog, Final month of Natural Exposure on Kindle Unlimited, and More




Hello world!

I haven't kept up with my blog as I have wanted to. Back in May of 2020, I decided I was going to really go full steam with this blog and tell you all the juicy tidbits about my books, and like a dufus, I posted every. single. day. of the month. I got burnt out, FAST. SMH. I really REALLY wish I hadn't done that. Did I think I had the amount of stuff to talk about to do it? Sure. Did I want to take the time to do so every. single. day? No - not really.

So, let's try again. This time - once a week. That should be MUCH better, don't you think? It will be for me for sure and maybe (hopefully) it'll build up a little bit of a following here. I know I have Twitter - but I really hate Twitter. I set up an Instagram too.

These things aren't me because I talk WAY too much for them. With my blog, I can ramble all that I want without stupid character limits. And so, I shall. It'll be up to you on if you want to read or not.

So, be on the lookout for more things to come. I may repeat a few of my better earlier posts, to get more people up to date. Do people go back and read old posts? (Would love to hear if you do or not.) I'm doubting it so hopefully no one will mind a few reused posts.

As for my books, Natural Exposure will only remain on Kindle Unlimited for the next MONTH. It comes off of it Feb 5th, so if you'd like to read it for FREE, jump on that.

I'd hope KU would work for me and while I have seen a good amount of pages read - it's no where near the amount of books I sell. It just hasn't been worth it to me. I'd consider extending it, or bringing it back if I had a more steady readership - so if you get your friends to start reading - maybe it'll stay. :)

The THIRD book in my novelette companion series - Bijou Basin Book Bites is in the hands of Beta readers and I'm aiming for a 2/14/22 release. You can pre-order on Amazon now, as well as add it to your Goodreads list. Clicking on the cover below will take you to Amazon, and the blurb is listed below that.

That's it for me for now. Hope your 2022 is starting off to a good start.



The Blurb:
