He's a 10 but he lowkey lives as a hermit because he's convinced everyone still resents him from the time his best friend put the sanctuary in jeopardy
Paperback mock up of Coiled Tight by Emily Alter over a wooden background with blue chipped paint. On top it says "Now live" in big cursive letters. Four curvy arrows come out of the cover, pointing to four "tropes": realism in kink, anxiety rep, wild animal sanctuary, and road trip.

Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence! Show me yours if you want

Coiled Tight, now live on Amazon 🦊🌶️🤠
Sneak peek of the first chapter of Coiled Tight by Emily Alter. One. Cam This was fine. Perfectly fine. Yup. Everything was going according to plan.

Psst: Cam (who doesn't really go by Cameron, and this is established in the first chapter) uses he/him pronouns.

And there is no Texas sanctuary (they're in Colorado), but... nice try, i guess 🫠
Screenshot of an email written by AI about one of my books. Mary White titled the email "Let's boost Coiled Tight's visibility on Goodreads", and it reads as follows: Hi Emily, I came across Coiled Tight and couldn't help but think, this story deserves to reach readers who love contemporary Daddy/little dynamics, cowboy romance, and emotionally charged, steamy storytelling. Cameron and her journey toward redemption, set against the rugged backdrop of a Texas sanctuary, makes it exactly the kind of book fans of kink, heart, and heat devour. Goodreads is one of the most powerful yet often underused visibility tools for authors, especially through Listopia placements and optimized reader engagement. That's exactly what I help authors achieve through my Goodreads Visibility & Listopia Placement System, a strategic approach that focuses on organic discovery and credibility, not ads or gimmick. Here's how it works:

Over a wooden background with blue chipped paint, there's a mockup for the paperback of Coiled Tight. There's vertical text surrounding the paperback that reads "Now Live". On top of the paperback, there's text in a smaller, light pink font that reads: "Who will win? The Little saying he doesn't deserve a Daddy? Or the Daddy who says he knows better?" Below the paperback there's heart made of rope.

Worthy is now live!

🩷 sapphic BDSM/kink (hello, shibari and suspension bondage!)

🩷 butch/femme (it's my first published butch/femme book!)

(cont.)
Over a background with a long haired and a short haired woman embracing, there are bubbly letters saying "now live!", the cover of Worthy by Emily Alter, and a block of text reading: "Heartbreak healed by a single mom making ends meet who shares your love for rope? Yes, please".

3 days left!!

this is not a call for all the "marketers" out there, but if someone wanted to just start posting and sharing and promoting Worthy for me so i can go back to my usual schedule of chaotic posting, that would be great 😇

mybook.to/WorthyPU
Character sheet for María, one of the two main characters in Worthy. The cover of the book is in the bottom corner of the image, along with a faded box of text that reads: "María Domínguez: online croupier | hedonistic switch | just wants everyone happy | recovering people pleaser". The background is the face of a redheaded plus size model with a metal chain necklace that resembles the model in the cover of the book. Character sheet for Jimena, one of the two main characters in Worthy. The cover of the book is in the bottom corner of the image, along with a faded box of text that reads: "Jimena Bruen: bartender | shibari aficionado | just making ends meet | golden retriever". The background is the upper half of a dark haired woman with short hair and a flannel shirt, resembling the image of the butch lesbian I imagine when I think of Jimena.

Speaking of multiple pronouns (see last thread), a bunch of my characters do, too, but i’m supposed to be focusing on Jaime’s book, so…


Go preorder Jaime’s book and deal with this trans masc puppy (he/they) chewing off more than they can bite time and time again

you know how people try to align their releases on February so it's all romcom Valentine-themed stuff?

i released a book that's all about sapphic kink, and more hardcore scenes because 24/7 TPE is a thing ad i needed more sapphic books that explored the dynamic 🥰
