I'm a few weeks behind on this release, but 'Strong Medicine, The B3 Trials: Volume #2' is now out! It's available as a standalone purchase for $2.99 or via Kindle Unlimited (KU), like usual:
It's ~9,450 words and 38 pages long, per Amazon, which is right in the middle of where I'd like most of these individual installments to land going forward. Between 7,500 and 12,500 words feels like the ideal range right now, depending on how many POVs I have in each release, and probably no more than 15,000 or so for any bigger, standalone entries. The more compact stories have tighter pacing, and plenty of good smutty fun that doesn't overstay its welcome.
That leaves room for a good mixture of setup, titillating tease, breast expansion, and actual fucking, plus varying levels of bimbofication and HUCOW action, all while keeping my cost-to-content ratios strong when compared to a lot of what I see in the genre on KU. That's also enough page space to continue developing the larger story concerning B3's spread and its expansive, lactescent complications, which is more enjoyable to write (for me) and hopefully more fun to read (for you) as well.
I'm still chewing on future pricing for these, but my current plan is to keep even numbered releases – EF2, EF3, etc. – priced at $2.99 each and mostly focused on the core cast of Marv, everyone else who was in the lab during the events of EF1, and Dr. Sumen. The in-between books like EF1.5 and the upcoming EF2.5 will focus on side characters, be priced at either $0.99 or $2.99, and serve as fun offshoots for the main series books. They'll also give me an excuse to introduce entirely new characters, settings, and even more varied BE-related fun.
Aside from EF1, which is more than 5.5 times as long as EF1.5 and EF2, my future standalone releases won't really differ much in size, so I may ultimately converge on the $2.99 price point for all of them. I'd like to keep a couple of cheaper jumping-on points available early in the series for anyone that doesn't have or can't subscribe to KU, and EF1.5's $0.99 pricing definitely accomplishes that, so it's likely EF2.5 will be priced at $0.99 as well and then all solo releases after that will be at $2.99. The cheaper middle books are great for running promotions on, too, so keep an eye out for another giveaway of EF1.5 sometime soon. :)
I also increased EF1's price to $4.99, which is still a great value but doesn't distort my pricing spread nearly as much. As I muddled through my first few releases, I've started to realize that the odd split between my original book prices was likely creating confusion. It's important to me that there be cost-effective options for folks to sample my writing, full stop, but I also don't want such wild price swings that it becomes difficult to logically segment or differentiate my offerings. I'm still envisioning digital bundles of 3-4 books each and will likely do paperbacks of those as well, both of which should be my highest-priced offerings in the long-term, but I won't be ready for the first bundle until EF2.5 and EF3 are both out.
Beyond that, I hope you folks are still enjoying Marv's tit-growing adventures and the many stacked, curvaceous co-eds he's destined to meet. And fuck. And suck. There are plenty more heavy, overstuffed melons in his future, so gotta keep those boobies growing until then.
BEB, out: ( . )( . )
