Publisher info

BITTEN FRUIT BOOKS - www.bittenfruitbooks.com

Independent publishing & book promotion.

SATIN SMOKE PRESS - www.satinsmoke.com

Satin Smoke is an independent small press and sole proprietorship, only publishing the works of indie author, Dianna Hardy.

Dianna writes paranormal (often erotic) romance, and urban / dark fantasy. Her writing's often quirky, fast-paced and edgy ... she likes to break the rules.

As an imprint, Satin Smoke Press is a venture focusing on both eBooks and paperbacks, including novelettes and novellas - book lengths which were very popular in the 60s and 70s. The art of writing short stories and novellas (as most of the Sherlock Holmes and James Bond books were) has been lost. We would love to be a part of its revival!

(Satin Smoke Press is an imprint of Bitten Fruit Books.)

Smashwords book reviews by Bitten Fruit Books / Satin Smoke Press

  • Hannah's Choice (An Erotic /Erotica Short) on Dec. 23, 2010
    star star star star
    Maybe there's been a different upload since the reviews below, but I've just downloaded it and there aren't that many ads. Yes, a few pages towards the back talks about the author's work, but you also get a free excerpt of another book. This is a great little hot story with easy to read dialogue - a simple scenario that's well written and erotically juicy in all the right places.
