Publisher info

BITTEN FRUIT BOOKS - www.bittenfruitbooks.com

Bitten Fruit Books is a small, experimental venture that looks to help promote independent authors, by offering readers FREE short stories from them, and publishing them through our Delicious Morsels Range. Stories range from between 1000 and 20,000 words, and spans across all genres. BFB also publishes poetry, mind-body-spirit chapbooks, and para-fiction.

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 and dark fantasy romance, including paranormal erotic romance. Her writing's often quirky and fast-paced. She is also the author of The Witching Pen Novellas and A Silver Kiss (Vampire Poetry).

Until recently, she has also written erotic fiction as Erika Sorin and Elysa Summers (published here), but she has retired her pen names to more fully concentrate on her paranormal romances.

Satin Smoke Press is a self-publishing 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 all the Sherlock Holmes and James Bond books were) has been lost. We would love to be a part of its revival!

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.
