How the SexWitch Got Her Groove Back

I did.  I finally found my "groove" again.  Yay!
 
I realized yesterday I'm totally in love with my life.  It still needs major tweaking cause I'm working too damn hard.  But I'm in love with it all the same.
 
I love my readers/fans.  I love my career.  The exagent mess from 2010 is fixed, and things are going great again.  I'm even taking weekends slower and relaxing more.  Shocking news, I know.  Well, I still work on Saturdays and Sundays but not at the hectic, hamster-wheel pace of my weekdays.
 
I absolutely LOVE my love life again!  My hunky Fey guy (my second ex) and I are doing really well this time.  He's the sweetest, most wonderful, passionate man.  He's everything I could ever want in a man...and more.  Really.
 
Sex in the Fey realm with him is AWESOME.  In fact he surprised me last night with a treat.  He brought in 3 of his tantra buddies to "play" with us.  Yeah, he gave me 4 men last night.  WOW.  This SexWitch is definitely in love again with this incredible man.  *swoon*
 
Know what all this means?  It means you don't have to worry about me anymore, my fab readers/fans.  It's been a helluva stressful 18 months for my career and my personal life, but I'm finally doing really well.  You can all breathe a sigh of relief now.  No kidding.  ;)
 
Part of my happiness is due to a big change I had to make.  You all know about the trouble I've had with Facebook for the last month.  I've blogged a little about it here.  Basically, it's been 4 weeks of insanity for me, starting with FB locking me out because I receive too much fan mail in the form of PMs at my personal page. 
 
So I had to move to my fan page, where I have no PM privileges and no friend invite privileges.  Then FB spent 7 days making changes to the fan pages that kept many of us from posting unless we went back to our personal page accounts. 
 
Huh? 
 
After 4 weeks of this insanity I said "Fuck this shit!" and began spending most of my time at Google Plus.  And guess what?  I discovered something: I absolutely ADORE Google+.  It's like nirvana for me.  Who knew?  *lol*
 
I've been a member since the first week of August when Google+ was only 3 weeks old.  I've always liked it, and I adore the app for my iphone.  But since I've been hanging out there during this FB mess I've become a huge fan of the site.
 
Hey, you know me.  I don't give a shit about trends or what's cool or following the crowd.  I only hang out at the big social media sites that allow me to be my chatty, lusty self and network with my readers/fans the way I want to.  Twitter allows me to do that, which is one reason you can always find me there.
 
Turns out Google+ allows me to do that, too.
 
So that's what this blog post is about.  I'm not hanging out at FB all day and night like I used to.  Now I'm at Google+. 
 
If you're not familiar with it, Google+ is a lot like FB used to be before FB got so techy and complicated.  In fact, I think Google+ is better than FB ever was. 
 
Privacy is a big deal at Google+.  You have to put the people you friend into "circles" which are just lists.  Then every time you post something you choose which lists can see your post.  There is no word limit on status updates.  I love that because it means I can say more to you.  I can also network with my readers/fans one-on-one like I used to at FB before they started slamming me.  Best of all there aren't a bunch of apps and games to clutter up your wall.
 
Alrightyyyy!  *happy dance*
 
If you're not at Google+, dash over there now and add me to your circles.  It went public last week, so you no longer need an invite to get in.
 
 
How good is Google+?  Well, besides me being there all the time now (lol), it was launched as a test in July by invitation only.  It just went public, and there are already 50 million members, and lots of Pagans.  No, I'm not kidding.  The site is that good.
 
So come see me at Google+, and we'll talk like we used to at FB.
 
You'll love it.  I promise!

The Life of a Sexual Sorceress

BIG NEWS: My second ex is back in my life as of last Monday, which means I can no longer call him an ex.  Yum! 
 
What he told me is he couldn't stop loving me.  Even though he tried.  And he couldn't get me out of his heart and head.  Even though he tried.  So he's decided to give up the struggle and go with it. 
 
Yay!  Color me delightfully shocked. 
 
But everything that's happened in my life since last Monday (the Harvest Moon Esbat) has been shocking and a harvest of one kind or another. 
 
All I can say is: "Harvest, come to me, darlin, it's been a helluva year....!"
 
Okay, back to my love life.  This means he and I are exploring our relationship again and making major whoopee in the Fey realm at night. *lick, lick*
 
As I've explained to all my best girlfriends....um....I just can't help myself.  The man is an Ancient and the best lover I've ever had in the Fey realm.  And he's full Fey, which means he's GORGEOUS!  Let me tell you right now this Otherkin Fey chick swoons over a full Fey man.  Especially this one.  Especially since he's one of my Fey mates. 
 
In the Earth realm he's taught tantra and tantric yoga for decades.  What he can do with is fingers, lips, tongue, and cock is wicked hot.  And this SexWitch is totally addicted to sex with this very sweet, wonderful man.  Yeah, I'm crazy about him again and totally luuuuuuuust for him 24/7.  
 
Believe it or not, all this drooling is leading into the subject of this blog post.  Really, it is. 
 
In "Call of the Witches" I made Maylene a sorceress.  This she knows.  But what she doesn't know is that she's also a sexual sorceress.  
 
Lots of you have asked me about the hours of incredible sex I have in the Fey realm every night.  Okay, here's an example of how real it feels in my Earth realm body.  
 
Sit back and enjoy this sexual sorcery scene from "Call of the Witches," a sizzling erotic romance novel.  Now you know what the SexWitch is doing every night when she flies into the Fey realm.  *lusty wink*
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
(an excerpt from "Call of the Witches: Book Three of the Witchery Series")
 
CHAPTER 14: Pillow Talk
 
Laura Stamps (c) 2008
 
 
That night as she turns out the light in the bathroom and crawls under the quilt on her bed, Maylene’s thoughts stray to Blaine and their late lunch.
 
Blaine insisted she keep all the food left over from their picnic on the porch, which consisted of several sandwiches and half the melon balls.  She couldn’t refuse, knowing how much he enjoys cooking for his friends and giving away the harvest from his garden.  After he left she put everything in the refrigerator and washed the plastic containers to return to him later.
 
Apollo meows loudly, jumping up on the bed to nestle in his favorite spot against her feet.  He immediately begins to groom himself, bumping his head against her foot as he washes his belly. 
 
She giggles, thinking if Blaine had allowed himself to come inside she could have washed his plastic containers and given them back to him before he left.  On the other hand, he probably wouldn’t have left.  Looks like she’s not the only one struggling with this crazy sexual attraction they have for one another.
 
Maylene sighs, thinking the last few months of her celibacy vow are going to feel longer than the first twenty-two.  Good thing she didn’t meet this sexy Green Witch last year.  She never would have remained celibate. 
 
Instead Blaine politely declined her second invitation to come in, choosing to remain out on the porch where it was safer for both of them.  He said he would pick up the containers the next time they see each other, whenever that might be.
 
“What a sweet guy,” she murmurs, reaching over to turn off the lamp on the nightstand.  The bedroom is plunged into darkness, and she pulls the quilt up over her shoulders, wiggling deeper beneath the sheet.
 
“We have so much in common,” she whispers, yawning as she thinks about how they both grew up in alcoholic families, they’re both Wiccans, and they’ve both had to work hard to overcome crippling emotional issues like co-dependency.  “Noelle was right.  For the first time in my life I’m attracted to a good, decent guy who has no obvious problems.  That is an improvement.”
 
Maylene yawns again, while Apollo rolls over, dragging himself up to curl behind her back.  After a few minutes she drifts into a deep, relaxing sleep.
 
*     *     * 
 
Later, a stroking sensation on her back awakens her.  “Stop washing yourself, Apollo,” she scolds sleepily, thinking the tabby must be bumping her again as he grooms his coat.  “You woke me up.”
 
Moving away from him, she opens her eyes for a moment, noticing the room is no longer completely dark.  Now a soft glow from the lamp on the nightstand tosses long shadows across the room.
 
“I thought I turned that light off,” she mumbles, rolling over to check the lamp and glance at the clock to see how long she’s been asleep.
 
“Eek!  What are you doing in my bed?” she shrieks.
 
"Sweetheart, you called me here,” Blaine replies, lying next to her, his hair loosely fanned across the pillow and spilling over his shoulders.
 
“I did not!” Maylene protests, rising up on her elbow to glare at him, until she realizes she is no longer wearing a nightgown or panties.  She quickly collapses and pulls the sheet up to her neck. “Yikes!”
 
Blaine chuckles.  “Relax, Maylene, this is just a dream.” 
 
He reaches over and rubs her arm, trying to calm her.  With Apollo nowhere in sight she knows it must have been Blaine who woke her, stroking her back.
 
“What are you doing in one of my dreams again?” Maylene asks, trying to sound irritated, even though her arm tingles delightfully wherever he touches it.  When her eyes rest on the soft hair curling across his chest and the sheet draped over his hips, she realizes he isn’t wearing anything either, and her breath catches.
 
“Making love to you,” Blaine responds, dipping his head to brush his lips lightly across hers.   
 
“We can’t make love, because I’m not in love,” she murmurs, enjoying the tenderness of his lips.
 
“Maybe you’re not, sweetheart.  But I am.”
 
“You can’t be…” she protests.
 
“Shh,” Blaine responds, teasing her lips with his tongue.
 
“Are you sure this is a dream?” she asks, hoping it’s true.  Heat pours off of him, warming the sheets and whirling her hormones into a frenzy.
 
“Positive.”
 
Maylene sighs with relief.  “Okay, if this is a dream then I intend to enjoy myself,” she whispers, throwing caution to the wind and nuzzling his neck, inhaling his earthy scent, that strangely wonderful fragrance that always clings to him.  “No harm in that, right?”
 
“Absolutely.”  Blaine lifts her face, weaving his hands through her long scarlet hair as he plunges his tongue into her mouth, kissing her thoroughly.
 
Maylene’s hands slide around his neck.  “I’ve wanted you so badly, Blaine,” she confesses against his lips, pressing her body to his, feeling the lean muscles of his chest crushing her breasts, his growing erection teasing her stomach.  “It’s really been difficult.”
 
“I know, sweetheart.”  Blaine throws back the covers and gathers her breasts in his hands.  “It’s been tough for me, too.”  Scooting down, he breathes lightly over each one, his warm breath sending erotic tremors straight to her sex.
 
Maylene whimpers and arches her back, moaning with pleasure, while he flicks his tongue around the hard buds of each nipple, nipping and teasing.  Slowly he takes one breast into his mouth, suckling it deeply before turning his attention to the other. 
 
Writhing, Maylene pants like a cat, unable to think clearly, her thighs damp with her own juices.  Sex with her other boyfriends was never like this.  Usually it was fast, familiar, and over before she realized it.  But this sensual Green Witch obviously likes to take his time, and the effect on her libido is maddening.  She craves a certain part of his body so intensely she can hardly breathe. 
 
Blaine pulls back, licking his lips.  “You have beautiful breasts, Maylene,” he whispers gruffly.  “Why do you hide them under baggy t-shirts?”
 
“Because I think they’re too big,” Maylene whispers, barely able to speak as he slowly drags his thumbs back and forth across her taut nipples.  “I’m a short person with a short waist, and they make me look top-heavy.  I look much better if I hide them.”
 
“Hmm, I disagree.”  Blaine dips his head and plants hot kisses between her swollen breasts.  “I want to devour you,” he breathes, winking at her.
 
Moisture dribbles down Maylene’s thighs when Blaine leaves her breasts, kisses a line across her flat stomach, and playfully nips her hipbones.  Her clit throbs desperately from the fire blazing between her legs, and all she can think about is wrapping her fingers around his long, silky shaft. 
 
Blaine moves off the bed, gently pulling her with him toward the end of the mattress.  He pushes her knees up and apart, and bends over, flicking his tongue along the inside of her thigh.  But before he can move any further, she sits up, reaches down, and cups the weight of him, forcing him to straighten up.
 
“Oh,” Blaine says, sucking in his breath sharply. 
 
Maylene smiles as she gently runs her short nails across his balls, pulling him closer.  She slides both hands down the sides of his delectable cock, loving the look of his thick, rosy shaft, thinking it’s one of the most gorgeous sights she’s ever seen.  It jerks in her hands from the attention, and she bends down to rub her cheeks against its soft skin. 
 
“Not before I devour you first,” she purrs, grinning wickedly, while looking up at him. 
 
Giving Blaine no time to protest, she kisses the shiny, helmet-shaped head, savoring its sweet, salty taste.  Another glistening drop rolls out of its tip, and she runs her finger through it.  Slipping her finger into her mouth, she licks her lips and then kisses his flat stomach when he groans.
 
“You’re driving me crazy, sweetheart,” he breathes, his hands gripping her shoulders, tremors shaking his legs.
 
“Good.”  She runs her tongue up the sensitive skin beneath his shaft and then covers the head with her lips, slowly taking all of his meaty thickness into her mouth.
 
Blaine cries out and knots his fingers in her hair as she sucks him slowly, up and down, tickling his sweet spot with her tongue.  His hips rock toward her, and she slips her hand between his legs, cupping him again, squeezing gently.
 
“Dear Goddess!” Blaine shouts and pulls back.  “Maylene, you’ve got to stop.  I’ll never last.” 
 
Maylene releases his succulent cock and lets it pop out of her mouth, giggling as she falls back on the bed.
 
“You’re such tease, sweetheart,” Blaine says, breathing raggedly.
 
“No, I’m not.”  Grinning, she narrows her eyes, looking directly at his rigid shaft.  “It’s not my fault you’re too delicious to resist.”
 
Blaine shivers under her intent gaze and shakes his head.  “You’re full of surprises tonight.” 
 
“So are you,” she purrs, realizing she never grows weary of looking at him.  His long, honey-brown hair lies tousled across his shoulders.  He stands at the foot of the bed, his sinewy muscles lean and tanned.  A sexy grin curls his lips while he watches her devour his body with her eyes.
 
“You have no idea.”  Blaine winks at her and kneels at the end of the bed, his erection bobbing.  He pushes her knees up and back again.  “Now it’s my turn.”
 
Blaine leans forward and kisses her tenderly on the inside of each thigh before parting the short scarlet curls covering her mound. 
 
“You’re so wet,” he whispers, blowing on her sex, his hot breath shaking her with a tremor of anticipation.  He parts her tender folds with his thumbs and begins to tease her with long, slow licks.
 
Maylene cries out and clutches the sheets, when he slips his tongue into her channel, while rolling her swollen clit between his finger and thumb.  It feels as if butterfly wings are stroking her in sweet spots she didn’t even know existed.  He whirls her so fast toward a hard climax that she screams when it slams into her with spasms of intense pleasure. 
 
Blaine straightens up and lifts her hips to his waist, entering her quickly, groaning with delight as he thrusts forward.
 
“Ah, this is good,” he murmurs, pumping with slow, steady strokes while he holds her hips up, the muscles in his arms and legs forming tight bands.
 
Maylene gasps at the sensation of him filling her when she’s still convulsing from her first orgasm.  She wraps her legs around his waist, watching as he holds her hips above the bed, thrusting into her, prolonging her release.
 
“Yes,” she hums, panting as she feels the tingle of another orgasm approaching.  “Faster.”
 
Blaine bends over and captures her mouth, his tongue stroking hers, while he continues to thrust leisurely.
 
“No!” Maylene exclaims when he straightens up and pulls out, lowering her hips to the bed.  “Stay in me,” she pleads.
 
Blaine chuckles and bends over.  “Patience, sweetheart,” he murmurs, kissing her hungrily.  She wraps her arms around his neck and holds him to her for a moment, her tongue dancing passionately with his.
 
Giving her one last kiss, he slips out of her embrace, reaches across the bed, and grabs a pillow.  Turning her over, he positions the pillow under her stomach and then lifts her hips, parting her legs with his thighs. 
 
When he bends over and enters her again she shrieks at the enhanced sensation of him filling her deeply, rhythmically stroking the tiny pleasure point at the front of her channel.
 
“You have such beautiful hair, Maylene,” Blaine whispers, bending over her, nuzzling the damp strands of long scarlet hair draped across the nape of her neck. 
 
He balances on one hand to keep most of his weight off her, while his other hand travels over her stomach and down to her mound, massaging her clit as he slowly fills her again and again.  His hair slides over her back like strands of silk, tormenting her skin with yet another sensual sensation. 
 
“Oh, this feels so good,” she moans, his deep thrusts and talented fingers spinning her toward heights of ecstasy she’s never experienced before.  She swallows, her throat dry from excessive panting and pleasure, thinking this Green Witch obviously knows what he’s doing.
 
“Faster,” she pleads, caught up in a sudden wave of need so sharp her hips begin to buck against him.  “Harder.” 
 
Blaine picks up his pace and slams into her sex, his thrusts twice as strong.  She can hear him breathing raggedly over her shoulder, making the kind of sounds that tell her he is about to finish, too.
 
Maylene shrieks at the force of the next orgasm.  Her body shudders under its release, as ripples of blinding pleasure reduce her to a liquid, placid state.  Her pulsing sheath grips Blaine like a fist, clasping and squeezing, throwing him over the edge as well.
 
“Dear Goddess!” he groans, his teeth clenched while he spasms, spilling into her. 
 
He wraps his arms around Maylene’s waist, hugging her to him and rolling over on the bed.  Slick with sweat, they lay spooned together, breathing heavily, his shaft still pulsing inside her, his seed seeping down the inside of her thighs.
 
A few minutes later, Maylene stretches, wiggling against Blaine’s chest.  “I’m exhausted,” she announces weakly, reaching back to tangle her fingers in his hair. 
 
Blaine laughs and nuzzles her cheek, moving one hand up her silky stomach to cup her breast.
 
“You’re the most erotic man I’ve ever known,” she purrs, deeply satisfied. 
 
“Thank you, ma’am,” he whispers, nibbling her ear.
 
“And the most polite.”  Maylene snuggles into the crook of his neck.  “Where did you learn how to do that?”
 
“Do what?”
 
“You know.  All of that.”  She waves her hand in the air, referring to his sexual technique.  “You were amazing.”
 
He chuckles.  “I was married once, remember?”
 
“Lucky woman,” Maylene purrs, closing her eyes and slipping into a tunnel of comforting darkness.
 
*     *     *
 
She awakens with a start. 
 
Her bedroom is dark, no lamplight casting shadows, and she hears Apollo snoring softly, sleeping on the pillow next to hers.  As her eyes adjust to the murky room she can see the sheets are tangled around her.  A delicious soreness throbs between her moist, sticky thighs.
 
“Oh, no,” she exclaims, clawing damp hair away from her flushed cheeks when she remembers what she did with Blaine in this second dream.
 
“Dear, Artemis!  What’s happening to me?”

Boinking Hunky Vamps & Otherkin. Yum!

Get ready! This blog post packed with all kinds of yummy news. *wink*

First, I'm happy to announce I'm returning to my regular editing schedule this week. Remember how it was when I edited "A Vampire's Kiss" in the spring? I disappeared from the web for 5-6 hours on Mon/Wed/Fri to edit.

Well, I'll be starting that schedule again on Wednesday to get this awesomely HAWT new vamp novella finished and published, hopefully by the end of the year. BTW, you're gonna love "A Vampire's Desire." I can't tell you how pleased I am with the first draft. Troy is unlike any hero I have ever created. Really. If I had to describe him in one word it would be "commanding." *sex-obsessed wink*

Now for more awesome news. Guess what? Alex found the perfect domain for my new website, and I bought it last week. I should know more in December. Then Alex can begin designing it in 2012. That means the SexWitch will finally have a permanent site for her books again.

Yay!

Long story short, last August I left the website my exagent built for me in 2009 (he still owns it). I've been in transition ever since, using the Blogger site as a temporary home for all the info about my books. Alex and I have been trying to find a place for my Laura Stamps website where censors won't constantly be nipping at my cute little ass. She found it this month, and I snapped it up last week.

Yay!

In other news, as you all know from my blog post last week, I moved from my personal page at Facebook to my "Laura Stamps" fan page. Then I announced I would make my personal page private on September 15th.

However, since I wanna begin editing the novella on Wednesday I've decided my personal page will become private as soon as this blog post goes live tonight. I love the symbolism of doing it during the Harvest Moon Esbat, don't you?

So if you you're at FB and you haven't "Liked" my fan page yet, dash over there and do it now:


After almost two weeks of hanging out at my fan page I've gotta say I really like it. My plan is for the wall of my fan page to be just as active as the wall of my personal page used to be. So far the stats on it are going through the roof. Good news for sure. And we're already having a blast over there, which makes me a very happy Fey chick.

One side effect of this Facebook move is that I've had more time to hang out at Google Plus. It's much like Facebook, except there are no games or apps. Just really good conversation running through my timeline every day. I like it a lot, can you tell? *grin*

Some people say G+ will eclipse Facebook in the same way Facebook eclipsed MySpace. I dunno. But I adore all the fab Pagans and fans of my novels I've met there. If you're at Google Plus add me to one or more of your circles:


Finally, I wanna wish everyone a happy Harvest Moon Esbat. Mine started with an awesome ritual after midnight last night. And ended with a bang. Literally.

Okay, I have a new lover in the Fey realm, a hunky Otherkin Vulture. Oh, my. The man is as insatiable and energetic as I am, not to mention he navigates those realms so easily he comes and gets me in the Earth realm before I can even fly into the Fey realm. Wow! Gotta love a man who is that impatient to fuck the SexWitch, ya know?

*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....*

In fact, he just texted and said he has some "new tricks" to show me tonight. Oh, my.

*more purrrrrrrrrrrring....*

Happy Harvest Moon Esbat, everyone!

The SexWitch vs. Facebook. Yikes!

If you're at Facebook you probably heard what I went through there last week. Yeesh!

All I can say is when the Goddess gives me a sign, sometimes it's subtle. Other times she climbs into a cosmic dump truck and flattens my cute little ass. Yikes! And that's exactly what happened to me at Facebook last week. Twice.

Tuesday evening after my weekly blog post went live I posted about it on FB, like I always do. Then I worked through my notifications and accepted a bunch of friend invites. Like I always do.

Then I tackled new messages (PMs) in my inbox. Like I always do. But the minute I answered and sent the first one....BAM!....I was locked out of FB.

Huh?

A message popped up from FB, saying they had locked my account for my safety. Huh? Basically, they locked me out of FB, both my personal page and my "Laura Stamps" fan page. They said my account had been hacked.

Really?

I spent the next few hours jumping through hoops, trying to prove I am indeed the infamous Laura Stamps. *lol* They gave me a list of stuff I could submit as proof. At the top of the list was anything with a pic ID, like my drivers license. At the bottom of the list was a recent bank statement or credit card statement.

Are you fucking kidding me? No way would I ever send FB some of that stuff. Yeesh!

Alex saved the day by telling me to take a pic of my drivers license with my cell phone, email it to her, and she would photoshop it. She blocked out all my important numbers so only the info FB required was showing. Then I gave it to FB. They said they would review it and get back to me.

In the meantime, one of my best friends (Candy) posted on my personal page, telling my fans I wasn't ignoring them by not responding to their comments to my posts. FB had locked me out, and I was trying to get back in ASAP.

I didn't hear from FB again until Wednesday afternoon. When I did, I filled out all kinds of security stuff, changed my password several times, answered lots of questions, you name it. Finally they unlocked my account, and I got back in.

Whew!

The first thing I did was post on my personal page, letting my fans know I'm back. Then I began working through the mountain of notifications that had piled up while I was locked out. What can I say? My page is very busy. After that I okayed a bunch of new friend invites and started on my mail again. I answered and sent the first PM, and....BAM!....I'm locked out again.

Holy fucking shit!! WTH is going on here?

This time I knew the drill when I got the "You've been hacked" message from FB. I sent them my doctored driver's license, jumped through their hoops, and emailed Alex.

She told me to send her a copy of the PMs that I had sent each time I was locked out and then call her. I did. Turns out there wasn't anything in them she felt would get me locked out. They were just responses to fans. No cursing. No X-rated stuff. Nada.

Finally, as we went through the process of elimination we solved the mystery. The day I was locked out I had gone over 2000 friends cause I receive a bunch of friend invites every day. I also get a ton of fan mail at FB in the form of PMs. I've been there since 2009 and thousands of PMs have gone in and out of my inbox during that time.

Alex told me the personal pages at FB are not designed for the kind of activity I get. "Face it, Laura," she said. "You're a celebrity with celebrity traffic. You need to switch to your fan page."

Okay, fine. I know this. ;)

Alex set up my fan page for me in 2009. We've always done it like this: I only post book biz stuff on my fan page. But I post both biz and personal stuff on my personal page.

However, FB changed the rules for fan pages a few months ago (making them easier for us to work with), and Alex has been after me to make the switch ever since.

While we were having our powwow on the phone, she posted for me on my personal page, telling people I had been locked out. Again. But I would respond to their comments on my page as soon as FB let me back in.

Surprisingly, FB got back to me in three hours rather than 24 hours. I think they realized they'd fucked up, and I hadn't been hacked after all. FB was very helpful and cooperative, and I got back in Wednesday night.

This time the first thing I did was dash to my fan page and make sure everything was cool with it. Then I went to my personal page and posted an announcement, telling all my fans I'm moving to my fan page ASAP! *lol*

I mean, enough is enough, ya know? I'd been flattened by a cosmic dump truck twice in 27 hours. Sometimes I'm slow, but I eventually get the message. This one was flashing at me in NEON. No way I could miss it now. lmao!!

So if you're one of my fans/readers/friends at FB, I'm announcing today I'm no longer chatting on my personal page.

All my wild, lusty conversation about my books and day-to-day life has move to my "Laura Stamps" fan page. If you haven't "Liked" my fan page yet, run over there now and do it. That way my crazy updates and comments won't disappear forever from your homepage timeline.

And on September 15, my personal page at FB will go private, since it's no longer one I use.

In the meantime, I'm really excited about the fab plans Alex has for my fan page. She's designing an awesome landing page for it. She's also gonna make it possible for you to buy my sexy ebooks in Kindle and pdf directly from my fan page. How cool is that? And this blog already runs in its entirety through an RSS feed in the "Notes" section of my fan page.

But let me warn you. There are a few things I can no longer do with a FB fan page.

For example, there is no message system with it, so I can't receive PMs from you at that page. And we all know I can't answer PMs at my old personal page cause I'll get locked out again. Eeek!

However, Alex came up with a brilliant solution to this PM dilemma. If you wanna send me a message just tweet me at Twitter. Twitter is a very simple, GIGANTIC message system with tweets everyone can see, and DMs (direct messages) no one can see. So you have two options for messaging the SexWitch at Twitter.


Alex is also searching for a widget that will allow my Twitter feed to run on my FB fan page so you can see all the wild and crazy conversations I have there.

Totally cool!

What a week, huh? FB slammed the SexWitch twice. OUCH! But thanks to Alex I survived, and now I'm flourishing in all my lusty wickedness at my fan page.

Come see me and join in the fun!!
