Bangarang

/ Ellington Redd / Leave a comment

Bangarang, book 3 of my Sister Queens Sorority series has just been published and is available on Smashwords. I’ve been eager to get the first four books out before taking a break on the series. All seven of the books have been written. It’s just a long arduous editing process that is still to be done, now. But so far, this editing has taken a whole year to do and I think I will take a break before completing the last three. In the meantime, I’ll write some more short stories and work on another novel that still needs research and a plot outline.

I’ve written a description for Bangarang already, but since you’re reading the blog, I wanted to go into a bit more depth. Book 1, The Benefactors deals with all the beginnings of a couple taking on a polyamorous lifestyle that they adopt after some experiences and adventures with wife-sharing, gangbanging, and lots of multi-partner sex where the wife explores her sexuality. However, it all takes place in Las Vegas, away from the water.

Book 2, The VeeJay Voyages finally takes our Poly Family out on the water in a big ass catamaran boat… a luxurious Sunreef 80 sailing yacht. Most of this story takes place in The Bahamas and South Pacific Islands. it’s the beginning of the end for our adventures couple as their marriage begins to take a turn for the worse when the wife begins to see her dreams take a separate direction from her husband’s.

And now, in Book 3, Bangarang, the adventure gets solidified with sailing adventures hosting a cast of new characters. Now the stage is set for the core family members comprised of our protagonist, his 3 girlfriends, his Captain and crew, AND new friends who join them on their around the world sailing quest. Umit and Steady sail aboard SV Reunion. Tiny and her husband follow along aboard SV Providence. And Yaya and Remy come into the storyline aboard their very own 50-foot Leopard Catamaran sailing yacht, SV Bangarang, and they become major characters throughout this series, as you will see.

So all three books tie together but represent different eras of this series. You also learn some interesting facts about Petite and how The Solomon Islands come to play a major role in the series. We gain some characters and lose some. We watch others grow. Sometimes I look at the entirety of this series and it plays out like a pornographic soap opera on the high seas.

Let me know what you think about the series and I’d like to read your comments about Bangarang. Book 4, The Sorority will be out soon. I already have the cover art for it!

Character Profile: “Kitty”, from The Benefactors

/ Ellington Redd / Leave a comment

Character Role: 

Kitty is first introduced in Chapter 9 of “The Benefactors“, Book 1 of the Sister Queens Sorority series. She is between 26 and 29 years of age. She is also known as The Manager. She is Peruvian-American and is the first girlfriend in a polyamorous relationship with the main character and his wife. She is very smart and educated. Has two twin boys from a failed marriage. 

She has thick jet-black wavy hair and she carries a little bubble-butt on wide hips which she’s always felt attracted black men. It tapers into a small waist but flared out again up top. Natural C’s with insanely puffy nipples. A skinny pear might actually be indicative of her shape being moderately more thick below than up top. She has a clitoris that is overly large. 34C-22-34

Background:

Daughter of a Peruvian university professor and an American tourist. She becomes pregnant with twins from her very first sexual encounter, however she was rejected immediately by her boyfriend. It was the father who gave him the ultimatum to marry or lose his inheritance in the family business. This just leads to an ever-growing resentment. After years of marriage, she finally files for divorce after she confronts her husband’s blatant infidelity and is awarded her share of the business she helped grow. She eventually meets the protagonist and his wife while working as a manager of the local erotic sex museum in Las Vegas where she is trying to learn about sex and discover her own sexuality.

Personality:

Kitty is a submissive at heart, but she also likes being a dom to VJ. She is totally devoted to My Love. Myers-Briggs Personality Test Assessment: Consul – ESFJ

Habits & Quirks:

Very nurturing to the main character. She has her hands on him anytime she is near him.

Conflicts:

Kitty struggles to understand her value in the household. She believes her marriage was destroyed because of her enlarged clitoris that her husband rejected, confusing it for a small penis, resulting in a depressive state of mind from body dysmorphia. She struggles with raising the twins and acquiesces to their father who maintains custody of them and trains them to get college football scholarships.

Author’s Take:

This is the first character that I felt would be the right choice to move my protagonist couple into the polyamory world. She fits well into their world as a submissive, relinquishing control of her life decisions but at the same time, discovering her sexual identity, overcoming her poor body self-image, and learning how to live in general. It’s a win-win-win situation for all three and gets even more interesting as the fourth member is subsequently added to the family. She probably goes through the most difficulties in character growth, but her longevity throughout the series reveals her weaknesses can be her strengths, too.

Newly Released: The VeeJay Voyages

The VeeJay Voyages,
an Erotic Adventure Novel
by Ellington Redd

Yes, it was time to let you see Book 2! I waited until I had a target download count for Book 1, The Benefactors, before releasing this title follow-up. The Benefactors takes place in Las Vegas. In The VeeJay Voyages, we get to the real crux of what this adventure series is all about, which is sailing.

This poly-fam purchases a new Sunreef 80 Catamaran and begin their adventure hiring a Skipper, a Deckhand, a Chef, and a Stewardess. All of these new characters become mainstays throughout the rest of the series, but in this volume they all learn to get along, grow, and survive harrowing adventures. More new and interesting characters are introduced as this family travel through The Bahamas, the Panama Canal, and into the South Pacific.

This is a drastic change from The Benefactors. We go from life on land to life at sea. However, the suspense, the sex, the drama, and the adventures get ramped up by a factor of 10. I think you’ll enjoy The VeeJay Voyages which is not as long as The Benefactors, but close. It’s still a meaty book to sink your teeth into and just as explicit, if not more.

Download your copy of my latest e-book, The VeeJay Voyages! I know you will enjoy it! And thank you for your support!

ABOUT ELLINGTON REDD

Ellington Redd is my pseudonym for my erotic art literature. I’ve been writing short stories for some time and now I’ve elected to publish them. Even though I majored in Business, I took Human Sexuality coursework during my undergrad (mainly sociology) and graduate (mainly psychology) years in college. I continued independent studies with numerous other organizations and of course I had my own personal discoveries and experiences.

I have always been intrigued with sex, not only what people do, but more importantly why they developed their own unique sexual habits, interests, and proclivities. My stories are a culmination and derivative of the many studies and personal experiences that have shaped my own life and sexuality. I hope you enjoy my work.

“The Benefactors”! It’s HERE!

I can say this has been a long time in the making. To finally have a finished product, available to the public… well, it’s amazing and humbling at the same time. I’m not going to take up a lot of your time or space on this blog going into how much I have enjoyed producing this piece of literature. I’m proud of it. I’ll say that.

Do us both a favor and check out my content. I’d love to hear back from you and see how you like it, what was wrong, what could be better… you know… that thing people call, Feedback. Give me your perspectives on this thing. If you love it, I want to know. If I could do better, I want to know even more. Book 2 will be out likely in January. I am polishing it up with edits and hope to format it soon for e-book consumption. I already have the cover art to it. Then it’s on to Book 3 to do the same thin. All 7 books are done. Just finishing touches and formatting are needed.

I hope you enjoy reading “The Benefactors” as much as I enjoyed writing and toiling over it.

“Academy of Sex: The Headmaster’s Pupils” involve two women who embark on a new academic adventure at The Gifted Academy of Ministerial Excellence, a referral-only private academy that focuses on one course of study… Sex! In this institution, you pass or fail. This story follows two enrollees. One excels and is advanced. The other is on the verge of dismissal and must endure a trial by fire performance evaluation to regain her academic standing.

“Criminal Acts” details the story of Harriet who never imagined a twist of fate that began with a trip to the bank and ends locked in an underground hideout with six men who have just robbed 3 banks… for Six Months! Essentially an unintended hostage, until she begins to fall for her two guardians who help keep things straight until they no longer can.

Click on the link and get these two books of erotic fiction. And then check out “The Benefactors” when it comes due on November 11th! What is it about? A married Las Vegas couple begins a polyamorous lifestyle that nourishes the seeds of love, adventure, and wealth, as they embark upon this new lifestyle. With the assistance of two older gentlemen admirers, they achieve new heights that were never before imagined. But nothing is ever so simple as everyone has their own demons that could derail it all. Be sure to look for it. Ask your local bookseller for it.

“The Benefactor!” Available in TWO Weeks!

Wow. It’s done. Book 1, “The Benefactor”, from my “The Sister Queens Sorority” series is now done and available for pre-order. November 11th is the release date! FOURTEEN days! Count them! Two years in the making… the first of SEVEN in this series and I’m quite proud of it.

This book definitely has some meat on it! 140K words. For perspective, that’s just over 400 pages in a Word document. So if you are looking for a good read… something you can sink your teeth into… I invite you to download it and get your fill. Let it take you through the holidays and be that escape that helps you through the flight, that fussy house downstairs with all your family who came for turkey and haven’t left yet! Trust me. The Benefactor hooks you right off the bat and it just keeps going… chapter after chapter, adventure after adventure.

The Benefactor is an erotic fiction told from the perspective of an autobiographical format. It’s not an erotic romance. You can say there is plenty of romancing in it, but there it’s also quite descriptive with several sexual encounters that are, shall we say, adventurous! This Las Vegas couple are reinventing their marriage by indulging in a polyamorous lifestyle, but it’s not without purpose and it’s deeper than just for appeasing sexual appetites. Everyone has a role to play and a mission to fulfill, but not without consequences as each character has their own demons to face and challenges to overcome.

He’s how it goes. A Veteran and his wife live in Las Vegas. They go on several sexual exploits throughout the beginning chapters until eventually, they introduce two other women into their home and the adventures continue. The couple have two benefactors who find the wife enchanting, often bestowing her with gifts. The tables eventually turn and it’s the benefactors who now need a favor and things get interesting. The Veteran is not without his financial expertise and a new business evolves which catapults everyone from Las Vegas to the high seas where they commission a boat, get a crew, and begin their around the world ventures in The Bahamas.

You don’t have to be a geographical expert to follow along on their sailing adventures, but you may be inspired to start planning your own travel endeavors. This new “family” sail on to Colombia, through the Panama Canal and all throughout the South Pacific, where it continues in the next book, “The VeeJay Voyages” coming out in January. There are plenty of great characters twisted together with a sophisticated plot. I hope you enjoy this piece of erotic literature.

You can find “The Benefactors” on Smashwords, Apple Books, or Barnes and Noble. You can’t buy it from Amazon yet, but you can download it (from Smashwords in the .mobi format) to your Kindle Reader… Paperwhite or Kindle Fire. Several formats are available so be sure to check your favorite bookseller for this title, available Nov. 11th!

“A Tale of Jesse” by Ellington Redd

I love what I do! And I finally completed this particular short story that took me a while to figure out the nuances of my character interactions. “A Tale of Jesse” is an erotic romance about Jesse, a small-town country girl from Iowa. She marries her high school sweetheart, who was the former star quarterback. Things don’t go well for her as she comes to term with how foul her husband is. He drinks too much and he’s a habitual non-remorseful cheater. He’s a bad dude. No respect for his wife. Things don’t end well for him, but he leaves a mess for Jesse to endure. She has the resolve to get her life on track again and after 16 years, she moves to Nashville, Tennessee to begin again.

This is the 6th short story published on Smashwords. I’m going to talk about the other books soon. Today, I’m doing final edits for Book 1 of my “Sister Queens Sorority” series, which is called “The Benefactors”. Seven books in all in this series. It’s my first novel and the original book was 800+ pages. This was supposed to be a trilogy but each book was like double size with Book 3 being tripled. Therefore I split them into 7 books, instead. Book 1 is about 125K words. I think that is a bit more manageable and I’m comfortable with this.

For now, check out “A Tale of Jesse“. If you hurry, you can still redeem a coupon for a free copy. I hope I get some good responses. I already have some ideas for Jesse’s Part II. S

See all my books, ==> HERE <==

Greetings…

The first Blog post is always interesting. I write erotic fiction, but I try to be a good writer no matter what genre I put to page.

Who is my target audience?

Women read more erotica than men, but I get the feeling you’ll quickly get a taste for my style or you won’t and that’s okay. Pleasing everyone is a fool’s errand. So, I aim to just write what I feel I can relate to and be convincing with. I have FIVE short stories out right now, using Smashwords, as my primary ePublisher, but they still distribute to another broad range of eBook retailers.

What got me into this?

Good question. I’ve always been writing something and I started writing poetry, then short stories. As a veteran, I began to write erotica to send back home to my wife whenever I was deployed for extended periods of time. I never really did anything with it. It was just for us. At most, I would contemplate writing for Penthouse Forum. I enjoyed reading those stories.

However, all that evolved into a novel I’ve been working on for the last two years. I travel like a backpacking tourist around the world. If I like a place, I’ll stay for extended periods of time… anywhere from 3 to 6 months usually. I photograph artistic nudes and landscape over my travels. But one summer in Nicaragua, something began in me that sat me down for a minimum of 8 hours every single day. I wrote 6 or 7 short stories and realized they all fit as back to back chapters, despite not being an intentional or conscious effort.

I followed it through to see where it took me. Two years later and roughly 2500 pages, I concluded it. An suitable analogy would be Forrest Gump deciding to one day go for a run. Then on the other side of the country he stops and decides that’s enough. The story poured out of me until the tap was depleted. My next problem was publishing. I had no desire to hunt for a publisher and pray for their goodwill to publish and motivation to promote me. I needed to get onto my next story! I chose Smashwords over Kindle Direct for reasons I believe were right for me.

What is next?

I’ll continue to write erotic fiction! It’s fun, so why not? I can learn the Smashwords system to better sell, but I feel good about it. In a month, I’ve had almost 300 readers on my short stories, but I want to really develop my style before putting out my erotic adventure series due out soon. SEVEN books! I’ll talk more about it in the coming weeks. It’s explicit, but damn it… I have excellent plot and character development. This is a story that happens to include all things sex.

So get ready. I hope you enjoy this ride with me. Follow along. Check out my Smashwords profile and check out my current books. I’ll talk about them soon as well.
