The holiday gift shopping season is upon us.

Erotic audiobooks aren't an appropriate gift in most situations, but romance audiobooks have a wee bit more gift potential. 😂 It's easy to give audiobooks as gifts through Audible or Apple Books and they're handy for last minute gifts.

You can find mine here: https://adaraastin.ck.page/87de3a4c9f

If you're buying spicy audiobooks for someone in your life and you have any questions about my catalogue, let me know. 💋

This has been an extra rough week for a lot of people and that's saying something.

If listening to an audiobook would give you a little distraction and help you get through, pick out one of my titles, let me know if you need a US or UK Audible code, and I will give you a free copy, no questions asked.

I'm watching a show in which the mother advises her daughter not to ask a guy out because men don't like it if a girl is too forward. In our year of the plague 2023.

<ahem>

Women (who date men): Were you ever given this advice? Did you listen? How in your experience does it hold up?

Men (who date women): Have you ever been asked out by a woman? How did you react? Are you turned off if a "girl is to forward"?

I keenly await your replies.

I wonder if the whole thing will finally convince artists that modern regime was never meant to protect them.

It was meant to protect the middlemen. The Amazons, the Spotifies, the Sonys, the Disneys. The film studios, the publishing houses.

Now the middlemen figured out they own basically all of art, and that they can just train a computer on that, to replace artists with a piece of software.

And then stop paying artists even the pittance they were being paid so far.

Hey, Night Mastodon!

I'm going to bump my post about the audiobooks that are about to go offline. I'm about to lose out on five years of royalty sales so if you have ever thought you might like to buy one of them, please get them now while they are still available. I don't know how long they'll stay up, but based on past dealings with Apple Books & ACX, they will probably be gone forever within a week or so, maybe less.

Thanks for your support in these literally trying times. 💋

Last Chance for Hedon Press Audiobooks

One of the publishers I narrate for, Hedon Press, has run afoul of Amazon / Audible. I just learned that 11 audiobooks I narrated are being taken down. (Yes, it's rotten.) I'm in talks with Audible, more on that as I know more.

The audiobooks are for the moment still for sale through Apple Books. If you want them, get them FAST before they're gone for good.

The books are already coming down from Apple Books. I don't know how long it will take. I am only paid in royalties on these so I'm going to take a loss on 11 books, which hurts.

If you have any interest in any of these books, please buy them now, while you can. It's my last chance to make any money back on producing them. It would really help.

@audiobooks
@smutstodon

My other audiobooks are all still available, it's just Hedon Press's books that are being taken down.

I am losing a significant portion of my audiobook catalogue thanks to this fiasco, so if you'd like to buy any of my other books, you can find them all here: https://adaraastin.ck.page/87de3a4c9f

I have email and calls into the production arm of Audible (ACX.com). It's the weekend, everything's closed, I don't have good answers yet. I'm also wiped out, busy with my other job, and the timing is not superb.

I should have a better idea what's up, and how it potentially affects other people in the erotica community, in the next few days or so. I'll keep you all posted as I learn more -- not as spectacle, but as solidarity.

AdaraAstin,
@AdaraAstin@smutlandia.com avatar

I emailed and ultimately got on the phone last week with ACX.com and it turns out I can't speak directly to the department in charge of taking down the audiobooks, nor could anyone explain to me exactly what happened or why, but the customer service person I spoke to has submitted a request to review my case.

I don't think anything will come of it but I'm doing what I can.

Meanwhile, the Forbidden Hedon Press are still on Apple for now. Please buy them wile you can!

AdaraAstin,
@AdaraAstin@smutlandia.com avatar

I just received this email from ACX/Audible:

"The only information we can provide was the one added to the email sent in July 8, 2023. The titles were removed because they were been identified to be in violation; further details can't be provided for security purposes.

Please direct your concerns to the email address we sent in August 1, 2023.

I do not have any additional information to provide. This is the last word on the matter."

AdaraAstin,
@AdaraAstin@smutlandia.com avatar

  1. I signed contracts to narrate audiobooks to be paid in royalties for 7 years. I am now being paid nothing, with no termination fee.

  2. ACX/Audible will not specifically tell me why.

  3. ACX/Audible will not provide info on what steps I can take.

  4. They have given me the book author's email address in the hopes I guess that I ask them for a termination fee and with no leverage they just fork out a huge amount of money.

I just lost 1/3 + 5 years of royalties.

AdaraAstin,
@AdaraAstin@smutlandia.com avatar

I cannot in good faith recommend that anyone sign a contract through ACX to be paid in whole or in part in royalties because ACX/Audible is prepared to take down audiobooks without warning to narrators and leave us no recourse to be paid for our work.

I'm horrified that this is the outcome of my case. Please avoid this situation for yourselves.

"Backstage" is about the ultimate romance trope: two actors who pretend to fall in love on stage every night both need to get married quickly to solve eheir respective problems, so why not marry each other? They can pull it of as long as they don't really fall in love...

As someone who came up through theatre myself, I love a good actor romance. This one is really fun!

When @Smutty_Guy interviewed me about audiobooks, I wound up telling him a story about recording "Backstage", which was one of my funniest experiences yet as an audiobook narrator. The interview also includes a little bit more about me than I usually share on social media. 😉
