Hi! Thanks for the ask. I've mentioned it in some of my posts that things in life have been really rough this past year. It's put a big wrench in my writing time, so I'm working slowly through getting Kayla 3 done. Without going into a lot of detail, I'm caring for 2 elderly parents that require a lot of time, on top of general life and work. So having time to write has just been tough. Hoping to be back in action as soon as possible and get back to producing at the level I did before.

Thank you for the comment! I can assure you that I will not be adopting the ATR model. My focus will always be on larger stories with plenty of kinks and characters at the heart. I've always believed that character is the driving force of a good story, and I don't have any plans to change the formula. I'm not very good at short fiction either. I need to tell big stories. ATR is a huge supporter of my work, as I am of his. We share a lot of the same kinks and a similar style, but we have very different goals and directions. Our audience has a lot of crossover, so supporting one another by featuring our work on the other's site makes sense. It helps us both expand our audience and visibility, which is necessary to continue producing work. However, I Will always stick to writing what I love, which is weird characters and kinky fiction. I really appreciate any feedback, so I know what is and isn't working for readers. I may experiment along the way, but I don't feel like I diverge too far from my core style. If anyone feels otherwise, I'd love to know. Readers are what matter, and I want to write what I love, and what others enjoy, too. Thanks again for the comment and I hope you'll enjoy what's coming.

Thanks for the question! Kayla two in a publishing sense comes after Edge and Vicky's inheritance. In a linear sense, you can think of it happening concurrently with the events of The Second Place Sister. In the first Kayla book, Kayla mentions Tori was her lab partner before Tiffany, but she left school a few days ago and never came back. Tiffany and Kayla also meet a very smug and elated Stephanie Hamlin during their last week of school. If we look at things from purely a time perspective, it looks like this: • Vicky's inheritance takes place prior to every other story. It is something of a prequel. • Love, Lust, and Erin takes place just before the events of Korrupting Kayla, The Second Place Sister, and Doppelganger. • Doppelganger also takes place at the same as Second Place Sister, Kayla, and Edge • Edge is happening at the same time as Korrupting Kayla and The Second Place Sister. In the early chapters of Edge, it's noted that both Jenna and Kara are in the same class as Kayla, Stephanie, Tori, and Angela. They are all in the final week of school before graduating. I have a page that kind of breaks down the timeline here, though it's not been updated to include Kayla Two yet. At some point, I'll do a more detailed breakdown of how it all works, as I'm sure there are inconsistencies that I will have to retcon at some point.

Thanks for the comment! Marie will continue to have a role and her own transformation ARC, which will be used to show more of Kayla's growing cruelty toward other women. It was a hard thing to start pulling Kayla out of her submissive nature, as that was a big part of what made her fun to write in the first book. While she still retains some aspects of that, she did have to start taking on a more dominant and grown-up role to get to where she will eventually need to be at the conclusion of the series. In some ways, Kayla is the ultimate change arc. Shy, innocent, submissive, and kind at the beginning. She's sweet and likeable. However, after being taken advantage of by almost everyone around her, and constantly pushed to be sluttier, meaner, and to view herself and other women as inferior, she loses a lot of those qualities and becomes villainous.

Absolutely. I'm in the process of giving the site a makeover to make it easier for folks to find the right kinks.

Hello. The original profile was created by Goodreads when Second Place Sister was originally published years ago. I've actually requested the old profile be merged or removed, but with no response after a couple years I gave up.

She won't be getting a dedicated story, but book 3 will have much more content around Tiffany's transformation and the choices she'll be forced to make, in order to prevail against her remaining rival.

Thanks a lot for the comments and feedback. Kayla was always intended to become a villain at some point. I wanted to explore the good girl gone bad aspect in a way that would carry over multiple stories. I'm really happy you guys enjoyed this aspect. I'm looking forward to pushing her down a darker road. Tiffany's story, too, is something that I've been wanting to write. I actually did this kind of with the Suck Pet origin story, but I feel like there's a lot of potential to expand on that. Given what the company is doing, there will be more chances for that to happen. The rest of Tiffany's time at indoctrination is going to be pretty wild, too. Hard choices for poor Tiffany. Without giving too much away, you're on the right track with both DomCo both failing and winning. Weird, bald Stephanie might have something to do with both 🙂

Since I'm going to start publishing some of the back catalog, including that book over the coming months, I'll probably do a post with all the illustrations in the near future.

Unfortunately, I had to take it down from sale. It's explained in the January roadmap. Basically, the payment processing companies threatened to no longer accept payments if explicit graphics were included. Dirty words are ok, but adding dirty pictures makes it pornography. Until giant corporations change their attitude toward adult creators, those are the breaks.

It's from when it was introduced. I did go back and credit 25 points to all previous orders. Unfortunately the backend process requires doing it one at a time, so it took days to hit everyone. If I somehow missed your account, just drop me an email and I'll have it taken care of. Hamlin@erotikinks.com

Thank you for the question. It's not really my thing. I tend more toward women being turned slutty in my stories, with men or other women doing the corrupting. I don't rule anything out, but it's just not my thing. Probably the closest I'll come is something like The Virgin and the Slut.

Thanks for letting me know. That issue has been fixed in the updated download, but users who purchased prior to December might be missing the bonus story. I'll have the files delivered to you right away.

I appreciate the comment and it's a mistake that I learned from when writing and editing the book. I will never do naming like that again! It seemed right at the time. I had the same issue writing Tempting Trevor and then doing The Cottage right after. I'd just written Stacy a zillion times for TT, and then named the next character Tracy. Ugh. Sometimes, having a brain that really likes alliteration is a chore.

I really appreciate the feedback and comment. Since this is the story that started my publishing, it's got a really special place in my dark heart. Obviously, since I publish under Tori's name. It will be nice to go back to those characters again and conclude the DomCo series in 2023. I just hope I can do it justice. I feel like I've come a long way with my writing since then. Fingers crossed.

Once all the episodes are complete, I do plan to release a complete version on the shop, as well as Smashwords. I'll be looking to wrap that series up, along with some of the others like Holes and Reluctant suckslut early next year. The main focus is getting the second Korrupting Kayla novel finished, which is going to be a big book.

I really apologize that the edition in the box set got overlooked, and it's being corrected. If anyone did experience this issue, just contact me and I'll be happy to get you an updated edition.

There are some holiday sales coming up. I'm hoping to time them with the release of Bad Influencer. Thanks for the question!

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to open up the discussion. While I do, absolutely, appreciate diversity in all its forms, I try to stay away from topics that concern race or religion in most of my writing. In my solitary opinion, I believe that sexual kinks, like the ones I explore in my writing are something that we all share as humans. Regardless of the (ridiculous) social labels we put on one another, exploring our sexuality and all the myriad ways it manifests itself, and the way we all choose to embrace or express it, it's those sexy things that we all have in common. I'm not against exploring other cultures or races in my stories, but above all I want to write things that don't cause division, and I aim to treat people of any race, creed or nationality with the respect that everyone deserves. Therefore, I don't want to write characters that might have a cultural or racial background that I might, accidentally, portay in some unflattering light or unintentionally disrespect someone else through my own ignorance. I hope that is a satisfying answer. I'm sure there's a much larger conversation to be had around this topic, but that's probably something best left to a better forum than this one. I sincerely appreciate having you as a reader and value yours, and everyone's, support of my work, as well as the feedback you provide. It means a lot to be able to share the silly worlds I create with people and to hear about the ways they touch you, whether that's by arousing you or inducing some other feeling. Thank you again. -Hamlin
