Consensual Infidelity is an honest memoir about one woman's experiment with swinging. Like all WorldMaker Media books, it brings readers into another world where ideas about fidelity, sexual taboos, and sexual experimentation are upended and challenged. The peek into this world is fascinating and voyeuristic and will provide every couple with an erotic spark whether they are into swinging or not.

We discovered the book on TheNextBigWriter.com where it had picked up a following and was selected as a semi-finalist in the site's Strongest Start Novel Award Competition.

Kaysee Smart is a mother, wife, and talented writer who decided that her own story was worth putting on paper, or computer screen.

For everyone reading, we are busy finding more great content on the Web and bringing it to you.

CapriceOver the winter, we released Caprice, the second book by Edward Aubry, author of Static Mayhem. Caprice was a top book on TheNextBigWriter.com and caught our attention because of the off-balance, keep-you-guessing storyline. The premise is unique. What happens if the person you have a crush on at the office suddenly give you a kiss? And what happens if that kiss makes you violently ill and puts you in the hospital? And what happens if the crush appears in the hospital, tells you she purposely gave you a toxic kiss, and that you must leave with her immediately or face harm? Danny Marx takes us into a world where nothing is at it seems and Caprice may just be his dream girl, or his worst nightmare.

Learn more and read the first chapter.
