Cornelia Quick

I woke up this morning to the quite exciting news that I’ve got five titles in the semi-finals for the “Golden Pigtail Smut Award”, plus I’m in the running for the coveted Rookie Smut Star award as well. It’s enough to make a girl blush to be listed among so many of my favorite writers (I see B.E. Wolf, Lacy Cross, Matt Lake, Hank Dolworth, Rose Richards, Kristin Lance … you can imagine the fangirl squeals!); being nominated is an honor, and I’d like to extend a huge thanks to the fans who put my name in the virtual hat! (Note that while I did suggest a few of my titles, I did in fact submit my own ballot with other authors’ works listed.)

And while a nomination is an honor, winning would be even more of one …

Over the next few days I’m going to highlight my works that are nominated. Meanwhile, here’s a quick overview to get you started. There’s a lot of dirty reading to do if you want to make an informed vote (which I know my readers will want to do). Voting is open from February 1 until February 14; watch for a link to the voting form when the polls open, and meanwhile take a moment to familiarize yourself with what will clearly be the runaway winners in all categories:

The “Levelled Up” Golden Pigtail Rookie Smut Star of 2023

I see a lot of great names on this list, including quite a few whom I’ve come to consider virtual friends, acquaintances, and respected peers. Really, you can’t go wrong checking out any of these writers’ work. But obviously, while I think they all write incredibly hot, dirty, smart, and funny stories, the clear choice in this category is “Cornelia Quick.” You can check out my stories to see why 2023 belongs to me …

Happy voting, and even happier reading!

But I can offer you free behind the scenes (and at worst NC-17) glimpses of how I crafted the stories, and insights into independent publishing that you may find useful in your own journey (if I can’t be an inspiration, then let me be a warning!).
