Apple / iBooks

I regret to inform my loyal, lurking readers that Apple has decided they will no longer carry the Marked by the Beast series.  They state the stories contain

Prohibited Explicit or Objectionable Content

by which they might mean overuse of the word "cock" or possibly "cunt" - but more probably they're viewing them as some veiled form of bestiality.  Which they're not.  All characters who engage in sex are human.

However I do put those caution notes on the stories for a reason.  The male characters in the Beast series are, well, beastly.  So while I think it should be the reader's choice... I respect Apple's decision.

However if you would like to read the series, and you use an Apple device, you can:

  • Download a free app for Kindle, Nook, or Kobo onto your device and purchase directly through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or the Kobo store.
  • Or if you prefer iBooks, just visit Smashwords on your reading device, and download the EPUB file - your device should give you the option to open immediately in iBooks.
For whatever reason, Apple has not ticketed the second story in the series, Seducing the Beast.  Perhaps the hero was less beastly?
