My writing career is mostly on hold for the nonce because I am too busy operating Wordwooze Publishing. Wordwooze publishes in genres ranging from mystery/thriller, western and self-help to erotica, romance and vintage science fiction in ebook, audiobook and paperback formats. A large portion of its portfolio consists of audiobook editions of books published in different formats by other publishers and indie authors. If you want to hear your book brought to life by a professional narrator, please get in touch. You’ll be glad that you did.

As for my writing career, I liked the idea of becoming a writer from an early age, although specializing in erotica was not what I initially envisioned. While attending college I dabbled in various writing ...more

Popular Answered Questions

A quick question for you on your recommendation of "Dommes and Submissives." As you may recall, my tastes do NOT tend toward the abusive, cruel, and violent femme domme areas. If you see my reviews within the genre, you know I prefer married or committed couples, power exchange, cuckold/hotwife, and perhaps even the tease-to-torment. Does your recommendation still stand given this fact?
Jim Lyon The stories in this anthology don't feature truly hardcore and abusive dommes, but the D/s dynamics aren't particularly genteel either. Perhaps you sh…moreThe stories in this anthology don't feature truly hardcore and abusive dommes, but the D/s dynamics aren't particularly genteel either. Perhaps you should err on the side of caution if that's a sensitive area for you. Might I suggest you peek at the "Look Inside" feature for the book on Amazon to help you decide if this book suits your sensibilities. (less)

Hi Jim, Much as a really appreciate your recommendations, which are frequently spot-on for my reading tastes, I find myself wondering why you haven't rated or recommended "Master of O." I'm a little afraid of the answer, but I am curious sense it would seem to be very much in your wheelhouse. Do you not like it or have you not read it?
Jim Lyon Like many people, Story of O was my introduction to erotica and the world of BDSM. I even read the sequel and a no doubt unauthorized continuation of …moreLike many people, Story of O was my introduction to erotica and the world of BDSM. I even read the sequel and a no doubt unauthorized continuation of the story published by Blue Moon in the 1990s. Now that I am a smut writer as well as a smut publisher, I don't have a lot of time for recreational reading, so fairly long books such as Master of O never make it to my to-read list. For the most part I only read short books, usually but not exclusively, that are written by friends or acquaintances, or authors whose work I have published. (less)

Jim Lyon Last year I steeled myself to the task of reviewing the Goodreads listings of all of my own and Wordwooze Publishing's books for accuracy and completeness. It was shocking how many omissions and errors I found. I resolved to slug through the mess and systematically began submitting change requests to the Goodreads librarians. At first I was making slow but steady progress. However, eventually the librarians stopped responding to my requests. Considering that they are volunteers, I am disinclined to complain ... to whom? But my experience makes me wonder just how not-up-to-date the entire site must be.

Jim Lyon My Publishing company, Wordwooze Publishing, now has a podcast called Audiobook Test Drive, which features complete chapters from our audiobook editions for fans to listen to for free. As of this writing most of our extensive portfolio is represented. We will be adding one new book per day until every title is available, then continue adding our new audiobooks as they are released, which generally is one or two per week. Below is the link to Audiobook Test Drive. Please come by and listen to your heart's content.
