Golden Pigtail Award Semi-Final Voting is open!

You've got five plus one opportunities to give Cornelia Quick a little boost!

Voting is open now for the 2023 Golden Pigtail Smut Awards! 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!

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

Here are my five titles, the categories they’re nominated in, and links to free sample scenes from each; voting ends February 14!

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!

I can’t offer you dirty stories as a subscriber here (you can get those as a subscriber on SubscribeStar or Ream, or get them retail). 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!).
