Dakota Fanning is all smiles...and then not

Styleist has a whole bunch of photos of Dakota Fanning from 2001 to now, showing her Style Evolution. It's fascinating to see how she has this huge broad grin when she's a little girl, but then at some point she clamps shut and doesn't show hear pearly whites any more. Fanning underwent a lot of orthodontic treatment, but she usually showed it off, including demonstrating hear reverse-pull headgear on Jay Leno. But it sure seems like there is some lingering self-consciousness about having had them. Maybe it just took a while to sink in.

The results are in!

Thank you so much to everybody who took the first Intraoral Press Reader Survey. It was great (and surprising) to learn what people like and what they want, and it will help me with some of the future IoPress books!

Here is our Intraoral Press Reader Survey analysis, which breaks down and discusses the results.

Several books are already in the works, so I don't know how well I will be able to apply some of these lessons and wishes yet, but eventually I should be able to use them in future books.

Lights, Camera, Braces! - new ebook!

Yes! There's a new Dr. Samantha Wrighting short out from Intraoral Press: Lights, Camera, Braces!

Like all the Dr. Samantha Wrighting shorts it is available only as an ebook. It's pretty substantial too: about 85 print pages or 32,000 words long, and it is available for only $2.99 from:

- Lulu (ePub format)
- on Kindle in the United States
- Kindle: UK
- Kindle: Germany
- Kindle: France

It should also be available as an iBook and on Nook soon

What's it about?

Twelve-year-old Ellenor plays Tabitha 'Tabs' Martin on the new hit TV series, Family Does It, but when Ellenor has to get braces, so does Tabitha. Instead of being the end of her career and life, like she worried, Ellenor becomes a role model and a star. But it comes at an enormous cost – braces! Lights, Action, Braces! is both the story of the everyday struggle of being someone with braces, and of being a star with braces.

This is a pretty tame braces story. It's suitable for all audiences, even younger kids, I think!
From the results of the Intraoral Press Reader Survey I see that a lot of you want more stuff with more sex and adult patients in it. There's none of that here, but I hope you still like the story and the descriptions of the experience of having braces!

But don't worry! More Erotic Orthodontic Encounters are also coming! I'll try to make the next one really raunchy ;-)

And thanks everybody who has taken the Intraoral Press Reader Survey (and if you haven't, please do!). The feedback is SO helpful! A bit surprising too. I'll write about the results soon. And while I can't take your wishes into account in all the books I'm already using some of the feedback for the next Erotic Orthodontic Encounter book, so I hope you'll really like that one.

There are now 9 Intraoral Press books to choose from! I hope you read them all!

Happy New Year!

A Happy New Year to all the readers of the Intraoral Press books. I hope to have a lot more for you in 2012, and I hope you continue to enjoy them!

If you haven't taken the Intraoral Press Reader Survey please do so! I'm finding the feedback really helpful, and I'd love to hear from more readers. I already have a few ideas how to integrate what readers seem to want in future Dr.Wrighting books (though maybe not yet in the ones that are close to completion). The survey will remain open for a bit longer, and I'll then post my analysis of the results for you.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my readers !

And if you got an eReader for Christmas remember that all of the Dr.Samantha Wrighting books are available on Kindle, and several are available for the Nook and iPad. And they're all available in eBook and print at Lulu!

Weekly update

Thanks to everybody who has completed the Intraoral Press Reader Survey! And if you haven't filled it out yet please do so. The more information I have the better! I think the feedback will definitely be helpful, although it might be a while before I can work it into the books. (I'm going to leave the survey open for a while longer, but I'll report on the results when I'm finished.)

A couple more projects are slowly nearing completion, but around Christmas time it can be hard to find time to write, so I don't know how soon it will be until the next one will be available.

Weekly update

Thank you to everyone who has already taken the Intraoral Press Reader Survey! And if you haven't yet, please take it - it's really helpful learning about what readers do and don't like and want!

Bracing Times with Cecilia is now also available from Lulu as an ebook, for those who prefer the ePub format to the Kindle. It also costs $5.99. (Lulu has changed how ebooks are made and formatted a bit - I preferred the old pdf system, but the ePub book looks good too.) Hopefully that also means it will be available for iBook and Nook soon!

Reader survey

I don't get much feedback from readers - no Amazon reviews yet! - but I'd like to know more about why you like my books and what else you'd like to read about, so I hope all of you will take my first Intraoral Press Reader Survey.

It's ten questions and I hope it will give me a better of idea of what you like reading about. I don't know how much I can tailor the books to what you like, but if there's some stuff you really love or some your really HATE maybe I can adjust to that in future books. I'll try!

Remember that some of the questions allow for multiple answers! And thanks a lot for taking the survey!

Thanksgiving treat ! Get "Bracing Times with Cecilia"

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And as a special treat: there's a new Dr. Samantha Wrighting novel available, Bracing Times with Cecilia!

Right now it's available in print from Lulu (where you can also preview the first pages) and on Kindle in:

• the US
• the UK
• Germany
• France

Bracing Times with Cecilia is the third volume in the Erotic Orthodontic Encounter series, and it's the most ambitious and longest one yet — 132 pages and over 53,000 words. So I hope you get your money's worth!

What's it about? Well, the way I describe it is:

Cecilia is a junior in college. On the one hand, she’s beautiful, from a wealthy family, smart and charming. On the other hand … she has braces. Roger is torn, attracted to everything about her — but her braces are impossible to overlook. Drawn to one another, they begin a relationship — but Cecilia’s orthodontic issues and then her demands don’t make it easy for Roger.

I'm really excited about this one because it introduces a great new character to the Dr.Samantha Wrighting novels. Cecilia St.Winthropson is twenty years old here, and the novel just describes her first half year or so in braces — and in her relationship with Roger. She's considering a career in orthodontics, and she even gets a summer job helping out at Dr.Wrighting's office, but what happens next is still totally open. Will she really go into orthodontics? Will she and Roger stay together?

I really like this character because she has a lot of issues to work through, and she still has a lot of room to develop as a character and I am looking forward to using her in more novels.

It is an Erotic Orthodontic Encounter, so there is quite a bit of sex. I hope I am doing that in a way readers like! Some of what happens here is a bit kinky, I guess, but that's also in keeping with the character and also what I think makes Cecilia so interesting.

This novel is narrated by Roger, who become her boyfriend. I think it's a good way to introduce Cecilia, but maybe I'll have her narrate her own story in a later book.

Anyway, I hope you like it, and I hope you like Cecilia! I look forward to hearing what readers think — including what they think should happen to Cecilia (and Roger).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Weekly update

I'm excited that someone has bought Retainer Girl from iBooks! It's probably easier to read on the iPad than the Kindle. Though of course I'm very pleased by how many people are buying my books in the Kindle format. I hope you're enjoying them!

And stay tuned - I have a Thanksgiving surprise coming up, which I hope you'll like!
