Cover Reveal and Updates

Well, howdy sexy readers. Get ready, because I’m getting closer and closer to my first release! Whoo Hoo!

So I present to you the cover of my first story - His Workaholic.

This one is a steamy hot short story. Because who doesn’t need a sexy hot quickie? And yes, I use the word ‘hot’ a lot, sorry.

This story is a shot erotic romance, probably more on the erotic side than the romance side, but it comes with a cute, sweet ending. Or at least I think it does, then again since I wrote it, what the heck do I know?

I’m putting the finishing touches on it now. I’ve drafted a blurb for the story, but it still needs a little work yet.

This entire process has been an uphill slog for me. I’ve battled self-doubt around every corner. Almost gave up a couple of times. But I figured what the heck? I’ve got nothing to lose on this. Except the money I paid for the stock photo on the cover and I splurged for a domain name for this site. Still, it’s a minor investment. And even if just one person likes my story, then to me, it’s been worth it.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and totally geeked that I’m nearly there. I’ve made peace with the fact that mistakes will happen along this journey. So I remind myself that sometimes the only way we learn and grow is through our mistakes. Or at least that’s what all those inspirational quotes and self-help books say. So I will trust they know what they are talking about.

In other news, after I get this story out, I’ll be hard at work on the next story which is in first draft stage so lots of work to do, but I’m looking forward to it. As I think the next story will be even hotter than this one.

Subscribe by Email is Going Away. . . For Now

When I first set up this site, FeedBurner had a nice subscribe by email option built into the site. I really appreciated it. FeedBurner was by no means perfect, but then again, nothing is. Google eventually shut down the subscribe by email part of FeedBurner. Like many other bloggers, I searched for a replacement. Like many others, I opted to go with follow.it for this service. Again, this was not a perfect option, but let’s go back to nothing is perfect. With follow.it, they placed ads in the emails, which were not too obtrusive. I figured I could live with this for now. If I gained more subscribers, I’d either go for a paid version of follow.it to remove the ads or something else. I always subscribe to my own blog so that way I can monitor things and make sure they work. I also subscribe to a few other bloggers who use the same service. A few months ago, I noticed that instead of putting my post content in the email, follow.it instead sent a link to click on to read the post. I...

A Notebook of Productivity - An Attempt to Get It Together

I’m always struggling to get my shit together and be more productive in life. Most especially my writing. If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, then you already know this. I’ve talked about this in several posts on this blog. Back in May , I wrote a post about all the things I was working on. As always, I got lazy and didn’t really work on any of it. It was also back in May when I came up with the idea for my latest story, The Worst Man. That story sort of took my attention over everything else I was planning on doing, like learning how to build eBooks without an online converter, and other things I talked about in that post. As a result, when it came time to publish that story, I yet again used the Reedsy editor to convert my story to ePub. Which is fine. I love the Reedsy converter, and I was even thinking that maybe I’d just stick with it. Except when I went to do the final conversion, there was a hiccup on Reedsy’s side of things, and I didn’t get my ePub to co...

A Valentine's Gift Coming This Weekend

I’ve been trying to stay warm these past two weeks since we’ve had another one of those polar vortex things in my part of the world. In trying to do so, I’ve been hard at work on the next story in my Wedding Troubles Series. As of now, I’m not sure when I’ll get this story out, but it's coming along and I’m making lots of progress. During all this cold and snow, I thought of Valentine’s Day. Since I write romance, I figured this was a good time of the year to offer a little gift to everyone. So be sure to check back on Friday to see what it is!
