Upcoming Site Changes

This is just a quick post to let you know I'm making progress on another story. Sadly the progress has been slower than I would have liked. Mostly life stuff getting in the way. I'm hoping to get this next story out either by the end of the month or the beginning of February. This time I'll try and give notice before it comes out, instead of like last time and posting, 'oh by the way, here's a story.'

In other news, I'll be making design changes to this site. In fact, I may have already started on them by the time you read this.

If you've been following along with some of my older posts, then you might recall that I've considered making some design changes to this site some time ago. I plan on starting on those this week. So if you happen by and things look a little wonky, that is why.

I've thought of changing platforms, but honestly, I don't really have a real reason to do so. I use Blogger for this site, and I have fun with it and it's easy for me to maintain. I've learned that the fun factor means a lot these days. Tweaking the themes has become a ~~obsession~~ hobby that I really enjoy.

However, this is not to say I won't change platforms in the future. Right now, I'm more focused on writing stories and playing around with this site.

Also, I want to try to promote my work more. So I think I've found a way to do that on this site without it being too intrusive. After all that is just one of the many things this site is for.

Another thing on the to-do list for the site, is to set up a subscription to receive blog post by email, if that's your thing. This service used to be handled by Feedburner, which ended their email service last year. While I didn't have many subscribers, I still thought I'd find a service and put it up there just in case someone wanted to follow this site in that way.

I have no interest in starting an email newsletter at this time. Or if at all. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is, I can't think what I'd put in a newsletter that I wouldn't post here on the blog. The other thing is, anyone can access what I write on this blog, with a newsletter, only subscribers can read it. So it seems rather pointless to me. Although, there are authors who swear by this, and if that works for them, great. But subscribing to my posts by email would be about the same experience.

I'll be working on all of this little by little over the course of the next week or so. I'm sure there are other things that I'll be changing as well, but this is what I'm focused on right now, while also working on the next story.

New Year, New Goals, What’s Coming Next

I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday season. Can’t believe it’s all over with. I swear it lasted all of five minutes then, poof! it was gone. Yes, it’s that time again. Time to make goals for the new year. At the start of every year, I write down goals or things I want to achieve for the year. Rarely do I achieve them, stick with them, or remember them by February. I try again throughout the year, remaking goals and such, with the same results. As I was making my ill-fated list of goals for the year, I thought about why I don’t reach them. That is the problem I need to tackle. How to stick with my list and actually reach my goals. Some goals I achieve, but most of them, not so much. Course Corrected If you’ve been following along, then you know I’d fallen into some sort of slump or writer’s block or something. If you haven’t been following along, you can read the first post about this here and the second here . I’ll wait. All caught up? Good, let’s move forward. I am back i...

Blogging Weekly to Stay Productive

What to talk about today? Honestly, I have nothing. So why am I here with a blog post if I have nothing? In trying to make goals for the year, I decided to be more active on here. I want to write and post more. Why? Because I enjoy doing this. Sometime ago, I began a blog under a different name with a different focus. My goal was to post weekly. I’d read somewhere that when doing an author blog, that was a good pace to go at. When I started that now neglected blog, that’s what I did. I sat down and wrote something, anything, once a week and posted it. To my surprise, I lasted longer at it than I thought I would. I think I had even picked a day to post. Maybe it was Monday or Wednesday? I don’t remember. I could check, but I can’t be bothered right now. It’s not really important. What is important is I’d stuck to the weekly blogging for some time and I enjoyed the heck out of it. In fact, if I’d became busy during the week and it came time to post something, I’d drop everything an...

New Release - Second Chance in Winter

Another new release! I'm so happy to finally get this story out. I would have had it out sooner, but being down over a week with the flu really put me behind on it. When I felt better, I was really happy to get back to it. Here it is - Second Chance in Winter. How did the man who did me wrong all those years ago end up looking hotter than sin? Even worse is my attraction to him is stronger now than ever. Claire After a humiliating experience in high school, I left the small town I grew up in behind for good. That is until I’m offered a job nearby and my dad would be disappointed if I didn’t stay with him. Everything is going great until I run into the man who helped humiliate me all those years ago. Logan is the last person I want to see. Ever. Except, he is even hotter now than he was in school. In fact, he is everything I could want in a man. I don’t want to be this attracted to him, but I am. Only I don’t think I could survive him breaking my heart again. Logan I didn...
