Steamy Summer Reads and Things I’m Working On


This past week has been too hot for words. No, wait, I’m a writer, I could give all kinds of words do describe it. But it’s really too hot and I'm too lazy to bother. I swear I’m turning into an old curmudgeon. This past winter I moaned and complained about the cold, but now I’m not happy with the heat. Next thing I know I’ll be yelling at kids to get off my lawn. Except, there are no kids where I live, so I shall stay young until then and put forth an effort to stop complaining about the weather. 😎

On that note, and despite the heat, I have been hard at work. I have finally gotten started on a few of the things I mentioned in my last post but haven’t implemented anything yet, but I’m getting there.

The most important thing right now is I’m working on a story that is pretty far along. Even better, this story is going to be part of a themed series. The first story is shaping up great and I have notes for the second story and have an inkling of ideas for two more. They will all be standalone stories but revolve around a theme. Best of all, I’m really super excited about these stories.

I’ll be making a more official announcement about this project when I get closer to publishing the first story, so stay tuned. 📺
 
As of now, I’m thinking it might be mid to late July before the first story drops. It might be sooner because of how much progress I’m making, but it might not be.
 
In the meantime, I’m going to do a shameless plug for a few of my already published stories.

Summer Stories

If you haven’t already read them, here are three stories that I’ve written that are great for summer reading.

Her Holiday Fireworks

This is a Fourth of July story that I more or less wrote on a whim and had a great time writing it. It is my 3rd published story and I must say I liked this story when I finished it. 

It’s more erotic than romantic but still a fun read. I wrote it in the spirit of the holiday and summer heat. It’s a quick read, so if you want something spicy to read when short on time this is it. 

Not only that, it’s that time of year again with the Fourth of July holiday here in the US is right around the corner. 🎆

Beach Fling with the Biker

 Another fun story. At least I think it is, but what do I know? Everything is subjective. It’s about a hot guy on a bike that meets a stuffy accountant who’s trying to unwind on the beach. They’re from two different parts of the country and only at the beach for a week's vacation. 

How, oh how, will they make it work to get their HEA? Well, you know, since this is my shameless plug for my stories, you’ll just have to read it to find out. 
 
I think the blurb for this story needs work, because I don’t think it brings about the energy of the story. This is something I need to work on. Still, if you’re looking for a steamy beach read check it out. 

Guard My Body

This doesn’t have a summer theme as much as the other two stories, but I’m still going to put it on the list.

I think I had the most fun writing this little story, more so than any other I’ve written so far. I have a lot of little twists and turns in this story with an embarrassing disaster early on.

It’s a fun, cute story. It’s little longer than Her Holiday Fireworks but shorter than Beach Fling with the Biker, so if you’re looking for a short romance, this should hit the spot. I even wrote a post about how this story came to be here. 

All three stories are available at Amazon and they are in Kindle Unlimited, so if you have a subscription, why not check them out? Or you can purchase them for .99￠ in the US. (Not sure of the prices in other countries, but it is the equivalent of being .99￠ of US currency.)

Well, there you have it, my shameless plug for a few of my stories that are good summer reads. While these stories are not great works of literature, I had a lot of fun writing them and I can only hope that people have fun reading them. Enjoy!

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 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!

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...
