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!

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...

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...
