It's Here! His Workaholic is Live!

After tons of hard work His Workaholic is now live! Whoo Hoo!!! I keep staring at it on Amazon, somewhat in disbelief. But I didn't stare too long. I got busy and set up my Author Central page, and now I'm working on this release post. So much to do yet. Not to mention another story to get cracking on. I do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. This is a short steamy read. So if you like your stories hot, this is for you! His Workaholic: The Office After Hours 1 A Steamy Short Story What happens in the office after hours . . . Loren I’m tired of staying late at the office every day. My only perk is seeing the smoking hot man that cleans the office every night. Is it sad that I fantasize about the cleaning guy? Probably. I need a new job. Kyle When I agreed to temporarily help my friend out with his cleaning business, I never thought I’d meet such a sexy workaholic. I want to do more for her than just empty her wastebasket. I want to make her mine. If ...

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 e...

How-To Write Smut Books Make it Look so Easy

I’m hard at work putting the finishing touches on my first story. Some days I feel like I will never get there. All I can say is those books on writing and self-publishing short erotica and short romance make it look way easier than this. I’m sure part of it is my own insecurities. Well, okay, that’s probably most of it to be honest. When I decided to do this, I read several how -to books on writing and self-publishing short erotica/short romance. Basically, in a nutshell, what they said was that you could write a story in 2 or 3 days, then make a cover, upload it to Amazon and/or other retailers and Bam! You’re on your way to building a smut empire. Easy peasy . I’m here to tell you a few things. First off, I can write a story in 2 or 3 days, no problem. However, revision and edits take me more than 2 or 3 days. At least it is for this first story. I’ve had to do a complete rewrite of it. Did it help? Heck yeah, it did. But it took time. I did a lot of edits first...

The Editing Never Ends, or, It Will Never be Perfect

I love to write. But writing is rewriting and I don’t love that as much. Others take great joy in rewriting, but not me. I take great joy in the creating. To me nothing is better than getting an idea and typing away in the heat of passionate creation. That’s where I find my joy. I’m working at rewrites and edits for the first story I plan on publishing. Except, my other failing is I’m a perfectionist, at least with my writing. I never thought I was. I mean, I’m often untidy in my surroundings and with many other things in life. I often say “good enough” and move on. It’s not like that with my writing, and it was only recently that I discovered this. I had a friend that retired from being an Art Director at a big New York City advertising firm. I remember him saying, “Isn’t it amazing how many people go over the same piece of writing and still errors get through.” He’s right. This happens. Just look at books published by major publishers. Often I see reader reviews com...

Listening to the Crickets

Well, until I get something published and get my name out there, I’m probably just writing this for the crickets. We all have to start somewhere, so I thought I’d get this first post out of the way. This is not my first blog or my first adventure in writing. But the first post always feels awkward. Sort of like a first date with a really hot guy and you worry that no matter what you say it’ll sound stupid. Yeah, that’s how this feels right now. The next post will be better. I’ll find my stride, eventually. I just have to get this one out of the way to start. In the coming days and weeks I will share with you my sexy writing adventure. This is something I’ve always thought about doing and then late last year I decided, what the heck, why not do it? This is not some, I’m bored at home because of this whole virus thing, it’s something that has been in the works for a long time coming. Maybe a few of you have thought of embarking on a similar adventure and maybe these ...
