New Release - The Gift of Holly

 I've got another Christmas story for you. Like the last story, it's a romance and not quite as steamy as my other stories, but there's still enough sexy steam to keep you warm in this holiday season. This will be the last Christmas story for this year. Originally, I'd planned to do four stories. Alas, it is not meant to be this year. This last story took me longer than I'd planned and time was of the essence.  I mentioned in a previous post about my lack of time management. Was I ambitious thinking I could do four stories this month? Maybe, maybe not. I learn a lot with each new story I write and these past few weeks have been a learning experience for sure. I'll explore this more in depth in future blog posts. In the end, I feel if I hadn't been over ambitious to some extent, I may have only gotten one story out this month.  Speaking of stories. I present to you - The Gift of Holly MAKE A WISH UPON A SNOWFLAKE DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND IT MIGHT COME TRUE! H...

New Release - Her Secret Santa

 Are you ready for a new story? Of course you are! I had seriously hoped to have a new story out way before this. I know my last story was a holiday story and so is this one. Don't worry, I'm not going to write just holiday stories from now on. But, I have more Christmas stories coming before the end of this year. The other thing is, this story didn't turn out as steamy as my other ones. This is a romance story. Whereas the other ones I consider more romantic erotica. So if your looking for a cute Christmas love story, this is it. Don't worry, I still have some steam in it. I can't help it, gotta have my steam! Now I present you to the first story in my Holiday Wishes Series - Her Secret Santa. MAKE A WISH UPON A SNOWFLAKE DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND IT MIGHT COME TRUE! Brianna Alone at Christmas. That’s what I’m going to be. My parents are going out of state to visit my deadbeat brother and my best friend is leaving town with her boyfriend. I wish I had a hot guy to s...

Cover Reveal

  Finally, after all this time, I'll soon have another story out! This is going to be story #1 in a series that I'm still trying to figure out a name for, but right now I'm thinking the series will be called Holiday Wishes, but nothing is certain yet. Don't worry, each story will be a stand alone story, which means you don't have to read them in order. So I present to you the cover for the first story in this series - Her Secret Santa. I'm busy putting the finishing touches on the story and hope to have it out in a couple more days. I took a break from it yesterday to do a cover. I do my own covers and I'm finding that I really enjoy making them. I guess all those art classes I took in the past are not going to waste after all. While I did study art at one time, I don't have any graphic design skills. I won't lie, it really worried me if I could make decent looking covers myself. I discovered that many authors used a free online tool called Canva. So...

What's Coming Soon - Christmas!

Well, here it is the end of November already. I had planned to get at least one story out this month, then that nasty thing called a day job got in my way. Such is life. Once the day job settled down, I realized Christmas wasn't far off and I really wanted to work on some stories for the holiday. I also realized how unorganized I am. I've tried in the past to manage my time better and be more organized with pretty much my entire life, but I soon fall off the wagon and go back to flitting my time away. It happens. But as we near the end of 2020 (already!) I reflected back on this past year and my writing goals that I didn't reach. So I did something that, I'll confess I'm not very good at, I reached out to a friend for help. I have an awesome friend who is good at planning and organizing his time and stuff. So with his encouragement, I put together a rough plan for the remainder of the year. With Christmas coming and all that entails, it'll be a time crunch for s...

Don't Worry, I'm Still Here

I logged into this site the other day and realize I hadn’t done a blog post since August. Where did the time go? I’m sure there is a logical explanation for it, like maybe something happened in the time-space continuum, or nasty little gremlins were causing mischief in the time-line. I’m certain it was something along those lines. If that seems unbelievable then I’ll just blame this darn pandemic. After all, that’s what all the cool kids blame stuff on these days. But in reality, I guess I just got busy with other things. On September 1st I had finally had enough of letting myself go and started working out again. Only this time, I tried not to push myself so hard, so maybe I’d stick with it this time till it became a daily habit. Which is has. Here we are in mid-October and I’m still working out daily. I feel tons better overall and I have more energy and a clearer mind. But speaking of mind, also in September, I suffered a head injury. After a trip to the ER, the doctors confirmed I ...

Stuff That is Coming Soon

  I’ve gotten back in full swing of working again. Whatever sort of derailment I had back in July (probably the heat) has lifted, and I’m working on several things at the moment. So I thought I’d do a rundown of all the things I have going on that will come your way soon. New Stories First up, I found a story I’d started, I have no idea how long ago, that appeared by accident one day as I was trying to do something else (what that something else was is a story for another time) and I thought, hmm. . . I like this and this story would fit in with my Office After Hour series I started that I sort of fizzled out on. So a third story in the Office After Hours will come your way. I’m almost finished with the first draft. So far, this one is looking like it will be my longest story yet. It’s another MMF story. Getting Her Clients , my other MMF story, didn’t do as well in sales. I thought maybe MMF stories aren’t the way to go. But, I like reading those kinds of stories, and I’m having ...

No Ideas, No Problem

So my last post I talked about how it felt like my idea well had gone dry. After I wrote that post, I got to work and discovered an idea I’m jazzed about. So I’m back to work on another story. Two days after that I was sorting through some clutter and I came across the July/August 2018 issue of Writer’s Digest that featured an interview with George Saunders. I couldn't remember if I’d read that interview or not. So I took the time to read it. (This is why I never get any cleaning done.) In the interview he talked about being wary of outlines and how he tried to know as little as possible (about the story) at every step, so you’re open to the actual energy coming off the page. Well, gee, where was this advice two weeks ago when I needed it? I mean seriously, here is a guy who’s won a Man Booker Prize, and he starts out knowing as little as possible. Here I am, a producer of smut, trying to brainstorm as much as I can before I start. Yes, yes, I noticed the difference too. I’m not o...
