Thursday Chat

Well, I was going to post Thursday Babble, which is what this is.

I hope y'all are enjoying the blog story. Looking back over the past 24 months +, it's been writing the blog stories and interacting with y'all that has kept me in the writing sphere. The freedom I have here to just run with whatever idea hits-- or is voted on-- has helped ease the weight on my shoulders at times.

So, thank you all for that. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it-- Thank you.

I am behind on email replies and comments, but honestly, I can't promise any timely replies. I am doing the best I can every day, and appreciate y'all's patience.

Today has been a decent day, although I didn't write. Too much other stuff going on. I did send in several partially written stories and ideas to Pride to see what they might want from that.

OH! Did y'all see that Barnes and Noble is removing indie/self-pub erotic romance authors' books? They claim the books violate BN policy. Look, that's some rank bullshit. It's censorship, flat-out. So if and when I self-pub, there will be none of my books on Barnes and Noble, apparently. You would think that a company that likely needs to increase sales wouldn't be doing crap like this. Seriously, how are authors supposed to earn a living? How are we supposed to keep up the heart and creativity?

Okay. I'm off to get some housework done. Woo. Hoo. O.o

Happy Thursday, y'all <3

Thursday... Upcoming Story and **NSFW** Pics

Well, I'm dragging ass today. The grandkids slept over, and I'm a night owl-- they're early risers. Still, I'd gladly trade lost sleep for time with them. :-D

I've decided I'll write a second short story in the Mystic Tattoo series. I had intended to write lots of those stories, but things went bonkers. I will have one written and turned in in a week and a half. It won't be Gene's story, though I really want to write his. He'll get a story. If you aren't certain which book I'm talking about writing a sequel to, it's this one:

Mystic Tattoos: One Too Many

Blurb:

Don’t discount the mystic powers in the world…

Casey has spent most of his adult life building a successful business. His mother has been on him to settle down with a good man. Casey would, but he hasn’t had time to look for one. On his fortieth birthday, he goes out with friends and gets drunk—and has one too many.

When he wakes up in the morning, there’s a sexy, strange man in his home and a new, kind of painful tattoo on Casey’s chest. He doesn’t remember what happened the night before, but it doesn’t take him long to realize that the stranger, Ed, is someone he wants to get to know much better.

Now, if the fates and stars and all that mystical stuff will align, Casey and Ed might have their Happily Ever After, with the help of a mysterious tattoo artist and a vanishing tattoo shop.

That came out as a general release in November. I hope writing something short will help me get back in the swing of things. I've done well keeping up with the blog story this time, way, way less moved installments. So that's...better than it was. 

Besides that, I'm in need of an energy boost. And with that... here's a couple of pics to brighten y'all's day! (I know I've used the pics before, but hey, I bought them and they're still amazing!) Happy Thursday, y'all! <3
