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 posts wil help or inspire you along the way.

For now, I won't worry if this sounds stupid or not, because I doubt anyone will read it for some time, if ever. So for now, it’s just me and the sounds of crickets chirping, but that’s okay because they always sound beautiful to me.

New Release - Beach Fling with the Biker

Another new release is here! Beach Fling with the Biker is live! The last thing I needed was the temptation of a hot biker who takes my mind off everything but him. . . Alexa A week alone on the beach. That’s all I wanted. A week to figure out how to escape my father’s accounting firm that he expects me to take over one day. Except, a reservation screw up ends my alone time. Now, I’m sharing it with a god of a man who rode in on a bike. I’m supposed to be figuring my life out, not obsessing over a hot biker I won’t ever see again when the week is over. Would I risk my father’s wrath for a man I barely know? Or could this biker be the life path I’ve been searching for? Damon All I wanted was a week alone on the beach. One last time to live wild and free before I take on responsibilities my family is pressuring me into. Only a reservation screw up has me staying with a woman who wears loud shirts and tempts me like no other. By the end of the week, I’ll have to make a choice. Do I r...

Blogs - Why I Love Them and Why I Want to Do More

I like blogs. I read several almost daily. Most of the ones I read are by authors, but I read other kinds of blogs as well. Some blogs have helped me. For example, when I decided knitting a pair of socks was a great idea, I found a blog to help me figure out the stitches for the heel of the sock. Or when I decided to dual boot my laptop with Linux, while retaining Windows. Although, I'm not sure why, I've never really logged into my Windows partition. Oh well. The point is the info on a blog was there to help me. As some of you know I'm not big on social media. I've never understood Facebook and honestly, I'm not sure I ever will. To some extent I do, but mostly I don't. I feel like everybody is shouting, "Hey, look at me, and here's my views on this and that, today I'm upset at this other thing, and oh by the way this is what I had for breakfast with photos." I can live my life without that madness. Once upon a time, I did try to be active o...

Four Years of Self Publishing - What I’ve Learned and Looking Ahead

Last month marked four years since I began my self publishing journey. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long already. In some ways, it’s even harder to believe that I’m still at it and still trying. It’s been a learning journey for certain. Not just about writing and publishing, but also about myself. A Brief Look Back I’ve published nine stories in these four years. I’m disappointed I haven’t published more, but at the same time, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. From being scared to death about putting myself out there, to having nine stories published. Not a big win, but a win I’ll take. When I started this, I set out to write erotic short stories. I'd read a few books that claimed that writing short erotica would have you earning money in no time. Sounded like a good idea to me. My first three stories, His Workaholic , Getting Her Clients and Her Holiday Fireworks , certainly revolved around sex. But they also have romantic elements and could've passed as erotic ...
