Upcoming Site Changes

This is just a quick post to let you know I'm making progress on another story. Sadly the progress has been slower than I would have liked. Mostly life stuff getting in the way. I'm hoping to get this next story out either by the end of the month or the beginning of February. This time I'll try and give notice before it comes out, instead of like last time and posting, 'oh by the way, here's a story.'

In other news, I'll be making design changes to this site. In fact, I may have already started on them by the time you read this.

If you've been following along with some of my older posts, then you might recall that I've considered making some design changes to this site some time ago. I plan on starting on those this week. So if you happen by and things look a little wonky, that is why.

I've thought of changing platforms, but honestly, I don't really have a real reason to do so. I use Blogger for this site, and I have fun with it and it's easy for me to maintain. I've learned that the fun factor means a lot these days. Tweaking the themes has become a ~~obsession~~ hobby that I really enjoy.

However, this is not to say I won't change platforms in the future. Right now, I'm more focused on writing stories and playing around with this site.

Also, I want to try to promote my work more. So I think I've found a way to do that on this site without it being too intrusive. After all that is just one of the many things this site is for.

Another thing on the to-do list for the site, is to set up a subscription to receive blog post by email, if that's your thing. This service used to be handled by Feedburner, which ended their email service last year. While I didn't have many subscribers, I still thought I'd find a service and put it up there just in case someone wanted to follow this site in that way.

I have no interest in starting an email newsletter at this time. Or if at all. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is, I can't think what I'd put in a newsletter that I wouldn't post here on the blog. The other thing is, anyone can access what I write on this blog, with a newsletter, only subscribers can read it. So it seems rather pointless to me. Although, there are authors who swear by this, and if that works for them, great. But subscribing to my posts by email would be about the same experience.

I'll be working on all of this little by little over the course of the next week or so. I'm sure there are other things that I'll be changing as well, but this is what I'm focused on right now, while also working on the next story.

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 ...
