Giving Up
Trying to publish a book is a lot of work. Sometimes hard painful work. With zero rewards. You spend a lot of money and time on a story and publish it. And spend more money and time promoting it. Doing everything you can for months and months. Only to have it go unnoticed and unloved. Something that you put a lot of work and love into.
If you're a sensitive person, it can become too much. And as an author. I'm at that point.
Sometimes you have to realize that now isn't the time. Maybe someday, but not now. So I'll be closing this account and not responding. My stories with Vera have been removed from Kindle. Maybe someday we'll come back to them. But for now, we need to be done. It is too much for both of us.
Thank you for your time and for those who had kind words for us, thank you even more.

A Summary of Trouble
We have re-released our book with a new cover and a new summary! PLEASE check it out!
My Thread
When you release a book, the Summary and Cover can both be things that can cause headaches. How do you know you got the best one? If you're not getting attention, will changing it help? Hurt? Sometimes you just try things. Such is the case here!
We've changed our Summary! Not that the old one was bad or inaccurate. It was AMAZING and definitely a summary of aspects of the novel. But was it catchy enough? Who knows. Is the new one more catchy? Hopefully? It focuses more on the sex and bdsm aspects of the book. 😋 Read it and let us know!
We've also changed the cover! We loved the first cover. It was a labor of love! But... We thought maybe it wasn't eye-catching enough? So we've changed it! Something hopefully a little racier...

Boys Love Erotica
Writing boys love erotica really wasn't actually something I ever thought I would do! But when Vera Schneider and I connected, somehow it just came to be! And the result of that is our work, Missunderstanding- My Thread.
We've been working on that for 2 years now and we were so excited to get it published on Amazon and Kobo! It is something really amazing to see your work online! Please check it out!
