I finally published my newest book!

Betrothed to a Vampire was a long time in the making...

Hopefully I can get to all of the reviews I have to write. I have so many that I am not posting them all to Goodreads or to Booklikes. Mostly I am just posting on Amazon in an attempt to get caught up.

I just realized I have over FIFTY review to write!!! I am so far behind in them that I doubt I will get them all done...but, this is a warning...they will be coming hard and fast over the next few hours :) Some will be short, some will be long, and some books will only be rated...Gotta catch up somehow.

Is booklikes down for anyone else?

After giving my book away to 50+ people in exchange for their HONEST review and only getting three reviews after a year...I have decided to say nah to that. No more ARC's for this author!

I think I will just stick to a beta reader, content editor, and editor. Its too frustrating to constantly be watching for reviews that never show up.

I am mostly on Booklikes now, if you have an account there, please add me!

Sigh...it's kind of boring so far...

Well, my auto-biography should be ready to be published this week...I hesitate to set a release date and I plan on just quietly releasing this into the world of Amazon. Strangely, I hope people read it, but no one I know picks it up...Sigh...on the plus side, the final book in my series will be with my editor before the end of this week!

So far, I have no idea where this book is going...that is a GOOD thing!

With TWO books set to be released before the end of the year, I am one BUSY author! But, today the Black Friday ad for Target caught my eye...A nook HD for only $79? I am really glad I recently made the transition out of KDP and made my books available in many more places!

I am doing a giveaway of Tia's Folly over at Booklikes! Enter to win a copy!

I think I need a break...I was actually tensing up so hard that I gave myself a charlie horse in my calves!!! But, I can't stop now!!!

Argh! I am looking for beta readers but I need someone who has read the first two books in my series! Sigh...it is the series that hasn't gotten a ton of attention yet.

I always wanted to write under my own name...now, I am considering republishing my book under a different name, closing this account, and opening a new goodreads account. I am done with all of the negativity. All I ever wanted to do was write. And that is exactly what I am going to do. Enough is enough with the drama on the internet!

Hehe! It is after 4 a.m. here in Minnesota, and I have to be up at 8 a.m. but...I finished Book three in my series!!! Happy butt dance everyone!!!! YAY!!! Now, to do my edit of it, and get it beta read, and get it to the editor...But still, I finished writing the actual book!!! Happy butt dance!!!

Does anyone here read questionable books? Would you be willing to read a book about a 13 year old sneaking into a much older mans bed? I am trying to figure out if this "book" is acceptable for publishing according to Ammy's TOS...and I just don't know...This is for a friend of mine.

I am spending this night tweaking my Memoir...Let's just say, I have a roll of Toilet paper next to me, and I'm not afraid to use it!
If no one purchases even a single copy of this book, I will still be glad I wrote it. I can't say it is healing to write this book...but it is showing me how I view my life.

I am enjoying this book...I just wish I had the time to actually read it right now.

Createspace is down...that means what I can get done today is being reduced every minute...Sigh...I really wanted to be able to get all Five books done for a friend this weekend! Her birthday is soon and I wanted her to have a nice Birthday present (I am getting all of her books published to paperback and a few new ones done so she can finally release them).

Does anyone know what happened to Angela and ETA: Soon?

Oi...

The beginning was...a little painful, but now the books seems to have picked up pace and is moving along nicely.

I need someone to do a beta read for a memoir/poetry book. It is only 27K...

Wow...I have written 131 reviews on goodreads in the last year since I joined...That is just flat out amazing!

YES!!!! After I finish this book, the next SEVEN are part of the succubi series!!! I love Jill Myles!

HEHEHE....I have four more books before I get to my 'Jill Myles' succubus books! I can't wait...I loved the one succubus book that I read! So excited!

This started out as a very...umm...mild (?) romance novel. Now it is hinting at a much more interesting next half...

To everyone on my friends list. If you enjoy erotica and sci/fi, check out this author...Herbert Grosshans. I know I am only 39% of the way through my first book by him, but I am completely blown away by how good it is!

OMG!!! This is quite possibly one of the best erotica books I have ever read! It is a full length story (I don't know if there is a number two or not), it is full of steamy fun, and it has a very interesting story line! Sigh...WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO LATE?!?! I want to keep reading! And here I was worried by this authors lack of reviews...pfft! It's only because he hasn't been found!
