Just dropping by to say hi and hope you are doing well :D:D  Love the cover of your new book.  Look like someone is in "trouble"  LOL

is this book completely published here?? all chaps

I've been busier than a one-armed paper hanger with my day job - right now I'm adapting some erotic romance into a game script, so I have spent more time writing about sex this week than a brothel owner ;) 
          
          My next "work" won't be seen here, though - I think I need support from a publisher on this one, so off it goes on its submission rounds. 
          
          That's the thing about self-publishing. You can't just slap it up. It needs editing, it needs a good cover, it needs to be formatted. With my short stories, I can handle or pay for all those things, but I've experimented with self-publishing novellas and I've concluded for now that readers get the best value from me when I work with a team.
          
          Anyway, wish me luck? I'm going to need it :D

Happy Friday, everyone! To celebrate my getting off my ass and putting a new short story up for sale, I've posted a BIG sample of it here for you gorgeous people. I hope everyone's in a little bit of a naughty mood.

Hello, and thank you to my new friends!

Welcome, new friends. I posted a note asking how you all felt about samples during the height of the technical troubles last week, so I'm not sure if anyone saw. Would you be so kind as to scroll down to the post below this one and share your thoughts? I'd be very grateful.

Greetings, friends! I'm hard at work on a novella that I'll be submitting to publishers, and doing the final edit on the next short story in the Morning After series. I'll be self publishing that, and I was wondering...how do you all feel about it when writers post samples (about 25% of the story) to Wattpad but ask that you buy the rest in order to know how it ends?
          
          I don't want to upset anyone here, especially the people who've been so kind and given me so much helpful advice. But dog kibble isn't free and I need to earn a living, so I'm trying to find a happy medium.
          
          Let me know what you think I should do!

I'm so grateful for the reads and votes :) Getting back to fiction writing after a five year hiatus has been nerve wracking, and you've all made this so much easier. Thanks to everyone.
