Eep.
Well, so much for blog posting once a month. But, I did get a lot more posts in this year than the year prior. 2018 isn't starting off so well either. My goals for 2017, however, were mostly achieved, and I even managed one short story release. Cue the Music arrived at the beginning of December, both as a single purchase and part of the anthology, Never Too Late. The anthology consists of 9 authors joining forces for stories about men and women older than 50 years of age keeping love, finding love, and discovering love across the spectrum of sexual identity.
Cue the Music:
Every relationship has had it at some point. The singular argument that escalates, that lingers. More often than not, the couple finds their way back to status quo. But what happens when they don’t? What happens when one gives up?
After months of trying to resolve their issues, Ty loses hope. He leaves, with only his music to keep him company. Until one day, he feels someone watching him intently from the bar. Maybe, just maybe, Ty won't end up alone after all.
Cue the Music is a stand-alone short story in the Southern Jersey Shores series.
And now, today in fact (February 1, 2018), I'm releasing my first self-published book. I'm blessed to say I had quite a bit of help, and I'd like to take a moment and just show you all how Cupid's Arrows came about and make thanks to these special individuals.
It all started when author Paula Wyant told me about an open call by Dale Lowry Cameron. Myths, Mayhem and Magic. Three protagonists, erotic, LGBT spectrum and of course, paranormal. A month of writing, a month of editing and off for submission. Unfortunately, I was not selected, so back to do a bit more editing. And with Valentine's Day looming, it was time. It took a bit until I came across the three arrows, and then Wulf Godgluck happily made my simple but perfect cover. He also formatted the story for me, and then , with a little trial and error, got it uploaded to Amazon Kindle. I need to add a shout-out of thanks to Wendy Rathbone for insisting on having me create an author profile, which I hadn't realized I didn't have.
So now, I present to you: Cupid's Arrows, book one of a new series entitled: Divine Connections.
Himeros wants what any God of Love wants: his disciples to be happy in love. When Eros comes to visit his sexually-charged modern-era bar, Himeros grabs opportunity with both hands. Arrows fly, and three best friends join, but the voyeuristic Himeros needs more. He coaxes Eros to follow, and once they secret the boys away, it’s time for a little show and tell.
