Thankful for YOU, dear readers!

I can't believe that it's been more than three years since I first started writing for Amazon and I now write for three different distributors, have readers entering contests to win a free copy of my book, and am writing under two different pennames because I needed to diversify because I've written so much!

I'm also extremely thankful for having such wonderful readers, who are so enthusiastic about interacting with me, encouraging me, and writing reviews for me!  It was the highlight of my day today when I checked on my newest release, Hebe: Little Amaya and saw that two people had already left reviews, unasked!!!!

In my personal life, this year has been up and down, which has occasionally made for stress when it comes to my writing deadlines, but doing the actual writing and seeing people's responses has been nothing but pure pleasure.  It has definitely made my life this year easier, especially when things are getting me down, to be able to go on facebook, my blog, or anywhere else, say what's going on, and receive such understanding and support from everyone.

Thank you all so much for being such wonderful fans and for keeping me going throughout the year!  I do love writing so much, but having a great audience is like making regular ice cream into a hot fudge sundae =)

I hope everyone in the US has a great holiday weekend and everyone outside of the US has a great weekend!!!!

New Dark Angel Release: Hebe - Little Amaya

I have another new release!

This one is only available on Amazon so that it can be read through Kindle Unlimited and is under my Dark Angel penname =)  It's the second book in the Planets Apart series and my first attempt at age-play!  I had a LOT of fun writing it and I hope you all enjoy reading it.  Let me know what you think!

Amaya has always felt deprived of a real childhood. Her parents were more interested in social status and their business than anything else, and she and her siblings were expected to fall in line. From watching her friends, Amaya knows her childhood wasn't normal and so when she reads about the prison planet Hebe where nonviolent criminals can choose to be sent, she's immediately interested. Hebe sounds like exactly what she wants - she can have a second childhood and still all the fun, sexy parts of being an adult.

Unfortunately for Amaya, she didn't read the fine print, and her new Papa and Nanny are much stricter than she ever imagined they would be. 

This book is approx. 45k words and contains spankings, age-play, lots of sex, paddling, caning, enemas, one stubborn little girl and one hot, alpha man with a soft spot.

Contest Winner & Stuff

Congratulations to Barbara Evans who won the drawing!  I put all the names of everyone who left me a review and sent me a request to be entered into a random picking generator... I think I'm going to start doing this more often, because it's a nice way to be able to give back a little to the people who write me reviews =)  I super appreciate the reviews any time... they really do make a big difference for any author, even if it's just a short line or two.

I'm glad everyone seems to be enjoying Bound to the Past!  I had a lot of fun writing it and trying to do something different with the whole "couple with bad breakup in the past get back together" story line.  And trying to do something different with Andrew's man-whoriness.  lol.

Right now I'm on the last chapter of my next Dark Angel book, the second book in the Planets Apart series, and that should be out later this month.  YAY!

Then I'll be diving straight into Lydia's Penance.  I'd really like to finish it and have it out before Christmas, but that might be asking a lot.  If not, it'll be out in January.

I'm still just super behind on everything... *sigh*  Trying hard to catch up though.

I'm working on about three other things behind the scenes too.  UGH.  At some point I'm going to need to slow down... I'm just not sure when.  LOL.  Really, I just need to get some things finished so that I can focus better.  Right now I'm all scattered.
