Surprise another blog. This is important though and I don't want others to convince me. I'm taking a time out from my Author Career. Don't worry my books are still available on Amazon you can still grab them. Now, if you are on Wattpad, Inkitt, and AO3 you saw my books disappeared from the spotlight completely. Truth is I'm wanting to do an overhaul of my books and have the control that I want. So, this is a warning that in two years time my older books may disappear for much newer books. The only one's that are staying is my Poetry book, all three Memoirs, and The Cookbook also the Anthologies that I am/was apart of.  I'm sure most are wondering where I've gone too since Wattpad is my home. It isn't anymore and hasn't been for several years. Being introduced to Archive Of Our Own earlier this year has changed my course for a new home of writing because the readers are actually what I like. They don't get on to me for Grammar and Spelling also th...

I'm asked this daily whether it is through Social Media or emails. It is a daily occurrence whether I want it to be or not. Truth be known, I have no inspiration anymore. Why? Because after years of being shot down for my own idea's, I've just left that side of myself, and hadn't recovered it. Now for idea's I have tons daily it is a matter if I want to write the story out or not. I've had people really question on my ability as an Author and why I do it? I do it cause it is something I love doing. My inspirations used to come from crushes, some porn, and other stories that I would read. Since A Coffee Shop Romance, I've given up on any inspiration for what stories should be. I do take my writing more seriously than I had before but I'm disconnected in matters that should matter. Inspiration is to help build these stories that I've loved doing for years but anymore it is like tossing a penny with hopes something reaches someone with my books. Can I g...

Let's give a writing update shall we? Writing Update:  Lesbian Café is on the move with 20k and going strong. I'm hoping to reach 50k with 50 Chapters though it might be a bit longer than that and may not make it to November for release like I hoped for because I'm a slow writer and I will literally think things through before writing it out. I am making progress, I should have been at 30k by now but due to personal life and addicted to Disney Dreamlight Valley has made it a little difficult. I'm making myself sitting here and write almost every day as long as my arthritis and pain levels can be manageable. What is holding me together? Iced Coffee, my other addiction. Actually it is mostly Cold Coffee's from the store most days when Larry isn't working to bring me home a Dunkin' Iced Coffee. I'm sure you are wondering what my next book will be after Lesbian Café once it is released. Honestly, it is hard to say because I have so many projects to do. I wan...

This blog is going to be a little unique. I'm known for promoting the shit out of my books like non-stop, it's the work of being an Author when you can't afford marketing, some of us can't even market our books to save our lives. So, in the beginning of my career, I learned that KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) has a way to do either Kindle Countdown Deal or Free Book Promotion. I'll explain what they are. Kindle Countdown Deal : Kindle Countdown Deals (KCD) allows authors to run limited-time discounts only for Kindle eBooks on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk Customers will see the regular price and the promotional price on the Kindle eBook's detail page. They will also see the countdown clock. This clock shows how much time is left to purchase the Kindle eBook at the promotional price. You will earn the selected royalty rate on each sale during the promotion. Note: If you're located in a territory not supported to purchase from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, you may...

I'm sure you all remembered when I said I would be working to make a living cause honestly, I hated being disabled and stuck at home all the time. Well, I went to work for McDonald's to only last on one day which was Monday, August 25th, 2025 to end up in tears because people are rude and as my neighbor adult boy said that they are assholes. Now, I know most would want to know what went down. As a disabled person I will break it down for you. 1. I can't take out trash heavier than me. 2. I can't mop and sweep because they are both heavy. 3. I was told not to be standing around, so I cleaned tables...my mistake not rinsing out washcloths properly (my bad). I did learn which one went into what bins for the cloths. 4. I had told them many times I have never worked a register or anything like that my whole life since I've been disabled and still am technically. 5. They ignored me when I said no many times on things I couldn't do.  6. I ended up towards the end of my...

I didn't think I'd have the courage to make a blog entry for this month but I have news to share, I know it'll get back to my ex (baby daddy) unfortunately. Don't worry I'm still writing and producing content but it will be slowing down immensely. It wasn't my life choice to begin with. Reality has set in that I am no longer Disabled through Social Security, it wasn't my choice or any warning, it just happened back in June then my last payment for July. Did I want this? No. Will I have to work? Yes. I will have to get a job and I'm in search of one cause I do have to take care of my teenager. Can I get Disability back? Yes, but I need a Paper Trail once again, I have to get back to seeing doctors and everything to get it all in order to prove of all my health conditions. Do I want to do this? Honestly, no, I rather work until my body says no more but that isn't my reality. As mentioned in a post several years back I do have a heart condition along wi...
