It will be a double blog day.  I'm honestly loving writing blogs instead of posting video's of myself.  I do get asked this question a lot especially from Promoters, Book marketers, Readers, and fellow Authors. I'm bombarded daily with my career since releasing more content. What can say an Author with 30 books is a huge achievement.  What really began my writing journey? Poetry. I met my ex best friend Sheila (Tobias) Jarrett through AllPoetry. I didn't know how to write Poetry well to be honest. I still don't to be fair. My Poetry book that I've shared with the world isn't the most glamourous of my world of works. It shows truth behind who I am and what made me write to begin with.  When did stories come into play? Honest answer after moving to StoryWrite is where I began writing my book Clinging To Love, my Dad encouraged me to write short stories at first. So, I would write a bunch of small stories and had reached readers. It was my real taste of writing...

I feel like since the loss of my mother in law Allison it has become a rocky road of emotions. Like I mentioned before, we didn't see eye to eye because I don't drink often and I don't like cigarettes as I'm highly allergic from the ashes. Yes, it is that serious. I'm also a heart disease patient so any thing that is bad for me can do damage to my heart if I'm not careful. Her result that day for me having a bad breathing attack cause of my heart was Benadryl. Was it wrong? No. But that wasn't going to cure me at all. It wasn't allergy related. Her home was permeated with smoke like my Grandparent Kissel's side was. I couldn't stay long around people who smoke for my own health reasons. I have somehow offended by not being able to stay in her house that day. She also denied Xia water that same day after me and Larry went to have lunch. Our biggest regret was leaving our kid with her without knowing what was gonna happen. I mean my ex sister in la...

I saw this from another friend's blog. I'll be honest, I have shared my list many times over the years. My Goodreads Group has my latest one but I never shared it Publicly and also I have a huge list. I'm a lover of books since I could read. I'm sure you all would appreciate a light hearted post from me as my last few probably sounded like I'm stressed beyond words and truthfully, I am. I'm overwhelmed, exhausted, and running on little to no fumes to get through day to day. So, with that being said here is my list. W.A. Ashes K.D. Hilt Angelina Kerner L.D. Wosar Jason Blayne Cassandra Jones Hayden Robinson Meg Cabot Marissa Meyer Richelle Mead Sherrilyn Kenyon Rachel Renee Russell J.J. Arias A.M. Knight (I miss your stories) Marie Morgan (I wish you would return and publish) Alice Oseman Rick Riordan Jacqueline West Vivi Anne Hunt (wattpad stories) Patrick Greenwood  Joann Lee Sue Lynn Tan Kelly Creagh Ann M. Martin Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat  Mari Mancusi Lau...

I've been with Archive Of Our Own for a month now or least close to it. I have gained amazing readers. My hits are nearing 200 and climbing daily. It's more so than Wattpad and Inkitt. WeInk some books are popular but not many. Now, I don't have many subscribers since starting but I'm not worried, I have grown my own subscribers for me with my friends in that close nit world.  Most of my Series' aren't popular across platforms. I get that and well, they don't sell on Amazon much on Amazon except when I did Audible back at the end March into April. Do I think this will be worth it? Maybe. Maybe not.  As an Author though this gives me Privacy and I can invite who I want to read my stories on AO3. I wish I was on AO3 before but I thought it was just for FanFics, boy was I wrong. I do still plan to keep Publishing, I have other works that I want to share with the world but otherwise, I think I'm keeping a safe space to just write stories that I don't wan...

I have always been an outcast all my life. I live in the shadows of those who don't like me. A recent experience back at home in Florida (my home state) and then a few years ago here in West Virginia (my safe place/home)  has proven that I don't reach anyone standards. Being surrounded by hate, being left behind, and so much more has proven that I am a nobody while my sweet husband and my adorable teenager are more important that they are people. A few years back in 2023, his family came up to West Virginia for a Family Reunion that was great. We got to love New River Gorge in a new light. It's a gorgeous place especially the campground. Anyways, first day was fine, I had a good healthy day and got to enjoy some hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner that first night before coming back to our own area. Now the second day was a cluster fuck to say the least. I can't swim at any lakes due to my sensitive skin (Psoriasis) I get all sorts of tingling feelings and I get charlie h...

Any new readers to this blog, I want to say WELCOME ! Now let's begin today's topic before I forget what I want to vent about. Now most know my history or maybe it is all that pay attention to what I deal with. Anyways, as I disrespectfully enjoy putting those in their place it has come a time to where I'm standing my ground.  I'm currently on a new Writing App to display my books for the joys of new readers. I love doing this and have for years. I'm not going to bash the App in case anyone is coming to this to expect that. Actually, no, I want to say this for any Indie Author/Writer out there take advantage of WeInk App and their Writing Portal. Why? Because they have a special editing program that does help. Now, I'm only using the App for it's intended purposes and will go back and fix what is needed.  You are probably curious of what books I have to edit for approval or have fixed for approval. Here is the list: A Girl For Her Series Volumes 1-3 (complet...
