I know, I know it's my release day and a blog should be the last thing on my mind.  I wanted to pass along some important information because I refuse to put it in my books when releasing them.  Books Series from this point forward will only be on AO3. Why? Because I don't have to make covers and spend so much effort in perfecting myself to be a mold for the Public eye. You know how stressful that is? As an Author, yes, I want to release many, many, many books but reality is I need to separate myself from my career at times.  Stand Alones will keep being Published that is my new career goal is to release Short Stories, Novellas, and Novels for the world. I don't want to be held back anymore. Pull my hair if you must but if you want to read my continue Series then you need to join Archive of our Own aka AO3 or read Publicly they are available. I turned off comments and made the books Public several months ago.  Here is my username: LesbianJuliet  For those that w...

I'm not going to lie I've had a hard time focusing between reading and Dreamlight Valley, I'm not able to contain excitement for my gaming world mostly.  Lesbian Café is well on it's way to being finished with 11k to go but the goal is still 50 Chapters. The story is evolving and makes me feel a little lighter. Once I get Lesbian Café officially onto Kindle for those that have Pre-Order then it is off to work on my next book but as always I have so many I want to work on at once. You are probably curious.  Fame & Prayer Sacred Heart Series: Volume 2 (it's been delayed many times) Shay's Burning Desire (backburner since 2017) Pirate Princess Gothic Princess & Angel Series: Volume 4 (new title) Nashville Princess (random title) Scarlett & Angel A Girl For Her Series: Volumes 4 & 5 (planned double release) Beginning Of Hope Fate Of Her Path Series: Volume 3 (final installment) Happily Ever After 2 Softness & Darkness: Volume 2 (major delay in th...

I swear I will hear about this one because of the title. It isn't what you think, trust me. It is so much more. A final release for 2026 with only one book, who am I kidding? I mean, yeah, it would be smart. Thing is with writing Series' especially small one's from 5-15 chapters with about 10k-15k word count isn't that hard and my joy of cliffhangers. It is a matter of writing stand alone whether Novella length or Novel length is my issue.  Now, don't go questioning if I love writing. I do. It's one of the best parts of my career as long as I'm not getting torn all to hell because of my personal life. Yeah, that's the real stick in the mud. I did finally learn to turn off comments for AO3 (Archive of Our Own). Thank goodness because I can't turn them off on Wattpad, Inkitt, GetInkspired, and aJoara. WeInk doesn't have comments open at this time.  So, you are probably wondering what I mean by maybe I can't? I am meaning that I won't be abl...

Not what anyone wants to read, I know.  I'm doing this for a reason. Lesbian Café will be my final release for a long while. I need time to reset and restart. Not restart my career, oh no, I have a lot of reality to fix. Get back on Social Security, see doctors for my heart disease, and maybe find a way to get my pain under control. Also see a foot doctor on getting my toes fixed. Along with getting more teeth removed to have dentures. Is the choice I want? No, I would rather be home writing, reading, and gaming.  I can't be here for everyone if my health is declining it isn't smart and I've been delaying it since my hubby worked AWP. I had stop seeing doctors all together because his job was more important. Was it smart for either of us? No, but at the time he was constantly threatened to be fired. So, my health has and always have been pushed aside.  As for writing, I'm still going to be writing my Series', my memory is slowly starting to remember what the boo...

It is long over due. The bullying and harassments and shame have ended. It is time step into the spotlight once more with books that need to be completed. Out on the market and ready for the world to see. Will it be successful? Eh, maybe. I haven't done major book releases since 2020.  What am I planning? All Writing Apps and Amazon will be seeing tons of new books. Yes, this will cause delays once more of other books. And, no I'm not sorry for this either. Cause it has caused me to feel ashamed and not wanting to produce books that should've been released by now. My Series' should've been nearly completed by this point. Yet here we are.  So, no, I'm no longer hiding. I'm no longer standing down. And I'm not taking any more shit. To be honest, I don't care if anyone never picks up my Series' they aren't for you, they are for ME! I wrote them, I made them, and I will always be proud of them.  2026...here comes major releases! Here comes buying...

I know what a way to start a blog... Hear me out for a bit. Most of us Indie Authors are called lazy, living off the government, complaining about things we have no control over, and those that judge us cause we supposedly are not liking the hands that feed us. Not all true.  I can tell you something about me. I was never lazy actually if I had a choice I would work a 9-5 job or in this case 8am to 4pm because I like mornings into afternoons. I used to be an early bird, oh, did I love getting up at 4am-6am to start my day, enjoy my coffee, and get to my daily routines.  Living off the government wasn't my choice it was more my Dad's because I was too stressed to handle anything including Education. It wasn't healthy having a heart disease and try to live life normally, not everyone can. I'm currently on SNAP to keep food in the house and I have to fight back for my SSI, SSDI, and Medicaid that I have. Yes, I do legally have Medicare help through the state because I'...
