Privacy Of Writing

-
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 want the world to see including my older books and the incomplete projects. 

I'm NOT removing books from Wattpad, Inkitt, and WeInk. Also NOT removing books from Amazon. But, most of my personal works are gonna be on Archive Of Our Own. I feel it is safe, more welcoming, and freedom for myself without the bullying, shaming, and so much more. 

My world of books are my own. I can write at my own pace. I can release certain books if I want. I'm going to be the Story Teller that I was meant to be all along. 

Thank you to my continued readers for powering me through and showing that I'm good at what I do. 

Happy Reading and Writing!

Coffee & Romance

-
I started a new book recently. The cover isn't new but the description is. It is one I believe my readers are excited for because not only isn't available on any writing apps like literally none. I have taken it and made it unique. I will admit, I did take it from another writer (he hasn't published since 2016 and last update was in 2022.) Don't worry the book has my own taste and it is at a much slower pace. I'm actually proud of myself especially with the twist from his story.  Love Over Coffee by Tobias Jarrett Link:  https://www.wattpad.com/story/202923962-love-over-coffee As you will read from it, it is rushed and the characters don't know each other. As my lovely husband called it a hardcore lesbian porno. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not shaming my ex-best friend for the story because well it has gained so much traction on Wattpad and it isn't finished. You are probably wondering where I am going with this...yeah, I knew that was coming. I was...

Proving My Worth

-
I am done, I AM SO DONE.  I am a people pleaser just like my best friend Ashley Mohler aka W.A. Ashes  I have followed, heard, listened, and have accepted more than enough times to prove that I am worthy of being an Author. I have rewritten Jana & Angel's story that I have just accepted that they have no happy ending, you get what you get. I am done writing Series' to the point that I have no end result to completing them. Don't get me wrong I am writing, I have books in the works but I have brought back all my books to Amazon because you know who should be proud of them? ME! I have worked so hard day in and day out to keep readers into my stories. My younger audience appreciates my books more than my actual fan base and that shows a lot of who I reach in readers.  Yes, my books are 18+. I do have a few clean romances but you know what should be more important is following my own heart and writing my books, my own way.  So, as of August 2024 all of my books are o...

Clean Romance Is The Way To Go...

-
I'm allowed to write in any shape or form as an Author, am I known to slip in Mature content? Oh yeah, most of my books are spicy, not like over the top but they are. What has changed my mind fully? The fact is that I am done over the sexual content in reading material that anymore I just skip over it or see no use for it, not unless I am reading Gay or Lesbian Romance. Truthfully, when I was writing clean romance for like A Coffee Shop Romance (Best Selling Book in my name, least I believe so) and Keeping Her A Secret Sacred Heart Series: Book 1, I felt better in my writing journey, I felt no pressure to put sexual content into my material. The dramatic scenes are never going away that is just how I write and my readers live for it. All I am saying is as me and my best friend W.A. Ashes aka Ashes discussed many, many, many times over their just isn't enough clean romance in any genre that I am aware of, I don't read Horrors or Thrillers, not my thing. But like in the Roman...
