Pin ups

I have always been a fan of vintage pin up art. Gorgeous, voluptuous women being playful or seductive or just plain naïve. A year or so ago, I came across a wonderful new [to me] pin up named Hilda by Duane Bryers ... and I fell in love with her! I hope she brings as much joy to you as she does to me.

On the record ...

I recently did an interview for my Smashwords profile. Check it out here.

Joyous Holidays!

All my fiction titles are $.99 until December 31, 2014!

You can find them all at the Books tab on my Website, though some of the sellers are lagging a bit. They are definitely all available for $.99 at my Smashwords profile. Happy reading!

Simple joys

Waiting at a red light the other day, I was kind of daydreaming and staring off into space ... I was a passenger, so this was okay. Anyway, there were two women walking at a leisurely pace along the sidewalk, probably age fifty-five and seventy years or so. I looked at the younger woman, her expression was so stern, almost angry. I met her eyes with my own ... and smiled.

She smiled in return. The simple gesture transforming her face from average to lovely. Her features suddenly seemed animated and young, and her dark eyes sparkled.

The light changed and we drove on.

Her smile is still vivid in my mind days later. Such a simple thing. I smiled at her ... and she gave me joy. What a beautiful gift.

Release Date!

How Does Your Garden Grow?, Book 2 in the Bedtime Stories series, will release on Tuesday, May 20!

I am thrilled to introduce this beautiful couple to the world!

In the past, Mary has struggled to find a romantic connection with various men, but the chemistry simply wasn't there. After being dumped at dinner, she is invited by her long time friend to explore the possibility that there is a very valid reason for the lack of chemistry in her previous relationships.

How Does Your Garden Grow? is a short sexy tale of discovery. Come with Mary as she finds her very own extraordinary "pretty maid" among a field of ordinary "cockle shells".

Oh my!!

It's been a long time since I've posted here!! Many apologies to my one reader. Laugh!!

A little Monday musing ...

Eventually you need to look at yourself and decide whether you will stagnate in the cesspool or walk out of the shit and become the beautiful human you are. Today is that day. You can do it.

Finishing up a couple projects. Will return soon.

Mary, Mary ...

Mary Teak has struggled with relationships for years. When one date ends in a rather humiliating manner, her friend Brenna sets a plan in motion that will allow Mary to figure out once and for all the reason behind her contrariness. Here's a tiny snippet from "How Does Your Garden Grow?" Book 2 in the Bedtime Stories series:

Mary wasn’t certain what may have passed across her face, but this felt like an invitation for more than “girl time”. Her heart beat quickened at the intensity with which Brenna watched her. Her skin tingled and flushed with excitement, but she said what came to mind. “Girls night in?” 

“Yeah, something like that.” Brenna dug into the next treat — crème brûlée — and offered it to Mary, who opened her lips without hesitation this time. No lingering essence of Brenna’s mouth remained, but Mary could pretend it did.

“So are you simply foregoing the date and getting right to the good part?”

“I’ve never hidden the fact that I’m gay.” Brenna perused the desserts, then leveled her gaze at Mary. “I’m simply expediting you along the path to realizing that you are.”

Mary sat back. She opened her mouth briefly, then closed it without a word. No, she didn’t deny it, but she needed to ponder this for a moment. Or longer.

Oh, yes ... Mary does need to ponder. And Brenna will be a gentle guide as Mary embraces her true self.

This story is truly a joy to write, as so many are not living the lives we are meant to be living. Of course not all of us will discover that we are gay, but there are other discoveries that are just as life-altering. Careers change. Lives change. People change and grow. Embrace those changes or they will destroy you.

Branching out ...

It's been nearly sixteen years since a trip to the ER landed me in the hospital with a diagnosis to an illness no one could even pronounce:

Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

A Long Crawl: My Journey Through Guillain-Barre Syndrome was written in the months following my diagnosis and is now available for download in various formats and from several online sources:
Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Kobo to name a few.
