“Get Branded”, my newest story, is set to hit the cyber book shelf at Cobblestone Press on February 1st — just two weeks away. “Get Branded” is an erotic, 9k contemporary story for Cobblestone’s Wicked Line. Jimmy Thomas, romance cover model, is on the cover twice.

Teaser:

For Christy Walken, attending a romance reader’s convention is sheer torture. When she wins the grand prize—a date with romance cover model, Declan Brand—she ends up with more than just dinner and dancing. She not only loses her heart, she has the pictures and video to prove it.

Until next time–

Excitement abounds in my house! I’ve just signed a contract with Cobblestone Press for their Wicked Line for my hot contemporary erotic 9k story, “Get Branded”.

Here’s a blurb:

“Attending a romance reader’s convention with her sister wasn’t Christy Walken’s idea of fun. Neither was winning the grand prize: dinner and dancing with romance cover model Declan Brand. But when her date turned into a deliciously wicked tryst with Declan in his hotel room—video included—Christy had already fallen for the real man hidden behind the public façade.”

A particular image of romance cover model, Jimmy Thomas, was the inspiration for this story. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to having Jimmy on another of my book covers.

I’ll keep you all updated on the progress of edits as well as the upcoming release date.

Until then,

Kaye

I took the plunge into the crazy world of NaNo again. I think this is my fourth year. My first NaNo endeavor (several years ago)  didn’t result in reaching the 50k mark, but the last two consecutive years, it did.

As of last night, my word count was 14,331. This is about 4,000 words below where I should be, but since I work best under the looming menace of the EDS (evil deadline spechter), I’m not worried…

…yet.

 

Until next time…

You may have noticed, but this isn’t Sunday and this isn’t the blog topic I’d planned to post had I been able to post on Sunday.  This is what my day looked like:

1. Noon to 1 pm: Unable to connect to my blog because of fatal error that exceeded maximum time of 30 seconds.

2. 1 pm to 5 pm: Assisting daughter with an assignment in her MA mathematic’s program.

3. 5 pm to 6 pm: Refer to #1.

4. 6 pm to 7 pm: Break for supper.

5. 7 pm to 9 pm: Edit oldest son’s essay (he’s in a BA nursing program).

6. 9 pm to 10 pm: Get myself ready for work on Monday morning.

7. 10 pm: Refer to #1 AGAIN.

8. 10:15 pm to 5 am: Stare at the ceiling and slip slowly into madness as only a professional insomniac can do.

Monday

9. 6:30 am to 6 pm: Work, work, work at my day job.

10. 7:30 pm to 8 pm: Attempt to upload an image to this blog post…AND TIME OUT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

On top of the periodic fatal error timing-out issues, my WordPress will not publish pre-written blog posts on a schedule so planning ahead isn’t possible. I’ve tried every which way I know how to remedy this glitch and haven’t succeeded yet. To top that off, every time, I mean, EVERY SINGLE TIME, I update to the newest version of WordPress, the update literally eats my plugins and widgets and I have to reinstall them.

I’ve gone round and circles with my web hoster (and my internet provider) regarding these issues and they tell me it’s my problem and I’ll have to get into the code and change the php settings and some other mysterious tech nerd settings that I don’t understand…and have no interest or desire to understand. The technical department personnel have repeatedly assured me that they don’t do that sort of work and I’ll have to hire someone to do it for me because after all, the issues are on my end and not theirs.

Pssst.

I should change web hoster (can’t do anything about my internet provider), but I can’t deal with the tech-related hassle. I barely manage the dysfunctional one I have now.

Apparently blogging on a schedule isn’t the best plan for me, so I’m giving myself permission to blog…well, when I blog. If I don’t eliminate some of my self-imposed stress, I’m going to look like all the time instead of just on Mondays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until next time…whenever that may be…
