I had great news from my publisher Rebel Ink Press, this week. The short novellette I wrote for the “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” anthology released last October has been selected to be offered as a stand alone.
I’ll keep you posted as details are negotiated for release.
It is a fun male male erotic historic romance. You’ll find laughs and steamy sex.
Kudos to my former partner R.M. Kinore for her invaluable assistance during the revision process on this story. Truly, The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp wouldn’t have existed without her research skills.

Another movie daughter and I went to see was Mirror Mirror.
I LOVED it. I laughed. It did some wonderful things with any number of old cliche’s
I adored their take on Snow White, broke her out of the mold and gave her a “you go girl” spunk.
Julia Roberts was amazing as the queen. Casting her was a mark of genius.
The Dwarves, incredibly perfect concept for shaking up that old sterotype.
There were some pretty great costumes as well. But both my daughter and I left saying, what was up with that blue dress and the bright orange bow that Snow wore in the closing scene. ???
Yeah, that thing on her back…like wings? It is a bow.
And hey, what’s not to like about a naked prince. Well, not totally naked…but caught in his bloomers a couple of times.
My only, ehhh was that the prince was a bit emasculated in this role…I’m riding the fence a little on big picture impressions. He had some scenes that helped bolster his alpha image…but… well it’s a coin toss. I know it’s hard to have everything. Maybe there could have been better casting there.
I can’t say enough good about this movie. If you only go see one movie this month, make it Mirror Mirror.

Two things this week. Daughter and I went to the movies a couple of times this week.
Hunger Games! I have to applaud the marketing job that was done for the release of this movie. Books and merchandising leading up the the actual movie was PHENOMENAL!
You reached the apex and there was no choice but to go see the movie. Months ahead of time, trailers were out, action figure dolls, jewlery, posters, etc.
There is a cook book out, behind the making off the movie book with photos. We already knew and loved the world. The characters were already friends from the mass marketing thrust.
Symbolism that we could relate to. I mean who would not want to wear a mockingjay pin for good luck. Seriously. And I know where you can get one.
I saw this trend starting as much as 11 years ago with the beginning of the Harry Potter franchise. Marvelous job but a little bit response drivin. Twillite was a bit more timely with all the “extras” but pieces of it were still reactionary.
It was almost like they weren’t sure how big this was going to get and got caught a little surprised. Perhaps the conversation sounded a little bit like, this is getting out of control. That’s great what can we give them next.
Hunger Games? Well, a masterful job, the campaign was extremely well plotted. I am in awe. I can imaging the conversation here was more like, We are going to make this big, really Big, We can do this, and that. etc. I love the plan executed to perfection.
If I ever have a book make it big, I want Suzanne Collins’ publicist on my team.
Oh, yes and we loved the movie and the books. All the classic themes are there in a refreshing original, creative concept. Great job, Kudos Ms. Collins. You’ve been added to my fan girl list of mentors.

Today, I would love to hear from you guys. Tell me about something romantic that you’ve had someone do for you, or you have done for someone else….even something that you’ve heard about or read about.
This post I made about my son in law, has to be one of the most romantic things I’ve hear about for some time. Take a look back and see what that sweet man did for my daughter. HERE Of course, it talks about my wee little grandson also….LOL
When does love flourish and bloom, compared to withering on the vine for an almost ‘love’?
To tell you the truth, I can’t really think of a romantic moment that I’ve actually experienced first hand. Somehow that seems rather sad. I’ve thought about it for awhile preparing this post. I’m not sure if I’m just too mehhh at the moment to remember that special moment in the past. IDK I should keep a journal and write these things down… I could do it on the web and call it a web log…hummm weblog is very awkward… perhaps there is something better to call it… AH perhaps a wee blog. That would do. LOL
Remember, one lucky commenter is in the running for an E-ARC of “Raynia’s Magic” my new novellette.
Yeah, so this Crazy Day Job I have…also titled, “Random Ravings of a Twisted Writer”
I’ve shared with some of you my crazy day job. I am working, since black Friday weekend, for this shipper of all things in the name of American avaris consumption.
The first few weeks I was so exhausted I could hardly move. Think of standing on your feet for ten hours a day doing a series of motions involved with grabbing a product and printing it’s shipping label and then wrapping it how the computer tells you to package it and then throwing it on a conveyor belt. That’s the extent of it.
Over and Over and Over and Over again.
I had places that hurt that I didn’t know where places. The sad thing, at the moment, is…. after two weeks of wrapping larger items….my arms are hurting like bejeasus. I would be encouraged it they hurt because they are getting stronger and more in shape. Then, I would have hope, at some future point, that they would stop hurting. I fear that they hurt from plain old, over use. In which case….they are just going to hurt more.
I find ways to amuse my brain while I am doing this thought numbing repetitious labor. ***disclaimer, my insane internal dialogue is just that…. and in no way intended to add pain or distress to real agoraphobes out there****
I’ve shipped some interesting things. My day might begin like this… I pick up some odd … why the heck don’t you go buy this from Walmart…. item. (NEVER to be SAID OUT LOUD at the large shipping company that wants to take over the world of consumer consumption)
“Oh, my…. The agoraphobe needs batteries. I wrap pack and toss, all within 30 seconds for small items (45 for medium sized)
Pick up next item.
Oh, my the agoraphobe needs batteries and must be thirsty (case of bottled juice) ***god that shit is heavy****, wrap, pack and toss, or plop as the case might be.
Next
Oh, the thirsty agorophobe needs batteries, and a towel. Wrap pack and toss. This goes on for some time kinda like that kids song, “There’s a hole in the bottom of the sea”.
Oh, the thirsty agorophobe needed batteries, a towel…Oh hell, now I know why she needs batteries. I don’t ever think I’ve seen a vibrator that looks quite like that one… explains why she’s thirsty too.
Next, Humm interesting looking book on Anal sex…. Maybe the agoraphobe is a guy? That starts a whole new train of thought. Come on people, I’m an EROTIC romance writer, you have to accept that salient point.
Next, toilet paper, Hope they arranged same day shipping, can’t wait long for 12 frickin rolls of toilet paper.
They can read the book on anal sex while sitting and waiting for the toilet paper to arrive.
I can’t help it…my mind is a perverse playground of ascerbic wit and I have ten hours of mindless body distruction to survive.
I even shipped a product called, “Happy Penis”, cherry flavored.
next item, now this is really interesting.
I had an order that had several items, two or three books on being prepared for surviving the zombie apocalypse, a toilet seat that converts a five gallon bucket into … yeah, a toilet…This person take the zombie apocalypse seriously and is going to be prepared for the important stuff…no diggin a hole in the woods to poop in.
There was also toilet paper, turkey jerky (health conscious, zombie apocalypse **coughs into hand and mumbles** fruitcake) and last but not least a fluffy fru fru pastel colored, battery operated child’s playcenter music box thingy.
I had to pause on this one. What the hell? Zombie apocalypse books, turkey jerky, bucket toilet seat and paper along with this kids toy. Good grief, would I like to be a fly on the wall to check out this family.
That made me think more about Zombies and the whole concept of how to survive the zombie apocalypse. This place would be a great fricken place to stock up…not very defensible against Zombies though.
Humm Zombies, skin flaking…kinda like mine from all the dryness here. Hair stuck up in all directions….kinda like mine from sleeping on it wet cause I was so exhausted last night I didn’t dry it…..Zombies move with lurching steps…kinda like I do, these days… My arms hurt so bad. Zombies hold our their arms and they groan and moan indeciferable sounds….kinda like I do these days.
OMG, I’m a Zombie already

It is finally here. The Valentine’s Blog Hop. Take a look and visit with the hundreds of fantastic authors taking part in this weekend’s blog hop. Check it out HERE.
Valentines Day. There were many years I didn’t care much for the celebration of this day. Commercial, made up holiday that it is. Yet, somewhere in my heart is mushy romance that says awwww, lovers need a day to celebrate. Cupid’s arrow struck my heart and here I am, an erotic romance author.
I’ve been told that I am hedonistic, silly, ungrounded. I don’t think any of those words were meant in a flattering way.
Bottom line, I love honest and open, without reservation. Once I love it is unfettered and with complete abandon, my lover’s heart to mine.
I guess that is why when, love fails, and they take back their heart from mine….somewhere deep inside me there is a huge piece of imaginary velcro that sticks their heart and mine together. So, the loud velcro ripping sound….imagine that with pain attached, bone melting, soul shredding, rending pain as their heart rips from it’s special place near mine.
Ha, Didn’t mean for a post about love to turn to one of horror. LOL.
Thankfully my characters all face their blackest moment like the one above but survive it and come through the pain together with their lover, or lovers intact. That IS the wonderful thing about fiction. There are happily ever after endings. I require it to be so. LOL

Whew, what a day. I only have this one day off my day job. We are settling into a new apartment after a disastrous failed relationship that brought me to Chattanooga, TN.
We are in the new apartment, unpacking, settling in. There are so many things to replace that I had given away because my girlfriend had better etc…. now out on my own again…well I find the interest in having pots rather integral to survival.
We are mostly unpacked that his juncture. I love my new apartment. We are putting together the little decorative touches that make it homey. We have the pot rack up. Starting to find places for the art work. All of my clothes are hung in the closets. Yes…. I have two. I am FEM and love it, so, yet two closets are cool. My plants are on the balcony. I planted lettuce today. So, many little things to do that help make it home.
I was so excited to have “Raynia’s Magic” a novellette published by Rebel InK Press, released in February. It feels good.
I am still working a grueling day job. Many parts of my body hurt, all…the….time….
And while I am recovering from a tragically, awful…. failed relationship….again…. there is always hope. Hope for a brighter tomorrow, hope for renewed love, hope for happiness with someone who cares, and understands my quirky nature.
Thanks for being a reader, friend and listening. I hope you enjoy my writing. Check out “Once Upon A Twisted Tale” with my story “The Galloping Ghoul of Hockomock Swamp” and the novellette, “Raynia’s Magic” More to come. I have a couple of dragon shapeshifters that love one woman and want me to tell their story.
I will be blogging over at Sex Marks The G-Spot this month and also at Rebel Reasonings.
This evening, I broke my phone, blew out the power in my new apartment, ordered pizza for dinner cause…duha, no power….had to have the maintenance man come from GA to fix the power….. What a day. It was technically a day off work but I ran the live long day. Took my mom (she is in assisted living) and her dog on all their various appointments, tried to buy herbs to plant (they aren’t available yet), visited the bread thrift story, several trips to Ace Hardware, I think it is time for a shower…..lol
Come on over for a visit. Thanks for being a reader. I think it is margaritaville time. LOL
