Why I like Reviews

Playing on ipod - Mama by My Chemical Romance

I don't necessarily like reading my reviews, but I got one today that had me cheering and yelling, "Yes! Yes! Yes!". Here's a snippet from the review at Nightowl for Lick of Frost:

In this story, we once again visit the Trevlian family, a wonderful group of hot alphas with green eyes. The story and plot were great and the villains curse on the heroine was really interesting although his defeat in the end fell flat.

As someone that doesn't have a crit partner (or didn't...love ya, Cari!) I knew the ending was too quick! I asked my Mom about it (the only proofer of my stories) and she said she liked it just fine, but deep down, I knew...

Things like this will force me to improve as a writer, and I'm thankful for the direction. So Reese at Nightowl Romance, thank you! Next time, I'll work it better.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Firsts

The other day I had the pleasure of reading this story.

A-maz-ing!

The hero, Thorn, rocked my socks. I just love an Aussie!

If you like your erotica hot and sticky sweet, don't miss this one. Oh, and that Rosalie Stanton chick is a pretty cool cat! So you're supporting a great cause! *grin*

Le Blurb...

Savannah is looking at entering college as a virgin. After getting her heart shattered by one of the high school’s notorious playboys, she turns to her best friend, Thorn, and implores him to help her solve the tiny problem of her virginity.

What she doesn’t know is Thorn has been in love with her since the second he laid eyes on her, and asking him to touch what he can’t have is nothing less than torture. After succumbing to her advances, Thorn makes it his mission to convey everything he hasn’t been able to put into words into touch, hoping Savannah will feel in his hands and mouth what she has never seen in his eyes.

Firsts is available at Loose ID.

***WARNING, Unprofessional blog, straight ahead!!!***

So much for taking the high road, for being professional and calm. I have to bitch or risk blowing up...

I just found a request on a certain pirating site (get Google Alerts) for Crimson Moon. Since the full-blurb is attached to the request (from my webpage), it's obvious cheap-ass reader knows it will be available from The Wild Rose Press in August of 2010. It's not even out yet, and the piracy begins!

Seriously, this makes me want to pack it in and stop writing. I know people say "don't let it phase you", but Lord help me, it does.

To the person requesting said book - you absolutely disgust me. When you get your free copy (which I have no doubt you will when it's in e-book format) I hope you choke on it.

Until then...

Peace.

Playing on the ipod - In the House, In a Heartbeat

First, I'm trying to get in the mood to write. Dealing with these pirating bastards has ruined my flow. That is why the NaNo counter is gone. I won't make the 50k. My goal now is to finish my story and hope those that were interested in criting it won't mind doing so when I finish (which I hope will be in December).

Now, as for that "ouch" thing... (warning, adult material below!)

I just finished up a super delicious erotica that I loved, but there was one scene that had me cringing and screaming, "Vajay-jay abuse!"

One vagina + one penis = A-Okay.

One vagina + two penises = YEOWCH!

Has anyone else read a menage like that? What did you think? I've read tons of erotica with front and rear exit lovin', but never two in one pocket, if you know what I mean.

Surreal...

I'm holding a book in my hand, and just inside the flash fiction anthology is my story Redemption. I cannot even begin to describe how it feels, to cradle a weight in your palm that isn't entirely another's creation but your own. Even cooler? My story is the very last one readers will see.

Sorry, just had to share. I'm carrying the blasted thing around like it's the Holy Grail.
