“For the Woman of Rome 1” is Free for “Read An Ebook” Week on Smashwords March 1-7, 2026

Mar2

Hello to all of you, my readers. I am excited, because it is that time of year again. It’s “Read An Ebook” week. This year, I am happy to be giving you a special deal this week. I’ve made the first of the Erotic Roman Tales-FREE! You hear that right. I have finished this series and am happy to have you dive in with the first novella for FREE! I’ve also kept the next two novellas at the low, low price of just $0.99 each. I mean, a girl has got to eat. 😉

Here is the direct link to the book on Smashwords:

So, many of you may know or not, that Smashwords is a pioneer platform in self-publishing. It’s been around since the early ’00s. The platform has been running this promo since then to try to get everyone into and reading ebooks. I have tried to participate as much as I could, sometimes coordinating with other authors in the past. The pandemic has put a damper on a lot of my promos after. It’s just been a whole regrouping for a lot of people, including myself. But I am so very happy to be back into the swing of things, and to offer you all, this series starter title for this week.

If you’re not on Smashwords, it’s easy to get on it. Plus, it merged with Draft2Digital in 2022. They kept Smashwords for the storefront retailer, but moved all of the digital publishing to D2D. Which, was fine, since I was already there. I think the migration was better then when Createspace was migrated to KDP. Boy, I’ve been around. LOL

But anyhow, please enjoy the start of romantic erotic tale of Marcus and Cordelia. I have had a blast finishing it, and am so happy to have it wrapped up and ready for your reading pleasure. If you can, I’d appreciate any reviews or feedback either on Smashwords, Goodreads or here on the blog. I love to hear from my readers.

Until next time, remember, I write for your pleasure, and I’m happy to do so.

End of 2023 Reflection and Gift For Readers

Dec16

So, another year, another time to celebrate just being able to have the gift to write. It’s been a bit of a tough year for myself. I’ve had to deal with some personal issues, and put aside writing for a time. Before I knew it, a year has gone by while I’ve been dealing with all sorts of things. I literally broke my ankle in April, got Covid-19 in July, and then worked the Renaissance Faire nearby. Poof. Year gone. But also, I lost a very good friend in June, that gave me the chance to say good-bye to her before she passed. Like I said. Lots of personal issues, and sometimes as a writer, life sweeps you up and takes you away from the writing path. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t forgotten about my fans. My readers. You.

I’ve been adding bit by bit to the final story of the Roman Erotic Tales. Scene by scene, it is filling out to complete the series. I also worked with Marilyn Vix to finish a omnibus edition of our Thankful In Vegas series. If you’d like a spicy gambler romance in Vegas, please consider a purchase. It is a great contemporary read for anyone that likes a bit of action and mysterious secrets. I enjoyed working with Marilyn on it, and I don’t know, maybe we’ll do another collaboration soon.

Meanwhile, I’ve set up a free promo on Smashwords for my Holiday short story that is popular at this time of year. If you want to get into the Holiday spirit, it’s a great hook-up erotic story. I had fun writing it back when I had my mojo going. SO, please, enjoy a gift from me for this Holiday season.

I’m looking forward to getting back into more writing next year. It just turns out 2023 was not a year that I could really produce what I wanted to. Life happens. But with my ankle now mended, and hopefully, more of a safer and less flood filled winter, I’ll be able to get back into the swing of writing again in the next few months. Of course, I’ll keep you updated through my blog.

Thank you again for sticking with me. I write for your pleasure, and good things always come to those who wait. 😉 Wait, that sounds like a great title for my next story. Hmmm….

Happy Holidays!

New Year’s Eve Giveaway in Smashwords Store

Dec26

Greetings everyone. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the upcoming new year. As a New Year’s and Holiday Gift, I’ve made available my Christmas/Holiday erotic romance short, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” on Smashwords. I’m only going to have limited titles in the Smashwords store, and this will be the first. Many of my other titles are already available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. So, I don’t feel the need to list them all there. But I thought a nice gift would be to start with this title as a gift for my readers.

Here is a run down of the story:

Theresa had decided to stay home for Christmas.

Who needed the family stress? She was going to be the tough, singleton on her own.

Then, he called.

Nick was home for the Holidays too. Why not get together for a little Christmas cheer? Turkey and cranberry sauce always tastes better when two are sharing a meal together. Or when it’s shared on each other. Theresa gets the best gift a girl could want. A man that wants her on Christmas Eve, and she can’t get enough. Nick unwraps her slowly, giving her something Santa never could.

I do like the way that Smashwords can make available multiple formats or just epub, which is best for most ereading formats. If you wish it for mobi, the Zon’s format, it is still available at Amazon for $0.99. Hey, I can’t make it free everywhere. A girl has got to eat. 😉

My giveaways of the past are likely going to fade away since between the pandemic and going wide with my titles, it’s not as cost affective to give away a lot of free titles. But every once in a while, I’ll likely put something up, like this title. It looks like Smashwords will be a great retailer to offer free giveaways through without a cost to myself. So, please follow and check back. Maybe I can see if other erotic and erotica writers would be interested in joining forces again and offering giveaways next year. We’ll have to see how it all pans out. But you know, the world gives you a pandemic and you just have to pivot.

Plus, if you’d like to try out an erotic romance, please try out Marilyn Vix’s title, “Love in One Act”. It’s a bit steam punky and Victorian, all with an erotic theme. It’s her offering for all of her followers and new readers this Holiday season. It is also available for free at Smashwords for a limited time. She’s my co-author for the series “Thankful in Vegas”.

Buy Link

***All deals end Jan. 1, 2023.

Here’s a few words about Marilyn Vix’s title:

Elizabeth Bonicetti, a Victorian London actress, is propositioned by a young man, Mr. Lionel Conner, to be his first, and to teach him the finer points of love to be ready for his new wife. Trying to not let her feelings get in the way, she is determined to teach the “lessons” without becoming attached. But she can’t help but fall for the young Airship captain. Determined to keep their relationship temporary, she continues with the “lessons” until their final consummation in which he reveals his secret. Can she still except him after this revelation? Or will she reject him for the secret he refuses to reveal.

Marilyn has a few more titles available on Smashwords than I do since she’s been around a bit longer. I take my hat off to her for all the initiative and inspiration she’s given me. It’s been a pleasure writing with her the last few years. You’ve got to check out her “Never Marry A Warlock” series. It’s a definite different take on the paranormal, Vegas style.

So, I wish the best for you and your family this Holiday Season. Best wishes for the New Year, and may 2023 be a triumph of a year for us all. Happy New Year!

New Holiday Erotica & Erotic Rom Giveaway and UPDATE

Dec17

Greetings and happy holidays! What a difference a year can make. I hope you are well and have faired through this whole COVID pandemic safe and sound. It has been a tough year for any creatives. With writer’s block, lockdowns, and moving, I’ve felt beat down and uprooted over the last few years. But I’m starting to feel like I’m picking myself up again, and moving a bit forward. I’ve been working on new projects, and even set up a Holiday Giveaway for you all.

I have had to rethink my brand, operating costs, and have made some changes. So, I’ve got some announcements. Firstly, I’m going to be running future giveaways through my blog mostly since it costs a lot to maintain my newsletter list since it ran over the free limit. I might pick it up again if I’m able to move to a new service, but for now, I thought why don’t I just do announcements on my blog, and let people know to sign up there to keep following along for great new authors.

Second: I’ve been working on finishing the “Thankful in Vegas” series with Marilyn Vix. The last installment will soon come out around Valentine’s Day. This will be great since the full story arc will be done through the 3 novellas, and they will be put together into one omnibus that will have a print edition. It is a little different than I’ve written before, romantic suspense with a hot, sizzling factor. It’s also been great writing with Marilyn and supporting each other. So, look for that soon.

So, without further adieu, I’ll close my summary of progress this year with the link to the new giveaway. There are some new authors to check out with a Holiday theme present. You’ll be able to download the files for free at Prolific Works. It’s my gift to you for sticking with me. My Holiday short: “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” is featured in this giveaway.

That is about it. I do wish for you a fabulous New Year and Happy Holiday season. I’m looking forward to getting back into this pen name and doing the book release with Marilyn Vix in February. Also, I’ll be putting together more giveaways next year. SO, make sure to follow my blog, and may you have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season. See you in 2022.
