Monday, January 13, 2014
Whoot whoot!
I have published another story on Amazon. This time it’s a short story, titled “A Secret’s Hunter”

A nice little blurb to wet your appetite:
Alan is immortal, born in a time of mistrust and hatred. Even now, hundreds of years later, there are those that despise him and hunt him as a freak of nature, an experiment.
Now, as a behind the scenes CEO of a medical research company, he is on the brink of changing history, when in walks the woman of his dreams, Josceline. Everything he could want in a woman and he’s finally ready to pursue her. Only trouble is, someone is watching him, threatening to tear down his carefully built façade.
Can he protect her and keep his secrets safe?
Very excited at this piece of news. It just got old, waiting for someone to want to publish my story’s, to get the green light from some publishing company with no face. Doing it on my own feels better and I’m more in control. Though I don’t have the PR backing, it’s okay. I can do this
I also have an Author Page live on www.Amazon.com if you want to check me out:

It’s not done yet, (the page) but I’m working it slowly and surely.
This is going to be a fun ride.

Finished
So the other day I finally finished critiquing one of my stories. The rush is always the same when you finally finish a piece of work you’ve poured your heart into. To put that final dot on the page, type THE END and save it all. Sure, there is still some work to do, a few touches here and there, but the meat of it, the main course is done. I feel good about it, happy to see that story put to bed. Now, I can move onto other things.
I still have lots of stories to go, working on a big one right now. But that’s okay. My mind seems to be suffering from ADHD, so I can get a bunch of things done and it seems like it took no time at all.
Okay, that was exaggerating but it’s how I feel.
So, I may make a video for this latest book, post it on here and see what people think. Need to get to work on finding photos and some ideas on what I want. Put the synopsis up with the video so people get an idea of what’s going on.
Time to celebrate!

New Story
The story in critique is departure for me, both in style and hero status. Normally, my heroes are very macho, very alpha. I like it, but sometimes, you want the loner; the one who doesn’t fit in with the crowd, who leans against the wall and watches. You know, the shy guy, the one who doesn’t really talk, but when he does, your knees melt and when he smiles…it’s over. The style is different in that the POV is going to be mostly his. I read romances and I love them. But there are times when I’d like to read what the hero is thinking, how he’s handling the situation. I know how the heroine is going to handle, usually when you read you are her and she is you. But for me, I wonder what the man is doing, how he’s taking a situation. So, that’s my basis for this story. She still gets to talk, but this is really his story, his love. Another departure is that it’s a short story. I go for novels. Books that consume you in their length and depth and drawing it out until you are begging for it to never end. Not this one. I wanted to get to the point and still have you wanting more. It’s how I roll.
There is no blurb for this book, but I’ll give you a little background. The story premise is that Alan, the hero is an immortal living in secret. He meets Josceline at work and falls for her, hard. Josceline feels the same way, but Alan’s got secrets and he can’t tell her. He wants to protect her, keep her safe from the past and what’s lurking there. Too late, he realizes that he can’t protect her, not from what’s coming and in the end, he might lose her anyway.
There, does that tease you? Make you want more? Certainly hope so.
