500 sure doesn’t seem like much compared to the big names out there. JKR has almost 2 million likes. I’m surprised it’s that low, to be honest. Throw me a like and I will return the favor! Spread the word and help make my crazy dream of being someone a reality!
Find the light like a little black cat

My little black kitty always finds the light. She loves to be in the sun. I guess we all need to find the light sometimes and just bask in it- no matter how small it is.
Chug, chug, chug!

Only a few more likes until I reach 400 on Facebook!! I should surpass JKR in the year 2751! Help a sister out??

Please check out my brand new author interview! I’m hi-larious! Oh and my books are pretty cool too. ❤ Happy Friday everyone!
Why yes I’ll examine you- book review requests accepted.

There are plenty of people out there that will review your book for FREE. Do not pay someone to review your book! Use Twitter to find sites for book reviews. This one alone has a shitake ton of reviewers! http://www.booktweetingservice.com/p/like-free-review.html
The one I chose answered right away. There are many resources out there- you just have to find them.
Twitter: Follow all authors in your genre. Follow all publishing houses and literary agents. Not only will you make friends, someone might actually remember your name if/when it comes up. Be genuine and friendly. It can’t hurt. 🙂 Plus you might make someone’s day!
If you’re a writer, THIS IS YOUR LIFE.

Sure it would cost and arm and a leg, but wow. Having a cup of strong French coffee on the balcony…. We can dream!
Excerpt from my new e-novella, The Appleton House
Image
I left my Caterpillar boots at the landing and I stripped off my dusty blue Whitaker Carpentry polo and threw it onto my bed.
Something moved to my right, on the sofa. “Hi.”
“Jesus Christ!”
“Oh, did I scare you?”
I scrubbed my face with my hands. “Sloan, what the hell are you doing in here?”
She stood and took a few steps toward me. The tight red, low-cut top she wore gave me a clue as to why she was there.
“I just wanted to make sure that you had everything you needed. You know, that you are comfortable.”
“I’m fine. You should go. Now.”
She frowned, then her eyes dropped to my bare chest then floated even lower.
“Hey.” I snapped my fingers. “Now.”
“Alright. I’ll bring you some fresh baked cookies later.”
“I’m on a diet.”
She shrugged and smiled slyly. “It’s part of our hospitality policy.”
“Hmm. Well maybe you could knock or something next time. Or you know, say something before I get half undressed.”
She looked to the floor for a moment then nodded. She stole one last look at me, descended the stairs then shut the door slowly.
For fuck’s sake, was she trying to get me thrown in jail? Not to mention fired from this job. As a ridiculous precaution, I went and locked the door. If I was going to get in the shower, I didn’t want some juvenile making sure I had clean towels or help wash my back.
A beer and some Family Guy and I was out like a light. I was happy to not find cookies on my nightstand in the morning.
