Two New Stories Coming Up!

I've already mentioned Training Will, which I have now re-named Personal Assistance, as I thought that was more appropriate.  Here is the final cover:

And here is the thumbnail:



And here is the cover for my latest story, Do Not Disturb:


And here it is in thumbnail:


It will probably be the first one out, hopefully by this weekend (I know, I keep saying that).  I'm going to try to get Personal Assistance out this weekend too, but since this is my first time actually uploading, and there are five sites I'll be uploading it to, it will depend on how hard it ends up being.  As soon as the stories go live, I'll post here with the blurbs and links.

After I get these two out, I'll try to get  Sexting and Personal Display of Arousal out by next weekend, and then start on some new shorter stories.  It should be an exciting week!

Test Cover for "Training Will" (temporary post)

Below is my test cover for "Training Will," another short story I am working on.  This post will be a temporary one, just to get some opinions on the cover.  PLEASE NOTE:  This is just a mock-up.  I have not purchased the stock photo yet.  So the pic I used was a small, low-resolution one, which is why it is small and may appear fuzzy, and has a watermark on it.  Once I decide I want the picture for sure, I will take down this mock cover post and purchase the original stock photo, and do the cover properly.

Cover for "Public Display of Arousal"

This is the cover of my latest story, which I will be uploading by the end of the weekend.  If all goes on schedule with no formatting problems or Amazon delays, Public Display of Arousal should be available by Wednesday, September 7.  [Um...yeah...so I guess I'm still working on it.  ;-)  It's still coming, but I have another story due out before that one.]


And here it is in thumbnail:



Public Display of Arousal is a "vanilla" erotica story, no kink, just steamy seduction and a sex scene that will curl your toes!  It's about a woman who decides to give her husband an anniversary dinner he'll never forget.  There's more to the story, but that's it in a nutshell--I'll have the final draft cover and the blurb posted as soon as the story is uploaded.  It will be a longer story or possibly novelette length.

For those who are wondering, Sexting (which is an erotic romance novella) is still coming.  I'll get to work finishing that as soon as this story is done.  It will be out sometime this month, hopefully within a week of publishing Public.  I was just so motivated by Public that I had to finish it first.

I'm so excited about publishing my first story. I can't wait!

New and Improved Cover for "Sexting" Short Story

Here is the new (and hopefully final) version of the cover for "Sexting."  I did away with the man hands (they were too close-up anyway) and went with female hands, and a better pic for the phone.



And here's a thumbnail:



It was hard picking a picture, because what is a guy going to send a pic of, when sexting to a girl?  Abs, butt, or his genitalia. Well, genitalia won't be allowed on a cover for some venues, and that wouldn't be appropriate for the type of book this is.  Butt?  Questionable, and still not what I'm going for.  Abs?  Okay, but not sexy enough for sexting.  Abs, with the guy starting to pull down his pants?  Probably as good as it's going to get.

If you look close, you can see some pubes.  Hee hee.  Too much? Okay, maybe it's a bit much.  I'll be changing that part.

I think it looks great, otherwise.  Hopefully I'm not deluding myself!

Two Choices for Cover Art for My Upcoming Erotic Romance!

Here are the two covers I came up with.  They are both identical except for the image on the cell phone.  One is a man, one is a woman.

The first cover is the one I made first.  I wanted to go with a man's torso, because it is an erotic romance aimed at women.  However, the only good image that I found of hands on a keyboard that I really liked was that one that I chose, which looked to me like a man's hands.  So I thought it might look weird having man's hands next to a cell phone with a man's picture on it.  So I chose a woman instead.



But after printing out the picture in 8x11" size, I realized the hands might actually be a woman's, but with short nails.  And I really want a man, because putting a picture of a woman's boobs on there makes it look like I'm trying to draw in male readers.  So I added a guy, and I think this is the one I'm going with. 



The red bars across the page were made with a flowery background because I wanted to soften the look and make the cover look more feminine.  That's also why I added the swirly "S". 

I hope they look as good as I think they look.
