Hello and Welcome

  


  

What’s new at home? 

The struggle is losing ground here , but has not stopped me from writing. I thank you for understanding I'm still human and life does tend to growl or snap every now and then. I just finished, at the request of several readers, editors and publisher, 'turning up the heat' and 'fixed the verbiage'. And I had so much fun doing it!

Someone gave a description of sensual verses graphic and it was like a whole room of lights turned on. I smacked myself in the head. In one of my series I have an alpha who also does that same odd idiosyncrasy. Now, the question is, who got it from who?

Anyway, yeah I do a lot of the sensual, but not enough. Until now. :)

Verbiage. So many times I've heard readers say 'call it what it is'.

Now changing that in my own books is not the issue, but I found it hard to write one way in half my stories and another in the half. It was difficult to use such in my books and not in the LaViolette series with which I have a co-author for she feared said terminology made it porn. I did not want to write one way, have readers expect it, only to write a different way then have readers discover something unexpected. I don't have a pen name so that eliminated that prospect.

I showed my co-author countless emails of what readers want and she relented to what I think is best. I'm following the advice of all you readers.

I have just finished 'turning up the heat' and 'adjusting the verbiage' on certain books and my wonderful editor is doing her polishing part. I heard some writers fussing about editors, but not me. I cannot live without my editor. She is far too valuable and has taught me much in my learning process.

The following books have received a heat and verbiage adjustment:

A Second Chance: Tarot – King of Cups (published, new version not out)

A Light in the Dark: Tarot – Four of Pentacles (published, new version not out)

Home Port: Tarot – Four of Wands  (published, new version not out)

Still in the works:

I thank you for your time, patience and understanding in this situation.


  

Again, welcome to the group and I appreciate your understanding of my current situation.
