NEW Reverse Harem Romance series - Sci-Fi

 

The men of the Veda system love mature (40+) Earth females.

Due to the Veda Solar System’s low female population, men can be organized in groups of two to four and are permitted to mate with the alien females they sign with from young worlds, such as Earth.

For the Veda System’s armed fleets, Earth serves as a planet of rest and relaxation. When a matched male group signs with a female, they have to let her decide whether or not to remain with them.

A civil war within the ten planets may be imminent when a faction begins influencing the council to forbid accepting alien women from young worlds. These warriors will battle to retain the women with whom the Gods have matched them with.

HEA Guaranteed, Spice = 5+ Chili's 😁,  Reverse Harem (RH) MFM.

To Series or Not to Series...

That is the question!

For me anyway.

I've completed a 20K+ word novella and it has all the markings of a series. 

But...and I've been sighing over this for 2 months now. Do I want to make it into a series or keep it as a single read? ???????????

Grrrrr Arrrrggg!!

I have two other plots already half formed (in my brain) but do I want to put them down to pen and paper -- AKA the computer, or do I want to brush them aside for the time being, go on to something else and maybe bring the plots back later in stories of their own, with no relation to the novella I finished? ????????????????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The woes of an author!!

I know series are 'big' at the moment, so why not sit down and crunch two more novellas out? 

Series however take time in planning, and although I am a 'panster' (I write by the seat of my pants). There is some planning you have to do to make sure the series comes out right. 

Like all eye, hair colors are the same if character from book 1 is in book 3. Body types, mannerisms etc... 

Trust me as a reader when I sit down to read a series, I have noticed little inconsistencies, that have me grabbing the book before and reading it again to make sure I'm not losing my mind, that YES, her/his eyes were blue in the first one and now they're silver!

I'm anal that way LOL. 

So I'm thinking I need to sit down and really think this over, making a decision by the end of today!

Maybe I'll finish my office wall today and clean my office while I'm putting everything into place. After all there's nothing like having a clean work area to stimulate the mind.

Have a great day all!! 

Stay Spicy

I Finally Watched Maleficent...

So yes, I finally watched Maleficent.

I think I put it off for so long because I am a BIG Disney freak 

and most of the time I do not like changes concerning the favs I grew up with, because a lot of them get messed up so bad *Sigh*.

But then I figured it wasn't Sleeping Beauty's story, it was Maleficent's story and the why of why she did what she did.

I have to say...

I LOVED IT!! 

I think Angelina Jolie did a perfect Maleficent and told the story, through expressions and words expertly! 

The story didn't end the way I thought it would, NOT at all like the animation. -- AND I LOVED IT!!

Disney pulled that one off RIGHT as rain!! 

I'm not going to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but Maleficent is not only about revenge and how said revenge came to be. It's also a story of unconditional love, strength and pride.

I don't ask for many movies, but I asked my husband to buy this one for me.

So I'm going to share the DisneyMusicVevo

sung by Lana Del Ray Video

What a voice she has!!

Enjoy!!

The Office Wall Make Over - Part 3

OK, so...Grrrrrrrr Arrrrrrrrggggg!

I'm not a 'professional' painter by any means (if you can't already tell)

But I do like to paint and when I have an issue, it just ticks me off.

My son says..."lady, calm," Love my kid!

So if you've seen the other office wall makeover pics, you'll see that I used the blue painters tape to make sure everything was straight and even to prevent this...

(as I model the two pictures above with a wave of my hand) the 'feathering' or 'bleeding' of paint. 

Pee'd me off  --  like, BIG TIME!

I'm like, I followed all the rules, had the painters tape, make sure it was secure and it still DOES NOT work.

Of course I do have textured walls *Sigh* some days, I just feel like I can't win.

So I went out and bought some small brushes and my son is going to help me even out the bleeding. 

My husband says, I'm being to picky and looking at it to hard, it looks fine. (I think he stepped back when I shot him 'the' look LOL)

I'm like, it's not the way I want it and I'm the one who is in my office, so it's going to get straightened out. Grrrr. 

So I guess we'll see how much of a steady hand my a son and I have and how much I can muck it up Hehehehehe.

My passion vine has Fruited

Well, isn't that the cutest little thing :-)

I was out on my back patio and while the dog was looking for lizards to chase I noticed these things hanging from my passion vine.

I moved in for a closer look and found three little pods on the vine. So what do I do ... I went to the screen door to the house and called in to my husband. "Hey, there's little pod like things on the passion vine."

His answer... "Yeah?"

Of course it was during a March Madness game so that's about all I got from him LOL.

So the next day while home from the day job for lunch I Googled passion vine pods. I didn't like what I found so I went to YouTube and did the same and whoa and behold, they are the 'fruit' of the vine.

https://youtu.be/9ETN0g6IFM8

I was like really!! I've grown passion fruit!! How cool can that be.

My son's like, we can eat those.

I'm like, I guess so.

He's like. When?

I'm like. Good question.

AND...I still have no idea.

One of the workers from another site at my day job says he has them growing in his backyard to and they are good to eat. So I guess I'm going to have to call him tomorrow and ask how to tell when these things are ripe.

So we went from Buds to Flowers to Fruits!! I'm so excited.

And even more exciting news --

Office Wall Maker Over - Part 2

OK, so the painting has begun

I'm not sure if I should be scared or excited. LOL

I love painting and am so glad my son was helping me. When I paint I seem to make a mess. I must have a damp cloth with me to erase any mistakes. 

It seems, that, no. I can't stay within the lines...

LOL 

I did the cutting in and he filled in the middle, with a brush mind you, he didn't want to use the roller .

So now we sit and wait for it to dry.

*Sigh* really *rolling eyes* this is like watching water boil. 

...

Until Next week ...

Author Swag Bags - The Bag

The Bag ...

This was the bag I chose my 'swag' to go in for the writers workshop yesterday.

I chose it because I liked the colors. I liked how the black and gray went with the purple and there were little dots of the lime green, now the sides had the lime green as the back color instead of the purple.

And I chose the lime green tissue paper to go with the bag.

There were a lot of great bags there from more ornament to less and a few that had been specially made with the authors name, ect, from paper to fabric.

I LOVED them all!!!!

I think when picking a bag you have to go by what you like.

I was told once the best way to give a gift is to buy something you'd like to get and then give it away. 

Do I use this...sometimes. It depends on the person I'm gifting.

But, I had no idea who would be receiving my bag, so I went with what caught my eye and what I'd like to receive. 

Does it matter where you buy your bag ... I'm not thinking so.

I bought mine from K-Mart.

Yep, I said it, K-Mart.

And you know what ... another author chose the same bag as I (minus the tissue paper).

So I guess I didn't do such a bad job in choosing my bag.

Now what swag did I put in it ... well that's for next week 

But I will show you an update from last weeks blog about business cards and bookmarks.

I didn't have a chance to order bookmarks, so here's 

My business card...

Front ...

 I used my most recent cover, and added a short blurb.

Also, you'll see my web and blog site .com's

along with a tad bit more info.

NOW ... I did leave enough space for me to autograph, which I did before I inserted my 'swag' into the bag.

right under the blurb and above my website.

I know it doesn't look like much of a space, but there is.

I used a fine point permanent marker to sign due to the glossy front.

Back...

And here's the back. I had created the Mercenaries of Neris banner when the last book A Warrior's Longing came out. 

And as you'll also notice, I added some snippets of reviews.

Now, having the 'color back' added a few more bucks onto the overall price of the card, and I opted for the step up card stock.

I am very happy with the weight and overall appearance of the card.

Where did I order them you ask ... Vista Print.

I played with one on Zazzle and it looked awesome! The price was a bit higher for fewer cards and me being me asked my husband's opinion on both.

He liked the one I have now. 

Hope this helped and look for next weeks ...

Fun Drink Friday - Scarlet O'Hara

There are several recipes available, but the one that’s considered best uses Southern Comfort, cranberry juice and lime. The overall effect with this drink is a blend of mellow peach and tart cranberry, with an exciting touch of citrus. Definitely one to sip and savor.

Recipe

• 2 ounces Southern Comfort
• Dash of lime juice
• 6 ounces cranberry juice
• Garnish with a lime wedge

Pour the Southern Comfort, lime juice and cranberry juice into a shaker with ice, and shake well. Strain into a sour or Collins glass.

New Years Goals = SUCCESS!!

Update on my goals from New Years...

The treadmill and calorie counting are working excellent!!

Since January 4th, 2015 I have lost ...

9 lbs.

Can you say "Psyched!!" 

For the most part, I've been pretty good. I do have desert but make sure I stay within my calorie limits for the day and occasionally have a cheat date, like last night. 

My husband treated me to Outback Steakhouse for our date night and well, I just can't say no to a blooming onion,

and I'm still down 9 lbs :-)

I'm using the app, LoseIt! that I down loaded on to my Nook. 

My other goal was to re-instate my RWA membership and join a local chapter to help advance my career as a writer and if you've been following my blog, you know that I have done both.

I was on my own for such a long time. It's good to have friends who are going through the same things I am or who have so they can mentor and help because they've already been there.

A good quote was given at our last monthly meeting in January...

'Our Tool Box is Never Full'

I agree with this completely. No matter what field we work in or just in life, we are always learning.

And don't forget if you can make it and if there are any seats still left, the Sunshine State Romance Authors is sponsoring a writers workshop on February 21st, at the Homosassa State Wildlife Park in Homosassa, Florida.

It is a paid workshop.
