Music Monday – All About That Bass

Kindle

Because it’s just the cutest thing… And I like the message. We could all use a little levity and laughter and realism and less harsh criticism about size and perfection based on unrealistic standards.

If you’ve got it, then flaunt it…

Learn to love yourself. Learn to accept yourself. Learn that you don’t have to live up to anyone’s standards but your own. These are things I’m having to learn and adopt myself, so I know how hard it is and how hard it can be. But it’s not impossible and lif...

Football Football Football

Kindle

Yes, y’all that’s what time of year it is!

I do write and work on things on the weekends, but I primarily watch football. It starts for me on Thursday nights. There’s Friday night college football too. All day Saturday starting at 9am with GameDay on ESPN, Sunday starting at 10am with the NFL, and Monday nights. That’s A LOT of football. And that makes for a happy Lissa.

It’s a lot of time in front of the television, too. On my ass. Though I do get up and walk in place (hey, it counts) ev...

Kindle Select for Stick Shift

Kindle

If you’ve paid any attention to the re-release of Stick Shift this week, you may have noticed it’s not on Barnes and Noble or All Romance eBooks or Smashwords. There’s a reason for that and the title of this post makes that clear.

I’ve enrolled Stick Shift in Amazon Kindle Select. It’s exclusive to Amazon for 3 months. It’s a test, you see. For me. To try something new. To see how things work with Kindle Select. To utilize some of the deals and special things they have in place for autho...

Into The Newness

Kindle

Change is hard for most people. Whether it’s personal or business, large or small, change affects us and can be downright scary. Sometimes change is out of our control, and sometimes all it takes is a toe dipped in the water.

At the same time, change can be very good for us.

The one thing I came away from Authors After Dark with this year, is that things need to change. For me. With me. Personal and business. And honestly, I’m scared shitless.

I don’t like change. It’s typically way outsid...

Cover Reveal – Five Alarm Alphas

Kindle

See? And I bet y’all thought I’ve been doing nothing for months on end…

I was so thrilled to be asked to join this group of authors. I hadn’t been asked to join an anthology and to be completely honest, my feelings were kind of hurt. There are people I know and considered friends who’ve been in several and none of them ever asked me if I’d like to participate, not even for the anthologies in genres I write in.

For this one, an author I’d never talked to before, who I didn’t even know knew...

Cover Reveal – The Sticky Cowgirl

Kindle

I don’t have the blurb yet. I think I’m on draft 394… But hopefully soon.

In case you haven’t noticed, both covers (The Cupcake Cowboy, too) so far have been changed. They’re brighter and a little more fun than the original ones. Which, that wasn’t the artist’s fault. No, it’s all on me. My vision of what I wanted and the vision of what readers would buy was totally different. So, they had to undergo a makeover and I really like them. The third book in the series, The Tattooed Barista,...

Stick Shift Re-Release!

Kindle

Stick Shift has a new look, a new blurb, a new price, and some new words. I’ve been working for weeks on the revisions and published it through Amazon.

For now, it is only available through Amazon. I am giving their Kindle Select program a try to see how I like it and wanted to do so with a re-release first before trying it with a brand spankin’ new book.

I mentioned that Stick Shift has some new words, and it does. I extended many scenes and left others along. It’s a little naughtier and...

Florida State Football…

Kindle

…is back.

And guess what? So, am I… Will explain soon.

Guest Post – Author Avril Ashton

Kindle

She is one of my very favorite authors. When I discovered her Brooklyn Sinners series, I was hooked from the first word. SHE is Avril Ashton. We don’t talk a lot and we don’t hang out online together, but she’s become someone I look up to, we email sometimes, and have a deep, abiding NEED for coffee and most all things cake related. She’s no nonsense and she tells it like it is.

Please welcome her. It’s not the first time she’s been on the blog and it certainly won’t be the last.

Avril:
