There are times when I find America Chavez art that reminds of myself even more than the official art, and then I lose my mind for a while. 


ONE: my muscle pony legs are constantly covered in bruises and cuts and maybe a band aid


TWO: the hair half up/half down is the eventual compromise I come to every few days, because my hair is curlythickhuge and kills hairties when I try to keep it in a ponytail.


THREE: I owe that sweater. 


actually, I own that entire outfit and I wear my light denim shots with showy pockets basically every day of the summer that I’m not wearing black yoga shorts. I am convinced that America’s default official outfit involves black yoga shorts, because homegirl high kicks in those things all day long.

This has nothing to do with my book, which you should still totally buy. I just wanted to note that, yes, this is my dog. This is our life.


It’s from this xojane piece, where the moral of the story is mostly that whatever fancy shit you buy your pets, they probably just wanna play with twisty ties and shredded towels.


Not my dog, however.


Not my dog.


Cheap dog food makes him break out in hives.

boom! updates!

Yeah, so, remember when I was prattling on about amazon rank and whatever yesterday? And I was excited about maybe getting to break 10 K?

We broke 10 K!



And we broke top 100 for gay fiction *and* gay romance. You guys are the best, have I mentioned? Those of you who are promoting--thank you so much and keep on keeping on. <3 It's working. I knew you were the best. I KNEW IT.

City Wolf on Amazon and Goodreads, for the hyperlink lazy.

And as a nice bonus:



Winter Wolf is at the top of the free gay romance list, and currently at #528 free overall in the whole kindle store. WOO!

It also stops being free tomorrow, so, yeah, get in on that.

I know not all of you purchase on amazon, and I'll have the books up elsewhere in a few months.

Did I mention you guys are totally the best?

YESSS

City Wolf's Amazon ranking is currently at #10,717. If just a few more people buy books soon, I get to break top 10 K and feel like a badass.

I know the technical details of this kind of thing are pretty dull for most people (I mean, duh, you're here to read books, not listen to someone prattle on about search engines), but amazon weighs your first few days of ranking pretty heavily and it impacts your ranking later on, etc. And it's not that ranking is an ego thing (I mean, Winter Wolf hits #1 or #2 on the gay free list when I do promos, usually), but that ranking high puts you up higher in the search results, which means that MORE PEOPLE GET TO SEE YOUR BOOK, which means that more people might buy your book, but also, I mean, for real, more people see your book and that's just cool.

So the point is--buy yourself a copy! Buy your friend a copy! Buy your mom a copy? No, probably not your mom. Sex happens.

PS: I can't believe I almost forgot! Winter Wolf is free today, too, so that getting into the series is easier. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Do you ever plan to put City Wolf somewhere besides Amazon? I know you need to keep it there exclusively for a while but I don't have a Kindle so thought I'd check to see if there's anywhere I could eventually get it.

Yes! Thank you for reminding me to announce that.


I’m going to put both books (and the eventual third) on Smashwords. I meant to do that for Winter Wolf forever ago, but I wanted to edit it first and there was a fiasco with that editor, so I never did it. But yes! It’ll be on Smashwords in about three months. I’ll give a specific date closer to then.


My own kindle doesn’t work most of the time, so I actually just use the amazon cloud reader: https://read.amazon.com/

VALENTINE'S DAY CAME EARLY

City Wolf (Axton & Leander, #2) by S.P. Wayne City Wolf

So! For the first time ever, Amazon updated something for me early! Here's City Wolf, all ready for your consumption.

Slowly deepening relationship moments! Sex! Car chases! Lots of dates! A villain!

A clickable table of contents this time!

(it’s trickier than you think)

If I'm not receiving hate mail in 48 hours about what an asshole someone is, I'll have failed as an author.

The first book, Winter Wolf, will be FREE on Amazon for February 14-15th for all of you who want to get in on the series.

Thanks so much for being awesome, you guys!

ATTENTION, ATTENTION

I have done my duty to all of you. The files are uploaded to the KDP. At latest, City Wolf should appear on Amazon by 4 AM Friday.


Unless something terrible happens.


I’VE DONE MY PART, is what I’m saying.


and now to bed.


xoxoxo, everyone.


PS: the series is called Axton and Leander now, fiy, because why not and they needed to be organized somehow. It’s like Griffin and Sabine! But more werewolfy. And more gay. And with 100% more barfights.
