Indie Writers: Make MS Word Work for You Instead of Against You
A Quick Primer for Fiction Writers in using Microsoft Word in the Digital Age It always saddens me a little when a writer sends me an overly formatted Word doc to turn into an ebook or print-on-demand. It’s not that I have to clean it up–I can strip and…

My Current WIP: Irrevocable #Dark
I think I live on a permanent detour when it comes to writing. There are just too many ideas and I have to follow the ones that won’t leave me alone.
This has been one of the relentless ones. I haven’t been able to stop working on it in weeks.

Sexual Abuse Awareness & Last Chance for Bound and Unbroken at #99cents #BDSM
Today I’m participating in Lucian Bane’s Sexual Abuse Awareness & Prevention Event!
This is a very important topic for me, and I’m honored to be able to participate in the event and help draw attention to the cause. I was sexually assaulted in 2005, and it took me nearly seven years to be able to talk about it–even to the people I was closest with. I hope you’ll join the group and show your support for Sexual Abuse Awareness and Prevention. Knowledge and information are powerful tools.
The day-long event spotlighting BDSM and sexual abuse awareness and prevention will occur on Friday May 9th from 8am-11pm ET.

IWSG: A Little Help From My Friends, May 7
As writers we all have our ups and downs. Today, I’m thankful for my awesome writing friends for helping me keep my head up and keep moving, even when I’m doubting everything I’m doing. Especially the one I spend almost every night working with. She keeps me on my toes, makes sure I keep working, and when I’m feeling particularly down, she’s there to send me voice messages and cheer me on through my own doubts.
I’m as introverted as I believe I could possibly be, and when I first joined the writing world I saw all of the other writers with their critique groups and awesome writing friends, and i wondered when I would finally find that particular set of people that would become my writing family. It took a while to find the people that I clicked with–and we’ve experienced our share of hiccups–but without them, this whole writing journey wouldn’t be the same.
One of the great things about IWSG is connecting with other authors, sharing our thoughts and feelings. We all share common insecurities, and spending some time each month visiting with other authors, sharing our words of advice, and generally learning that we aren’t alone in any of our struggles is a powerful thing.
If you haven’t found that spacial group that you can call your writing family, don’t worry! They’re out there somewhere.
Bound and Unbroken: Dungeon Crawl May 7 #dungeoncrawl #BDSM
Welcome to the Dungeon Crawl!
[image error]The DUNGEON CRAWL blog hop is brought to you by Romancing the Kink.
An excerpt from Bound and Unbroken–Lena has decided to give into her curiosities…
—
When she was within reach, he pulled her between his legs, his hand moving down her lower back and resting on her hip. Now in the privacy of the hotel room, her body was stiffer, but she submitted as he pulled her head closer and claimed her mouth. Tender at first—brushing his lips against hers until a flick of his tongue persuaded her lips to part.
Her hands settled on his shoulders, and he took the unbridled opportunity to begin his exploration, inching up her shirt. The soft flesh of her back cool against his heated palms.
Her body stiffened again as the material cleared her waist, glancing around the room as if she expected an army to pop out of the walls. Eric rose and pushed her backward, she stumbled with the first steps, but he held her to his body until her back pressed against the wall. Leaving her shirt dangling, half disheveled, he pulled her wrists from where they’d nestled at the back of his neck and pinned them over her head.
“Want me to stop?”
—
Lena is about to discover pleasure in the things she can’t control.
To get even with her roommate for dragging her to a sports bar on a Friday night, Lena begins flirting with the handsome stranger who sits at the bar next to her. Their anonymous conversation leads to a shared cab ride, but Lena’s conscience puts a damper on the evening—leaving the near-fling to become a memory. Until she finds him roaming the halls of the school where she teaches.
Will she submit to his desires?
Eric’s only reason for returning to his hometown is to care for his recently orphaned nephew. He knew the return would involve dredging up his past with family and friends, but he didn’t expect a lone girl to capture his interest and offer an escape within his new life.
Will his binds be enough to keep her?
Note: This book contains explicit sexual content (including BDSM themes), graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: M/f anal play, bondage, spanking, exhibitionism.
