Lick and a Promise: Diary of a Rock Star GroupieDown Came NovemberWeedmonkey
♥As a special Christmas treat to everyone who has been so supportive of me, my writing and my whimsy, I am offering three of my best selling ebooks for .99 cents each. I am so grateful for each and every one of you, thank you! ♥
Weedmonkey
Growing up during the Depression and forced to live in coal mining camps throughout Appalachia, Virgie Hopkins is subjected to child molestation, the KKK, murder, homelessness, starvation and ridicule for being the daughter of the town whore.
Virgie grows up hating her mother who was taken away when she was nine years old and while she was gone, she and her brother were put into foster care, starved and abused.
When her mother returned, she did not know her husband or her children and Virgie could not understand why she had changed.
At 16, Virgie made the decision to leave Kentucky and the only life she had ever known after discovering her prostitute mother was having an affair with the young boy Virgie loved.
Filled with hatred, resentment and shame for the woman she called Mom, it was not until her mother’s funeral, did she learn the horrible truth, the reason for her change and the reason why she became the town whore, a weedmonkey.
A haunting true story…
From the author:
My mother began writing Weedmonkey when I was a little girl. In 2006, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live. On her deathbed, she asked me to finish writing it for her.

Lick and a Promise~Diary of a Rock Star Groupie
*For Mature Audiences Only*
During the era of Classic Rock, Poppy Bishop was a teenage runaway. At 18, she was in bed with the lead guitarist of one of the biggest bands in rock history. She went on to become Poppy Bleu, a “famous” groupie who bedded rock stars, their wives (and girlfriends) and became a junkie by the time she was 21. However, she never forgot her first rock star…and he never forgot her.
For over 20 years, Poppy Bleu was known in the rock and roll world as the best backstage lay and liked, loved and hated by some of the world’s biggest rock stars. Her story is one of sex, drugs, and rock and roll and how she went from groupie to junkie to author and became the love of a lead guitarist’s life who saved her from a life of ruin.

Free eBook on Amazon Kindle!
Hi everyone!
I love the Fall, don’t you? There is something crisp and clean about the cooler breeze, the turning leaves and the magic in the air that surrounds All Hallows Eve. I love it!
October is also my favorite month so to honor the changing of the seasons, I am giving away a FREE copy of my latest book WEEDMONKEY.
My mom began writing this book when I was a little girl and I’ve heard the story many times. It is one of hardship, poverty and pain. It is, the true story of her childhood.
She wanted to write the book herself but for fear of scorn from her family (most of whom were still alive at the time) she put the book away, unfinished.
In 2006, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live. On her deathbed, she asked me to finish writing it for her. I lovingly said yes.
I know in my heart, she never thought it would see the light of day, yet in July of this year, it was released and it is now a Best Seller on Amazon.

Six Sentence Sunday~Lick and a Promise~Diary of a Rock Star Groupie
"I laid there thinking how I had fantasized about this moment. This rock star god was no longer in my dreams or on my wall but he had become a reality and that reality was on top of me fucking me into oblivion.
Although he was one of the biggest names in the rock world and admired by millions of women, at this very moment, he was with me, his thoughts and body were on me.
It gave me a high like I had never known.
Although only 18, I had had my share of sex partners but this was different.
This was a real rock star, my rock star and the man of my teenage dreams."

Why Reviews are Important to Writers
Okay, so you've written a book! Big deal right?
Well, it is a big deal, a mighty big deal and for some of you, this might be your first attempt at making it big or maybe it's your last.
You put your heart and soul into every letter, every page, every sentence...then what?
Well, in order to get noticed by people, you need to get reviews of your work. Other people need to know that what you have to show them is worthy of their time and attention.
No one likes to be the first and step forward but hey, somebody has to do it, why not you?
It only takes a few minutes to write a review.
What if you didn't like it, well then be honest or don't say anything but be kind enough to write the author a personal note thanking him/her for writing the book (or in some cases the free copy) and simply explain that it wasn't really your cup of tea and instead of posting a negative review, you'll pass.
Okay, not what you wanted to hear but hey, it's something and at least you were acknowledged.
So, if you want to show a writer that you appreciate all of the hard work, the blood, sweat and tears they put into their book...read the book then leave a review.
Ta Da! It's as simple as that...
Speaking of which...(sneaky aren't I) I am looking for 10 people to receive a free copy of my latest ebook, LICK AND A PROMISE~Diary of a Rock Star Groupie which is an erotic romance with a rock and roll edge.
Written under my pen name, Veronica Moreau.
It's Book One in the Rock Star Series and is now in eBook and will be coming out in paperback next month.
Did ya know...the story is based on an actual event that happened to me when I was 17 with a famous rock star?!?!?
Well, now ya do! :)
Free copy for an honest review on Amazon!
Thanks for listening and until next time...have a great day! :)

New Website Design
Hey everyone,
I thought with a new year, my site should have a new look!
Since I write in different genres (horror, inspirational and erotic romance) I wanted to have a theme that reflected who I was which is basically a laid back 70′s chick who likes to write!
I love wildflowers and chose this pretty daisy design with a book in a meadow…ah…me!
Hope you like it! Drop me a comment and let me know what you think!
