Self-Published and Loving it!!

Well, as I have already said, I have decided to go the self-publishing route. And I must tell you it's a lot of work.

But....

There is always a but...LOL

I'm loving it.  I feel empowered. I'm in control of every aspect of my book: writing, publication, graphics. And it's a great feeling.

I sold my first book on Amazon within the first two hours that it was published. I was jumping for the ceiling, I must tell you.

*Sigh*

Back to work then. Promoting is a b*tch. But loving it. Learning a lot.

Neil's Fire (Island Heat) Excerpt

I don’t want to be alone tonight.”

 “Of course not. I’m gonna stay until the storm dies down. Don’t worry.” He reached over and awkwardly patted her arm in a reassuring gesture.

She sighed. It looked like she was going to have to be a little more direct.

Sandwich forgotten she stood and he followed suit. She walked to his side of the table.  “Hey, you ok-oomph.”

His sentence ended abruptly as she pushed him back down onto his chair. She knew she was only able to accomplish the task because he was surprised by her action.

“Fire,-“

She placed a finger on his lip.

“Ssshhh.”

He grabbed her hand but made no effort to move it away.

His eyes blazed. That was the only way she could explain it. An inner fire lit his eyes up and they glowed. She remembered that look. The candles did not offer sufficient light but she was sure if she looked closer she would see his pupils expanded leaving only a faint green brown ring around them.

He wanted this too.

She pulled her hand away. He let her go. Grabbing the bottom of his t-shirt she pulled it up and up. Inch by inch of gorgeous chest was exposed. Abs, obliques, pecs. His golden skin, covering those perfect muscles, glittered in the candle light. A fine sheen of sweat sparkled over his skin even though the room was chilly. The shirt covered his face briefly then it was lying carelessly on the floor.

Yum yum!

He was even more gorgeous than before. He was more ripped, more defined. More…just more. And she intended to get reacquainted with every inch of skin tonight.

She put one leg on either side of his thighs. Her breasts were level with his eyes. He stared straight at them. Her nipples had already hardened and she was sure that they were poking against her top. He swallowed before meeting her gaze.

Slowly she grabbed the bottom of her own top and his gaze jumped to the action. Her fingers ate up more and more of the cotton material. His tongue moved over his lips as if they were suddenly dry. She pulled the top higher and higher and then felt the cool air brushed her nipples. She shivered. A strangled sound came from his throat. Moving it over her head she dropped it on the floor also.

His eyes were stuck on her breasts and he licked his lips again.

“I don’t want to be alone tonight.”
