Lots of exciting things are happening for the L.V. Lewis Brand. This month, my Rocking the Pop Star series is being re-launched as The Rock Legend Series. The first book, European Tour is now titled “Savage.” It will release early in April around April 8th, which just happens to be my birthday. So Yay, Me!





The other exciting thing happening is, books two and three of The Rock Legend Series is being drafted as I write this. Nanowrimo camp in April is providing the impetus for me to get this third book in the Rock Star Legend Series completed. Wish me luck. It has occurred to me that I work with hard deadlines better than soft ones, so I believe this camp situation will produce a stellar product for readers of Rock Star Romance. And oh yeah, the final two books in the series will be titled “Redemption” and “Revival.” So, get your music romance novel loving selves ready for a story that Bohemian Rhapsody fans will simply adore!





The final exiting thing happening this month (all in my birth month) is Jungle Fever Duology is going away. It was time. The Jungle Fever Series has been long overdue some refreshing, and as many of you know, I have already replaced the covers of all the single books. Eventually, there will be more, but right now, the duet had to die its natural death. LOL





So, send me all the positive vibes you can for my writing this month. I’m going to need them.





Speaking of writing, if you want to read any of my other books while you’re waiting for the Rock Star Series to republish, you can find all my books here, where Jungle Fever Duology is going to be $1.99 for the final time: LV Lewis books!

Climax in Paris by Allie Hayden





[image error]



The road to love can be a dangerous journey when you’ve got two eligible bachelors fighting for your attention.





Love’s a gamble, why not go all in?





There was only an entire ocean between us. Actually, time zones too.
We were both at the epitome of our careers. We were both in love with each other and equally in love with our fame. 





Crazy how we met right at the beginning of our journeys. Right on that very first day our eyes met — It was love at first sight. And now, for a whole year, I won’t get to see him. He’ll be on the road, and I’ll be performing on tour. 





He’s willing to do anything to keep us together and anything else to keep me satisfied. Darius, that’s so sweet. Knowing you can still make me want you so much from across the whole dammed globe. 





But come on baby, are we really gunna make this work?





“For you my love, anything.”

Infatuation by Laurel Black



$0.99 or FREE in KU







There was a strange sense of isolation that shrouded them, but despite that, the two teens nestled in the darkness, welcoming it, embracing it. Neither the rattles from a nearby fence nor the buzzing of their dying phones bothered them. Instead, they remained where they were, strangely content. 





One of them was a girl, around fourteen, with tears streaming down her cheeks. The other was a boy, the same age as she was, with an arm wrapped around her. He kept her close, knowing full well she was shivering.





Suddenly, he heard a chuckle. He looked down, and caught the amused expression on her face. “What?” he asked.





“Are they really worth all this?”





He was silent for a few moments as he contemplated her words. He did want to point out that it was her idea to begin with, to not hang out with him out of fear people would think they were dating, especially their crushes. But whether it be because of the age difference, or the fact they were just too stubborn, he couldn’t tell. So he shrugged. “I don’t know.” 





“Hey, if this doesn’t work, you wanna get married? So y’know, we don’t end up dying alone?”





He scoffed. “No way in hell. You’re like my sister.”





“You love me.”





“Shut up.”

It was determined from the biopsy that I have contact dermatitits, so I think I’ve figured out what is causing my breakouts and I’m eliminating that thing from touching my skin. Yay!





This week, I’m continuing to work on my revamp of the European Tour Series, which is getting new series and book names. I’m working with a marketer to re-launch and re-release these Rock Star Romances. Evan if you have or have not read European Tour and World Tour, and would like to participate in refreshing that read with an ARC of the newly re-covered series, and you’re willing to provide a review, email me: [email protected]. There may be a surprise in this for those who are brave enough to participate.





I plan to make some headway in writing this week, as this is the first week since January that I haven’t been battling a skin condition.

TOff Limits by Allie Hayden










The road to love can be a dangerous journey when you’ve got two eligible bachelors fighting for your attention.





Sebastian, my mid-summer childhood muse, now a renowned lawyer, stared me down with his piercing blue eyes.
He wanted me again, I could tell. By the smirk on his face and the way he undressed me with his eyes.
“Is it hot in here? Or is it just me?” I fanned myself, trying to get the flush on my face to ease. 
“Should be illegal to be that hot,” Sebastian purred, sending my skin into a goose bumped frenzy.





And then there was Ash, you know him– the lead singer of Dreams of Compass Gods.
Drop dead gorgeous and talent like no other. 
And the cherry? Well, that was me. 
“It’s most definitely you, princess.” Ash winked.
You’d think he’d want nothing to do with a normal girl like me. 





Three’s a crowd? I was crowded-in a hot and bothered way.
What am I supposed to do when these two beautiful men want me. 
Whoever said the most evil boys were the prettiest, were so god dammed right. 





Sometimes, you just can’t say no.

Going For The Gold by L.V. Lewis



$0.99 or FREE in KU





Olympic pole-vaulter Gunnar Kingsley is competing in Rio, where he will finally meet Mia Orlán—his longtime online pen pal. He assumes Mia thinks he’s just an average guy, and hopes that her impoverished upbringing has prevented her from researching him.





In the eight years they’ve been corresponding, Mia has developed feelings for her American friend she fears won’t be returned. If by some miracle they were, she’s even more afraid a physical relationship would leave only heartbreak in its wake.





Meanwhile, Gunnar fears if she knows of his elite ranking, she’ll end up being just another girl who’ll treat him like a shallow jock. He wants more from her. Will Gunnar come clean when the torch is lit in Rio, or will Mia confront him first?

This weekend I was inflicted with the flu. Can’t a girl get a break? If you’ve been following my blog, then you know I’ve had sickness after sickness and now I’m just so done with not being well.





Despite everything, I have all this writing I need to do and deadlines I want to be able to meet, but I am not a super hero. I had to come to this realization as it relates to my day job and my side hustle. I can only do so much, until my body collapses.





So, this week, I’m going to try to take it easy and allow my body to heal. I’ve got my meds and my fluids and trying very hard not to become dehydrated, so wish me luck you guys. I’m going to need it.

Love, Autumn by Nikki Bloom





[image error]



Someone call Karma because she seriously sucks at her job. 
Leo Thompson was an absolute jerk in college and now he’s Mr. Tall and Handsome? 
What’s up with that? 
And, get this, he’s this super successful surgeon who managed to steal away my heart. 
Seriously, Karma, get your act together. 





But I guess I don’t mind all that much if he keeps giving me those bedroom eyes. 
Try as I might to remember the ridicule he’d put me through… 
The humiliation… 
I’m still drawn to that perfect smile of his… 
That oh-so-sexy V that leads to untold pleasures. 





Oh, if I could only forget about the past and fall into bed with this man. 
If only for a little while. 
I mean, if Karma doesn’t hold a grudge then why should I? 
A girl can have a little bit of fun, can’t she? 





Especially when that fun is Dr. Leo Thompson. 
The one man who can make me howl louder than any other. 
The one who knows my every weakness – my every bedtime kryptonite. 
And he uses it to his full advantage until I’m screaming so loud the whole town is bound to hear his name. 





So, someone page Dr. Thompson because I’ve got a bone to pick. 
Or better yet, he has a bone to pick with me. 
If you know what I mean. 
Let’s just hope that this doesn’t crash and burn like the last time. 
Because my heart cannot stand to be shattered a second time. 









Love, Autumn is a 40k-word sweet/heat-packed romance novella with no cheating and a HEA. Click BUY NOW to find out what happens when Autumn meets Dr. Handsome again!

Born of Sin (Book 1) by Deanna Richmond



FREE





[image error]



The future can’t hold back the past.





Octavia Vail has no memory of her life before being found on a barren Connecticut road as a young child. The locals were shocked that she only spoke Latin and suspicious of the dead greenery and livestock that appeared in the wake of her arrival. Her only possession, a mysterious ring, may have something to do with it. And when the ring’s crest matches the one on a ring in a picture worn by a man who lived centuries ago, Octavia knows she must find out more about him. 





Victor Logan Marchette, a vampire who’s lived for over 600 years, is the CEO of a Philadelphia hospital that deals with blood diseases. The first 200 years of his life are a mystery to him, but he’ll soon find out the horrifying reason why. Meanwhile, Octavia begins work as a nurse in the same hospital, and the sparks with Victor begin to fly…





But Victor is betrothed to another, a vampire from a wild clan, under the orders of the vampires’ governing body, Cabalistis. And when vampires in both clans discover Octavia’s presence – and the hidden danger she represents — it’s all-out war.





Born of Sin is the first in a thrilling Gothic Romance series. In a world of darkness and strife, the light of love is all that stands against it. And even for the most hardened vampires, that light… is the true meaning of eternity.





*A re-release of Blood Thirst, An Eternal Romance, and a sneak peek of Book 2.

KISSING THE PROTECTOR
by JILLIAN RILEY



“One of them gets 24 Hour Protection and the other gets heated nights at the ranch” 





Carlos:
I certainly didn’t want to waste my time babysitting a wannabe actress. 





Especially, when in order to do my job well I would need to run everything by her stuck-up, pain in the ass cousin. 





But there was something about her cousin that struck a nerve with me.





She seemed so smart and extremely sexy.





What was the price I was going to pay for taking on the role of Falls Ranch Protector…





Sam
I hated working for my cousin. I loved her sure, but I had an education, more than one degree, and at almost thirty I should be using them for something more.





But when family needs you, your wants and dreams take the back burner.





I didn’t mean to want my sexy protector, but every time he came near me something inside me flared.





He was too much. Too handsome, too intelligent, too strong, and too stubborn.





I would go to Falls Ranch. I would play the part Chandra needed me to play, but when this job was over, that’s when I would leave it all behind. Start my real career, and my real life.





The only problem? Would I be able to walk away with my heart intact?

For the past six weeks I’ve been dealing with skin irritation. If you have eczema or one of those common skin conditions, then you know exactly what I’ve been up against. My primary care physician wasn’t able to help me this time, so I’ve been referred to a dermatologist who told me this morning that I would need to have another outbreak for them to “culture” the problem to determine what it is so they can help me. This is unfortunate because now I have to go through this dreaded irritation for the 5th time in order for them to give me some permanent relief.





This seems very counterintuitive, because it means I’m going to have to let myself be sick again in order for them to try to heal me. I wish medicine was more an exact science in this case than a “let’s troubleshoot this and see what we’ve got in our arsenal to cure what ails you.”





Despite my misery, I’m still going to write a good portion of this we. What are you doing this third week of February?

Loving The Billionaire Boss by Kristen Kara

She’s never forgotten her first love.
A scholarship to an elite college was supposed to be Olivia Davidson’s ticket to success—one she never had a chance to cash. But she’s found her own path, first through the military, now as an entrepreneur. She can attend her class’s fifteen-year anniversary with her head high. Because there’s one person with whom she has unfinished business…





When I kissed a gorgeous stranger in a red-mask
I had no idea he will be my future boss…





He is the God of one night stands!
The Sexy Irresistible Billionaire.





That’s how I can describe Josh Kirk.
He will stop your heart with a glance.
That gorgeous little douchebag!





Wait.





That’s not entire him.
He has a more elusive side.
Which the world doesn’t know.
Only I do.





Yes, I am insane.
Why is he my boss?





Why would I even care that much for this AH?
Maybe because I am lonely – with an obvious hole in my heart.
Never did I want my boss to bang me.
Or maybe, I do!





100% HEA





Book 2: Tantric Harem





A very interesting reverse harm book you will love!!





Nala went to medical school to become a doctor.
But, life had different plans for her.
She ends up in a Himalayan Cave with these Alpha Men!

OUT OF BOUNDS
by Romi Hart



I want him. More than anything. But he’s one bad boy.





Big. Wild. Untamable.
3 rugged over-protective alphas in this box set bring all the steam, sizzle and heart needed.
This steamy box set will have you begging for more.





Book 1 – Temptation
Large. Huge. Magnum.
I get called these names all the time.
I’ve dominated the field for years.
But the moment I saw Reesa, I knew I wanted her.
Her curves, her eyes, and that sweet voice.
She is tempting me to the next level and I might lose control.
But she has a secret and I have to know what it is.
She is mine no matter what.
I’ll protect her at all costs.





Book 2 – Addiction
They call me beast for a reason.
I win, I score, I lead on and off the field.
But when I saw Kylie, I knew she was mine.
Those sweet juicy lips and her perfect curves.
There’s something about her that makes me go wild.
I have a secret to keep but there’s no way I can resist her.
I’ll tease her, tempt her and get her addicted to me.





Book 3 – Passion
I’m a monster, a predator on and off the pitch.
Nobody can tame me.

But when I laid eyes on Krys, I knew I wanted her.
More than just a hookup.
One dance with her and I was hooked.
Her hips, soft curves, full lips sparked a fire in me.
And now, nothing can stop me from claiming her.
My passion for her is a flame that only she can put out.





Warning: This steamy collection may set your kindle on fire. The hot sizzling chemistry will have you devouring the pages.

Monday, February 4, 2019





Last week I had an epiphany regarding my Jungle Fever Series. While listening to the first fifteen minutes of The Venture Capitalist audiobook, which is now in production at ACX, I was moved by how much the White family suffered when Tristan and Nathan’s mother was battling ovarian cancer. It remeinded me of how much my mother-in-law suffered with colon cancer in her final days, and I ended up with an idea on how to proceed with Tristan’s POV and Nathan’s stories. So, here’s hoping my mojo will cooperate while I’m fleshing these bad boys out.





Also during this very same week, I had several fans of the books write me to inquire about the stories, so I know there’s still interest there, and that just made me feel so good. It’s been a long while since I’ve felt this good about continuing this series. Although I love writing with the white hot passion of a thousand suns, my mojo is as finicky as hell, and I’m thankful that my readers who love me have understood and stood by me. I’m looking forward to bringing you some stellar product this year! Includiing a new standalone featuring a businessman, his super intelligent and beautiful assistant, and a dog.





Today, I’m working ten hours, but I will go home and write at least four hours. What are you doing today?





Speaking of writing, if you want to read any of my books while you’re waiting on my new stuff to publish, you can find all my books here, where The Caster’s Canticle is now on SALE: LV Lewis books!

Touched by Jenny Rose






Lucy Cramer had a stable and secure with her very nice and predictable boyfriend, Brandon but when he gets her to agree to a visit to see her estranged mother, things don’t remain so foreseeable and anticipated for the recent college graduate. She’d been educated in the best Ivy League school in the country but not even Lucy was ready for the confusion that her stepbrother, Marcus, would bring to her life. 





Marcus was everything that Brandon wasn’t and she couldn’t help but feel pulled to him from the moment they first met. He was wild and spontaneous, two things that Brandon could never be and Lucy was attracted to him in more than a physical sense. Could a kiss between the two of them change their lives forever or will she return home with her boyfriend.

Say You’re Mine by Carrie Lomax




She’s never forgotten her first love.
A scholarship to an elite college was supposed to be Olivia Davidson’s ticket to success—one she never had a chance to cash. But she’s found her own path, first through the military, now as an entrepreneur. She can attend her class’s fifteen-year anniversary with her head high. Because there’s one person with whom she has unfinished business…





She’s the one desire he’s ever been denied.
Ronan Banes thought he could be more than a replica of his bank executive father. Olivia sparked him to want more out of life. But the moment they met, she was out of reach. Now, Ronan has Olivia—and her company—in his sights. It’s only a matter of time before he has Olivia where he wants her. In his bed. By his side. His, in every way. But his past mistakes could cost them everything.





They’re not going down without a fight. 
When Olivia won’t sell, Ronan is prepared to engineer a hostile takeover. It’ll take more than shared memories to keep them together—and more than a boardroom battle to keep them apart.

Book Three in the Say You Will Series. Standalone steamy contemporary, 18+, HEA guaranteed!

WHEN I DREAM OF YOU
by Marcella Swann



I want him. More than anything. But he’s one bad boy.





The things he wants. They’re carnal, lustful things and I can’t get them—or him—out of my mind.





Devon Prescott knows how to impose his will.





He’s a viper in a Brioni handmade suit.





Ruthless in the board room, he’s even more relentless in the bedroom.





He’s a freakin’ Adonis. It scares me that I want him so much.





When I’m with him I feel safe. I feel love. I feel a yearning.





He knows that he rocks my world. That he is the stuff of my dreams.





So he wants things.





Things I’m afraid to give him.





He tells me I’m his in the most romantic of terms. That he worships my body.





That I must trust him.





I don’t deny it. Some of the things he wants stir me deep inside.





They’re sexy and dirty and forbidden.





Am I willing to be touched? To be shared?





Oh, god.





If I give into my dream lover’s deepest desires, will I lose myself in the process?





When I Dream of You is a full-length, 85,000-word standalone steamy romance.









[image error]



Simple.





Uncomplicated.





Tranquil.





Esme Archer’s life is all of those things until a good deed goes horribly right. Or wrong. Whoever thought that shoveling her neighbor’s sidewalk would land her in so much trouble? Cupid has to be laughing at her.





Now she finds herself inexplicably tangled up in injured pro football player Val Adeniyi’s life and heart. He’s everything she could want in a guy: family-oriented, compassionate, built. Did she mention built? She should mention built. But even better than his admittedly fabulous good looks is his heart. He’s the kind of guy she wants to spend her days curled up with and her nights curled around. And then there’s his adorable ball of fluff kitten. She can’t decide which one she wants to snuggle with first…





Unfortunately there’s one tiny problem: he hasn’t told anyone about her. Not his family. Not his teammates. No one. He claims it’s for the best. But is the perfect man setting them both up for the perfect storm?

hWhat If Dragons Were Real?





And they roamed the Earth in the form of two breathtakingly hot guys. You’d think I was crazy but I’ll tell you what, I’ve slept with them and they are 100% real – every last inch of them.





There’s only one problem.





They’re dangerous – the kind of men who are known to kidnap women and force them to birth their children. Now, logically, knowing this, I should run far, far away.





But try running away from a couple of guys who just rocked your world into next week. It’s not that easy especially when you find yourself carrying their baby.





So, I’m left with a choice: to live among the dragons and take my chances or to rely on my cheating ex-boyfriend and his desire for revenge.





But is it really a choice at all? Tell me, what would you do if you knew dragons were real?

I believe I shared with you earlier this month how I’ve decided to do the Keto Diet. It’s still going extremely well, despite my earlier misgivings that I wouldn’t be able to satisfy my desire for those forbidden foods. Well, let me just say I’ve discovered Keto Desserts, and just this weekend my daughter and I made the spectacular one pictured above. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’m able to enjoy one of my most favorite desserts of all time on this diet: Cheesecake!


Of course, this is a mini version, and it’s made without granulated sugar, but oh is this a delicious alternative to the original! To be honest, I could eat this version even when I’m not doing Keto and enjoy it. Rather than graham crackers, the crust is made of almond meal, butter, and Swerve (and if you want to be fancy, you can add cinnamon). The filling is of course, cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and Swerve sweetener. Yummy!


Check out the Mini Keto Cheesecakes recipe below.*


I was cooking and planning this weekend, Instead of writing. Sorry!

Mini Keto Cheescakes*
Ingredients

Crust

1/2 cup almond meal

2 tbsp butter


Cheesecake

8 oz. cream cheese

1 large egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 pinch salt

1/4 cup Swerve or  So Nourished erythritol

Instructions



Preheat the oven to 350°F. To make the crust, melt some butter until liquid and mix in your almond meal until you have some that feels like crumbly play dough.
Take about a teaspoon at a time and press the dough into the bottom of a muffin tin. Tip: line your pan with cupcake liners for easy removal! Cheesecake is very soft and if hard to scoop out without causing damage! Bake these crusts for about 5 minutes. They’ll come out slightly brown and crispy.
Then take your room temperature cream cheese and beat it with an electric hand mixer or standing mixer until creamy. Then add vanilla extract, lemon, an egg and your sugar substitute, erythritol in our case. Beat until all combined.
Use an ice cream scooper to fill all the crust-bottomed muffin tin cups evenly almost to the top (the mini cheesecakes will rise while in the oven but will flatten while refrigerating). You can also line each cup with a cupcake liner to make removing the mini cheesecakes easier.
Bake at 350°F for about 15 minutes. The mini cheesecakes should be slightly jiggly. Let them cool in the refrigerator for ideally 24 hours. But if you’re strapped for time, try putting them in the freezer for as long as you can.
Once the mini cheesecakes are done cooling, slide a knife around the edges of each muffin cup to loosen them up. Then use a fork and your hands to help them out cleanly. As a delicious bonus, slice up some strawberries and arrange them however you like on top of the mini cheesecakes.
We arranged ours in a flower pattern and added a dot of coconut butter in the middle to finish them off.

As I dropped my husband off at work this morning, one of the local radio stations was playing Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech in its entirety. I sat in my car long after having reached my destination listening, because those words wouldn’t allow me to leave them unheard. Dr. King’s words have always given me chills and they did so, yet again, this morning. His words have elicited awe, inspiration and hope for many for more than seventy years.


And considering where our nation is today, I pondered whether his sacrifice had been in vain and my answer quickly became a resounding NO! We may have strayed from his vision somewhat, but I still believe that we will see that day he espoused so many years ago…that our children will judge others not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. As human beings we all have more commonalities than not, so I truly believe we will eventually get there. Peace!


I’m using my day off as a writing day. What are you doing today?

The Billionaire’s Miracle Family by Arabelle Stevens

Audrey Edlin’s life was completely under control with a predictable routine. She had a job she loved, friends, and a lovely home on Beacon Hill in Boston she inherited from her grandmother. Life was consistent, orderly, and comfortable. Except for the man-child living next door.


Donahue Alister lived in the townhouse connected to Audrey’s. He loved loud video-games, his raucous buddies, and pizza. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, so life was one big party to him. Or so it seemed to Audrey, who was nothing but annoyed by him.


Things change when a chubby, bundle of joy is left on Don’s doorstep, forcing the two neighbors to join forces for the welfare of little Chloe.


Sparks fly when they begin to see each other a little differently and realize that things, and people, aren’t always as they appear.

Kissing The Counsel by Jillian Riley

A fake marriage. A real baby. One huge mess.


Avery Price needs quick cash to save her bridal shop. When she discovers a way to win $50,000, she jumps at the chance. The only catch is, she has to get married or at least stage a convincing wedding. Her best bet is Beach Pointe’s most eligible bachelor. But he hates everything to do with marriage.


Veterinarian Dr. Jack Maddox is a magnet for every gold-digger in town, but Avery is the only one who’s ever walked out on the chance to share his bed. When he finds her in his kitchen in only an apron, he’s shocked that she’s changed her mind, but there’s a catch (of course).


Though he’d rather poke his eye out with a fork than even pretend to get married, he can handle a little acting for this fun-sized wildcat.


But, starting a family was never part of the deal…

Love Auction

by Lindsey Hart


OMG! Did I just bid and win a date with Shane Rempel for over one thousand dollars?!


What the hell was I thinking? Was I not the one who just said I would never spend that kind of money for a date with a stranger?!


Apparently, all sane thoughts just flew right out the moment HE walked up on that stage at the auction.


I was hooked line, sinker and all.


And let me tell you, if you spend that much money for a date, you definitely go on that date. So, I went.


And guess what? It kind of ended with me starting a war with the guy on the said date. And I even did a walkout.


Yeps and after that disastrous first meeting, you definitely do not expect the guy to turn up at your workplace asking for another date!


But he did. And guess what I did…

Marketing has always been difficult for me. In the beginning I was naive enough to believe that when I posted my book on Amazon, it would miraculously sell on it’s own. That has not been the case. I have had to stop just short of selling my first born to get eyes onto my books, just as most indie writers have done. Amazon owns the algorithm that decides whose books will see the light of day, so in order for indies like myself, who don’t have massive marketing budgets, to get eyes to see their books, we have to buy advertising in numerous ways. This includes buying Facebook Ads, AMS Ads, Bookbub Ads, trying to get on the various books lists, like Bookbub, Free Booksy/Bargain Booksy, Robin Reads, etc.


Marketing for ebooks is very competitive. It is also very subjective because it doesn’t work the same for every author. Many times we are taking a big gamble when we spend our marketing dollars (well at least less prolific writers such as myself are. More popular authors can afford to spend the big dollars on testing ads to get them just right. Less popular authors operate on wings and prayers). We are well aware of the old adage that it takes money to make money, but when you don’t have any to begin with, it is almost impossible.


Recently, I have re-discovered newsletter swaps. This is a cost-free and often fairly lucrative way to market ebooks without a cash outlay. I am beginning this week to swap with some other authors, so you’ll be seeing books from various authors and genres appearing in my Newsletter because other small authors and myself are sharing each others’s books. And let me just say, todays offerings are as HOT as Hell!! Check them out!


I am also still working on getting something out for you guys to read early this year. However, as you all know, I am still working a 60-hour a week day job, and a 20-hour weekend gig, so bear with me.

Writing, Writing, Writing
(Among Other Things!)

[image error]




Writing for me is catharsis, but it is also a double-edged sword. Why? Because writing requires me to spend hours with my “butt in a chair, hands on keyboard” (or BICHOK, for those of you who are catchphrase savvy). Over time, my weight creeped up in epic proportions and my health has suffered, but the writing is just one part of the equation. There are many other stressors in my life that contribute to the equation that has gotten me to where I am now. But that’s neither here nor there, because I don’t care to elaborate on every single non-positive thing in my life right now. We’ll just concentrate on weight for starters.


Back in December, I had a minor medical issue which required a procedure be done in urgent care. I got on the scale and it scared the crap out of me! I had somehow allowed myself to get to a weight that I’d rather not share with you at this time. (Oh vanity!) So, I said to myself, “Self, you’ve got to do something about this pronto.” Well, pronto became New Year Resolution, and New Year Resolution became Diet, and Diet chosen became Ketogenic.


Beginning January 2nd I jumped on the bandwagon of a lot of Hollywood A-Listers and Diet Aficionados who have sworn by the Ketogenic Diet and, so far, I’m seeing promising results. As an April baby, I tend to be prone to not finishing things unless it’s a passion or something I love so much it never occurs to me to leave it incomplete. I am hoping that by telling you all about this new thing, you will keep me accountable. Also, I hope you will tell me if you’ve been successful with a diet or lifestyle plan that you’d like to share with me. I love hearing inspirational success stories, or new beginnings, so email me at [email protected] and tell me what you’ve done lately to make yourself healthier.


I am working on getting something out for you guys to read early this year. As per usual, I am working a 60-hour a week day job, and a 20-hour weekend gig, so bear with me.
