I'm back and taking a bite out of self publishing :-[ (fangs, lol)

For those of you that are new to this page - WELCOME and I hope you enjoy "the show".
To my peeps coming back, I missed you all and am glad to see you have returned.

As I lost my publisher (Secret Cravings) on 9/1/2015 and have all my rights back, I am rewriting two of the three that were published and will be self publishing them on Amazon. Not only do I have those two pretty babies (Andromeda, my best seller at SCP and To Have and Too Bold) but I have written one contemporary romance, one paranormal gothic romance, and am on book two in my first paranormal series (HFN). I'm over the moon with my muse and I hope we are (BFF) Best Friends Forever. Along the depression paved road since losing my publisher, I dared myself to wiggle out of my comfort zone and write things I never thought I could do when I started writing my first book at 17 (Just to be Left Alone, romantic suspense). 
Being who I am, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find an editor or agent that liked my twisted voice but I realized that I didn't have to wait for their acceptance to live my dream. Yes, I sent out the items listed above but most were rejected as I don't write for a set book line or agent in mind. My stories are for me and anyone who is a misfit like me in their hungers for southern sass with a bite. (see what I did there?)

So, I need you guys to stay tuned as I start something else that scared the boy shorts right off of my curvy butt.......I'm going to write a novella online just for my readers and supporters. IF, yes IF, this can be pulled off (like a thong on prom night) then you guys can go online each week and read a FREE new scene in a story that I might even publish in whole as a freebie to my followers. Being a pantser means this is not even plotted out to the end (yet) and will not be stringently edited (as I can't afford that) but will be a tale straight from my naughty little inner musings.

Since I'm putting out paranormal on my first few flights of fancy into self publishing, this novella will be samples of how I write in the raw. Any editor or agent who happens to come across it can see if I'm a fit for my Non Paranormal babies to be submitted to them but make no mistake, I intend on getting all of them out of my mental box and onto the pages of your screen for you to enjoy. No, I'm not making any money as I do this and won't for some time but passion is not always driven by a wallet on a backhoe. 

Stick with me peeps, and let's see where this new adventure takes us.
