I started to lead this off by saying that it’s been a tough second half of April for me, but that’s not really true. It’s just been busy. Between the world burning and a heavy workload and some personal things to take care of (not all bad things), I haven’t read or written nearly as much as I’d like.
Write-y Stuff
I did get a couple of good stories published to Medium that I think you’ll enjoy.
I haven’t really gotten a lot of reaction (positive or negative) to my Road Stories series, but what the hell – I like them, and I enjoy writing them.
“Road Stories: The Customer” finds Scott back in Chicago, babysitting the implementation of the software solution he sold after months of effort. The customer is so pleased that she rewards Scott and his project manager in the very best way possible. I generally write hotwife fiction from the perspective of the bull, so check it out and let me know what you think!
I had two related entries for the “Spring Formal” prompt at Exceptional Erotica in April. The first - “Grove Park: Wedding Bells” - found the mother and father of the groom pressed into service to take care of the bride’s stepmom after the father of the bride disappeared with one of the bridesmaids. And take care of her they did!
The second story - “Grove Park: Wedding Night” - is centered on the bride and groom, who have no intention of spending their wedding night with just the two of them. But Ashley’s last second invitation to her old boyfriend threatens to throw Lucas for a loop.
If you’re not paying for a Medium sub, I’m posting some of my Medium writings on Literotica on a delay. You can find most of the Road Stories there now, including Revenge Porn.
I just submitted “The Consultant: Mothers and Daughters” to Kindle – the eBook should be available by the weekend. Jim Kennerly is my favorite male MC (you met him in “Neighborhood Wives”) and now he’s fallen in love – with the stepmom of one of his neighbors that he’s already slept with. Complicated!
Read-y Stuff
Emily Miller is one of those amazingly supportive writers that is constantly promoting other people’s work. Let me return the favor. “WhoreBnB” is the kind of clever concept that I wish I’d thought of – not only can you rent a fabulous house at the beach for a couple of weeks, but you can staff it with your choice of sex workers that will fulfill your every fantasy. But in Emily’s hands, it’s not just a fun idea – she writes real characters with real emotions (in addition to hot sex). I highly recommend this one!
I’ve mentioned that I’ve gotten some critique for not having enough conflict or tension in some of my novels. I get what they’re saying and understand what they’re looking for, but that’s not always what I want. Sometimes I want to read or write a story about pretty people enjoying having sex with each other with no jealousy or insecurity. Jordan Lubov’s “Everyone Gets Along” is a terrific little story that is exactly about that. A woman shows up at a party with a date but is enamored of one of the other guests and... it doesn’t get complicated! They have an awesome time together, no one’s feeling get hurt and the sex is searing! Given the title, I don’t think I’m offering a spoiler warning here. Check it out!
I’m hoping things calm down a bit in May and I can find a little more time to write. And to read! In the meantime, be good to each other!
Hey, thank you so much for the kind words. Emily
