Quickie no.3, All Aboard!

Here's the slightly altered cover I went with, which didn't help matters one whit. I fought with the plot, the characters and the porn, despite my thinking writing Quickies would help when I was drowning in a writing rut.  Ha.

I left it alone for a couple days because the laptop had died, then slouched on the sofa with the IBM and banged out a plot only very slightly what I had intended when I wrote myself into a corner with the title already posted at the end of Zero G-Spot.  It went in a rather unexpectedly, ummm, wet direction.

Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Quickie no. 3

"All Aboard!" has finally been uploaded and should go live on Amazon early tomorrow.  I wound up having to edit it on the Kindle after fighting with three different laptops, one being completely dead now.

I'll have the links here when I update the post once the Nook version goes live-- they tend to take around 72 hours no matter what.  Amazon now takes maybe 4-5 hours for each story I've published.

Grr.

I just lost a chunk of work because one of my laptops suddenly crapped out on me. You know, you type up that perfect turn of phrase, the wittiest line of your sad, sad writing career, then the screen goes black and all the little lights go dead and you say words sailors haven't even heard of. I'll be kicking myself for the rest of the day to try and rewrite those two lost paragraphs I've imagined were much better than they probably were in reality. 

Two stinking paragraphs.  TWO.

So I put away the shiny new-ish Windows piece of poopy and dusted off the elderly IBM loaded with Linux, which I should've been using anyway because there's something just not right about the newer one's keyboard. Like, it sounds cheap and the L key never seems to work for some reason when I type fast and the keys are too flat and oh my god I can't stand it. 

Of course my fancy graphics programs are on the poopy new one so I still have to use it.  Fuck a duck sideways.

Couple hours later... Christ on a bike. It's dead as some doo-doos, most likely due to a power supply issue rather than a deceased hard drive because none of the little lights are on.  I've replaced half a dozen hard drives and things with dead hard drives usually boot up even if they only click and whirr at me.  I at least was able to backup everything before it died for good.

So, yay for me having to use an old version of LibreOffice with no spellcheck or thesaurus which were both on there the last time I used this elderly laptop.

Updated Quickie no. 2

I didn't feel like Quickie no. 2 "Zero G-Spot" was strong enough so I did a rewrite and just now uploaded the new manuscript. It usually only takes Amazon a few hours to post any changes so the corrected version should go live sometime before 5:00 pm EST.

I could've said the hell with it and left it but I didn't want a snoozy load of crap with a great cover floating around out there with my name on it, even for 99¢. It was porny, yes, but just not porny enough.

Update:  New version is now live!

New Scienfornication Story Preview

The word "scienfornication" is a play on Amazing Stories' awesome "Scientifiction" logo ("scientifiction" was the term used before "science fiction"). Why not? There's science. There's fornication. No reason why I shouldn't cram both words together into an ungodly portmanteau.

I remembered to put "scienfornication" on the cover of The Empress of Orgazma, then forgot to put it on any of the others. Go me!

Here's a preview of the cover of Quickie no. 3: All Aboard! which should go live by the 21st.

"A Thrilling New Scienfornication Story."  Yeah, this cover's totally getting flagged as "adult" despite having her naughty bits covered by text and whatnot, though her whatnots aren't completely hidden.

Science!
