I hope you enjoy your cyber launch party today and here's to your new releases being bestsellers for you all! Have fun!
Hey from Georgia!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you contacted me on Goodreads. I'm a longtime fan of Author's Island. A little about me- I write, read and research every single day. Research is my favorite of the three; I love learning new things. I enjoy old movies at the drive-in, playing board games and drinking sweet tea with tons of sugar.
About my short story, Toy Box. I wrote this a few years ago for a contest on Vibrator.com and won first place. It sat on my hard drive for a while and one day I pulled it out, revamped and sent it to Red Rose Publishing. It's a small taste of my writing and one that I hope readers will enjoy. Many of my characters engage in some form of BDSM, as these characters do. Toy Box is more about the mindset than the actual play form of D/s.
I hope someone asks me a question, I'll be on and off most of the day. If you want to know more about me, visit my website: http://www.kissastarling.com
Thanks!
My, my, break out the fan. Just the type of story I need to help me hibernate this winter. My question to any of you is do you read your reviews and if so do you let it affect your writing?
ReplyDelete1_trouble@msn.com
Donna, I happened to think that I didn't answer your question fully. While I certainly don't enjoy a review that berates my writing, I put it into perspective. I have such a huge support base through family, friends and others I haven't even met, that I strive to continue writing from the heart so that I don't disappoint those I hold dear. I appreciate the questions. I was afraid I'd be lounging around the island by myself all day!
DeleteHi Kissa:
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the blurb and the excerpt for your book. What is a typical day of writing for you, do you like to listen to music or do you prefer quiet?

Thanks for reading the blurb and the excerpt, Jean! What is a typical day of writing like for me?
DeleteI almost always have some kind of noise in the background while I'm writing. Sometimes it is reruns of NCIS and other times it is classic rock. It doesn't matter what it is because I tune it out about five minutes after I begin writing. I have to get into the story to write it, often assuming poses the characters are taking so I don't write the impossible, or listening to the song they like or even eating the food they have. I'm bad about stopping for breaks so music in the background is good because if something like Move Like Jagar comes on I get up and dance with my dog for a few minutes. Ha, ha. My german shepherd loves to dance! Uh, oh. I'm rambling again, better get back to work. Thanks for stopping by!
BTW Kissa I too am from GA. Really glad Issac missed us.
ReplyDeleteHey Donna!
DeleteNice to meet someone else from Georgia. I love finding reviews and I always read them. I know that my stories aren't for everyone, but I do hope to elicit some form of emotion from those who read them. The nicest thing I ever read in a review- I wish it had been longer. The worst thing, so far, is that I didn't develop my characters enough. I understand that. I have almost all short stories published at this point, I don't always focus on developing the characters as much as I would in a full length novel. I will say that I have taken the hint and I'm working on a full length novel as we speak, so to say.
PS- The sun is out, it is a beautiful day and I, too, am glad Issac missed us! I feel so sorry for others who weren't so lucky. I'm counting my blessings.
I am loving the sound of each and every one of these books on here! What shocked me was that I already have PARTY GIRL, INC. by Destiny Wallace I just haven't read it yet. That book just moved up on my list to read.
ReplyDeleteMy question is for any of the authors to answer. Do you have a favorite book that you enjoyed writing? Are there any genre's that you don't want to read or write? Sorry that's more than one question I was just really curious.
tiffanykrepps @ gmail . com
Hello Tiffany.I would have to say my favorite book I have written so far has to be Dust of Darkness. I fell in love with both Raina and Sarkis. *leans in closer and whipsers* But, I did have a bad crush on Roderick, even though his appearance was a brief one. hahahahaha
DeleteAs for a certain genre? I love them all...*giggles*
Hey Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great group of books; I have to agree with you on that. Red Rose publishes a variety of passion.
A favorite book that I have enjoyed writing? I'll have to say a favorite series, my Lifestyle Series is about couples who live the BDSM lifestyle and are married. They have problems to work through just like every other couple in a relationship and I address these throughout this series. So many write about the sex and the 'fun' part but I thought it was important to show that some marriages are strong in the lifestyle despite their issues.
are there any genres I don't want to read? Never, I love reading. It's all about the characters and the author for me. Any pairing can work if done right and the relationship appeals to me.
As far as a genre I'd never write- never say never, right? As of yet I've written sweet romance, hetro romance, lesbian and bisexual romance. I haven't delved into gay romance, m/m. I have no experience with this, but like I said, I would never totally rule it out. I've read a few phenomenal gay romances and until I could do that genre proud, I'll stick with what I have.
Thanks for the question.
Hello Everyone...My name is Scarlet Hunter. Thank you Author Island, for posting Thirst of the Sea. I am such a HUGE fan! If anyone is interested you can also find me at www.scarlethunter.com and check out my Blog scarlethunter11@blogspot.com I'd love for anyone to stop by and say HI!!!! *smiles*
ReplyDeleteI love your title, Scarlet!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kissa *smiles*
DeleteOoh, these sound fun! Congrats on your new releases, Destiny, Clara, Kindle, Scarlet, and Kissa! Are your stories stand-alone, or part of a series? Are you doing anything special to celebrate?
ReplyDeletef dot chen at comcast dot net
Thank you, fichen1
DeleteThirst of the Sea is not part of a Series. However, my other two releases available now at Red Rose are. Dust of Darkness is Book One to The Reign of Darkness Series.
My first eBook release, (Snowline's Visitor), one of four stories in 'A Special Christmas Anthology' is Book One to the Arise of the Guardians Series.
I am hoping to have Book Two in both those series available in 2013 *smiles* As far as celebrating? hahahaha I usually celebrate with a glass of wine in the company of some of my dearest friends.
Hey Flchen!
ReplyDeleteToy Box is a stand alone title. The characters are brand new and not part of another book. I love series though so I may write another one with this couple, especially since it is so short.
I love to celebrate! This time my husband took me out to dinner and I got busy telling everyone about it. I love getting new covers and releasing new books. It's so much fun!
Thanks for the question.
I'd love a few new friends on facebook:

Congratulations to you all! All the books sound good. How will you be celebrating?
ReplyDeletebn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
Hey BN!
ReplyDeleteThose are some sexy initials. : )
I kind of answered this above, usually my husband takes me out to dinner or a date to celebrate. As an author the best way to celebrate is to write another book so that I can plan another release. haha
Thanks for the question and I hope you drop by Red Rose Publishing soon.
I'd love a few new Twitter followers:

I love when Author Island has publisher days when we can learn about several new books and authors. I'm very excited because I believe all of you are new-to-me authors! I will have to check my records, because Kissa's name sounds familiar, but I can't recall reading any of her books off the top of my head. And as I have mentioned, I love finding new authors to love :)
ReplyDeleteMy question is for all of you, what was the inspiration to make you actually sit down and write that first word?
Now I'm off to check out each of your books and, I'm sure, add to my mountainous to-read pile! Much success on your new books!
Hey Beckie!
ReplyDelete(I love the way you spell your name by the way)
I've always enjoyed writing since I was young. I remember finding one of those multi-colored pens and drawing a circus on my mother's white wall when I was about four or five. Before she caught me I'd made up a story to go with all of the people in the circus. I have to say- it was well worth it!
Now as far as writing with the intent to publish, that came about for me when I saw a contest call. I thought to myself, I can do that! It takes a lot of patience, motivation and help along the way to succeed. I've been lucky with all. Thanks for your question, Beckie and don't forget to add your email.
Wow these all sound great .Thank you all for sharing with us .You rock.Have a great weekend
