Mermaid's Kiss is back up!

I think I got the bugs worked out. :) It's back up a amazon.com/author/m-allman

I did upload the wrong version, but just to be safe I went over it typos, and hopefully it is good to go! *fingers crossed.

Happy reading!

Typos! Bleh!

So, a nice reader/reviewer has brought it to my attention that Mermaid's Kiss does have a few typos. I'm looking into that today, so the book will not be available until I go over it again. I'm wondering if, just maybe, I didn't upload the latest version. Hmmm...

Anything is possible. I'll be the first to admit I am human and do make mistakes. I did have three other writers declare it error free, so maybe we all need glasses. He he!

Anyway, I will spend today finding the latest draft and going over it word by word.

Happy Saturday, and Happy Reading!

Review of Montequero By Jenny Twist

Mantequero is a short story, but still satisfies the reader. Jenny introduces us to the heroine, June, who has spent her life alone, overweight, and content, but not really happy. She is forced to make a change when her sisters, who are both thin and married, suggest she be the one to move in with and care for their mother. So, she lies and says she’s planned a trip with a friend, but goes away alone to Spain. But, she does meet someone while she’s away. A mysterious man who actually thinks she is beautiful.

June invites this mysterious man into her life and her bed, and for the first time she enjoys the male attention, so much so that she ignores that she seems to be losing weight rapidly. Even when she is told of the legend of the Mantequero, she continues to see him.

While reading this story I feel sympathy for June and understand why she was so eager to give herself to the mysterious stranger. And, why she continues to see him, even though it may not be the wisest decision.

You can find all the books Jenny Twist has available on her Amazon Author Page

I Got My Writing Mojo Back

For months I just couldn't get myself to write anything, except for work. I had ideas and wanted to finish several projects, but I just didn't have in me. But...now that I've finished Mermaid's Kiss, I feel like I'm ready to dive in an finish my other stories that have been waiting patiently in my document folder for well over a year.

I have new projects in mind, too, but I am going to finish older stuff first. Right now I'm working on Metamorphosis,which is another YA short story about a young girl who is relies her her faith and family to come to terms with her mother's untimely death and the rumors about her father. I plant to publish this story on Kindle in August.

I'm also working on editing and formatting the stories for my second Flashes of Fiction. I plan to publish it on Kindle June 1st.

RIP Tales From Imagination's Closet

Well, it's been three years since I had my first book published, Tales from Imagination's Closet. This means my contract is up with Melange Books, and I decided to have the rights come back to me. I am not going self-publish it as it is, instead, I'm going to include some of the stories in my Flashes of Fiction volumes, and I do have plans for some of the longer stories as well.  I believe it's time for a change. :)

In other news...

I now have a Tumblr, so feel free to follow me there if you would like. I'll be posting all things freelance writing and fiction writing.

I've added more creative writing to my Yahoo Contributor page, and there is more to come in the new few weeks, so stop by if you are in the mood to read.

I'll working hard to edit and make sure all formatting is ready for Mermaid's Kiss to go live on April 30th. It will be a Kindle Single for 99 cents. I'll have an excerpt and blurb up on the blog Monday.

Flashes of Fiction (Volume 2) Will be out June 1st.
Stories include:
Finder's Weepers: Leonard get caught up in his own web of lies.
Remain Calm: The insane never question their own sanity.
Punctilious: Being on time just may be a matter of life and death
Assailant: A strange rash of burglaries occur ahead of a warm front.
Laugh Like a Baby: A story of mixed up emotions--Literally!

Stories at Alfie Dog Fiction

I have two short children's stories available at Alfie Dog Fiction.

Fridge Fight -Something stinks in the refrigerator, and all the foods have their own theory on who it is, which erupts into a humorous quarrel.

Stinky Ol' Pig- Percy wants to prove to the other barnyard animal that he's not just another stinky pig. Instead of rolling in the mud, he likes to roll in the sweet honeysuckle along the fence.

Also, I am on schedule to have Mermaid's Kiss available on Kindle April 30th. Yay!

I had to put so many projects on hold, so it feels nice to be so close to finishing this one. I'll have a blurb and excerpt up on the blog sometime next week.

Happy Reading!
