My First Book

I haven't posted in awhile, I have been kind of busy lately. I have two new paintings that I need to get framed, and on Etsy, and I have been writing my first short story that is now published. I chose to self publish just to see how well that works for me. Now don't think I am changing what I like doing to writing now; I have been writing longer than I have been painting. It is another art form that I like to express myself through. I have a full length book that I have been working on for awhile now, and have yet to finish. I decided to work on a few short stories that I could get published quickly. My short stories are for a specific demographic because the are likely to offend some.

I decided to reread all of my favorite Grimm's Fairy Tales, and that sparked an idea. A lot of women are into erotic romances right since the release of 50 Shades of Grey. I haven't gotten a chance to read all three books, but I have started the first one, and I do enjoy it. So with that in mind I decided that I would take few to the Grimm's most popular stories and tell what the heroines are doing now. As you can guess these will not be the fairy tales that we all no and love, but they do all have happy endings. (No pun intended)

My series of erotic fairy tales is called Fatefully Ever After. My first book looks at the new life of Rapunzel. Everybody knows how the original ended; the Prince gets thrown out of the tower and blinded by thorns and wonders around until he hears Rapunzel's singing. They then live out their lives happily ever after with their twins, but what is something happened between them. Sadly in my version the Prince has died and Rapunzel flees her home, and lands in the 1970's in Nevada.

She finds herself owning her own brothel that specializes in bondage. She has sworn off men since the Prince died because she feels that there is no other man for her. That is until Nick shows up. Nick is her landlords son and he has come to town to look after is father and his father's buildings. Nick falls instantly for Rapunzel the moment he lays his eyes on her, but she takes a little more persuasion. Rapunzel slowly finds that she is falling for him, but can't seem to let go of the Prince. Rapunzel shares many sexual scenes with her clients in her brothel before she finally is able to five herself to Nick. During her struggles with letting go of the past her best friend Naomi helps her, and she meets a new client that gives $500 tips. 

I also drew the cover for my book as well. I got to try out my new found drawing abilities and my watercolor pencils. Those are so much fun to use. Yes they are pretty much just colored pencils, but you can use the while wet or color over the with water to get a more smooth or textured finish.

Once I scanned  it into my computer I did a little bit of editing. Nothing major just made her hair a little bit brighter and did a soft focus around the edge so that Rapunzel really popped out of the picture.

I have, so far, published my book as a ebook on the Kindle marketplace and has a paperback through Createspace. Createspace will also make the paperback available are Kindle, but that will take a couple of days. Here are the links to my book. My ebook is available here and the paperback is available here.

I'm sure you thought you get out of reading about me plugging my paintings as well. Not so fast you can't get that lucky. While you are checking out my new book just walk write over to etsy and take a look at my paintings here.

Just to entice you a little bit. My two paintings that I will post next are called Rainbow Tears and Eruption. They are complete abstract, and were a little messy to make. I might even right a blog post to share some of my earlier drawings and then my drawings after I finished my learning how to draw book. My next erotic fairy tale will follow Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose journey in finding her true love. I hoped you enjoyed my new post, and please check out my book. Have a great day!
