When I began to self-publish some of my short stories I had hoped to put them on Kindle too, but I had difficulty with the system – I suspected it was something I was doing wrong because other authors didn’t seem to have problems! Well, I finally managed to work out what I was doing wrong and this weekend I uploaded my three stories to Kindle!
I’m taking part in the Read an E-Book Week promotion starting tomorrow for one week. I am offering two of my books at 50% off on Smashwords! They are both short stories that I have published myself which is why I could choose to offer them for only $0.99 during the promotion period. The first one, Roll of the Dice, is a contemporary friends-to-lovers story and the second, Cut and Thrust, is an historical story about two musketeers.

Gay erotic romance – love knows no boundaries
I was so pleased with the result for Roll of the Dice, I decided to go ahead and put another short story up on Smashwords. I put my historical short story, Cut & Thrust, up on 1Place for Romance last year and it has done reasonably well, and I am now wondering why on earth I didn’t put it up on Smashwords at the same time. Ah well, we live and learn. So now Cut & Thrust is up on Smashwords too, and I was right too about it being much easier the second time around<g>.
Here’s the link for it on Smashwords:

I have published Cut & Thrust, a short historical story, through 1Romance eBooks. The story was originally published in 2007 as part of an anthology and has not been available for some time.
BLURB: Set in the Paris of Louis XIV, this is the story of a young man who wishes to be a Musketeer, only to be surprised when he recognizes the Captain of the Academy of the best friend of his older brother, a young man he had admired as a boy.

The Men in Uniform II Anthology is out from Torquere Press tomorrow and included in its pages is my short story, Cut & Thrust – a tale of two musketeers who want to do more than cross swords!

Available now: Cane Smoke Screen Pinpricks Men in Uniform II
Busy weekend. Got the edits back for Cut & Thrust, my anthology story due out in September. Nothing too major thank goodness, still time consuming, but worth it!
Also got infomation that the Proof had been done for A Million Pinpricks (nice to be told the Proofer really enjoyed it!). Just a minor re-write on one paragraph needed – amazing it took me almost as long to rework that as it did to write two pages of my current project. Hopefully, it is fine, the story needs to go for publishing on the 20th!
I have worked with four different editors in the last few weeks and I think I have learned quite a bit. Hopefully my future works will need less effort all round (fingers crossed!)

Heard today my submission for an anthology has been accepted! Excellent news. This was my first submission for an anthology so I’m really chuffed. I can’t believe how wonderful these past few weeks have been.
The piece is an historical one about the Musketeers of the French King (not *the* Musketeers, my story is set about 30 years later than Dumas’ story) and the anthology is about Men in Uniform, any uniform, any period – should be a lot of fun. Due in September.
