Asked for advice for the first time in a few years. Might not seem a big thing, but sure is for a man who rarely asks.

Good on ya my man!

Thank you. I published my first e-book in March 2011 and remember being so excited it sold seven copies that month.

Finding my voice—and letting it be bold, sensual, and unapologetically mine.
Writing a story that made strangers whisper “I felt that.”
Receiving a comment that said “you wrote my fantasy better than I could dream it.”
Starting to believe… that maybe I am a writer. Not just playing pretend.

There are more chapters ahead. But for now, I’m proud of every word I dared to set free.

As you bloody well should be Carmina. Beautiful word smith.

Well, I can finally officially post it!!

New milestone achieved! I have officially published, for the first time, 4, yes, FOUR chapters of a series! And chapter 5 has already been submitted. And I'm almost done with Chapter 6!!!

The Tales of Shoshana is my series page, that has all 4 chapters. Hopefully, chapter 5 will be there soon.

Probably should've posted this a few days ago, but as of a few days ago I reached 500 votes on my works -- a few hundred "you're great" ratings and several dozen "you suck" ratings I look forward in a few months to when I will likely exceed 100k views upon the posting of my tenth work.

Somehow, I've passed 510,000 views. Not sure how or when. Probably a lot of point and laugh views.

I'll see your 550, and raise it 4,872, making my total 5372. My total view column is currently sitting at 636951 (ish), as of my last check. Not bragging. Well, okay, I am bragging, but that's what this thread is for!

Point-and-laugh views still count Congrats

Not as much of a milestone, but one of my proudest experiences here. Another author on Lit named KaceyLoveington listed five authors she recommends on her Patreon page recently and wrote the following about my work. If I ever need someone to write a back book cover, I know who I’m going to…

A very minor one for many of you, but Date With Mom just crossed 100 Favorites, my first story to even get close. Next closest is in the 70s.

Weird though, it went nuts for then first few days (which is normal), then all but stopped for quite a while. Been picking up again in the last few days and I'm not quite sure why.

I can't find Date with Mom on the list of your stories for some reason, but assuming it was in T/I like the title suggests, it probably picked up some readers due to your publishing another story in the same category on 7/24.

It's on my list, but I've learned not to post links or exact titles here. Too many dings as a direct result of that practice. Some intuitive adjustment of the abbreviated name will find it for those truly interested.
