Compilation

Sometimes I like to throw story excerpts in with a bunch of babble. This not only confuses all the people checking out my blog, but it also makes it hard for me to figure out what exactly I have happening here — I admit that I am incredibly disorganized.

As such, I felt that it would do myself and my fans good if I listed all the Easter eggs here. So enjoy…

Word from your mother

1) Even if a story is near to being available for purchase, it is still shown as being WIP. It only becomes COMPLETE once you can buy it.

2) “Harper Kingsley” stories are for the most part PG-13, at least when it comes to relationship stuff. On occasion things get real, but that’s usually pointed out somewhere in descriptions.

3) “Sol Crafter” stories are oriented toward adults that like HEA endings, though there may be exceptions. Mm (male-male) romance written in a fairly straight-forward style.

At different times, there may be open calls for beta readers. In those instances several readers will be chosen and GoogleDocs and email will be used to enable commenting. Appreciations are always given and heartfelt.
