The problem with safe space
As someone who wishes to one day go to a book conference/signing – even though I have done a fair number of cons with my Artist and I know how hard it would be physically and mentally, and how crowded it is and overwhelming and overstimulating – the discourse after RTD has been interesting to watch unfold.
And as someone who recently realized that I actually do need mobility aids, despite being…

At the start again
When I came back to writing out of necessity, I had to learn to be a plotter. Knowing what I was going to write before going into that space of time where I had a free hour was the only way I could get words down and finish a book — especially because I didn’t have a lot of free time.
But in some cases, that makes the start of writing a new book slow – because I won’t start till I have a solid…

Less than perfect is how I roll
Bad reviews.
Horrible onslaught of imposter syndrome.
Formatting errors because your brain is disabledaf like that.
These are some of the things that can add a low to my bookworld.
But do you know what I really, really could have done without this week?
Not another review telling me how much my FMC rubbed them the wrong way and making me question if they’ve met a neuro-spicy person before,…

The distractions are afoul
This Wednesday fins me loving that the sun is shining it’s warm enough to be outside with just a sweater and my coffee is only half cold.
But these edits are kicking my butt, so I’m not around much-ish and my KDP dashboard shows 0 reads on Five Days to Be Mine. It’s fine. It’s fine.
Because I’m kind of in a Mercy brain, I’m sharing a snippet from Sold to Her Enemy. This book has been wild to…

A praise kink is more than a "good girl"
It’s Friday and it’s not snowing and those are definitely wins!
In Flame For A Weekend, Dax and Gardenia finally give into the attraction that’s sizzled between them. This is a novella where the FMC is exploring age play, submission and a power exchange dynamic. It’s also where in a 35k novella, “Good girl” is said 35 times. Because the character Dax, loves to give out praise. But a praise kink…

Another new cover ... She's a damsel in distress and doesn't know it...
Flame For You, the first book in the Bandit Brothers Series, came out in March 2022.
That’s wild! I can’t believe it’s been two years, and I can’t believe all the books that have followed since.
I’m so, so grateful to be doing this indie author thing.
A post came across my feed, from a mom wanting to desperately write and not being able to find the time. That pulled hard on my heartstrings…

The one about the bodyguard and brat.
Why am I re-doing the covers?
I know some readers loved the OG flame covers but I’m trying to get into more promotions and wanted all the covers to match. Updated paperbacks are coming. When I went in to update the front page on Flame For Chance today, I read. And kept reading and kind of loved it.
What’s not to love about a brat who kind of , not really, knows what she wants?

Teaser Tuesday: You probably shouldn't hook up with the guy your brother hates.
Then again? It turned out to be a good idea.
This TeaserTuesday is from Flame For Foe and I’m dropping it quick here to run back to a pile of blankets and ignore the snow on the first day of spring because ugh. I can’t!

At this point my only goal is to move to a warmer climate.
#kidding
#notreally
How is one supposed to do anything under these conditions? But I bundled up and went out with the humans I live with and froze my face off. Before I did that, I got down 3k and feel like this book is out of the “isitdonealready” stage and onto the “it’s getting there stage.”

It smells and looks like snow out there – and I don’t like it.
Here with coffee and too little sleep. Gotta fight through the case of “Why isn’t this book done yet?” and actually get this book done.
If it’s green where you are? I’m so jealous.

What is wrong with "light" BD$M?
Nothing.
What you do in your dailys, have at.
I took on the suggestion that I use “light BDSM” in describing Five Days to Be Mine so I made up a graphic to share in Saturday promos but…it has me kind of cringe. Because this doesn’t really describe anything, and if it was out of the book realm, I might wonder if “light” is just a way to cover up “not being safe because Domly one asked nicely.”
But…

Wish it was longer...
The best part about being an indie author is connecting to readers & having readers who email ASAP when you send out an incorrect link in your newsletter that makes you feel like you have to quit doing this but you somehow manage to take a breath and send out a correction link and it’s oddly kind of making you feel like the editor you mildly dream about being (in some posh setting. It’s a dream,…

The scramble after
The day after Five Days to Be Mine’s launch day, has me all kinds of distracted. It’s chilly here. This morning, there were very large trucks with flashing lights across the street and it kept me away from my keyboard.
And then after getting half a chapter in, a migraine hit that left me reeling. the weather change of is it spring? is it still winter? has to stop, already.
I don’t know how…

It's Release Day! Of course, it didn't go as planned ....
It’s Release Day for the second Mercy Denton book!
And of course, I’m greeting this release day being sleep deprived due to being up with one of my cubs three times in the middle of the night, because that’s #momauthorlife and I know there are things that I have forgotten to do.
And of course, my newsletter went out at the wrong time because, #dyscalculia, and I was wondering why I had no…

Take it Tuesday: Two different teasers ....
I might trying to distract myself from tomorrow’s release and it might not be working at all.
For this Tuesday’s Teaser I’m sharing a tease from Five Days to Be Mine (writing as Mercy Denton) that is out in KU tomorrow! This is from a scene where Mara is aware she brushed up against one of Evan’s triggers.
I think having more books with a MC who has a trigger due to their past and how they are…

Monday Musings: Is there enough coffee?
Ugh.
The Daylight Savings thing, ugh.
I’m not sure if there is enough coffee to get through the confusion and the feeling that everything is happening at the wrong time! We got a dusting of snow over the weekend, but fortunately, it has melted.
Trying to dust off the cobwebs to get to work and thinking of a question I saw on the clock app. “Of all the *spicy* activities that exist, the really…

When he treats the plus sized submissive like a goddess...
In my defense, there was sun behind the curtain. So you can understand why my morning plan included thinking of getting my small humans out the door to go to the park to ride their scooters, because this was before I got myself out of bed and opened the curtain.
We got snow out there.
So not the day to zoom around the park.
Mercy’s next book, Five Days to Be Mine is out on Wednesday. I am so…
