Healthy Lifestyle

I am not the spokesperson for model health, I like to drink occasionally, I don't work out every single day, and I am continually learning to eat better.

Spring always makes me want to get healthier again.  The return of fresh produce, the warmer weather, softball, parks, hiking, the possibility of swimming soon and, thus, swimsuit season!

As a writer much of my time is spent sitting at my computer typing away, designing covers, writing sexy stories and spending little time on making myself sexy, but whether its just the season of love and sex or the warmer weather or the baby bunnies and "rebirth" it always makes me want to get ready for love of my own.

And one of the best ways to ensure you have a fuckible body?  Why sex of course!  Its possible to burn around 150 calories per half hour of love making!  Obviously varying based on the style of love making you do hehe.  Imagine spending an hour of love making with your lover every day.  Amazing for your relationship, amazing for your body, amazing for a healthy life!  ::Wink Wink:: So tell your lover Lesa says you need to fuck more!  

Hope you have a great weekend!

KISSES!

So my books are slowly being uploaded to Smashwords which means readers on all sorts of different devices can have the opportunity to get at my books.  I must admit that its been fun watching these hit new shelves.  

Its crazy to think about my erotica business being a year old, but its thrilling to see that we're still growing.  As I near 50 books I marvel at the realization that a year and a half ago these books weren't even in the "really planning" stage - they were more ideas that I was lightly considering.  

So where are my newest premium pieces you are asking?  Coming Coming I promise they're coming!  Also - be sure to watch for coupons - I'll be figuring those out sometime soon.  Hope you have the greatest day!

Inspirational Day

4/12/2013

As a mother, small business owner, writer, homemaker, and just with all the added bonuses of living, I just get stressed out.  

My emotions are so fatigued that I can't pick up the pen and make words make sense on the paper. I don't want to clean my house, I don't want to do financial junk for my business.  But then something shifts.  

Whether its an inspirational song coming on the radio, that workout that you haven't been squeezing in finally getting done, a zen relaxation moment in a garden, an inspirational quote, or just that cup of coffee you need to take a deep breath.  So today I am recommending to all of my readers to Take Five and Hang in There!

Enter that place within yourself that centers you.  Take a breath and focus on NOT focusing on work, deadlines, and stress.  I am including several things on this blog today that have calmed me down in moments past, please take a moment to do what you think will help you the most, or if you're so stressed out that one doesn't work, try them all!    
The grand essentials of life are something to do, something to love, something to hope for.

The Joy of \t!

4/9/2013

I have used Open Office pretty much since moving to Colorado in 2005.  I love the ease of use, the simplicity, the similarity to Word and to be honest the fact that its free.  So when Smashwords recommended me giving up my OO I was totally O.O (haha!).  I talked to my husband and decided I would try uploading one with OO still.  

It took a tiny bit of interpretation from Mark Coker's Style Guide to get the idea of what he was saying.  (But I think with the crazy repetition and language it would have taken me the same time if I did have Word!)  No offense to Mark but he made that WAY more complicated then it needed to be!  

One of the SW style requirements is no "tabs," but as a fiction writer I really like indented paragraphs.  They provided a work around setting first line to indent, simple enough except that I couldn't find the coding for "finding tab" It was certainly not the "^d ex^?" whatever he had listed that Word uses.  So, with A Night With Them Both, I simply went through and found all of my tabs manually exchanging them for the indent.  With A Voyeur's Gift - nearly 3 times in length - and the fact that I have nearly 50 more titles to upload - and will have 50+ in the near future I hope! I had to find a way to "find tab" in my find and replace box. 

So I Googled it and sure enough quickly found my shortcut.  All I had to do was select expressions and type in \t.  I wanted to sing - and so I came here.  SING! haha.  

The point is that being a tiny bit tech savvy will help an author in so many ways, and no matter how many times you think you "know the program fully" you will discover something new.  

Not to say "neener neener, pumpkin weener" to Mark Coker, but Open Office shows beautifully on Smash Words and its 10 times easier then you are making it sou

Converting Files

4/3/2013

So yesterday I posted my book up to Smashwords.

I posted my first book up last year in January, but was frustrated with how it looked (didn't quite understand the conversion process then.) and when Paypal's whole censorship thing went about and then two month's later with Mark Coker's continual efforts to remove said censorship, I ended up just leaving it down.  

Now over a year later I have finally uploaded another book to SW, hoping to expand my audience to other sources like Kobo, and Apple.  So as I go about converting my files today for SW, I thought I'd give you a fun little jam to party to.  Hope you enjoy!  Happy Hump Day!

Reviews Make My Day!

The book that I uploaded Friday, Penance: Bound and Gagged, has received its first 5 star review.  So obviously it made me very happy, but will this have long term affects on my sales? 

Well it certainly won't hurt.  I read a blog declaring "any review is a good review," and while I believe this to be true and it may help to influence them clicking that "sale" button I don't think its really helping bring new people to my books.  At least not dramatically. 

Perhaps my reviews are still too few to truly influence people looking for them by review, but they still make me happy.  When they are reviewed off the sale's sites they tend to get a few new looks for about 48 hours. 

But despite the fact that they seem to be limited in their helping, they are still thrilling and encourage me in my writing.  They make me want to write and cover and explore new situations.  Its also very encouraging that my reviews tend toward more stars.  In fact, I have only one rated at 2 stars.  It makes me pleased to be a writer.
