Polygirl Publishing

The moment I came across The Narcoleptic Vampire Series the polygirl in me couldn’t resist checking it out.  I’m so glad I did.  Dicey has a talented way of blending the paranormal with romance, erotica, action, and a healthy dose of humor that keeps you wanting more.  Her books are currently available on Amazon.com.

I do my best to write sexy, wild, and daring stories featuring the most unusual characters. My latest story, ZEEK’S LOVING THORN: A Novella of The Narcoleptic Vampire Series Vol. 3.1, fits my objective perfectly. While it, or any of my risqué books, is not for every reader, it IS for those looking for non-cookie cutter characters in non-formulaic plots. In this paranormal romance, Zeek, an intersexed vampire, falls for a human, who was left behind after a world-wide event that marked the disappearance of many people. Gain insight into this complicated character by reading the following excerpt:

“Zeek had been born a third gender. A femiman, not to be confused with the slang “shemale” used to describe someone born a man who took hormones or had breast implants to look more like a woman. Zeek could have decided to live as a woman, a man, both, or neither. She was an anomaly for those wanting to box everyone into a particular sexual orientation, gender self-identity, or traditional gender role. Especially those wanting to impart a moral code to every aspect of life. Some things didn’t, and shouldn’t, apply to her.

She’d been born with both male and female genitalia. Both sexes were developed, yet underdeveloped. She’d had no control over it. Up until puberty, she had tried to function androgynously, though her preference was to dress up as a pretty girl. After that, she had prayed and prayed her boobs would grow. They never did, not to voluptuousness. Just as well since doctors had said she’d never have children. She wouldn’t have to worry about breastfeeding or saggy tits. Her hips had never filled out either, and her already large clit had grown even more until it resembled the penis in their Sex Education book. Now, that had been a ballbuster, so to speak, because she didn’t really have well developed external testes either.

She had known it would be difficult living outwardly as a woman, but that’s what she had chosen. It’s who she identified with. She’d learned to always sit down to pee when she was human, and never go for convenience just because she could. People wouldn’t understand that, and they ridiculed what they didn’t understand.”

Curious about how Zeek’s and Thorn’s romance turns out? Excellent. But don’t jump into this novella without understanding the world they are in. You can read the whole series in this order: Sleepy Willow’s Bonded Soul (Vol. 1), Sleepy Willow’s Heartless Soul (Vol. 2), Sleepy Willow’s Loosed Soul (Vol. 3), and THEN you will be ready for Zeek’s Loving Thorn.

On another note, please join me next month when I’ll be hosting the one and only Dicey Grenor, author of the The Narcoleptic Vampire Series.  If you haven’t read these or any of her books, trust me, you’re missing out.

Now I must sleep.  Good night.

It’s been almost a year to the day since Healing Inc. debuted on April 2, 2012.  What have I learned?  A lot.  The most important lesson I’ve learned is probably one you’ll hear over and over again in the world of self publishing… Invest in a good editor.  A good editor is worth their weight in gold.  I was blessed to find one who not only does a superb job, but has a great sense of humor.  Ms. Devin is not in it to coddle.  She provides precious feedback that makes me think and provides sound suggestions, which help enhance the quality of my work.

The second most important lesson: No matter how great the idea, there will come a time during a work in progress where you start to think “this is stupid”.  With the support of great readers and family, I have learned to push through these periods of self doubt.  How?  I write on.  Everything always seems to get better with re-writing and editing.  Still, that initial doubt is a powerful thing and often leads to the death of many a great idea.  If you plan on becoming a writer, please don’t let it.

And lesson three:  Write what you want to read.  Not everyone is going to like what you write and as long as they can, some will voice as much.  Some will criticize content.  Others will criticize style.  It won’t always be easy to ignore their opinions.  My suggestion; hang with those who want you around and don’t waste precious time trying to fit in with those who don’t.  More than likely, you will find your audience.  These are the people you continue to share your imagination with.

Well, I hope bit of info is helpful to someone.  My next book Luca’s Dilemma is due to be released by the end of April.  Here’s to another year of happy writing.
