Monday Madness from special guest Queen of Spades (Did she say FREE?)

-

Facebook | Twitter


Hello everyone!

Queen of Spades is back in the building.  I thought I heard her mention something that had the word "FREE" in it but it could be time for me to get my hearing checked....

No, Desire! You're absolutely right. Today, May 5th, my latest work Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes is FREE on Kindle.  

 My grandfather believed strongly in the spirit of giving.  On May 5th, my grandfather lost his battle with cancer. I wanted to come up with a different way to pay homage to him on the third anniversary of his passing. He always was supportive of my writing so it only seemed fitting.

That is beautifully touching.  Thank you so much for stopping by! All the information about this work is below:


Blurb: In Life, one is expected to put her best face forward, but what if the process of revealing her best face involves putting the demons on display? Would the journey continue? Or would one stop dead in her tracks.

Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes is the response in its rawest form. It is an inside look at: in its simplest form, Life's growing pains; in its most complex form, a person battling internal and external forces to find peace in her own existence. The lines are blurred between what's real and what is embellishment in this second edition, a sleeker remastered collection that doesn't miss a step in intensity.


Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes
by Queen of Spades

FREE TODAY MONDAY MAY 5TH ON KINDLE.

Also check out Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes on Facebook.

Hold on...there's more.  Another Freebie? Get out!

Although Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes is for one day only, another collection that I was featured in--Words of Fire and Ice-- is still FREE on Smashwords until May 6th. Just enter KC89W upon checkout! Don't miss out on the #1 Best Seller on Smashwords in Poetry Anthologies!


Blurb: Lose yourself in the full range of human emotions. Happy, sad, up, down: you will soar through the sky and plummet into the deepest despair, all through the words of fire and ice contained in these pages. As you read, you will become wrapped in the magic that is poetry. Breathe in the words, and share the raw emotion captured on paper, written in blood, sweat, and tears. 

Poets featured in this collection include Patricia Frolander, Myra Biernat Wells, Robin A. Sams, Pamela Merriott, Carl “Papa” Palmer, Nicola J. McDonagh, Sherri Wright, Patricia D’Innocenzo, Judith G. Osborne, Rosemarie Czarnoska, Ryan Abram, Chantal Bellehumeur, Diane L. Lewis, Muesser Yeniay, Mellissa Black, Geoffrey A. Landis, Joan M. Roberts, Julie Lovett, Natasha Turner, Queen of Spades, Patrick Durham, and April J. Durham.

Man, Queen this is marvelous! Come on back any time.

Much appreciated, Desire.

Until next time everyone! I'm about to get my free copies.

Toodles!

Show Me (Behind the Stuntin')

Show me the man behind the stuntin I keep getting this feelin’ that you straight frontin’ Your profile seems too squeaky clean from E-harmony; Your looks getting females shook and all over your Facebook, But it just seems something’s not quite right; I picked up on it from just the first night. No, you didn’t show me any disrespect, But you’ve given me so much stuff to reflect. You spit so much about the things you have, Like the new paint job you just got on your Jag, And the money you dropped on your fancy condo- Floor so clean you can eat off the floor! And I know for many women, you’re totally awesome! But I’m not like most; I proceed with caution. Yes, I’m pleased you finished at the top of your class And there’s no criminal record on your ass And that you’re dressed like a man from GQ- No, I’m not trying to knock what you do! But with all that being said, Tell me what’s going through your head. Without starting the statement wit...

Sweet Dream

-
The rays of the sun poke against my eyelids… Leave me be; I’m not ready to awaken! You see, I am having this most incredible dream! I encountered approximately 6’5” of butter pecan: Eyes, chestnut dark, yet gentle. Lips, full to the brim but soft, Promising himself to me: For us to be Together Forever. Isn’t that the name of a song Or in some song lyric? Saying he’d be bound to me, Not just when things are right, But whenever there are plights. Have I heard it all before? Holding my breath, wondering when he will go out that door Him saying, I won’t leave unless you tell me… Voice turning my iron clad resolve Into a bowl of grape jelly; Lips running a train all over my skin, Generating slow heat beneath my skin, Crooning is this good to you baby Do you like this Or how about this? Thrilled yet pissed That my body’s sensual combination lock Got Hacked by this brand new virus And my senses are spinning And I do...

Let's Talk Thursday: Intimacy Woes

Hello Awesome Visitors. Today marks another installment of ... I want to steer away from the writing and promoting for a moment. I am curious how intimacy has been impacted since the onslaught of this pandemic. For those of you who are coupled, and one or both of you are deemed essential, do you ever worry about the risk that you may get COVID-19? Has worry about COVID-19 in a state of coupledom worked to increase the intimacy or sexual activity, or has worry dampened your desires to do anything? For the uncoupled, does it make you happier to be single? If you have companions on standby, have you interacted with them less via practicing social distancing? Have you found new ways to communicate without physical visits? Or are you throwing caution to the wind and still getting together anyway? Well, in case any of you are shy about sharing, I will go first. I have been single for quite a while but haven't been mingling. I don't have a sex...
