Let's Talk: When Summer Lingers

-
Good day everyone! I am Queen of Spades. My main genres are poetry and contemporary fiction. Synful Desire has been kind enough to allow me to talk about one of my short story freebies "When Summer Lingers".




Blurb:
Dahna is quite comfortable in her role as an outcast. Her favorite activities are painting her nails and hanging out on the beach. An observation by the quirky Carr leads to an endearing friendship between two unlikely people.

Overall, When Summer Lingers covers the tale of two individuals. Dahna is withdrawn and accustomed to being a loner. Carr is more extroverted and open to making new friends. During the summer, an important message is driven home: to treasure time and the experiences you have with others.

This free short story is available on my website as well as on the Freebies section of the All Authors Publishing House website.

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...
