OUT NOW: Tall Guy And Smart Mouth

Tall Guy and Smart Mouth is now out in stores (see below for links).

________________________________________

Megs doesn’t date from her building.
Tim is hoping to be the exception to the rule.
Both use humor to guard their hearts.
_________________________________________
When Megs literally runs into her very tall neighbor in their apartment building lobby, there’s immediate chemistry. But Megs has a rule in place to protect both herself and any aspiring suitor: she does not date from her building.
Tim finds that smart mouth he encountered on the stairs won’t stay off his mind. And he’s determined to run into her as often as possible: even if it means staking out the mailboxes.
He’s pushy.
She’s snarky.
Both are unexpectedly thoughtful.
Is it a match made in heaven?
Only time will tell—provided his doesn’t run out.

Another New Book: Art Class by Caty Zorn!

Our new author Caty Zorn has put out her first book and is offering it free for the rest of this week. (Amazon is running a little slow, so check for it’s price drop.)

Art Class by Caty Zorn

Sometimes, life catches you with your pants down.

Determined to make it on her own, college dropout Pene Rodgers works in a café during the day and in the evening, models nude in the university art studio.

University psych professor Doctor Riley Tucker wants to see firsthand whether rumors about the art professor are true. Is the man as sick as people say? Joining the all-male class, Riley’s fascinated by the dynamics. Shocked that the instructor cows the poor nude model, Riley defends and encourages her, doing what he can to tip the balance of power in the room.

But instead of simply empowering the young woman, Riley falls for her indomitable spirit.

And instead of only fueling whack-off sessions, Pene finds her own needs for companionship and affection filled.
But after a thirty-six year marriage, Riley’s developed some bad relationship habits that don’t quite jive with Pene’s expectations.

What will it take to make their relationship last?

(Mature audiences: contains adult language and situations)

Available on Kobo, Amazon, and B&N.

Half-Fast Press Welcomes New Author: Caty Zorn!

Caty Zorn is a woman on a mission.

“It seems that in our hectic and chaotic lives it becomes easy to disconnect our hearts and souls from our bodies and our minds.” -Caty Zorn

Caty’s goal is to write books that help us think and feel both above and below the belt, so to speak, with stories of loving characters engaging in the rich facets of life. Her books contain characters that remind of us of ourselves, while giving a glimpse into our private and explicit natures.

“To be a whole person, we must find balance in all aspects of ourselves. If God didn’t mean for man to be alone, then He also didn’t mean for woman to be alone. And part of not being alone is sex in a loving and committed relationship.

“For me, that was difficult as I am on the autism spectrum. Emotions and sex can both be overstimulating, causing me to shut down and shut out. To be open to the joys and blessings of my marriage, I needed to find what worked for me.”

She explains that engaging her creative side helps her problem-solve in all aspects of life.

Caty’s hope is that even if she can save one soul and marriage, then she’s done what she feels she was called to.

“I hope these help you as much as they’ve helped me.”

New Book Available! SFR by Julia Ward

The Half-Fast Writer is happy to announce:

SFR by Julia Ward

Sometimes things have to get worse before they can ever be better.

And Mers’s unhappy life is about to get worse…

TWID-Security agent Vayg is deep undercover. If she can get back to Rainbow city, she can bring down a crime boss. Unfortunately, she’s been mortally wounded and is lying in the desert along with her now-dead attackers.

Raised to hate people, especially women, Mers avoids them by wandering the desert, scavenging as winds shift the sands. Upon witnessing a fight far off, he waits for the outcome. When all three people fall to the ground and don’t rise, Mers races across the desert to collect their now-relinquished panel truck and motorbike. He and Teah, his cow-like whake, reach the machines only to find the woman who owned the bike isn’t as dead as he’d hoped.

Forced to obey the one rule of kindness his father taught him—hospitality—he agrees to hide her from the men who hunt her.

Never having lived in close quarters with anyone but his controlling father, Mers is confused by Vayg, the embodiment and antithesis of all he thought women were, and by the many new feelings she invokes. And as Vayg finds comfort and safety under the shelter of a man whose bookshelf is filled with anti-fem books, she experiences her own confusion.

Can a man who has no idea of what love is, learn, or will Vayg have to forget the only man she’s ever felt at home with?

(this book contains adult situations and violence)

This book is availabe on

Kobo, Amazon, B&N, and iBooks and during the week of March 31-April 6 can be grabbed for free.

It Takes a Village…

Often, a novel is referred to as a baby.

We writers spend hours upon hours, nurturing, directing, tearing down and building up.

And, like bringing up children, we can’t do this alone. No matter how much we want to.

WARNING: SEGUE

Writers are, it seems, by nature, solitary types. We sit in a room full of people and don’t enjoy interacting, but we LOVE to listen and watch others interact. We are, for the most part, introverts. As my hubby says, We travel in large packs of one.

But we need other writers. It’s true. I’ve tried doing it on my own. A second or third or even fourth brain is NOT ONLY HELPFUL, but necessary. These other brains are important for helping us work through whatever strange turn our story is taking us. Or, often more importantly, to let us know we don’t need to be tossed into a rubber room.

No man is an island. No typewriter key gets jammed alone.

(Deep breath, I’m bringin’ it home.)

Get yourself a brain trust: your village. It won’t be easy. First, you have to find a group of writers–wait! Let me rephrase that, first you have to find a group of serious writers who don’t take things too seriously. But it will be worth it. 

My village encourages me and helps me reword rambles, catch my random commas and odd spelling errors. 

Roadster Romance would be so much less than what it is without my brain trust, the story’s aunts and uncles and godparents. 

And now Life’s a Beach is getting ready for it’s debut. And again, it’s with the help of my writing family.

Who’s have thought writing authoring was a group activity?

Edited to add:

Check out L.P. Masters blog post annoy perfection and about being Roadster’s auntie.

Next on the agenda…

Upcoming is Life’s a Beach. It’s about Kathryn, a bitter devorcee who just wants her ex to be a father to their son, and Dillon, a detective who finds Kathryn an interesting mystery.

And surprise! There’s another dog. 😀 Kathryn hopes that Bruno will keep her sexy neighbor away.

Right now, I’m in the process of revising and editing. Plus, it needs a cover. 😀

My plan is to have it out near the end of September if not sooner.

Don’t worry. I’ll keep you posted. 😀
