Actually, it was available yesterday. I had added buy links on the Books page from some retailers like Amazon that were selling my e-book a day early. I may update the links as I see other retailers selling it. It’s not on Barnes & Noble yet, but I’m keeping an eye out. Right Here, Right Now is my second published short story and it’s part of Decadent Publishing’s 1 Night Stand series. I’m thrilled that both of my short stories were acquired by e-publishers and I didn’t have to self-publish them—not that I would have. I’m never self-publishing again. Now, all I have left to get published is The Howling Heart.

My second short story Right Here, Right Now will be released in e-book by Decadent Publishing this Friday. It’s my first contemporary romance. In the 7 years I’ve been writing stories, I’ve never written a 100% contemporary romance. Usually I prefer to add fantasy or paranormal with my romance. I’ll be updating the Books page soon with a story excerpt and the retailer links.

The e-book version is on sale at the Google ebookstore, Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Google is selling it the cheapest for $3.03, and Amazon and B&N are selling it for $3.19. The retail price is $9.99. Take advantage of the low price if you haven’t read the book yet!

One of the editors at Decadent Publishing informed me that Right Here, Right Now will be released in e-book on Friday, January 6th. This is my second (and last) short story that’s getting published. It’s also my first 100% contemporary romance—there’s no fantasy or paranormal element involved. I don’t usually write in that genre, so I added some S&M to spice it up. Now I’ll be counting the days until it’s released.

Today is the official release date of my first short story Eros, My Love. I’m so excited because it’s been three years since I released a book. If you decide to purchase it, I hope you enjoy it. The e-book is $1.99 on most sites. I updated my site and changed the Novel page to “Books” so I could showcase my novel and my short story. I included a few buy links for Eros, My Love, and added a link for Goodreads. My publisher informed me that distributors like the iBookstore has an internal review process of their own, and my title should hopefully be available for sale there within a month. Lightning Source distributes to various retailers within a couple of weeks, such as the Sony eBookstore. I emailed over 20 book review sites yesterday, so I hope to receive some reviews soon. And of course, I hope to get some on Amazon too. Gotta love those reviews.

Decadent Publishing just showed me the final cover for my second short story Right Here, Right Now. I didn’t choose the couple for this cover like I did for Eros, My Love. The design is totally from the cover designer Mina’s imagination. But I think she nailed it. I wanted sexy and romantic, and that’s exactly what she gave me. There is no release date yet, but as soon as I find out, I’ll post an update.

I have great news to share today. I just accepted an offer from Decadent Publishing to publish my second short story Panties Optional. I’m so excited! They currently have a book called Panties Optional by Stephanie Beck, so I decided to change my story’s title to Right Here, Right Now. As I mentioned in a previous post, this is my last short story. Now, my second novel The Howling Heart is all I have left to get published.

My short story Eros, My Love will be released on 9/16/2011 in e-book. There’s a product page on Summerhouse Publishing’s website that includes the synopsis and an excerpt. I asked my publisher what other retailers will sell my e-book, so I know what buy links I need to add when I update my site. I’m pretty sure Amazon will be one of them.
