Hi everyone, and Happy New Year!
Looks like I'm not the only one who is new to this, so I'm going to give this a try and introduce myself. I just moved from Europe to the US and figured that I would write some stories about what I experienced (only the good side) as an escort in Europe. Everything perfectly legal there...
I'm not the best writer, but wanted to get started with a series that evolves around a regular client that I had been seeing over several years. The first book just came out and the next one should be out in a few days. I've also started a Amazon Giveaway, so you can have a preview, and if you're the lucky number, then you can get the book for free. At least I think that's how it works.
Overall, I expect to bring out about ten volumes of short stories in this series and then I'll see where I want to go next. In any case, thanks a million to Dennie for getting me started! Hope to contribute to this forum frequently.

I think I can, it's a lot easier in Europe, I have to say. I'm still trying to figure out why living out your fetishes in public is such a big deal in the US. But glad to have found this group!!

Hi everyone, I'm really excited that my second book just went live. It's set in Moscow, based on actual places and events. The titles and the initial plot line don't really give it away yet, but over time, I'm the one who get's swept up in the affair. He's the reason I'm relocated to the US. While I still work for a European Agency, I don't do very meny 'dates' anymore. I've found my match. I'll probably run a price reduction on it very soon, so if you're curious, have a peak, and then wait for the better bargain.
I'm technologically challenged, so forgive me if this is a repeat. I set a free promotion to run through tomorrow evening, but I'm not sure exactly when it kicks in. If you're interested, and it's not free yet, check back a little later.
Thanks everyone for being patient with a beginner in all of this. It's a bit overwhelming....

Hi everyone, my second book is on a free promotion currently, I believe until tomorrow night PST. I read through it and there are many things I would change already, but since it's free right now, and I'm hoping to get suggestions on how to improve my writing, I would truly appreciate any feedback that you can provide. Many thanks!!!!!

Hi everyone, I've gotten a lot of advice on my first attempt. I've done a significant rewrite of it and when the current free promotion for my second book is over, and the heavily revised (and I hope improved version of volume 1) is up on Amazon, I'll do another promo for the first volume. Thanks to everyone who may have taken a look at the second volume. It'll probably also go through some significant revisions. I know that's not how professional writers bring their books out, but I hope you don't mind if I do some learning by doing. Thanks a million.

Ufff....I worked the last couple of days with a professional photographer and designer to create a hew cover image for the first series of books. I never realized how much work goes into finding just the right picture. She ended up taking a picture with me in her studio, so the cover is actually a (small) part of me now. I've also revised book 1 and 2 quite a bit. As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm now running a free promotion on the first book (both have been fleshed out a bit more and I hope they are improved), so if you want to take a look at book 1, it should be available tomorrow (Jan7 and Jan8) for free.
Despite the title, the series is one long love story experienced through the unlikely eyes of someone who wasn't supposed to fall in love. It's a slightly fictional account of how I ended up coming from Europe and ending up in the US. Now that I travel less, I have more time to write and preserve the magic journey that I've been through over the past years.

Hi everyone, just a quick reminder that the free eBook promotion for my first short-story is now live through tomorrow evening. Looks like folks in Europe are already busy reading away

Hi everyone, me again...it seems there has been a lot of traffic on my first book in the Clarice series. If any of you happen to have had a chance to take a look at it and feel like leaving comments, please feel free to do so. I'm thick-skinned, so please don't hesitate whether you liked it or not. It may not be everyone's taste, but it's authentic. Free promo runs through end of tomorrow on Amazon. Thanks!!!!!!
P.S.: This was the runner-up for the cover picture, but you can probably see the obvious drawbacks.
