From previous teasers here on my upcoming eBook The Playgirl, you may be thinking it’s another naughty book about a successful young woman and her bedmates. You’re partially correct, but, cliched as this sounds, there’s more to it.

Originally, it was supposed to be a naughty book about a successful young woman and her bedmates. But during its seven-year-plus-long writing and editing process (which involve a few stoppages due to other writing projects and personal matter), I began craving more drama and suspense. Being influenced by other romance books (think the work of Jackie Collins) and old-school soap operas (think the OG Dynasty from the 80s), and even my own personal life at the time (I’ll explain later), I set out to give more to my story. The end result is a tale of love, lust, loss, jealousy, scandal, blackmail, identity, and revenge, set predominantly in a city that’s all too familiar with it all and then some: Los Angeles, in the early/mid-2010s. (I started the original draft in the fall of 2015, so some of its references may be a bit dated. I did consider moving the story to a more recent time period, but, in the end, I chose to keep the story in that era, before the madness of 2016 and beyond.)

I’m in the process of making an Instagram reel for y’all to get a feel of the book, set to release three weeks from now! Links to preorder it here. And, once again, I’ll be a part of Smashwords Summer/Winter sale, and upon its release, you can score the book for free!
