Reddit mentions of Reckless: A Steamy Second-Chance Romance Novel (Bad Boy Musicians)

Promotions, you say? Go on, then...

I released a novel yesterday! A full-on, honest-to-goodness novel. It's called Reckless, it's a romance novel set in a small town in Texas, and it's based loosely on one of the Theme Thursdays (Diners) from a little while ago. It's currently at $0.99 for the weekend -- anything to try and climb the greasy pole of the Amazon charts -- so if anyone feels like throwing a dollar at it I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, my WP stuff is still available over in one place at /r/Portarossa. (I know romance isn't a particularly popular genre on here, but the reviews coming in suggest that it's a pretty good one. You know, modesty aside and all that...) If you want to check out a sample, you can read the first couple of chapters here.

It's my first published novel in a while, and the first full piece I've put out under this pen name, and I'd just like to say thanks to Writing Prompts as a whole. Working on little snippets for you guys got me through some gnarly headspace-based times a year or so ago, and I don't think this particular book would have existed without you guys. You really are quite something. (Especially one reader in particular. You know what you did, you charmer, you.)

Ironically, it fits today's theme pretty well: I've been procrastinating putting it online for months and months, convinced that if I could just make change one more little detail, it would be bound to be successful. My advice is, don't. For anyone who finds themselves in the position of worrying whether their project is going to flop, and is willing to spend countless hours and hours tweaking it to get it just right, don't. Take one last look at it, then throw it into the world as hard as you can -- then start your next project.

Procrastination is like masturbation, as they say: at the end of the day, you're only fucking yourself.
