My latest published short story was inspired by the indigenous people of my area. "Potawatomi Love Story" is set some time before the arrival of Europeans to the Lake Michigan area. In it, newlyweds Lonidaw and Black Ash Tree--Loni and Ash, for short--long for more privacy and sneak off into the woods when they want to make love.
"Potawatomi Love Story" is available as a free Thrifty Thursdays read beginning Thursday, July 1. After July 8th, you'll still be able to access it, totally free, in the archives.
Thrifty Thursdays are one of the neat features of the erotic romance review website Whipped Cream. Whipped Cream is a division of Long and Short Reviews, a romance review site. Recently the writers also added Aurora Reviews, which focuses exclusively on young adult and middle grade fiction books.
Coming soon to Long and Short Reviews: In honor of L+S's third anniversary, there's a contest wherein three readers could each win a Nook e-reader, loaded with a selection of romance and young adult books, plus a $50 Barnes and Noble gift card!
