Show me your desk - books by Stylo Fantome, May Sage, London Miller and Ivy Asher


Back again after a break. So on the lower left handside of my desk is the money pot and a pen. Moving up is the stack of books I bought from the RARE 19 events. I bought books from Stylo Fantome, May Sage, London Miller and Ivy Asher - all of them gracious, beautiful and glamorously turned out. 

Most of the  authors were all beautiful women - so RARE19 it could have easily been a social media meet and greet event of Youtube beauty influencers and creatives, only with authors and their books. It was a glamorous event with a good feel atmosphere so you can see why fans flock. It's a real day out!

These are all new authors to me as I attended the event out of curiosity. Last year, I happened to come across an indie author's page who had a blog post on it, so I found out more details and went. 

There was no real method to buying the books, I just happened to arrive, and there where so many people so it was tables that really caught my eyes. The first was beautiful and glamorous Stylo Fantome and equally beautiful and glamorous her assistant. I approached the table and got talking to a fan who recommended a book which I bought.

After milling around, I had a chat with London Miller and her assistant. She explained what the term SAFE meant on Amazon, apparently it means no cheating. She also suggested two of her books, standalone so I got them.  Then I went to May Sage who also is stunning. She was talking to a friend who suggested what books I too. I'm not a big paranormal vamp fan so they gave me other suggestions - so I got her King of Ruin with is her first fantasy novel, and another novella Shy Girls Write Better. We got talking about book covers and she is very meticulous about her book cover process and she gets exclusive rights etc. Below is a picture I took for my post yesterday. 


Her friend had just finished a reverse harem series, which I'd never read - I mean the genre so the friend recommended Ivy Asher who she called the Queen of Reverse Harems. So I found myself at her table and she recommended one of her books to try out, which was April's Fool, a collaboration with another author.  I guess that was my book haul, all signed by the authors. 

Back to my desk, next is my pre-loved desk arranger which I recused from the bin. It had pens, a ruler, and some glue. Yes, my pen holder is gone, but I think this is much better suited. Beyond that coming down to the right hand side is a bottle of medicated mouth wash, a pencil sharpener, some face cream and a packet of tissues. After that is a sample toothbrush I got from my dentist. I'll try it out soon. Finally is my purple book which I just scribble notes in.

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Goals - one thing at a time - weekly or less frequent blog. Yoga was HARD! Still on track with eating plan,

Despites all my good words, I am slipping back into old bad habits and overloading myself with things to do. Distractions. Everything is important. So I've decided to get tough with myself and focus on my major goal. The one that will be most beneficial to me and a causality of that will be writing this blog daily or near daily. So I'm going to be focusing on my major goal and push myself to focus and I think all the other activities, and I mean a lot are diluting from the process. This means getting rid of non-value adding activities. Oh dear, I sound rather corporate. My week so far. If Pilate nearly killed me, then in Yoga was the firing line. OMG! What is it with these gym classes being so dynamic! When I mean dynamic I mean break-into-a-sweat dynamic. I'd never hadn't had such a difficult class - obviously I was the largest. Okay - let's go fat-shaming- don't you just love that word? I was the fattest by a long stretch. And the unfittest. My body was ou...

HAPPY NEW YEAR - LET THE GOALS ROLL

Hello all. Happy New Year! So last year was awesome for me because I managed to achieve one goal. The biggest goal which was to get a new job. And that came with financial reward as well. Yay! It was hard, challenging, horrible. I hate change but I had to get out of the rut I was in. Dudes, I was desperate to move. So I dug deep, did my interview practice, attended a number of interviews and hit one. Yay. Now longer gaming. I didn't need the escapism with my new positive work environment. I also abandoned the iPhone family and went Android. To cut a long story short, I got bought an iPhone 8 but it was faulty - however Apple weren't transparent about their return policy - ALWAYS ASK ABOUT RETURN POLICY. Nor did they believe the phone was faulty. It was. Anyway I was so disgusted the arrogance of the 'apple people', I decided instead of getting a replacement to spend my money elsewhere. I'm still part of the Apple family. But the Apple Store sales assist...
