Hey Steamers,
I am so excited about the book I'm wrapping up. It's called Saving Face. This will be my very first novel. It's based on real events. The genre is Romantic Suspense, with a taste of thrill.
Here's the synopsis:
Amber is an innocent young woman trying to get by. John is the arrogant jerk who falls for her. He’s destined to destroy everything Amber loves. Watch her persevere as she tries for happily ever after.
The book is about a young girl who is trying to sort her life out. The story starts her senior year in high school. John slides into the story, making his mark on her. She is trying to continue with her life, but he keeps giving her hurdles to jump. He wants her all to himself and will do anything to make that happen. -- I'm going to fast forward a little bit, skipping key points. A few major life events happen, where she is forced to depend on him, but he leaves her in the dust. It becomes all about money. Her life spirals out of control. -- Prison. Pregnancy. Probation. She's forced to start all over. He comes back at the worst possible time, only to ruin everything she's accomplished.
There is a happily ever after. I'm just not going to tell you what happens. You'll have to read it for yourself.
Edits-- I have just under 200 pages left, out of 300+. It'll be on Amazon soon. Look out for it. Get on my Amazon page and Follow me so you'll know when it is released! http://www.amazon.com/author/krsteam That's all for now!
Love Always,
Steamy

Emotions
Hey Steamers,
I feel like I don't really talk about this topic very much and maybe I should. Living with PTSD, it's hard. It's why no relationship ever worked out before my husband. He said he wanted to end it in the very beginning because it was like I had no soul. No matter how many buttons he pushed, I couldn't respond. When he felt pain, I would just stand there, unable to help him through it. When I thought we were doing great... gosh I still remember the very moment... he was telling me it was over. Seconds before it came out of his mouth, I was curled up against his arm absolutely oblivious. I had just gotten home from a stressful day at work. I think that was the same day I got in a bad fight and a guy who absolutely loathed me took a punch for me. Being a woman, especially one that reaks of this much intimidation... most guys want to see how well I handle a punch. I was ready to take it, too. I remember sitting on the couch, unable to explain what I felt inside, unable to connect. I wanted to tell him what was going on and what I had just experienced. The confusion that was sitting on my chest and making me feel bad for letting the guy take the punch. And here, my boyfriend of a little over a year was full of emotions and felt there was nothing left for us. That he was alone and I was just a fucking robot. I was trained to be a robot. And, like I've said to a few fans in interviews... they teach you how to be a robot but they don't unteach you.
Anyway, the other day, my husband (who's overseas in the military right now, so it's already hard being there for each other) and I were talking. He was being an emotional rollercoaster and I honestly didn't know how to help. Back when he wanted to end things, I would have made a dumb joke or tried to relate in a way that made him feel a lot worse about everything. But, now, the woman he's teaching me how to be... I'm learning how to feel the emotions but I don't know what to do once I feel them. I just get overwhelmed and feel like I'm falling apart. That's when he brought up how much more he likes that I do have a soul and I can fall apart. I guess it's nice to know there isn't a bunch of metal pieces clinging together taking up space where my heart should be.
What's the point I'm trying to make, you ask?
Well, I signed with a new publisher and I'm trying to pull myself out of my comfort zone. I mean, the original reason I started writing was to cope with my PTSD. And, it feels like I just got lost in giving people what they wanted from me and forgot the whole point of why I'm even doing all of this.
And now... I am writing my first official novel. It's a lot of emotions practically pouring out of my characters, pouring out of me. A year ago, or five, ten, I never would have been able to do this. I didn't believe in myself enough to make it this far into recovery. Hell, I didn't believe in myself when I was in school. I didn't care about college. I didn't have dreams, goals, ambition. I just wanted to know I would make it to see tomorrow. Nothing else mattered. But... now... it matters. Believing in me matters. Writing as a career, to share what I can truly do... it matters.
Lately, I found my way of digging into emotions I never thought I had. Feelings I didn't know existed. Pain I never acknowledged in myself, let alone others. Things I used to shrug off... I can't do that anymore. I don't want to. I want to feel. And the one thing pulling all of this out of me is music. Specifically female lead singer bands for alternative rock, rock, hard rock, etc.
Last week one specifically really gripped my heart from deep within and all I could do was loop and listen to her powerful and full of emotional voice. Lzzy Hale. She's taking the cake... bringing me to a totally different place and gosh it has me completely overwhelmed. And, as I'm feeling everything she's pushing out of me, I'm writing. I'm pouring it all out. I'm exploding into my writing... both typing it out and hand writing it. There's also Amy Lee, Maria Brink, Taylor Momsen, etc. A few I literally knew nothing about, like Maria and Taylor. But plenty of others I can't think of at the moment.
It feels so good to... feel. Maybe one day, PTSD will be something I had.
Thanks for reading this, guys and gals.
Until Next Time,

Career Moves
Hey Steamers,
Gosh, have I missed you all. Since transitioning, a lot of the fans are stepping back and waiting to see what I do next. I have so many goals it almost seems unrealistic. :-p So, redoing some of my favorite stories like Not a Time to Quit, Tiffany, and Seduced by Winter. I have a lot of stories I've been working on, as well as writing genres my followers are not used to. I finished a novel not too long ago which is more an intense romantic thriller that I would love to get turned into a movie. I also am currently finishing up Season One of On My Radar, the first ten books. AND, I am working on a book I am writing to be pitched to Hallmark but it might end up being too raw and emotional for them to accept. If they decline my offer, I'll be pushing for a movie deal elsewhere. Really excited on the starting point of the story. I have the full outline and it is going to be absolutely beautiful while starting out in total sadness. It's going to be a really romantic tear jerker. I also have about 7 other books I have outlined and planned to work on soon. I wish each day came with twelve more hours so I could get more accomplished!
Also, I'll be doing live interviews and be part of release parties and all of that fun stuff in the future. I hope to see you guys there!
Yours Truly,
Steamy

Transitioning
Hey Steamers,
So, last month a great thing happened. A door opened up that I didn't plan on opening ever again. I signed with a new publisher. I have a lot of great ideas and a lot of plans all outlined for my career right now. The fun part is my books are going to be transitioning. I will have my previous works, of course, but they'll be cleaned up and some will be turned into novels while others will be throw into a collection. Some books will make it into the collection but also have a novel.
A big thing happening is On My Radar, my vision is going to be put into place. It will be turning into a reading series but it will be outlined like a tv show. There will be a total of ten stories (episodes) per book (season).
Also, I am hoping to start collaborating with other authors. So, hopefully that will happen soon enough, when the time is right. If you like my work and think you have what it takes, send me an email: the.kelly.renee@gmail.com Let's talk.
Other things. I will be trying to dive into the movie industry. I have plenty of ideas wrote out. Now, the publisher and I will be moving forward and trying to get the ball rolling in that direction as well.
There are a lot of things going on right now but big things will be coming soon. All of my books (minus some audibles, until I can get them removed) are currently unpublished. Please, bare with me as I go through this transitioning process and get everything figured out. 14 books are in the transitoning process and I'm writing a lot of new stuff right now. Please, be patient. I can't wait to share this chapter of my life with you guys. I hope you like everything I'm doing and will do!
Always

Heart Strings
Hey Guys. I guess I went and did it again. This time, I wrote a short novella. It is a short romance story about a guy who has the hots for a rock star. It's pretty cute,has a little sarcasm, of course it is really steamy, and it has some comical parts.
This will be my second romance book and my second heterosexual romance. :-D
So, I'll do what I did in my last post and give you guys the blurb. Enjoy!
Blurb: She was a rock star and he was just an ordinary fan up until she is about to be attacked and he protects her from harm. Now, things have changed. She kissed him and he's following her to her concerts. Things start to become real between them and he starts to pull away to protect himself. She has to make a decision on if he is worth the risk or if her career is more important.
She gets the urge to write a different kind of song when she's with him, a love song. A song she thinks she can't finish. When she brings it up to him, he tells her when the words are true, they'll just come to her. That changes everything for her... including her career.
This book will also be in Pre-Order. It should be available sometime this weekend. I truly hope you guys are liking the direction I'm going!
Please leave me reviews!
Always,
Steamy

Seduced by Winter
Here we go Steamers. I just knocked out and am putting the finishing touches on the paperback. The book should be up on Kindle for Pre-Order in the next day or so. The book covers will not match between paperback and kindle due to rules and regulations and blah blah blah, requirements, blah, digital blah blah. Whatever. So, I'll figure that part out later. For now, let's just get the story out to you guys and figure out the dumb details later.
Here is the blurb for the book:
Ever make a mistake and wish you didn’t? That’s not what this book is about. Hey, I’m Jack. I got asked out by my boss without realizing it. She makes me do things I would never agree to doing with anyone else and things kind of spiral out of control. We lose track of each other and then fall back into each other’s arms during the dead of winter. She’s almost dead in my arms and I become her hero.
Not only does this (short story) book have the short version but it also has a second part at the end that gives you all the details after the story ends that you’re dying to know.
WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE
So, I know a lot of my fans are really into the lesbian erotica genre but this one is between a dude and a dudette. I really enjoy how the story goes down. I really hope you guys do, too.
Always Yours,
Steamy

I'm Still Here Steamers!
Hey!
I can't believe I am still an author. It's crazy to think that I started over a decade ago and I'm still going strong. I am still working on some projects that are going to take a while to get just right. I want everything to be perfect for my fans. I will start working on a variety of different genres. Don't worry, I'll still be writing lesbian erotica. It's so fun to write, I refuse to give it up! Make sure to follow and subscribe to all of my stuff! I hope to start working on a YouTube Channel, once I get the balls to start doing videos. I'm so nervous just thinking about it. Feel free to message me to encourage me and let me know what you would like to see me make a video of. :-D
