What Are You Currently Working On?

Hey Guys/Gals,

    If I'm quiet for a day, I get asked this question. Everyone is always curious on what Steamy is up to. :) That's quite alright. I am happy you guys are keeping up with me and want to know these things.

I am working on two novels, actually. Nothing Lesbian Erotica, at the moment. No, I'm not completely steering away, I'm just trying to expand to different genres that also interest me. I love writing action/thriller/adventure/romance type stories. That's what I'm currently working on. Here, let me fill you in.

One story, I had started a blog a few years ago where I released chapters. I had over 500,000 fans following the book. Well, I'm rewriting it and finishing it. I'm only on chapter two of the rewrite, it may take me some time, as I have a busy schedule outside of writing.

Another story is pretty intense. It's Diary of Dharma. If you have followed my work, you know all about this story. I wrote it at the start of my career. The start of my career I was paid to start books for other authors. When my fans got ahold of the starter chapter, they urged me to buy my rights back and to finish it. So, in honor of my fans, I am doing just that. I just started chapter 2 on this book as well. It's also being rewrote.

I'm so thankful for my fans for always being there for me. This has been such a wonderful journey. I didn't think I'd get such a strong following. I hope it continues and more people learn about me. It's really hard being a variety author, but I truly hope you guys stick around to see what else I can do.

Respectfully,

K.R. Steam

What Are You Currently Working On?

Hey Everyone, 

    This is a good question, then again... you guys/gals as a lot of good questions. What am I working on, currently? Well, I am working on a few short stories for you guys. You know, I used to think everyone wanted longer stuff from me but somehow my short stories seem to be doing the best. So, I have decided to do a few more short stories for you guys. 

I would give you hints about my work but I haven't even given these stories titles yet. I'm hoping to knock out a few short stories a day until the weekend. Maybe more, maybe less. Who knows. :) 

What are you currently working on in your life? Yes you, the reader. I am also interested in who my readers are and what you guys are doing in your life. I also accept suggestions toward new books. Is there something you like about my work or look for in my work? What draws you in and holds your attention? What makes you My fan? I'd like a chance at being Your fan, too. :) 

Always,

K. R. Steam

What Are Your Future Goals?

Great question! I'm glad I was asked this.

So, the goal.

Let's start from the beginning. Originally I didn't want anything to do with writing. Not really. I did it as a way to escape reality. Hide away from the world. I guess it was kind of like why some people read. They want to get lost in the moment; a moment that they are wrapped in that belongs in a book. The difference is, I want to create that moment. It's so fascinating how words can create such moments that we can't help but lose ourselves in them. Have you ever read a book and lost so much time inside of it that you felt incomplete once the book was over? You didn't want it to end so you just started from the beginning again? That's how I feel about writing.

So, the answer you've been waiting for is I want to write professionally. I want to do this as a career. My goal is to make writing my world, creating a whole bunch of different moments for everyone to get lost in. I want my words to help be someone else's sweet escape.

I hope this answers the question.

Thanks for reading,

Why Don't You Take That Many Pictures?

I get asked this question more than I ever expected. I'm not all about the selfie. I could care less about taking pictures of myself. Recently I started taking pictures again because my Mom would ask to see my face. I enjoy traveling and seeing nature at it's best (or worst) and so I hadn't really spent any time with family in a while and so I took a few pictures to make my Mom happy. It put a smile on her face and that's what I wanted. The fans were pretty excited when I posted pictures, too. So, I guess I made a lot of people happy doing it. 

However, I don't really like taking pictures of myself. I look exactly the same minus a hair length, hair style, a pound in weight increase or a pound in weight decrease. 

I guess if you guys ask enough, maybe I'll take some more. 

In other news. I do plan on being the cover girl for one of my books I hope to turn into a novel. It's coming up on my book-to-write list. I have a few in line a head of it. I hope you're looking out for it. :)

My character will be Dharma, a ruthless warrior who wants to create freedom and happiness. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing for the possible photo shoot but it shall be fun!

Why Don't You Always Respond?

Alright. This is a question I get asked a lot. I don't want my fans to take my lack of response the wrong way. I will try to respond but not always right away. Heck, most authors won't respond at all. I try to.

The truth of the matter is I'm an introvert. I have to have a large amount of energy to carry on a conversation. If I don't have it and I'm online, I will not respond. I'll take my Facebook Messenger offline and write. After a heavy amount of writing I will probably respond. I'm refueled by my own thoughts and complete silence. Also, consider the fact that once I get online, not just one or two people pop up. I get about twenty to thirty people to pop up on my instant messenger ready to spark a conversation with me as soon as I appear online. Keep in mind, I have a couple thousand friends on Facebook. I have to pick and choose or decide to say nothing at all because I'm overwhelmed.  If the conversation starts off funny, I will more than likely choose that conversation first. If it's a fan raving about a book, that's also more likely to get chosen first. The people who pop up ready to have a deep conversation about something or is dying to know me personally is less likely to get a response. That's an exhausting conversation. That's also why I started a blog. I let my fans get to know me on here.

A lot of people get the wrong idea and just assume I lost interest in the conversation or they think they said something wrong or get the wrong impression about me. I like to sit in silence. If the conversation is really making me run low on energy, I will sit and try to refuel. If I'm in a large group, I will listen and remain quiet. Everyone will have my attention all at once but I will not engage in conversation. That much social interaction is exhausting. That's not a joke. It truly is exhausting!

I prefer appearing offline and having one-on-one conversations.

It's plan and simple. I'm an introvert.

What Genre Do You Write?

Hey Ladies and Gents,

       When I was first asked this in the beginning, nobody understood my answer.

I'm a variety author. Most people are used to an author being one specific genre. I guess I have a commitment issue because I don't like being tied down to just one genre. I don't know how anyone can stay in just one area when there's a large variety of genre's to dig into. 

The first thing I ever wrote was Litter Bug, a children's book. It's about a little boy who is unable to fit in at school. He makes a fascinating discovery that litter can talk, after he throws a candy wrapper on the ground. The wrapper helps him make friends while also assisting all other forms of litter from dying alone in the world. After my first couple hundred buys, I realized writing was something I should stick with. 

In the beginning of my career I wrote started chapters for Chainbooks.com. I've contributed and started books for Sci-Fi, Romance, Gay Romance, Lesbian Romance, Horror, Thriller, and Mystery. 

I found my way under a Publisher called Bitten Press, LLC. doing Lesbian Erotica short stories. It was a truly amazing experience. I loved everyone in the Bitten Press, LLC family, I still do. I released myself and my stories and bought my copyrights. Since then, I've been self publishing. 

I have a lot of books I'm working on that are sitting on my hard drive waiting to be my next work of art. Yes, I have a lot of Lesbian Erotica but I also have Action, Adventure, Straight Romance, Straight Erotica, Thriller, Horror, Drama, and Mystery. 

The ultimate goal is to write so many books that I have to open up my own online book store. :) 

I hope this helped answer the question and also assist in answering any future questions. 

If you'd like to be informed on when I have released a new book, make sure to follow me on amazon.com or Subscribe to my mailing list on my Facebook Page.
