L.J. Diva’s End Of 2021 Catch Up
This year has been full of “stuff” to do which has done nothing but suck me down into a quagmire of suffocating crap. But, I managed to achieve a fair bit. Especially early on. And you can read the original post here…
Here’s what I had ALREADY achieved in the first month of the 2021…
– 1 – I closed down the Porn Star Brothers website and moved much of it here to L.J. DIVA. This process started in November, and is now finished.
– 2 – So that means I added a lot of special pages here at LJD with exciting extras concerning the Porn Star Brothers series. The Story’s Timeline, Family Tree, Business Tree, Book Quotes, and Character Lists were added to the menu. I also added extras for the four novels in Book Quotes and Character Lists, AND added a HOT MEN page full of pics of the men who have inspired the characters in my books, along with hot men in general to inspire heroes in anyone’s novels.
– 3 – Reworked the book pages so all of the books are now on the BOOKSTORE page and then link off to their individual pages which have many store links to buy from, plus other relevant information.
– 4 – Spiffied up the front page a little by adding two sections for the PSB series and extras, and changed the “For Your Enjoyment” section to Novels. I also changed out the social media apps for pics at the bottom. I prefer them more than the useless widgets that never update properly. And it’s the three I’m on most.
– 5 – Sent 544 blog posts back into draft mode, purely because after twelve years they no longer reflect who I am, or where I want to take this website.
Here’s what was STILL in the making for 2021…
The To-Do List for November 2021
Let’s get into what I achieved in October first…
– 1 – Get November’s blog post done.
– 2 – Keep posting weird things on social media.
– 3 – Start reorganising my life and work schedules to be more in sync with each other so I can actually get some books written and take time off.
– 4 – Start writing a novel for release next year!
Yep, I have JUST started that novel. I’m going slow and taking my time.
SOCIAL MEDIA!
I also had a bit of a cull on social media. I culled my Tumblr blog, which was just this one being sent through to Tumblr, my Disqus account, my Youtube channel, so all videos are gone, and I’ve asked for the deletion of my Bloglovin’ account. If it’s not being used frequently, or I’m never there, it’s going.
Now let’s launch into what I want to get done in November…
The To-Do List for October 2021 and ANOTHER Anniversary!
This month, in this year, serves as ANOTHER anniversary.
This time it’s the ten year anniversary of the first ACTUAL paperback printing (via CreateSpace) of the original Hollywood Dreams and Falling for London.
Under their ridiculous (seriously, I have no idea how or why I came up with such ridiculous names) first titles of Life and Death Adventures in London, and How I Won Lotto, Moved To LA And Married A Really Huge TV Star! they came to fruition and I first posted about them here on 11/10/11, and then you can see the originals here on 13/10/11. Ten years ago this month.
My babies have come such a long way!
WOOHOO!
Next up, we get into the usual monthly issues…
Let’s get into what I achieved in September from the list of things to get done… [Read more…]
It’s Been Five Years Since My Family Saga Book Series The Porn Star Brothers Was Released
On the first anniversary of Jackie Collins’ death, I released the first book in a series that was to become four novellas and seven novels long.
Starting with the release on September 19th, 2016, was Carlos, the eldest brother of the family.
On September 26th, 2016, came Pedro, the youngest brother in the family whose story starts where Carlos’s left off.
And on October the 4th, 2016, what would have been Jackie’s 79th birthday, came Tomas, the middle brother of the family, whose story picked up where Pedro’s left off.
What followed was the fourth novella of Retribution. All four novellas were turned into the novel of Porn Star Brothers and was followed with six more novels, Forever, Love Never Dies, Stefan:The New Generation (a nod to Jackie’s Hollywood Wives:The New Generation), DeLuca, Spiros & Jenny, and the final novel, And Always, which was released on September 19th, 2020.
The entire series is dedicated to Jackie, and you can see the dedication, with a fabulous leopard print-clad Jackie, here on this page. Just scroll down to the bottom.
I hope, in the future, to release something each September 19th as an ode to the woman I call author mentor and inspiration.
She was ballsy, rollicking, a fabulous dresser, and a woman who made her heroines tough and ballsy like her, as well as fierce ass kickers, and I hope to be like her when I grow up.
It’s Six Years Since The Original Lady Boss, Jackie Collins, Left Us
Six years are six too many that us Jackie fans have had to deal with her death.
Year after year we’ve waited for a new story of ballsy, kiss-ass women getting their way and making the men pay the way only Jackie could write.
But nothing…
Until this year when we got the documentary movie on Jackie’s life.
Yet to screen in Australia, I’m awaiting its arrival to Netflix (don’t know if it will be but I’m keeping my fingers crossed), and its eventual trip onto DVD for fans to own personal copies.
While I celebrate her rollicking ballsy attitude, and pretend that on another plane of existence I AM her, I’ll await this movie, and, hopefully, that long awaited autobiography.
Why?
Because SHE WAS the original LADY BOSS!
She was ballsy, rollicking, a fabulous dresser, and a woman who made her heroines tough and ballsy like her, as well as fierce ass kickers, and I hope to be like her when I grow up.
