Shocking News from the SexWitch. No, You'll Never Guess!

I hope you're sitting down for this one.  If not, don't say I didn't warn you.

 

Two weeks ago I received probably the most shocking news of my entire life.  And it has taken me a few weeks to get to the point where I can tell all of you about it on this blog.  What can I say?  This is the kind of thing you see in a romantic, tearjerker movie.  Not in real life.

 

Remember this summer when my first ex (Ken) dumped me?  Remember how devastated I was because I was so crazy about him?

 

Well, two weeks ago one of his daughters contacted me.  I was shocked to hear from her, but thrilled because I loved all his daughters as if they were my own.  However the way he had vanished I never expected to hear from them again either.

 

Anyway, she and I began emailing.  I told her Ken had dumped me and how crushed I had been.  She replied, saying she thought someone had told me what happened.  Bless her heart!  She thought I knew.  Over four months later she had to break the news to me.

 

It turns out Ken didn't dump me or desert me in July.  He died.

 

WHAT?????!!! 

 

Ken was 44, a vegetarian, health nut, ran 10 miles a day, never drank or smoked, worked out, and was gorgeously handsome.  He looked like the picture of health. 

 

But he had an aneurysm in July and died instantly.  She said it was a shock to everyone.

 

I've done some research since then and discovered his one addiction (coffee) is probably what killed him.  If you drink more than 5 cups every day you do serious damage to the arteries in your brain and heart, and an aneurysm is a real possibility.  Ken drank waaaaaaay more than 5 cups every day and had been doing that for decades.

 

Once I got over the shock I had to grieve...again.  It seems I had grieved for the wrong thing this summer.  I had grieved because he dumped me.  But he didn't dump me.  He died.  So for the last two weeks I have grieved for the death of this amazing man.

 

Fortunately, I was blessed with some awesome positives during this time.  His three daughters are back in my life, and they are incredible women, whom I adore. 

 

And my Fey mate has been wonderful throughout all of this.  He is truly the sweetest man.  *swoon* 

 

He was the one who helped me pick up the pieces after Ken disappeared in July.  He was the one who restored my faith in myself, which had been shaken to the core by Ken's disappearance.  He was the one who gently showed me I can trust a man and love again.  

 

Yeah, he is a treasure, and I'm truly blessed to have him in my life.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love him?  Well, I do.  *wink*

 

Okay, are you ready for some upbeat news?  Yes, I have more news.  You know me.  The SexWitch's life is never dull.  ;P

 

Thursday night I received an offer from Amazon that was too good for this lusty Fey chick to pass up.  I spent the night reading through contracts, and on Friday morning I accepted the deal. 

 

(...drum roll...)

 

I am now an exclusive Kindle author, and I'm thrilled about it.

 

YAY!!! 

 

That's right.  My ebooks can only be found in the Kindle Store now and nowhere else.  They are still $0.99, and anyone can buy them in the Kindle Store.  That hasn't changed. 

 

What's new is now they are also "Prime" books.  If you are a Prime member at Amazon you can borrow my books at no charge from the Kindle Owner's Lending Library.

 

Too cool, huh?!

 

You can read more about this on my books website, which I spent hours updating with this fab news on Friday.  If you haven't been there lately, check it out:

If you're one of my Nook fans, who bought pdfs of my books directly from me, those are no longer available.  But don't worry.  A Nook is basically an Android tablet, which you can "root" and add the Kindle app for Android.  Then you can read Kindle books on your Nook.  Alrightyyyy!!!

 

And that's the thing.  There are so many free apps now for Kindle.  Almost everyone can read Kindle books.  So I'm thrilled to be an exclusive Kindle Author. 

 

YAY!!!

 

Before I end this blog post I gotta tell you Saturday was a landmark day for me in 2011.

 

Know why? Cause all hell broke loose in my personal life on New Years Day. And 2011 continued to be a year of extreme highs and lows in that area of my life.  The recent news about Ken was no exception.

 

In fact, I got in the habit of staying in bed for a few minutes every day after I woke up.  I did it so I could think about the latest disaster in my personal life, and what the hell I was gonna do about it.

 

But you know what I thought about on Saturday morning when I woke up?

 

Nothing.

 

That's because for the first time this year everything was good. My love life rocks, my personal life is calm for a change, and life is good. I woke up with a happy, clear mind....for the first time...on December 10.

 

Hey, better late than never, right?  lmao!

 

*smooches*
