Got a freebie up for this week (Feb 4th-8th). The seventh story in The Son of a Minister, called:
Thyme's Up
(The title is the link to the Amazon page for it)
Working on a pirate themed Erotic short (okay, so at this point it looks like it'll be novelette or novella length instead) that I hope to be publishing next Sunday or Monday. Not quite the standard style of that story as I envision the standard. I can't stand the fainting, 'oh rescue me!' type of heroine so I don't often write them.
Those who know me know I'm an avid gardener. Both inside (in the winter) and outside (spring-summer-fall). So my winter efforts are starting to bear fruit, so to speak. I pulled a nice ripe, medium sized jalapeno off of my bushy jalapeno plant inside the house. After a brief bout with white flies earlier in the late fall/early winter I was fearing that the plant might not fruit, but it finally did, and now the peppers are starting to ripen.
My fig plant (also indoors), which I feared I had been over watering earlier in the year (because it was dropping all of its leaves) is sprouting new leaves and new tiny figs. If anyone wants a really easy to care for indoor plant that will grow tasty treats, I highly recommend a Brown Turkey Fig plant.
The cuttings for the fig are inexpensive to acquire, the figs are tasty as can be, and it only needs daily watering and a bit of plant food maybe once a month. Depending on your local climate it might not even need watering once a day; my climate is really dry though. Just make sure to be willing to move it up to larger pot sizes as it grows and it will continue to get larger. Once every 2-3 years you need to give it new soil and trim the roots. Mine has ended up in the same size pot I use for my dwarf lemon tree and is really happy about it. If I could handle moving a larger pot around, I'd bump its pot size one more time even but that would be getting a bit large for me to move.
