My latest Decadent Publishing story was released earlier this month. For Me is another 1NightStand.
Sure,
it stands alone in its own right, but the fun (and sad) part of this story is
that it’s one of six 1Night Stands I’ve penned with fellow DP author DeannaWadsworth. That’s the ‘fun’ part.

That
conversation began, “Wen, can I have Paul from Wise Men Say?’ So, it looks like there could be another
sextet of stories in the works!
