Get Your Spicy Waffle Here!

Going to take myself and my laptop out of the house because the way I spend release days is by writing the next book and not checking my dashboard a thousand times. But finally.

Sold To Her Enemy: A Night To Remember Auction is out in the wild and I am so grateful, happy, crying, throwing-up, screaming, you know all the things.

What better way than to celebrate with character art that sets the whole tone of the book? Adrian is going to ignore her as Mckenna serves as his c0ckwarmer.

Release day for Mercy Denton

 

Reason This Pen Name Isn’t A Secret … or

#disabledlikethat

Three days before release of Sold To Her Enemy: A Night To Remember Auction and TikTok throws a fit and insists on being re-installed on my phone. Fine.

But then I can’t login into the mercywritesspice account because…I don’t remember the password. It’s a combination of letters and numbers and I swear, swear, swear that I pressed the save key for my phone to retain it in its memory.

But no.

If you’ve read here before you may recall that this is the second time I’ve lost the Mercy Denton account.  It’s she second time this year! that I have had account-password problems. Social media isn’t everything when it comes to book marketing but it helps to have a presence.

Especially three days before release day.

This is how #disabledaf affects my writing life.

Is it a “challenge” to overcome? No. It just is.

Do I hate that this happens? I mean, it’s an annoyance but I’m going to go burn down libraries.

I think it’s funny and highlights the irony of me ever thinking for a moment that I could just not mention being disabled (which I did, briefly, back when I started).

And because I can’t give up this blogging habit, here we are.

And maybe, there is another chaotic gremlin who is also #disabledaf out there seeing themselves in this post.

This is also an example of why I am so grateful I didn’t keep Mercy Denton as a “secret pen name.”

I don’t know if I could ever pull that off! Anyways, I went in and edited Raleigh’s TikTok so that it’s “Raleigh Damson also writing as Mercy Denton” and that actually makes it easier than maintaining two separate TikTok accounts.

I’m aware that the advice is to keep it all separate but I’m in Canada, I don’t have as much geo pull and I’m not out to make my TikToks go viral.

“If I didn’t marry you or give birth to you, I won’t remember your birthday,” is something I need on a mug.

And if I do? You should feel honoured. You should send me presents, honestly.

Anyways, if its hot as a demon’s snot where you are, I hope you’re staying cool. I’m hydrating with non-coffee things too and gong to get words down on Ares and Josie.

 

The next book in the auction

5k words down on the book I am not supposed to be writing at the moment is a win that’s going to set me up nicely for the rest of the week. I’m wondering where that warm-sunshiny vibes are, trying to organize my home into something that isn’t a lost box of wonder and finish up a bonus scene for Mara and Evan — it kind of turned into a novella and I might just hit send because it’s fun to give your readers things.

I made chocolate chip cookies. What I like in a chocolate chip cookie is the soft, thin, and chewy kind, but this is elusive and I think out of a hundred tries I manage to get it right twice…but I saw on the clock app this hack where you take the pan out of the oven with two minutes left on the cooking time and smash it with the bottom of a mason jar.

What the hay, the cubs thought it was fun and it kind of gave the desired result but it ended up spreading the chocolate chips out of the batter and ended up with a chocolatey splish splash effect…it was a tasty experiment anyways.

New Doms and slow progress

I spent this week writing as much as I can on Mercy’s next book. It’s unannounced, there is no pre-order for it yet and I haven’t revealed the title, but I can share that it is Theo and Callie’s story. I gave myself my birthday week to get as much of a start on it as I can before I set it to one side and get back to Ares and Josie. I’m loving these new characters and want to spend more time in their world! And I can’t wait for readers to read this book – it’s the first book I’ve released featuring a male submissive.

Mercy’s next release is Sold to Her Enemy: A Night To Remember Auction out later this month, on the 21st.

My hand is still healing and it’s making typing slow – which is making me a little grumbly because the word count on the somewhat secret male submissive book would be higher if I had my normal speed – and it’s a little achy when it rains which makes me feel like kind of crotchety which isn’t a downside; there is a huge part of me that kind of digs the hedge witch image.

In my emails today, I spotted this great deal from Golden Angel. Grab the Nights at Stronghold: Stronghold Doms Boxset for $0.99. These books are fun and spicy with memorable characters and definitely a great deal!
