Introducing the Introduction to my Latest Memoir Attempt

 

I'm making another attempt at writing a memoir, and this time I have a strategy to help me stay on target. Read the sample from the intro to learn more!

This may be THE book I need to write. I am a storyteller by both trade and by nature. Most of the stories I’ve had published (also most of the stories I haven’t had published) are of the fictional variety. The old saying “the truth is stranger than fiction” is no lie. My life has been exceedingly strange and often brutal. Many times the pain already cutting to the core of my soul was made all the sharper by a phenomenon called limerence.

How sharper than a serpent’s tooth...

Psychologist Dorothy Tennov coined the term limerence in her 1979 book, Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love. The phenomenon is discussed extensively by Anna Runkle, AKA The Crappy Childhood Fairy, on her YouTube channel.

The rest of the intro is available on my subscriber platforms. You have a choice of:

Odysee for 100 LBC (approximately $1).

https://odysee.com/@crazycreativescheerleadingcamp:2/limerence-book-intro:7

Ream for $5 per month.

https://bit.ly/NaughtyReam

Substack for $5 per month.

https://naughtynetherworldpress.substack.com/p/limerence-is-a-losing-game

Ream and Substack both give you access to any other material I publish on either platform. Substack is a blog and Ream offers ebooks. The Odysee post would be a one-off purchase. This is a better choice for someone who doesn't want to commit to a subscription but would like to offer a little monetary support.

"Yeah, but Ornery, who wants to read a depressing book about your depressing life?"

Fair enough. Feast your eyes on these fine options instead!

Lil DeVille's five-flame scorcher, The Liberation of Mac MacCarrick, is just one of the spicy stories in the Hot and Sticky anthology, to be released on August 1st. Pick up your copy here:

Proceeds benefit ProLiteracy.

It may be hot in the Jungle of Kled, but the characters in C. L. Hart's Lovecraftian fantasy adventure, The Quest for Captain Sammy's Treasure, aren't getting up to anything amorous. They just want to grab the treasure and get out of there as quick as possible, but a hideous colossus stands in their way. Find out what Sammy and his friends do, and check out the other swashbuckling tales in Pirate Gold too.

"I saw you hiding that Hot and Sticky anthology in your spell book, Harry."

"I'm a year older than your son, Ornery*. I can read smut books if I want to. Just don't tell Dumbledore, or he'll steal it."

*My son is 33.
