A Little Bit Of Sin Chapter 1

This story is currently in editing and publishing stages ... For more information, please go to author's website for update http://sylviahubbard.com

A Little Bit of Sin Won't Hurt - Synopsis

As promised (although one day late), I'm posting one day early since a lot of you have time on Saturday, but we're low on Sunday, plus with high numbers early Monday morning, I thought it'd be nice to come into the blog and post so they'll have something nice to start off the week.

(Plus Monday's are bad for me.)

As always, I post the synopsis first. This is just for the new readers and people who are swinging by wondering what the heck is going on.

Reminders: For more of the story to post, comment often, invite others and just have fun. There are only usually two posts a week and please remember folks. This is off the top of my head, so I really don't know what's going to happen.

Here goes...

Initial Synopsis:

Synthia is a beauty like no other - not only on the inside but as well on the outside. She's used to men falling over her, but she never made a big deal about her apperance. Accomplished in business, intelligent, with a great sense of style, she's pleased that she can finally get married to a man who she's only content with. Just as she makes good arm candy for him, it's reciprocal for her. Plus after a past incident, she swore she would only allow herself to date well to do professional men who made a legitimate living. Her only fault she could say was her voracious curiosity.And on the day before she knows George is to propose, her best friend puts in her head the one thing she has never done: Slept with a guy outside of her race. With her beauty, she can't just find anyone, so she does what any one in her position and wealth would do: She finds a professional.Let's just hope George never finds out what a good time she had.

Author’s Note : Usually I’m inspired by a lot of things around me, but the inspiration for this story actually came from my recent infatuation with certain Irish actors. I think I watched PS I Love You just a little bit too much and a lot of Colin’s personality was based on all the Irish men from that movie. On top of that, I got a lot of the feeling in the story from Macy Gray’s song called I Try. I listened to it repeatedly (72 hours straight).

First Chapter Coming Soon!!

Are You Ready For A Live Story?

For my past readers you know during these live stories, I do need feedback.

I know how life gets busier and busier, so before I start a live, I'd love to know if this is what you'd like as well. (ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A LIVE STORY)


What's the book you ask?

(well, you didn't ask, I was asking for you.)

there's been a change of plans.

You know how my mind goes... well, no you don't because even I don't know.

With that, I have changed the story.

The last time I made a plan was with Sin's Iniquity when I not only changed the color or the male character but also his name. (I love the name Christopher, but I hate typing it.)

This Live Story is called:


A little bit of Sin Won't Hurt




So what's it about...

hmmm, as you can see it'll be another adventure into I/R.

I know it'll be short. Not my usual novels and it'll be only an ebook, unless i make it so out the world a publisher has picked me up.

So what's it about you ask again.

Synthia is a beauty like no other - not only on the inside but as well on the outside. She's used to men falling over her, but she never made a big deal about her apperance. Accomplished in business, intelligent, with a great sense of style, she's pleased that she can finally get married to a man who she's only content with. Just as she makes good arm candy for him, it's reciprocal for her. Plus after a past incident, she swore she would only allow herself to date well to do professional men who made a legitimate living. Her only fault she could say was her voracious curiosity.

And on the day before she knows George is to propose, her best friend puts in her head the one thing she has never done: Slept with a guy outside of her race.

With her beauty, she can't just find anyone, so she does what any one in her position and wealth would do: She finds a professional.

Let's just hope George never finds out what a good time she had.

And that's where I am. In my head, I've introduced myself to the male lead Colin.

I like him, though he has lots of faults. Some I don't really like at all, but that's the way it goes when you write about things that are wrong with people and are bad in this world.

I hope you join me and If you are interested in a "sneak preview," comment below and then forward this blog off to a million readers.

I think we're on a great adventure. I think we're going to cry in this one. A whole lot. I don't know if I'm going to kill anyone yet, but you know there will be love.

Something never bought or sold and to this day, I have yet to acquire.

BTW, check out my new website and of course you've noticed the new look of the blog. Please comment away on that too!

Five Updates from Your Author:

Hellow everyone!


It's been quiet on the home front and I know you all would love to know what's going on.


First off: Tanner's Devil




I have signed a contract to publish with Red Rose Publishing (www.redrosepublishing) for electronic and print rights. I will rely on you to spread the word about this book and of course post your reviews once it's up on Amazon.

Hopefully by that time, RRP will have their books also available for overseas ordering as well, so my fans that love to read the book will get a chance to order it as well.

Of course that will mean some hard promotions, so I hope you guys will offer me a door to getting the word out as in what blogs I can be featured on and radio shows I can pop in for readers to know more about me.

SPEAKING OF REVIEWS:

I'm asking again for reviews on stealing innocence. If you know someone who's read the book and who has told you about the book and you're also the someone who has read the book, PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! post a review on Amazon.

I'm getting ready to option Stealing Innocence III: Lethal Heart and I need more reviews on the book on Amazon to show that you guys are really loving this series.

Help a sistah out, okay?

(Recently I've been visiting some forums and found out they were giving the product away for free. I was very disheartened that some readers could be so cruel to do that knowing I'm a hard working woman that needs every penny she can get in her goal to stay at home and write more.)
So, I'm doing things a little differently and that's why it's taking so long for me to come out with a book this time because I been feeling like i've been betrayed.

But whenever I've been pushed down to the ground, I just get back up and say, hey, I'm getting this right.

Keep reading... it gets better.

If you can't post a review on that, then do me a big fave and go to

I should and that's a big SHOULD have at least a first chapter ready for you by June. Really, I'm very confident about it because I have some Heart family issues to work out. I've completed the family tree (I've got one more relative to add because no one guessed the relative in Diary of A...) and then I've got some Lethal/King problems. (I've got to get King to Detroit and in Sexstasy I found a way on how to do.

Mr ( G.Stuart).

I am Mr Grady Stuart, Senior Staff, with a Bank here in Madrid- Spain . I got your contact while searching for a reliable someone to contact for this transaction in regards to a business transfer for a huge sum of money in a dormant account. I need your assistance to transfer to overseas Nine Million, Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars Only (US$9,550.000.00).

I am seeking your humble assistance to provide either an existing bank account or set up a new Bank account to receive this fund, even an empty account can serve this purpose, or you help to seek an honest and, reliable businessman who can assist us. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that this transaction is being handled by me and my colleagues, who are also departmental heads in the same bank.

During the course of our audit ing we discovered a floating fund in a domiciliary account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account, after going through some old files in the records we discovered that the owner of the account who is a foreigner died in Madrid Bombing of 11th of March 2004,without any traceable next of kin hence the dormant nature of the account and if nobody come to claim this funds it will be re- channel to government coffers as unclaimed funds.

If this proposal is acceptable by you, do not take undue advantage of the trust I have bestowed in you, I await your swift response via my personal mail : (gradystau2008@gmail.com)

Mr Grady Stuart.
