Another Coming Soon…
Amber Allure will be releasing Nick of Time on August 30th (or at least that’s the date they gave me, but as always, dates aren’t set in stone until the book comes out…lol) The print version will be out in September, I believe. 🙂 So you will finally know what happened with Nick and Gryphon.
Still working on His Heart’s Home and those boys. I have edits to start on Death or Life. I’m hoping to get those done by this weekend.
I’m listening to Blue October’s newest album Approaching Normal…(came out yesterday and I had to get it.) I love their other cds. Such an unusual mix of music and the lead singer’s voice is amazing.
Well, I hope everyone has a great Hump day and stay dry.
Monday again…
I did want you all to know that I finished Nick of Time, just going over it once more and writing up a synopsis before sending it to Amber Allure. When I hear anything, I’ll let you all know.
That means I’ve been working on His Heart’s Home and I’m well over halfway done with it. Hopefully that means I’ll be done with it by the middle of April, if not sooner. Yay!…lol
Have a great Monday, everyone. (Yes, I do realize that might not be possible simply because it’s Monday, but just think, it’s one day closer to the weekend.)
Friday
Our warm weather has disappeared again, but I’m hoping that this will be the last really cold spell. 🙂 That’s probably just wishful thinking on my part.
Hey, it’s Friday and that makes it a good day anyway.
I’m almost done with Nick of Time, possibly about 2-5k more left to write. So I should have it finished today, sent off to some people to check out for me and then submitted by next week sometime. Woo-hoo! Then I’ll be working on His Heart’s Home and a totally different story (urban fantasy, post-nuclear bombs setting). Need a change from all the contemporaries I’ve been writing lately.
Well, I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Monday…blah
Sorry, I have nothing particularlly interesting or profound to say today…lol. I really would have prefered to stay home, curled up under some blankets and sleep today away. But it is getting warmer out and the days are getting longer, so that’s always good.I do have good news. I submitted Nowhere Diner to Amber Quill yesterday and heard back from them already. They want it. The full title is Nowhere Diner: Finding Love and is the first of three books in the series (though I’m sure there could be more if I so chose…lol)
Now I can get back to finishing Nick of Time and His Heart’s Home.
Oh, if you scroll down a little farther, you’ll see my cover for tomorrow’s release, Ghost of a Chance. Isn’t it beautiful? Anne Cain did another out-standing job.
I hope you all have a great Monday…even though it is Monday..lol
Ghost of a Chance Cover
Woot! Anne Cain did it again, everyone. 🙂 Another awesome cover by the cover goddess herself. I’m not sure if I remembered to mention this, but Bitter Creek’s Redemption will be postponed one day (until Wednesday) this week because Ghost comes out on Tuesday, so I’ll be posting an excerpt on St. Patrick’s Day. 🙂
But if you’d like a sneak peek, Elisa has posted an excerpt from the book on her livejournal today. Stop by and check it out. 🙂
Nowhere Diner: Finding Love was finished on Friday. I’m going to go through and clean it up before sending it on to the publisher I’ve picked for it. I’ll let you all know how that goes as soon as I find out.
Hope you all are having a great weekend.
Friday Fun
I just thought I’d give you two pieces of eye candy today since it is Friday…lol.
Good news…Ghost of a Chance should be released next Tuesday. The next installment for Bitter Creek will be on Wednesday, so I can post an excerpt of Ghost for your viewing pleasure on Tuesday. 🙂
I’m close to finishing Finding Me, which is the first book in the Nowhere Diner series. I made up my mind about the title the other day. I only have one more chapter to add and then I’ll be cleaning it up and sending it to one of my publishers.
I hope you all have a great Friday and that the weather is beautiful wherever you are. 🙂
Happy Hump Day
Wow…Wednesday all ready? I know it sounds odd, but the week is just flying by. 🙂
I don’t have much to report. Writing is going well. I’m managing at 3k a day on one story and getting little bits for some other ones.
Hope you all have a great day.
Poetry Train #94
Untitled…
Eyes closed, I absorb your presence,
Aching to trail my fingers over your body.
But I’m bound by invisible ties
To someone whose love I could never return.
I long to be honest
But my tongue is tied.
I wish to be strong
But my compassion makes me weak.
Somehow you understand what I’m feeling.
I see the need in your eyes,
Though we stand next to each other,
There is a chasm I can’t cross.
I smile and laugh with friends,
Dying inside an inch at a time.
Wishing I could hold you,
While my arms are wrapped around another.
–T.A. Chase c. 2009
Finally it’s Friday…
Thank goodness the weekend’s finally here. This week started out crummy and has gotten a little better over the days. I’m feeling much better, but still I’m looking forward to sleeping in the next two days. 🙂
Well, Tabloid Star has a September release date. I’ll give you the exact date as soon as I can. And it looks like Dreaming of Dragons will probably be out in May. Of course, neither of the dates are a hundred percent solid. Like everything else, it’s subject to change…lol.
Still that gives me six books out the first six months of this year. 🙂 If I write quick enough, maybe I can fill in July and August, so there won’t be a gap between any books until we get into fall and winter.
If you remember, for one Poetry Train, I posted an excerpt from a story titled Nowhere Diner (which I’m thinking of changing to Cookie’s Diner…we’ll have to see). Little did I expect when I wrote that scene, that Tim, the character whose point-of-view we hear the story from, would not shut up. I’m 31k into his story now, and hoping that I’ll be much farther along by the end of the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me. (I know a lot of you are waiting for other books to get finished and come out, but I can only work on the stories that are flowing for me and this one happens to be it. But don’t worry, I’ll be getting back to those other stories soon enough.)
Hope you all have a great weekend.
Tabloid Star inspiration
So this is my inspiration for Ryan Kellar, the newest up-and-coming star in the Hollywood scene and one of my heroes from Tabloid Star. 🙂 Rather yummy, don’t you think?
And the picture below is the one I used to inspire me as I wrote about Joss Bauer, the bartender who rocks Ryan’s world, but who has his own problems to deal with. Those tattoos are just so lickable…lol. 😉
So what do you all think?
Enjoy the eye candy and I hope you all have a great Friday, plus a wonderful weekend. 🙂
