Happy Hunk Day
Well, today is going to be a good day, I can tell. The dentist didn’t need to do anything to my tooth. So the actual toothache must have been caused by sinuses, which makes sense. lol I’m working on winding Love’s Baggage up, then it’s on to my Christmas story. I was going to write two Christmas stories, but I think the second one is going to be a Valentine’s story instead. I don’t have enough time to get the second one done before I need to work on my third Horsemen story. 🙂 No worry though, the story idea will work just as well as a Valentine’s story.
Have a great day…and be careful everyone.
Ugh!
That’s about how I feel today. I have a tooth ache, so I have to see about getting a dentist appointment for it. Yay! I’m so looking forward to that…lol.
Writing is going well. I’m over halfway done with Love’s Baggage, and it will be done by Sept. 1st. which is the deadline for it. Then I have a Christmas story to write. After that, the third Horsemen story.
Well, I hope you all have a good day. I’m off to make a dentist appointment. 🙂
Computer issues……
I’m having computer problems, so I’ll be off line most of the day. Also, I was experienced them yesterday and didn’t get the next installment of The Longest Stride done. I’m going to work on it and hopefully, everything will be fixed and I get the it posted for you tomorrow. 🙂
Have a good day.
Another Monday….
this weekend was pretty slow. Didn’t do a lot of writing. Just hung out with family and friends. But now I have to really start hammering out the words. 🙂
I know this is a rather short post, but I really don’t have anything exciting to say and I have to get busy…lol
I hope you all have a great Monday.
Look at this pretty….
This is the cover for the first Horsemen book, Pestilence. Isn’t it gorgeous? Just what I was hoping for. Now I really can’t wait to see the other three covers. I think they’re going to look beautiful as print books as well.
This will be out on Sept. 12th…and I thought I’d post the blurb again to whet your appetite.
For Pestilence, the White Horseman, love becomes the most powerful cure.
Having lost his wife and child during the Black Plague, Pestilence accepts the fate destiny has given him as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. For centuries, Pestilence did his job, spreading plagues and disease around the world. He does it to keep the balance between good and evil, yet he hates every minute of it. He longs to be left alone, but suddenly fate seems to have a different plan for him.
When Bart Winston stumbles into an Amazon clearing, he’s terribly ill and sure he’s going to die. A tall white-haired man with unusual black eyes catches him in his arms and Bart’s life takes a turn into the unbelievable. Blaming the whole situation on his illness might have worked, but as he gets better and learns about the strange man who heals him, Bart must accept there are more things in the world than he ever guessed.
Pestilence and Bart heal each other, and begin to wonder if there can be a future for the White Horseman and the mortal he’s fallen in love with.
Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series
I’ve turned in the cover art form for War, and I’m working on the forms for Famine and Death, even though I haven’t written the stories yet. 🙂 I’m still plugging away on Bandit’s story, and things are going well with his book. I’ve introduced some new characters I think you’ll like. Now I just have to decide if I’m going to write their stories as well, or just let you all decide what happened to them…lol
Have a great Friday and a marvelous weekend.
WHy I Love Waiters available…
Why I Love Waiters is available at Amber Allure now. Click here to check it out. I added about two chapters to it along with an epilogue I hope you all enjoy. 🙂
Writing on Bandit’s story is going well. I’m getting ready to start writing the first love scene. Hopefully the boys will cooperate, but while I always knew Bandit would be a handful, it appears Allen is as well. Plus a couple other new characters who’ve joined the party…lol. It should be fun.
I hope you all have a great Monday.
Story postponed….
I had fun at the zoo yesterday, but ended up coming home with a migraine. Ugh! I hate them. So instead of writing up the next installment for Longest Stride, I went to bed. I’m feeling better this morning, and you’ll be able to get your next installment tomorrow, I promise. 🙂
I just heard from Total e-Bound and War will be contracted. Woot! Great news. It’ll be out Dec. 26th. and I’ll share the blurb with you all on Monday. 🙂 I plan on working on Bandit’s story today, so hopefully I’ll be way ahead of schedule by the weekend.
Have a great Thursday, everyone.
Day off…
I’m a day or two ahead of schedule on Love’s Baggage, so I’m taking today off and heading to the zoo with my family. Woot! I’m hoping it’ll be a nice day. No rain and no blazing sun either. 🙂
And I’ll probably take a notebook to jot down some scenes while we’re there or stopped for lunch. Never know when I’ll get ideas. So I’ll still be writing, just not at my desk in my office…lol.
I hope you all have a great day.
War is done
Finished War yesterday and sent it in for approval. Along with all the forms. Now just waiting for the official contract to sign. Next up on the list is Love’s Baggage, Bandit’s story. Woot! I actually have most of the first chapter already written. I’ve been writing it out longhand because at times, I don’t want to sit at the computer and work. So I grab a notebook and go sit out in the living room or even outside. The story will flow better as well. Now I just need to type in what I’ve got done to see how far I am in the story. 🙂
Well, I’m going to get working. Have a great Monday.
The end is near
of the week and War, the second Horsemen book. Woot! I’ll definitely have it finished by Sunday, which was my goal all along. It’ll be around 52k, which means it’ll be going into print at Total e-Bound. 🙂 I’m making sure all of the Horsemen books are long enough to go into print. That way each book has it’s own cover and everything. 🙂 Also, there’ll be a fifth book, not really part of the series, but there’s a reoccurring character in each story that needs his own, so I talked to my editor, and she said send her a synopsis and we’ll see what we can do. I really hope everyone likes the Horsemen series. They’ve been interesting to write.
Cynthia, you asked about Yancey and Juan from the Home series. Well, I know I’ve said this before and it hasn’t happened, but I really do plan on writing about them soon. My schedule is filled for the rest of this year and I don’t plan on adding any other books into it. Couldn’t even if I wanted to…lol…that’s how packed it is. But I’ve written out a schedule for myself listing each book I want to write for each month and the last two Home books are scheduled in for next year. Leaving Home, Peter’s story, I’m going to have finished by April, and Home Sweet Home, Yancey and Juan’s story, I’m going to have done by June. I’m hoping that will mean they’ll both be out next year as well. I’m not sure what kind of release schedule Liquid Silver is running on right now. I’m sticking to that schedule if it kills me…lol
What’s my schedule look like, you might ask. Well, it’s a 24×36 dry erase board and I have 2011 thru 2018 written on there. Yep, I have stories planned out to 2018. Titles are listed under each year with the month I plan on having them finished by. I have six stories left to write this year. Two of them are really short Christmas stories, so they shouldn’t be too hard to knock out. The other four are Love’s Baggage, Bandit’s story from Preternatural series. Famine and Death from the Horsemen series. And Trailing Air, Rover’s story from the Preternatural series. So I’m hoping to have both series pretty much wrapped up by the end of the year. Sure, there’ll be one more in the Preternatural series, and that’s Jess/Pavel’s story, but I’m going to fit that in next year. And the spin-off book for the Horsemen series, but that one will be a stand alone. You won’t need to read the first four to understand what’s happening in this one.
I thought you might be interested in what I’ve got planned out in the next couple of months. Next year there will also be new stories coming out. I have two new series planned at Total e-Bound. I think you’ll enjoy both of them. At least I hope so. 🙂
Well I’ve babbled enough to everyone. Back to my ‘office’ to finish up War and fill out the cover art/blurb forms for War, and the other two Horsemen books. Might as well get those done, so all I have to do is write the books…lol.
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
