Wednesday’s Wow…
Happy Hump Day! The week is almost half over. Wow..does it seem like the first part of this year is speeding by?Writing is going well. Got some more added to a couple different stories. 🙂 I’m having Writer’s ADD at the moment. Can’t really focus all of my attention on one story, so I’m working on a couple to keep me interested.
Oh, btw, I wanted to let you all know that I’ll be going out of town for business next week. I leave after work on Tuesday and won’t be back until May 3. I’m hoping I’ll be able to have internet, but I’m not counting on it. It’s like a retreat thingie where I’ll be “locked” away without any contact with the outside world…unless I can be sneaky about it. I’m going to see if I can’t figure out how to schedule a post. If I can, you just might still get Bitter Creek installments while I’m gone. If not, I guess you’ll just have to wait.
I just wanted you all to know, so no one panics when I don’t post for a week or so. Nothing’s wrong, just work related. Ugh! 🙂
Hope you all have a great day.
Monday Blahs
I’ll admit, I didn’t do anything all weekend. Played golf on Saturday and hung out with friends. Sunday was reserved for family. 🙂 Saw people I only see once a year…lol.Since I was lazy, I don’t have a new poem or anything new to report on the writing side.
But T at International Heat has an interview with me today….about books and authors I like. Check it out.
I hope you all had a great weekend. Enjoy the eye candy. (Less fattening than all that Easter candy)
Another new cover and more edits…
For all of you who are impatiently waiting for Dreaming of Dragons, I reveal my new cover. Makes it all so much more real, doesn’t it? 🙂 Another Anne Cain original. I think it’s a perfect match to Here Be Dragons. I just received my first set of edits for DoD as well. So I’ll be working on that within the next few days.
His Heart’s Home is coming along and so are a few others that I’ve been working on once in a while when I need a small break from HHH.
Hey you should stop by Wave’s blog. She’s having a big blog birthday party with some cool posts and awesome prizes. Also, I’ll remind you all tomorrow, but starting tomorrow, I’ll be hanging out at DIK (Desert Island Keepers) blogging about heroes and music. (maybe…lol.)
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. 🙂
Friday Update…
Well, it’s a raining Friday here, but I guess I shouldn’t complain too much…at least it’s not snowing. 🙂
Writing is going well. I’m plugging away at His Heart’s Home mostly, but I have done a little work on two others. In addition, I have my first set of edits to finish up on Death or Life, and I just got my first set of edits on Tabloid Star. So I’ll probably be doing edits most of the weekend. Yay!…lol. Actually I don’t mind doing them.
I just saw the cover art for Death or Life and Anne Cain has done it again, everyone. She’s managed to get just the right feeling of suspense and sexiness that I think you (as the reader) will feel with this book.
She’s doing my cover for Dreaming of Dragons as well and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with on that one. For anyone who is still wondering, DoD will be available some time in May, I believe. No firm dates yet and the month/date is always subject to change, but May was what I was hitting for.
Also, Allergies will be out this weekend, April 5th to be exact. I’ll make sure to post the link as soon as it goes live. In addition, it’ll be available in print by the end of the month…if you’d like ot have your own personal print copy of it.
Hmmm…let’s see, I think I covered everything so far. lol I hope you all have a great day and weekend. Though stop back on Sunday and I’ll have a little excerpt from Allergies for you all. 🙂
Yay!
Thank goodness it’s Friday. Only seven more hours before it’s officially the weekend. 🙂
Not much to report….working is coming along wonderfully on all three of the stories I’m working on. His Heart’s Home is the one that’s the furtherest along at 31k, The Uprising (urban fantasy/post nuclear war) is at 11k and Feast of Dusan (based on a Christmas carol) is at 8k. While I focus most of my attention on HHH, I do try to do a little bit of writing on the other two, just to keep my imagination fresh. 🙂
I hope everyone has a great weekend. 🙂
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
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. 🙂
