Hello all! I am just popping in for a quick note to let you know I turned in edits for Second Chances, Dragon’s Egg 2 just now! I added an entire chapter to flesh out the romance and I am holding my breath waiting for a release date! I am off to bed now! 

OMG! Fantastic news and I am so happy to share it! The cover came out for book two: Second Chances, Dragon's Egg 2. This is a shorter story about your favorites: Sebastian and Gavin. I loved reading everyone's reviews of the first book and I heard many requests for just a little more. I listened and I provided. It was also a nice break while I was stuck in writer's block on book 3 - Matt and Ingor's story - which is about two chapters away from being finished.

So, here is the cover:

The book is anticipated to be out in June.

Hello! Oh man, Taken is up to 101 reviews! That is so fantastic and encouraging. I have signed the contract on Dragon’s Egg 2 (because Siren only does whole numbers) and am working through the cover stuff and the editing stuff. Things are moving along nicely. Dragon’s Egg 3 is under some major revisions because I took the last 1/4 in the wrong direction and I didn't even want to read it to edit it so that told me something was missing. I have done a little thinking and am digging back into writing with a whole new plan for the ending! I feel so bad for Matt though. This has been a tough one to write.

Also, The Spring Manlove contest is going to start soon so take a look!

Writers Block and Bad Words

Today has been one of those days where I realize the last two chapters make no sense with the first 2/3 of the story and need to be redone. It’s OK though, just hit delete and start over! I've kind of written myself into a tight space between a rock and a hard place. The worst part is this is coming off of a week of writers block! Oh well. I don’t mean to sound whiny, really I’m not. I am very happy I went back and reread before writing more. Time to stay up late and play catch up!

Also, still waiting to hear back on Dragon’s 1.5, however, it’s only been a week.

I have a new idea for a totally unrelated book once I finish the current project. I am pretty excited about the idea I’m spinning and have gone so far as to start writing it down and mapping out the characters. 

Submitted!

Hi guys, a small update here. The manuscript has been send and hopefully I will hear back in a few weeks if they want to publish it! I really hope they will, I think my readers will appreciate a little more of Gavin and Sebastian while I work on the next book. Based on my word count goals, book 2 is 90% done. So I just need to get a few nights of writing in around work and school and we will be good! I’m really motivated now, this is my favorite part of the process. 

Dragon's Egg 1.5

Hello everyone! I am really excited! Taken was my first publishing endeavor and I think it has been successful. I surpassed the number of books I thought I would sell, and amazingly, the number of reviews I thought I would get. On Goodreads I have 92 ratings and that just blows my mind. I read the reviews, both good and bad, and I have immensely appreciated each of them.

The thing I heard the most was the people wanted a little more of Gavin and Sebastian, so I wrote a short follow-up. It flowed so fast and I can’t say how many nights I stayed up working on it because I just had to get it out. Today I am going to do my first read through and correct any big errors. Then I plan to print it and do the “big edit”, which for some reasons works out better on paper.

It was difficult writing this one, I wanted to write so much more. The other difficult thing, which it both good and bad, was writing in some new characters. Now I find I want to write their stories. But, after Matt’s book I am thinking about putting this bit on hold to finish my other series (3.5 or 4 books already done).

Matt and Ingor’s book is at 40k words, so about 10 more to go and then I can start the editing there. It’s all coming along so well and I am just so amazed by it all.
