Saint Patrick's Day Free Book Giveaway

Well, since I am Irish, I have decided to do a little contest for St. Patrick's Day. Just an impromptu little thing.

Just leave a comment with what book from my entire backlist you would like to receive and I'll choose a random winner tomorrow and send off the free book.

What I am Working on Now

Okay, so I am officially working on Sutter's Bay 4 now. That's Leo's story for anyone who keeps track of the Sutter's Bay series. Leo is Galaxy's little brother from Galaxy's Heart. And no, in case you are wondering Tony, Galaxy's best friend, is not Leo's hero. To be honest I was intitally heading in that direction when something else hit me. I still intend to give Tony his own story, but at the moment he lives in LA and I have to get him to move to Sutter's Bay first.

I'm giving myself two and a half months to work on Leo's story. So I hope to be finished by the end of May when I have to turn my attention to my fairytale, Waking the Prince, which is due September 01.

A Few Updates

I’m working away on a story called, One More Time. I am getting very close to being finished with it and hope by the middle of the month I will have it finished. I’m excited about this story as I really liked writing it.

After that, it’s on to Leo’s story for Sutter’s Bay 4, which I hope to have finished by the end of May (when I am tentatively planning a little excursion trip to Boston). Poor Leo doesn’t have a title yet but hopefully I’ll be inspired for that soon.

In other news, the first six “His” stories will be gathered together in a paperback collection from Amber Quill, coming out sometime in May. As an ebook author it’s sometimes pretty cool to see your name on a paperback. I’m of an age where when I was younger that’s all there was, so having a nice little glossy package to hold in your hands is a “squee” moment.

Finally His Contest

My last contest for my last release for a while! Don't worry, I'll have more at some point, :)

Jay Anderson lives next door to the ruggedly handsome man of his dreams, detective Drake Hanover. He wishes their friendship could turn into more, but there's a problem -- Drake's ex-boyfriend, who has a habit of calling Drake after his breakups. After Drake once again caters to the whims of his ex, Jay about gives up hope Drake will ever see him as anything but the sweet, young twink next door.

Drake notices the sexy Jay - who wouldn't? - but the decade age difference between them and his needy ex keep him from thinking he could ever be more than Jay’s friend.

When his ex’s behavior gets to be too much even for Drake and the selfish man manages to hurt Jay, Drake realizes his feelings for Jay go far beyond friendship. Now if he could just convince Jay before Jay becomes his ex-neighbor...

What's New

So what have I been up to as you can see over there in the side bar I have only one “coming soon’ listed.

I’ve been writing. I am about half done or so with a new story unrelated to anything I’ve written so far. It’s still M/M. Once it is finished, it will be out there in publishing land to find it’s home. I’ve really liked writing this story and this character. And I hope once he is out there available you all will enjoy reading him.

Because my concentration has been on that story for more than a month, I don’t have anything else ready to go. I think I did mention that I will likely have less releases this year and that’s definitely how it’s playing out so far.

I do intend to tackle Sutter’s Bay 4 once I am done with the story I am writing and it’s been sent out. I’ll write that one straight through before beginning something else as well. Don’t have any idea how long it will take me to write it, but I would guess it won’t be out until late spring early summer.

I have a deadline book due September 01 and that sounds pretty far away right now, but once Sutter’s Bay 4 is finished, that will be the book I turn to because I don’t want to be rushing to finish it when August rolls around.

But as you can see I am not rushing out stories at the moment. My household will feel the pinch believe me, but at this point where I am, this is what I need to do writing-wise. I also already know what I will work on after the fairytale story due September 01. It’s quite possible I will only manage to write 4 stories this year. Shocking coming from me who once had like 13 releases in one year.

It also explains why I do way less posting on here than I once did. How many times can you say, oh, still writing this. I have seen what's going on in the blogsphere and romance writing world including the RWA stuff, but I have been mostly quiet on websites and the like lately. I rarely go onto goodreads and other sites I used to frequent.

There you have 2012 so far for me.
