Thanks to everyone for the great response to Ticket to Ride so far. Once I got who the characters needed to be for that story (thanks to Nelson, lol) it flowed fairly easily for me. Darn thing has been done since August so I was very ready for it to come out.
It's funny, a friend said to me, now that you have a book with the Beatles title, Ticket to Ride, are you going to make it a series with other Beatles song titles like Eight Days a Week or Paperback Writer or You've Got to Hide Your Love Away.
Um, I admit, my stupid brain sort of perked up at the notion. "Hmm, I could write a mystery series starring Chad and Jack. Or a new couple every book," the brain said. Hmm...fortunately, I turned off the brain and said no to it.
In other news, I am on the last chapter of Only in His Dreams. Go me! I should get it done today and off to where it needs to go. Huge sigh of relief. I'll post a release date, etc, when I know.
Since I am about done with that, I should be able to post part two of the Christmas story sometime Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
Speaking of those whose names are in for winning this weekend's release, The Best Gift are:

Please, if I have missed anyone, let me know. Sometimes my eyes skip over names.
The Best Gift is short, being under 10,000 words and it will fly by as you read it, promise. I went the opposite in that Chad and Jack are older heroes. In The Best Gift, Malcolm and Dusty are in their 20s.
Go Shawn -
ReplyDeleteNow you are done - you can put your feet up and have a cuppa...
E.H>
Well not quite done, pretty close, but I'll have that cuppa anyway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on almost finishing your book! I'm looking forward to the best gift!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about me! I want to enter, too!
ReplyDeleteYour comments on Jack and Chad being older heroes makes me feel REALLY ANCIENT! LOL!
Good luck with the new release this week!
Jack, you are a mere babe compared to me. I'm fast approaching 45.
ReplyDeleteIs it too late to join the party? Love your blog, Shawn!
ReplyDeleteI would like to enter to win your book with the sexy cover!
Only thing is, We are going out of town Friday. No computers for two weeks, will that make a difference?
It just means if you win, Nick, you can't read it until you get home. No worries. You'd just read it after, :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to finish your book! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, AF!
ReplyDeleteYou know I really want you to write a series. I'm hoping that one day you will.
Have a fabulous day, Gorgeous!
