This Post Is For Drew

I forgot who I borrowed the princes picture from but since I adore Disney and two guys it seemed appropriate.

My dear sweet Drew who is very special to me prompted this post. He told me he missed my posting, so I created this one for him. 

Let's see. I got my edits for Accidentally His my story coming in March and I have to say I liked it better than I thought I did. It amused me quite a bit. It's a fun, lightherted story starring Kirk and Elijah. Eventually I will get around to writing a story for two of the other characters from it, Toby and Logan. 

I've gotten basically what amounts to four chapters done on Galaxy's Heart so definitely making progress. But...er...I have this urge to work on my Regency I wanted to write like two years ago with the butler and the third son of a duke or earl I was calling, Undeniable. I know, gasp. I'm sure this is because I have absolutely no time to write on anything so it sneaks up on me. My brain needs to be put in its place!   

A Post for Drew (We Miss You)

There's an online friend out there who disappeared in early May, right before his 21st birthday. In the few months myself and some other friends knew him, Drew greatly touched our hearts and our lives. You couldn't meet a sweeter, kinder guy and Shayne and I used to joke that we were his adoptive parents.

Drew has an artist's soul and is sensitive and very smart. Not long after the holidays of last year, Drew's father suddenly died. Drew was much too young to lose his father and both Drew and his mother struggled with the loss. Drew even dropped out of college to stay with his mother during this difficult time. He went several weeks without talking to us, but eventually he started responding to our notes and did his best to try and mingle amongst us again.

Until early May. It's been months since we've heard from him and many of us have emailed him numerous times. The recent rash of young gay teens committing suicide has me thinking of Drew and other young gay men and women struggling with day to day living in a country that is still incredibly intolerant at times.

I miss my adoptive son, Drew, very much and I still hope he will come back and tell us he is all right. I look for a note or a word from him every day. I hope some day he sees this post or reads his messages and knows how much we all miss him and will never judge him. We just want him to come back to us.

I'm Back

Here I am in Las Vegas:



These are some photos of Bellagio, outside with the dancing water and of their spring garden:














And finally the deadzone. It looks nicer than it is, trust me. This is where we stayed at stateline between Nevada and California. No internet, cracked and pealing wallpaper, stained carpets, and various other questionable things.



I had a lovely time but ended up losing several hundred dollars to Las Vegas. "O" was pretty cool, though somewhat bizarre.

Today I received the cover for His One and Only. There it is to the side on the right. I must say Drew is totally wrong. He looks NOTHING like the character in the book. But the guy representing Mark, the attorney is nice.

Drew's Birthday

Very briefly since I won't be able to get on the internet much until Sunday afternoon after this.

Saturday is Drew's birthday. Or so Goodreads says.

Happy Birthday Drew!





Love ya kid!

The Nothing New Day

This is one of those days when I really have nothing to say. Sad, isn't it? I'd decided I was going to try to post something pretty much every day but what happens to days like this when there is nothing to report?

Hmm. I am anxious to finish Still the One. I love Dusty and Malcolm but others are calling to me. The good news is I am working toward their satisfying conclusion and I don't anticipate having any trouble finishing this weekend.

I'm waiting on two covers at present. I submitted my cover form for Still the One so I am waiting for that and of course the cover for Calvin and Matt's story, Only His Heart.

Once this one is out of the way, I intend to continue writing Jude's story and also to start the final "only" book, His One and Only starring Drew and Mark. Yes, I named Drew after our Drew. I have a tendency to name characters after some people I know and many of the characteristics of people I know, as well as myself, end up in the book.

On Saturday, the excerpt posted will be from Ava March's upcoming release, From Afar. I suggest you don't miss this book if you are an Ava fan because it will be a long time before her next one comes out. Isn't that right, Ava? lol.

Shayne, Drew and a Pretty One

I found myself a lovely brunette model with big pouty lips and one too young for EH. He does look young, I will agree. But with those lips you can see why I posted him.

My beautiful bff, Shayne, is under the weather again. As I am sure Shay would agree, he is sick too often. Jack informs me that my Shayster is grumpy and is now on medicine prescribed by his doctor.

Also, our dear sweet Drew has been missing for a while because of a personal tragedy that he is far too young to have to endure. I hope he comes back to us soon as we miss him.

Please keep Drew and Shayne in your thoughts.
