Final Days

Tomorrow is the last day to enter the contest to wine a copy of Eternally His.

Eternally His Contest

In the Dark Ages, Morton was taken from his lover, the warrior, Graham, and changed by the evil immortal, Seymour. When Graham is gravely wounded in battle, Morton changes his lover and the two immortals flee. But Seymour isn’t about to let the beautiful Morton go that easily.

After centuries of playing a cat and mouse game, Morton and his protector Graham are finally free from Seymour at last. They build a life together with Morton becoming the popular rock performer, Xavier. When rumors swirl that Seymour has been revived, Graham knows he must get his beloved away before Seymour appears seeking to keep Morton as his once more.

Contest is open now until February 03, 2012. Leave a comment to be entered. Book comes out February 05, 2012.

* fyi, this is not a historical in case you are wondering.

Officially Back

Okay, so I'm officially off my self-imposed holiday. For the most part I did goof off and get some reading and game playing done. I did, as the month got closer to an end, start a new writing project but I didn't push myself on it.

Eternally His should be released the beginning of February. I'm currently waiting patiently for the cover which I suspect will arrive in my in-box at any point. This is my first vampire story (a vampire-rock star-warrior story, actually) but may not be my last depending on how well it actually does. I think it's a good story anyway.

Finally His is due to be released the beginning of March. This story was written by request and I'll get into that more as it gets closer to release. Don't have a cover for that one yet either but I suspect that will be a while yet.

I'm working on a story that is a bit of a departure for me and I don't really want to say too much about it right now. It's going extremly well and I don't want to rock the boat. Once it is completed and off to find it's official home, I'll speak more openly about it. Not to worry it's M/M.

But I am also concentrating soley on this story through it's completion. The plan is to tackle Leo's story (Sutter's Bay 4) once this new story is out of the way.

Hope everyone had a great holiday.

In Other News

More Than Enough has been released this weekend. I hope you will enjoy it when you read it. It's my last official release for 2011. I have also released a free Christmas story on All Romance eBooks, Last Christmas. I posted the story on my blog last year but I have added a bit to it and those that didn't read it or want it in pdf might want to pick it up.

I finished my vampire story, Eternally His, and it's off to Amber Allure to be scheduled. When I get a release date I will update the blog. I'm still working on Finally His but hope to get that one done soon as well. That's one someone suggested the plot for and I went with it.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Plans

I should probably post something but, well, I just don't have much to say. I'm just working. I'm trying to get two books done by Thanksgiving (I have all of Thanksgiving week off from the EDJ), because I am trying, really, honest, I am, to take the rest of the year off from writing. Can I refrain from writing for the entire month of December? I sure want to. I'd love to catch up on some reading, including the many holiday stories releasing. And having these books finished and ready for my first two 2012 releases would be extremly helfpul.

Once January comes and I have returned to writing, I will probably work on Sutter's Bay 4, Leo's story. That's my plan anyway. But first I have to finish Eternally His and Finally His.  

A Few Updates

I chose this picture because in one of my current WIPs one of the cuties wears scarves. He doesn't quite look like Jay in Finally His, but he'll do for the blog purposes.

Just an update to say I am working on both Eternally His and Finally His and I hope to have them done this month. We'll see.

More Than Enough comes out at the end of this month and there will be another giveaway hosted by Stumbling Over Chaos.

In addition, I will have a free Christmas story available at All Romance Ebooks also at the end of the month.

That's it for now.

Updates - See You Soon

I'm off to Las Vegas Wednesday to see Elton John's Million Dollar Piano Show at Ceasar's Palace. Won't be back until Saturday night. I'm pretty excited as I've never see Elton John before.

I'm working on a couple of projects, Etermally His, and something else I'm not very far on so I won't talk about it yet.

Later this month, at the end of the month, More Than Anything, my Hot College Daze story will be released (there will be a related story, More Than Enough released in late November). There will be a giveaway for More Than Anything hosted by Chris and her Stumbling Over Chaos site. I'll let you know as that time gets closer. So that's about it for me. Here's a pretty picture until I am back to report more.

The End of Summer, Update, and Contest

I know in many parts of the country it's no longer summer hot, but here in Los Angeles we are still experiencing heat, hopefully not for too much longer.

My plan is to have Eternally His done by the end of November. I'm not rushing myself so yeah all the way until the end of November at least. If it's done before then, splendid. 

And speaking of "His", on October 02, my last "His" book for 2011 will be released (the last two releases for me are the More novellas). If you'd like to win a free copy of Devotedly His, comment here. Contest starts now and runs until September 30. This one's a little longer than the last one (though not as long as the two More novellas).  

Interesting News and More on Eternally His

Recently I was contacted by someone from USA Today asking if I'd be interested in having them review an Advanced Reader Copy of Devotedly His and also being interviewed. Apparently they are working on something new there though I don't have all the details yet.


So off the ARC went for the review and now I wait for the interview questions. I'll advise if/as I get more details. Pretty cool, I thought.


I've managed to get 4,000 words done on Eternally His so that's a step in the right direction. I'm combining two ideas with this story. My friend, Shayne, had asked me to write a rock star story (with a sort of Adam Lambert type) so that's one of my vampire heroes. This story is not a warm fuzzy story though or it won't be. Fair warning for the future when it's released sometime in 2012.

What's Up

I'm working on my first vampire story, Eternally His, and it's going slowly. Fine, but slow. I guess I'm in a little bit of a writing funk, honestly. But if he doesn't inspire me what does?

A Few Updates

Today is the last day to enter the contest to be one of two winners of Lost Between and Hitting it Big. I'll post the winners Saturday, July 9th.

I don't have any releases in August, so after these two go out, the next releases will be Can't Be His in early September and Devotedly His in early October.

That brings me through D in the alpha His series. The first one I will be doing for next year will be Eternally His and will be my first foray into vampires.I won't be working on that one for a while though.

I'm doing good on my college boys story, More Than Anything. I am quite certain I will have it done well before the deadline of September 01.

And that will leave me plenty of time to concentrate on what I want to write the last three months of the year.
