Finding Forever Contest

Okay the contest to win a copy of Finding Forever can be found over at Stumbling Over Chaos here.

Thanks!

This story is the fourth story set in fictional Sutter's Bay.

Update Time

I've been doing plenty of writing lately and I am happy to advise that I have another story coming from Amber Allure. This one is called Maybe This Time and is due to be released September 23, 2012. I am now back to working on my fairytale, Waking the Prince, and I am expecting that will be out either October or November. I'll advise on that once I know.

And speaking of Ambure Allure, for the first time in its history they are opening up for general submissions. The information can be found here, Amber Allure Submissions. As someone who has been with them since 2008 I can tell you they are a great publisher. So if you are a new MM author or one looking to expand your publishers, check them out. I can also tell you that I have seen the test version of the new website and it promises to be really cool when it goes live.

And finally, shortly Stumbling Over Chaos will be hosting a giveaway for Finding Forever, Sutter's Bay #4, but I will post here when the contest is up.

Some Progress

The best laid plans as they say.


I had been saying I intended to get Finding Forever (Sutter’s Bay 4) done by the end of May, but I have to say that’s just not going to happen.

I’ve been working on it, but I put it aside to work on a couple of other things, Getting Wade, my anthology story, being one of them, and so that has, unfortunately, delayed my progress on Finding Forever.

I’m still working on another project but I am also back to working on Finding Forever and it is still my intention to have it done in June. If all goes as I wish, then I expect probably a September release for that one.

Yes, I know there is a rather big gap between my last release in March and any release later this year. I think at this point my anthology story is probably the first one to be released and that isn’t until August. But this year has been different as I’ve been expanding my publishing horizons.

All is going well, though, if not at the breakneck speed of past years.

There's still time to send me an email if you want to be entered to win a print copy of my first six "His" stories. I'll let you know when the contest closes but it's open right now.

In other non-news I am still working on Finding Forever, (Sutter's Bay 4). Still crossing my fingers I can get it done by the end of May. It's been more of a struggle than I thought it would be, but I hope it pays off when it's finished.

Hopefully, in June I can begin working on Waking the Prince again so I can get that finished. It's deadline is September, but really I'd like to get it done before that because then I intend to start a new series for me, probably a trilogy featuring three different couples.  

A Few Things

Since I have nothing coming out for a while, I still feel the need to provide an update so you don't forget I exist!


I'm well into Sutter's Bay 4, which now officially has the title of Finding Forever. This is Leo's story. I know many people might have assumed that Leo was going to be matched with Tony, Galaxy's friend, but I decided to match Leo with someone his own age. If you wonder what might be in store for future stories for Sutter's Bay, I have one in mind for Rex's troubled brother, Steve (mentioned in Twice in a Lifetime) as the next Sutter's Bay story (#5). Tony will probably conclude the series at #6 unless I suddenly get inspired to write more stories from that little town. At the moment, though, I have no plans to go beyond #6.


And speaking of series I do have a story in mind for the next "His" book but not sure when I can get to writing it. This one will go way back to Regency times. I don't write too many historicals these days but I can't totally seem to get away from them since I once only read and wrote historicals myself. For the most part I feel I have a contemporary voice, but this is a story I've been wanting to write for a long time, so I am going to do so. When, beats me.


Further speaking of series books, I have an idea for a trilogy. Related books similar to the Only series, in that each book will feature a different couple but are related to the others. Not sure when I will get to those books either. Probably late 2012.


Up next on the writing agenda following Finding Forever is my fairytale sleeping beauty story, Waking the Prince. I started this story some time ago, originally for a sub call for another publisher. I never got it finished in time fore that and have been messing with it ever since. But AQ decided to do a fairytale Pax collection and with Waking the Prince in mind, I signed up for it. I have to have it finished by September 01, but I've got a jump on it and am really happy with what I've got so far, so I think I can get it done in plenty of time for the deadline.


Finally, the first six "His" stories will be available sometime in May in a paperback. I don't have a cover yet but it will show up there on the side when I do.  


That's pretty much it as far as updatess for me.
