Thursday Updates

I'll be gone Saturday and Sunday to Morro Bay and I'm not bringing my laptop. It's really shocking because I just got my beautiful ice blue baby this week and have hardly had a chance to pet it, plus Morro Bay motels have free internet. I can't tell you the number of places I've been where that is NOT the case.

Still it's only a couple of days and I made the decision I needed a mini-break from it. I'm rather obsessed with my computer. Plus it's a good rehearsal for later in the month when I am going to Denver for a couple of days for work and won't have internet access as I'll be stuck in meetings the entire time. Even the dinner is mandatory.

I'll be taking some pictures while in Morro Bay to post for later. As I think I've said, I set The Beach House in Morro Bay so I thought it would be fun to post pictures from where John and Mason hang out.

Anyway, so there won't be any posts on the blog either Saturday or Sunday this week and unless I can think of something mind-blowing for Friday I probably won't do much of a post Friday either. I'm getting a bit lazy I guess.

Twice in a Lifetime is coming along. I've only been able to write at lunch this week on it but since I have no real deadline except for the one in my head, I'm okay with that. Jude's first love was murdered so there's a bit more angst there. It's going to take some effort on Rex's part to convince Jude to give them a chance. Oh, Jude will be willing to have sex at some point (though I'm all the way through three chapters and no sex in sight, lol), but he'll be harder to convince to become involved in a more permanent arrangement. It's hard to believe that Sweet Reunion, where we first met Jude, briefly, was almost a year ago already. Time flies.

Hell, once I safely send Jude and Rex off into the sunset of happiness, I'll be working on The Other Side 2, AKA, The Same Side. By the time I have it finished and a release date it will be nearly two years. I plan on putting Nick and Ray through the ringer, too. And yes, be warned right now, spoiler alert, I am breaking them up. You'll just have to read it to see what happens.

That will take me into late summer and the next project. After that...who knows.

I ended up rambling a bit there, I know.

Upcoming Projects

I've come up with a name for my sequel to The Other Side and that is...The Same Side. I wanted it to match with the first one but I kind of felt The Other Side 2 didn't quite work. So, when I begin it, which will not, hopefully, be in the too distant future it will be The Same Side.



To just give you an idea where I plan to take the characters of Ray and Nick, I will say that Nick will still be a cop, but he will be taking on a very dangerous undercover operation that will drive a very serious wedge between the couple. You'll get the answer as to whether Ray won a seat on the city council and Ray's brother, Devon, will come out as gay himself.



The other project I plan on tackling next does not yet have a title. It will involve a secondary character from my September release, Sweet Reunion.



But first, I am working like mad on Ticket to Ride. I need to get my murder mystery romantic suspence tale done in just about three weeks.
