Upcoming Story

Coming out of Cave to say that Arresting Love has been completed and accepted by Evernight Publishing. Don't have any release date as of yet, but did want to mention I have at least accomplished something.

I am working on Tempted to Taste which is due by December 01 to Amber Quill.

Writing Progress

It's been a while since I posted so I thought I'd go ahead and do so now.

To be honest, I'd stopped writing for a bit. Taking a longer extended writing vacation than I had intended.

 

But I have commitments so I had to force my laziness away!

 

I am currently working on a chef story for a pax coming up sometime next year for Amber Quill. The story is called, Tempted to Taste, and I am also excited to say it is part of the Sutter's Bay series though with main characters I had not yet introduced. Expect some secondary character appearances from previous characters from the story. Tempted to Taste centers around an aspiring chef, Ryan Callahan, who perhaps bites off more than he can chew when he is hired as the chef for a seafood restaurant in Sutter's Bay. And of course Ryan's would be hero is the owner of the restaurant, Chris Harrison. 

 

Other than that I am making very slow progress on a few other stories including Arresting Love (mostly written but stalled), Lincoln Hill #2 (started but stalled), and a nerd/geek sci-fi convention story.

Candy and Plans

Can't Be His was released yesterday. This is my last really short story, an Amber Kiss, (other than a free Christmas story coming on ARe later). Devotedly His is considered an "Extended Amber Kiss" and the two More Than books are novellas.

I'm currently sort of working on Eternally His, the next His story which is also a vampire story. I'm not really working hard on it though. Once that is done I will probably be working full steam on Leo's story as the 4th Sutter's Bay story(no title yet) and may work on Tempted to Taste, which might or might not be Sutter's Bay 5 or could be a standalone  unrelated to anything else story.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend and here is some candy to get you through the rest of it.

Back to Reality

I spent the last few days in Morro Bay, re-charging. It was glorious. The first day remained overcast, but the rest of the time I was there it was beautiful and sunny and never hot. We didn't want to leave. Alas, reality always sets in.

While I was there I started thinking more and more of a story I want to write. There's a restaurant there that's been there for 70 years and has been in the same family for that time. It's one of my all-time favorite restaurants. The owner now is the son of the original owners and is young and good-looking. When I say young he's probably between 35 and 40. He's a little on the the skinny side, but still very nice and cute.

So, I'm thinking of him for a romance. I don't know whether he's gay or not in real life but he wll be in the story I write, obviously. I'm going to adapt a bit of a story idea and a title I had for a story that never got written from 2009 and use it for this story. The characters and setting from the old story will change to this story. Obviously I won't get it written until some time in 2012.

So, in that way, my re-charge definitely helped me quite a bit. I'm still working on More Than Enough but am still on target to finish it by the end of August. Then I'll take it easy for the rest of the year, though, I suspect I will be writing something. I just won't kill myself over it.
