I thought once the Farmers Market ended, I'd have lots more free time for writing and editing. That hasn't happened. Looks like the holidays are going to keep me busy. Not sure why I'm surprised! Fangs for Everything is going up for pre-order shortly and then I have to decide what I'm working on next. I have several books written that need edits, a couple with partial outlines, and plot bunnies trying to catch my attention. But I think Like Cracks in the Sidewalk is at the top of the list. It started as my NaNo project in 2016 and I've learned a lot in the last 6 years. It deals with addiction and second chances and is much darker than what I normally write, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes.    The story is told from James's POV: When I thought he was asleep, I slid out from under the blanket and sat up. As I leaned over to put my shoes back on, Val whispered, “Stay.” I froze and sat motionless. It was a plea and there was a sense of déjà vu, an ...

I'm nearing the end of my Fangs for Everything journey. The last episode is up on Vella, the cover is back from the designer, and I'm working on formatting the ebook and paperback. Hopefully, the pre-order will be ready within the next two weeks, depending on how life goes, and then the book will go live mid December. Which means it's time to decide what my next project will be! At the top of the list is Three Times Better (working title), my attempt at a poly relationship.  Yesterday's surprise. The weather report never mentioned snow!  But it is giving my Holiday feels! The plot bunny for this one started rolling around a little over a year ago and I have lots of notes. For me, getting the first chapter right is the foundation I build the rest of the book on. I've been debating who's POV I'm going to kick the story off with--Milo or Chris. This is Milo's. I may end up writing Chris' also, just to see which I like better:  The music was all smooth...

I'm six weeks into my Vella "experiment" and although I'm not getting rich off it, I'm glad I gave it a try. I'm sure there is a trick to the marketing that I'm missing, but I've not had time to research it. I think that will be a good project for January and February--those months that drag! I'm still trying to get caught up after GRL, but it was such a fun week that the extra work is worth it! This week's snippet comes from Vampire Tim's first chapter. He's been musing on his and Oakley's relationship. To note, he's been a vampire for 15 years at this point, and he had a successful business when he was turned: It was only minutes later when we arrived at my condo. Or, I suppose I should say our condo, since Oakley moved in after I got tired of going back and forth between our two places. I liked to believe it was my idea, but my place was twice as big as my walking, talking bloodbag’s former place, plus it was a nicer building...
