It’s been nearly two years since I’ve written a blog post. Outside of my small writers group, I’ve barely been on social media at all! Instead, I spent much of the last two years watching the news in horror, going to my day job, and working a second job caring for a 95-year-old dementia patient in a reputedly haunted house.
Was the house haunted? Well, some nights it certainly felt like it.
Did I take notes for a future story? You know I did!
But in September, when my kids went from virtual learning to a blend of online and in-person classes, I left my second job. I couldn’t put this person at risk.
It’s amazing what you can do in three months when you suddenly find yourself with hours of free time every week! Since that time I’ve adopted two more kittens, had carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand, given my website a facelift, written two stories, and started a third.
I signed a contract on the first of the two stories just a few days ago. Big Flames and Small goes back to my contemporary romance writing roots. Yes, romance-romance! It was super fun to write and is slated to be released April 10, 2021 through JMS Books. When we get closer to that date, I plan to have some fun with a cover reveal, games and giveaways. So, make sure to keep an eye out for future emails, on my website, Facebook, Twitter, or, at least it’s my plan, Instagram. Yeah, I’m finally hoping to do something more than just following people on Instagram. But why is that so intimidating?! LOL
I have also finished the final read through of my second story, and will be sending it out to my beta readers mid-week and releasing the book to the world in March of this year! (Interested in volunteering to beta this story? Check out the Call For Beta Readers below.)
Club 669 is an M/M romance set in a world of witches, vampires, shifters and us lowly humans.
See the blurb below…
Please Note: An editor has yet to reviewed this blurb, and I suck at all thing editing. You have been warned. LOL)
Club 669 - a story from the House of Witches
Witch’s corpse. Witch’s ticket. Witch’s party.
As a counter-boy at a high-end men’s boutique, Charlie Jessup’s life consists of little more than work and sleep. That, and enough flirting to help guarantee his commission on sales pays his rent. So when a twist of fate, and some behavior unbecoming that of a Ganymede employee leaves him in possession of a dead man’s pass to a mysterious Club 669, Charlie has no plan to waste it.
Every 17 years, the House of Witches throws a party like no other. It’s invitation-only, and for centuries it has helped ensure peace between the covens. It’s the last place Caspian wants to be, but with the death of Queen Avel, and his own imminent rise to the throne, it’s more important than ever. The stability of the House depends on it.
In four days a new king will be crowned, but when Charlie unintentionally crashes a gathering of the most secretive of all the Great Houses, he sets into motion a series of events that could disrupt the transition of power, and threaten the future of the House of Witches forever.
While Club 669 is planned as a House of Witches Book 1—I’ve only just started working on book 2—it is also part of Tattooed Corpse stories, a project I have worked on with author Ofelia Gränd in which each individual, stand-alone story features the same dead body. (Think of the body like Keanu Reeves. He’s in a lot of movies, but he doesn’t always play the same character. And he’s also hot. LOL)
Again, in March, when we are closer to Club 669’s release, we’ll have fun with a cover reveal, games and giveaways! I’m so excited!
I think that’s all I have for now. But if you’re interested, check out my Call For Beta Readers below, and take a look at the books I’ve been reading, and as always, feel free to share you’re own recommendations! I can never had enough recommendations!
