First up: In case you hadnāt noticed, I have a shiny new header and a shiny new tagline: Romance for Every Heart. The tagline reflects my belief that love is for everyone, and my intent to show that with the stories I write. Even though some of those stories might fall outside your usual reading boundaries, I hope youāll give them a try. Donāt worryāI have no plans to leave M/M romance behind. š
Iāll also be working on a redesign of the website, and along with the new look, Iāll be launching a newsletter probably later this month. Sign-ups are available right here. I donāt expect to publish more than once a month, and likely less often than that. Expect to find updates on upcoming titles, sneak peeks at cover art, snippets of works in progress, and a giveaway now and then.
So, what kinds of things will I be telling you about? Iām glad you asked!
I have only one firm submission deadline this year. In the fall, Iāll be submitting my (first?) title for the Dreamspun Desires line, Dating the Dad Next Door, with tentative publication slated for late 2017 or early 2018. In the meantime, though, Iāll be working on three primary projects: Help Wanted, an M/F category romance; Out of Bounds, the first in a college-set, sports-centered, crossover series (with M/M, M/F, and F/F titles); and Rhythm & Blues, a set of three thematically related M/M novellas. I might also try to squeeze in a Christmas story. Iāve been jonesing to write one for a while now.
I donāt currently have any firm publication dates during 2016, but after successfully getting In From the Cold published to Amazon in December, Iām working on self-publishing some more second editions. I have a novella and a short story that will revert to me this year and another short story that I already have back. Expect the novella in March, one short story in June, and the other short story in August (dates subject to change). And I plan to have those be available more widely than just Amazon this time!
(Iāll be doing cover art for those too, which is a whole different kind of fun. The novella cover is already done and will debut in the newsletter. :D)
On another note, Iāve decided not to publish guest posts regularly like I have been the past couple of years. I hate to do it, but itās time I canāt really spare right now. I will still post occasional guest blogs as part of special events (like charity blog hops), so if you have one of those coming up and would like me to host, feel free to shoot me an email. š
Learning to love means a study in patience.
Two sales to share today! First up, Iāve put my F/F novella, Graphite & Glitter, on sale for just 99 cents at all outlets through the end of the month. Links for your buying convenience:
