Worked on editing a love scene in HOME AGAIN (my friends-to-lovers contemporary) yesterday. One of those scenes that are pivotal to the relationship and a character’s acceptance of his feelings. I have a playlist of songs I listen to when I want to get into the mood for certain types of sex scenes. Romantic vs. hard and fast vs. intensely emotional. This song fit yesterday’s scene. It’s an oldie but a goodie. “Have a Little Faith in Me.” Perfect for Kyle and Evan.

Back to Walter’s story (dang, this book needs a title)
Happy Friday! Hope everyone is doing well. I’ve had the best week. Does that sound like bragging? Really, I’m just feeling good this week and wanted to share. Just before we celebrated Thanksgiving here in the US, I took a week off from writing (which was both necessary for many reasons and incredibly scary since I haven’t done that in a long time). Well, this week I headed back into a more normal writing schedule, and things are moving along nicely.
Here’s where my current projects stand and some other news:
- Home Again
I have a tentative title and a first draft for my friends-to-lovers story. For now I’m calling it HOME AGAIN. The draft is pretty rough, but I’m really happy with the story and characters. I can’t wait for everyone to meet Kyle and Evan. - Walter Simon
So now I’m back to working on Walter’s story (this book desperately needs a title, but nothing has come to me yet). It’s a stand-alone story with a secondary character from MORE, Walter Simon. I decided to take a break to get the first draft done on HOME AGAIN, but this week I was able to get back to Walter’s. I’ve kept the poor guy waiting on first base for far too long now. - Contest News
I’m going to be hosting a Happy Holidays contest on the blog this month. It’ll be winner’s choice of one free ebook from my work or any Loose Id title. Check back in the next week or so for details. - Blogging News
I’m going to be guest-blogging at author Tara Lain’s blog next week. I’ll be talking about the differences between writing MORE and BREATHE. If anyone has questions about either book, I’d love for you to stop by and post a comment. I’ll share the link to the blog when it’s live. - Banners
I have a couple of new banners and skyscrapers that I’m using for online advertising. Feel free to grab one for your own website or blog if you’d like. They can all be viewed here.
I’m hoping to do more Friday posts than I have been in the past few weeks. Some of these will be writing updates like this one. For those of you who follow the blog regularly, this might get a bit repetitive. I apologize for that, but I think it’ll be a good way to keep my updates easily accessible for those new to visiting my site as more people become familiar with me and my work.
If anyone has any questions about my books, my current projects, or anything at all, feel free to contact me or add your question in the comments section of this post.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
