Update on the Previous Update

Hey, guys! I thought I'd do an update on my previous update since some stuff has been changed or moved around.
First off, I'm working on two WIPs at the moment. Both are spin-offs to the Men of McKenna Downs serial. One is on Mellie's younger sister, Kendall, and the Huntingtons. That one will probably be one big stand-alone book. MFMMM menage with BDSM and MM elements.
The other spin-off is about Danielle and her six men. That one also has BDSM and plenty of MM. It will be a serial of either three or four books.
I'm closer to done with the one about Kendall, but we'll see. Whichever one I get sent in first will probably come out around March or April (if serial gets done first), or February/March (if stand-alone gets done first).
Haunting Siren will be republished, but at this point I've got so much going on I'm not sure if I'll self-pub it or send it to one of my publishers. That would require additional revising and possibly another book in the series sent at the same time, so it would take a bit.
About that dark trilogy I told you about, I have the first book mostly written and the second one started. The first book is 160k words so far, the longest I've written to date. The book is MM. It focuses mainly on this one relationship, but touches on two other MM relationships. One is healthy, one is dysfunctional, the other is completely toxic. I'll have more details closer to time. This will be self-pub and come with lots of warning labels. Dark and at times disturbing, mainly in book two.
I was originally going to have it be a menage with a woman, but I decided to give those characters their own book so people could read it, since this book is so dark and some people will probably want to pass on it.
Winchester, Arizona 4 will come out next year if accepted, as will the second book in the Masters of Black Dragon series. I don't have exact dates for these since I'm working on the two McKenna Downs spin-offs at the moment.
Sorry it's taking a while. Writing can be a challenge sometimes with a toddler. LOL An energetic little boy no less. :)
I hope you all are well. Have a great weekend!

Beautiful Music Video & Such Things I Realized

This is off-subject, but there's this music video by Katy Perry for the song, "Thinking of You." It's a sad, beautiful song, and it's obvious from the video that she's a fan of The Notebook.
But here's where it gets interesting. Maybe I'm the last one to figure this out, but today I just realized that the video isn't her own take on the movie at random. She's portraying a deeper look at Finn and Sarah, the two friends of the main characters in The Notebook. I can't believe I just realized that. The guy that she loves in the video looks kind of like Finn, Katy Perry is a brunette like Sarah in the movie, and SPOILER: the guy dies. :(
It's a heartbreaking video, but beautifully made, and I love it even more now that I know she might have intended it to be a depiction of Finn and Sarah.
Enjoy. :)
