Upcoming Books

Masters of Temptation (Temptation, Wyoming 6) was just accepted by Siren Publishing! It will come out in July. It's a MFMMM menage with BDSM and paranormal stuff in it, and it's part two to Badge of Temptation.
Broken Glory (Fallen Angels 3) will be coming out in August at Pink Flamingo Publications and Erotic Book Network.com. It's Jude and Scarlett's story.
I'm currently halfway done writing Winchester, Arizona 3.

Fallen Angels 3 & Updates on Other Books...and Then Some Rambling at the End

Broken Glory (Fallen Angels 3) has just been accepted by Pink Flamingo Publications! Yay! I don't have an exact release date yet, but I'll let you know when.

I'm almost finished with Temptation, Wyoming 6. I've got about three or four chapters left to write before I'm done and can send it off.

I finished that BDSM menage cowboys book I mentioned a couple of months back. Now it's just a matter of finding it the right home. It's a little darker than I anticipated, though nowhere near as much as my Fallen Angels trilogy. Just darker than the romances I usually write, though the elements are kind of key to character development, so we'll see what happens. It's book one in a new series that revolves around a BDSM club where menage and cowboys are prevalent. It's one of those F/M/M/M/M/M kind of stories, and I must say it was quite fun to write. :)

After I finish Temtation, Wyoming 6 and send it in, then I'll work on Winchester, Arizona 3. That shall be fun. :)

Have a swell day, everyone! Today I'm all about the girl's day off. This is the part where I get to take some time to myself and just shop in the city. Mostly window shopping, but hey, that's good, too. Got to hit the gym later tonight, preferably when all the big guys aren't there with all their bulging muscles and loud grunts. I feel like such a twig in the weight room when surrounded by men lifting a crapton more than me. When I'm alone, it's like "Sweet, I'm lifting way heavier than before. Go me!" Then five of those guys come in and lift 300 pounds with their thumbs...and I shrivel into "I suck" mode. Lol

I'm no pink 1 lb. dumbell girl, but even at my best, I'm not tossing several hundred pound weights into the air like a ball. I know, I don't have as much testosterone and nobody's judging what I lift in the weight room. It's just awkward to be surrounded by Titans while in the zone.

But this mama is determined to look better than before she was pregnant. I'm in the same jean size as before and I don't look bad, but dang it, I want to at least look how I did before, preferably better. Sucky thing is, after you have a baby it takes hard work to look as good as before. Before it was just "Eat relatively healthy and work out." Now it's "Eat CLEAN most of the time and work out even harder" for the same results. Bleh! I assume in time the hard work will get me to the vision in my head. *Sigh* It better. This is hard and then taking care of a baby on top of it. Help me! :P

To all you mamas out there with multiple kids and still making time for the gym, I salute you! Seriously, you're amazing women. :) People like you inspire the heck out of me and make me strive to be better. Have a nice day or evening! :)

My Little Plans

I just finished the first book in a new series about menage, cowboys, and BDSM. I sent it off to the publisher, so hopefully they like. If so, the book will probably come out in March. It's a pretty long one at 108,791 word count.
After a couple of days off from writing to focus on other things, I've got to finish writing Fallen Angels 3. I only have about six chapters left on it before I'm done.
Once I get that book sent off, I've got to finish up Temptation, Wyoming 6, which is part two to Badge of Temptation. I have about seven chapters left on book six. It's a really long one. Should be over 100,000 word count when I'm done.
After that baby gets done and sent off, I've got to start Winchester, Arizona 3. That's the final book in the trilogy, though I plan to do a spin-off series based on the side characters and set in the same town.
I've got other books planned to write later this year, but I want to focus on the three above mentioned books first.

On an unrelated note, some personal goals or New Year's resolutions of mine include finishing the unpacking, trying to plan menus more instead of not having food to eat or eating out in a time crunch, and I want to build more muscle as well.
I've decided to do this thing where I eat clean (mostly non-processed foods) all the time with a couple of treats a week in addition to my working out. I generally eat healthy anyway, but I want to go cold turkey with eating excellent for a few months. I've done it before on a smaller scale, but I want to try it for about twelve weeks to shock my body and hopefully see decent muscle gain. Nothing crazy like steroid goddess or anything. I just want to see how much muscle I can naturally gain and still look like a woman.
After the twelve weeks, since I'll be used to eating clean (hopefully), then it will be easier to continue.
I also want to decorate my home. I have some ideas about what I want, but my tastes seem to differ for each room. I'm definitely sure about the look for the bedroom. I'm thinking romantic and sensual...maybe even erotic. ;) I love scarlet reds, rich golds, olive greens. Not sure how much of each color or if I'd use them all in the room. I also really like black and silver as a separate look.
In the kitchen I like the Tuscan look, but I also love the modern look with all the dark wood cabinets, black appliances, and stainless steel goodness. :) Might do that.
I'd have to do all this over time, though. Collect ideas, shop for pieces here and there over the years so I don't go broke trying to be Martha Stewart. When it's all done, my home will look awesome!
I clean of course, but I want to decorate in some kind of theme. I really like whites in the living room, but I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to have a white, romantic look while living with two males. Hmm.

Note About Where the Rebel Flag Still Waves

In case any of you are wondering what happened to my civil war book, Where the Rebel Flag Still Waves, to make a long story short, the rights reverted back to me, so the book is temporarily out of print. I did some major editing and revising on the story. Pink Flamingo Publications has accepted it and the book should come out in March 2014.
While the overall story of Where the Rebel Flag Still Waves is basically the same, here are some of the changes I made: It's still a historical paranormal set in the civil war era, but I turned it from an erotic romance into pure erotica. It used to be a M/F love story, but now it's a M/F/M menage love story. I expanded on the heroine's motives and gave her more depth.
There are also more sex scenes and some kink added, including: more M/F/M menage sex scenes, figging, hot wax play, anal fisting, shaving, clothespins, spanking with a crop, double anal penetration (yes, on the heroine), some more M/F sex scenes, two more M/M sex scenes, two F/F sex scenes, and one F/F/M sex scene.
Oh yeah, and I added in a bear shifter, because bears are awesome, and how can a Southern gentleman with a gunslinger past and a were-bear side to him not be hot and oh so fun? :)
There might be more that I forgot to mention, but basically it's the same story only hotter and with several significant differences.
I really enjoyed writing this book and can't wait for it to come out. The original version of this story was the very first novel I ever wrote, though it wasn't the first book that got published. My writing has improved a lot since then. The previous published book was good, but I have since edited and revised the book to my liking, and the overall results are a stronger, hotter story. :)
If you choose to read the book, I hope you enjoy it. I would also be curious to hear from anyone who happens to read this book as well as read the previous version. Did you like the changes? Which story did you prefer?
I'll post more when I have a release date.
