Release Week*! (*Or The “BUY MY BOOK, PLEASE!” Online Campaign)
So, it’s finally here – the third book in The Cougarette series, Cougarette Takes Manhattan drops in seven days.
Seven little days. Wow. I’m pretty stoked about it.
(Notice the lack of exclamation points that I am fighting the will to type.)
One of the reasons that this book is special to me is that it’s a very emotional read for every character involved (except Laney, because lesbians always have their shit together). Of course, the central focus remains to be CeeCee and Jay and how their union fares after their move to the concrete jungle.
Throughout CTM, you will witness a very specific shift not only in CeeCee’s relationship with Jay – but within CeeCee herself. This latest change in her life will be more chaotic than her divorce. CTM is going to navigate the reader through the ups and downs of CeeCee’s new life in the Big Apple.
As I’ve stated in previous blog entries, this was a tough book to write. I sat with some chapters for days, afraid to write them but eager to get the words out on paper all the same. I spent a lot of time fighting my characters in my head because they refused to behave. REFUSED, I tell you! I’ve found that by Book Three, I have zero control over these imaginary people. In contrast, The Cougarette was easier to write because the characters were newborns.
By the time I wrote CTM, they had become toddlers. Threenagers. Spoiled fucking brats.
So, when you read CTM, don’t blame me for any visceral reactions you may experience. If your favorite character (*sets eyes on #TeamJay*) does something you don’t like, understand that my hand was forced before you threaten my life via social media. My ARC readers already have hits out on me, I’m certain of that.
If you aren’t too busy reading CTM on your e-reader next Saturday, May 2nd, please join me and a bunch of naughty author buddies of mine at the Online Release Party, starting at 4pm CT. It’ll be a great time and, of course, we’ll all be giving away free stuff. Everyone likes free stuff, right?
Plus, you’ll need a break from devouring CTM – because once you hit the end of Chapter Nine…you won’t put it down. See you there!
