Done, Now What?

Twenty-four days, fifty thousand words, it is done-now what?
I have completed writing my next book. I buckled down for the first twenty-four days in April to complete it. Yay me! Now I begin the hard part (or the hard part for me). Editing proves a challenge. I find myself easily distracted during this process.  The excitement of writing no longer keeps me focused on the book until four a.m. Reading through the book three more times looking for typos, grammatical errors, plot holes, etc. is a chore for me. I do keep some excitement in trying to get a copy out to my Beta Readers as soon as possible. I can't wait for them to read, share what works, what questions they have, etc. It is just getting from the first draft to the Beta Reader draft that I struggle with. This is when writing feels like a 'real job' to me. But I must keep going. 
So, enough complaining you say-we want more details about the book.I am only willing to share the title with you at this point. I'm planning a sort of strip-tease in sharing of details on this stand-alone book. (What is a stand-alone? Some of you may ask. It means it is not a series. It is one book and done.) 
The moment you have been anxiously awaiting...Boxers or Briefs is the title of my current work in progress.
More details about this book will be uncovered in each new blog post in the days and weeks to come. Make sure you follow my blog in order to keep up on all of the latest news on all things Haley Rhoades.

A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

My To Be Read Shelf:

Goodreads members have a digital To Be Read shelf where they place titles they want to read soon.

Today I am sharing my physical To Be Read Shelf. It is a collection of books I received and purchased at KissCon in KC last month and a few I won in Goodreads Contests. Some of these are from a favorite author of mine. Others are authors new to me. I'm spending more time writing than reading right now, so I am falling way behind. What's on your TBR shelf?

PSA: If you are interested in free books from established as well as new authors, Goodreads Giveaways are a great way to get free paperback or Kindle versions.





Click on the Browse tab on your Goodreads page. You can select the genre that interests you.





From the drop down menu you can even                                             search by ebook or paperback.
Good Luck!


What's Next?:

I am over halfway done with my next book. Yay me! Of course, I will still have to edit before releasing it to the public. I am very excited and know you will love it.  I am keeping the title a secret and I already have the cover selected. Since my lips are sealed, I better stop before I spill the beans.

Trivia:

As you read the Surrogate Series or Third Wheel did you notice the names were presidential?
Carter, Kennedy, Taylor, Jackson, Dr. Harrison, Dr. Wilson

The 411:

Let me explain some things you might see me post or others post on readers' or writers' groups.
WIP=Work in Progress-this is the book I am currently writing
TBR=To Be Read-a list of books you plan to read
MC=Main Character or in some cases Motorcycle Club
HEA=Happily Ever After-a happy ending (Not the massage parlor variety.)
Nanowrimo=National Novel Writing Month and CampNanowrimo are mini writing sessions
throughout the year. This is a way of writers to use a social site to attempt to write a novel in a month. They have challenges and prizes. They put you in cabins with other writers to ask questions or get motivation.
IF you know a writer of any age (they have great resources for teens interested in writing) check out the website: https://campnanowrimo.org

I Want One:
"So cute, I want one." "Where did you get her?" I hear these questions a lot. I am very proud of our furbaby Nala the Pomsky. 
As empty nesters now, she keeps us occupied. As you know, I even wrote about a Pomsky in my first four books. A Pomsky is part husky and part Pomeranian. We've had huskies before and love the breed. Nala weighs in at 14 pounds full grown. She is three years old.

For more information on Pomskies and pictures of current litters available I am adding a link to our breeders site: Middle Tennessee Pomskies

April Showers Bring...New Books!

Happy April! 

I hope it feels like spring where you live today. Here in Kansas City, we have just this week started to see the sun and warmer weather in the forecast. I feel like long walks with Nala, baseball games, maybe a track meet, and a convertible car ride.

I should be writing!

My goal is 45,000 words this month. So far I am on track as I write a bit every day or should I say every night as insomnia plagues me.
I have many stories planned for the next year.  Recently though a creative book title entered my mind, so I moved that book to the front of the line. But, my lips are sealed on its title and details. I hope to begin edits by the end of April-you'll hear more about it soon.



For my fans of The Surrogate Series (The Proposal, The Deed, and The Confession) please share with your family and friends that I combined them into one book titled Third Wheel.
Third Wheel is available on retailers at links below. I am also offering a Goodreads Giveaway of the Third Wheel they can register to win a copy.
Please share the news.
