Name my next book!
HELP!
I’m literally having the hardest time coming up with a one to two word title for Isla Frank’s book. It’s the 4th book in The Canon Series and I’m officially stuck.
I have an awesome cover for her. All dark and intriguing unlike the shirtless men in the rest of the series. If you’ve read Tomlin and Takahashi you know this girl has been through hell and back! Her book takes you deep into it but will still have a happy ending.
If you have any ideas, here's what I need you to do:
1. Email me as many 1-2 word book titles in the comments that would be a great fit for the story.
2. Share with anyone you think would like to help.
3. Send before Friday, July 21, so I can get something over to my cover designer.
4. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see this same post and can comment and share there.
🌟 I’ll put you in the book acknowledgments, first and last name, no social media handles. 🌟
THANK YOU!!!!

Lot Lizard is getting dark
Hello beautiful people!
Hope your Tuesday is going great! It's hot as hell here in Houston, once again. I passed a restaurant sign yesterday that literally said, "Hey Satan, We don't want your weather either." Too funny.
Anyway, if you are not on my email list, why not? You're missing all the good stuff like Lot Lizard Excerpts, steamy books recs and book release updates.
You can join here and get access to my Freebies page with both bonus and deleted scene.

Alrighty - back to finishing this dang book!

Happy Camp NanoWriMo!
Good afternoon,
It's officially the first day of Camp NaNoWriMo, and even though this is predominantly a readers' site, I know plenty of authors on here that are participating.
Today I hosted my first ever live writing sprints on Instagram. I have to admit, I was a little nervous because I am not the best typist. A lot of the time, I dictate my novel because I can speak faster than I can type.
But part of stepping into your fear is doing things outside your comfort zone that you know are good for you.
It also allowed me a chance to connect with other folks in the book community, and I always love that.
Anyway, I hope you are having a wonderful Saturday and ready to launch a new month with whatever goals you would like to achieve!
Much love,
GiGi

Things are heating up!
It's been hot, HOT, and hot around here lately. I just got back from spending a week in Destin with white sand beaches and emerald water. The heat was unbelievable until I returned to Houston, which has been in a massive heatwave for the last two weeks. Temps have been hitting 101 and 103, and the feels like is even higher. Ridiculous.
All that has inspired me to write a pretty steamy scene of Hamilton handling his own business 🍆😜 and fantasizing about Molli, back when they were together in high school. I would include it here but it's pretty graphic so you'll have to wait until the book is released to read it. I know, terrible plug!
Now back to writing Lot Lizard!

Florida here we come!
Happy Saturday!
I hope this day finds you having fun, grilling with friends, and snuggling in with a good book. Restorative, relaxing, or rejuvenating, I hope you are getting what your soul needs!
The crew and I are heading to Florida. Part vacation, part baseball tournament, part me freaking out about riding jet skis and boats because I have a ridiculous fear of getting my face wet, even though I do my skincare daily. It's dumb, but something about that great big ocean and riptides will have my butt planted on the sand, maybe cool off in the surf - but that's it.
Anyway, I need to catch up on my word count with Hamilton, but can I tell you it's sooooo good so far. He has the cutest, most smothering Mom and a firm but loving Pops. Not to mention a new best friend, Rico, that loves Dani's feistiness and her bluntness. She's back but still with Tomlin, of course.
Hopefully, I can get some words down in between the beach and baseball games. Hope your June is off to an awesome start!

Summer is here!
Hopefully all you beautiful people are on summer break OR gearing up for it next week.
Ours officially kicked-off on Tuesday and I am so excited! I have a million things on my hot girl summer list, reading being at the top of the list even thought it falls to the bottom every time. Ugh.
Anyway, here's some of the things on my list:
Here's my summer fun list so far:
🏖️ Hamilton comes out this summer (if I stay diligent)
🏖️ Plotting Isla's story, and I already have the cover (eeks!)
🏖️ Super Secret Series - think novella, smut, and sexy young bucks
🏖️ More Author and Bookstagrammer interviews (live on IG on Thursday at 7 pm CST or on-demand on my YouTube channel)
🏖️ Collaboration with another author - still putting it together
🏖️ More YouTube content because y'all crazy kids apparently want to know more about my life.
🏖️ Weddings, a family trip to Florida and San Diego
I'd love to hear what fun and exciting things you have on tap for this summer season! Let me know!

Shiny new idea syndrome
Do you ever have one of those days, or week, in my case, where you know what you should be doing and you still don't do it?
That's me because I have been distracted by shiny new ideas to the point that Hamilton's story is a little behind because I have been writing and having a lot of fun with my smut novella that I plan to offer in June for free.
It's ridiculous to choose one book baby project over the other but that's what I have done. Chosen one child over the other which every good mom swears she'll never do.
Share in my distractions, by telling me what you are doing versus what you should be doing. I'd love to hear!
We can be procrastinators together!

Spring has sprung!
I hate to brag but the weather in Houston has been pretty amazing this week. (Don't tell the mosquitos!)
Bulldog and I have been writing poolside and enjoying it before the heat and humidity make us melt into the concrete.
I have started Book 3 in the Canon Series and am approximately 8700 words in. If you read my books, you know that's not much.
I confess I got sidetracked with a shiny new idea about writing a downright smut novella about a hot young Italian guy hitting on my FMC. It came to me at 5 am one morning last week and I've been writing about that instead. Not cool, since Book 3 has a deadline and this fun smut doesn't.
Can you blame me when all I want to do is fantasize about Paolo? Yes, that's his name too. Smoking hot.
Anyway, hope you have a happy hump day and if you want to fantasize about Paolo too, by all means, he'll be available to everyone in a couple of months or so.
All the best

Takahashi Released on 4/24
Hello all you beautiful people!
Takahashi, the conclusion to Dani and Tomlin's story was released yesterday, and I couldn't be happier with the love and support I have received from readers.
If you haven't seen my posts on IG or seen it on Amazon, it's available here if you are interested in reading it.
https://books2read.com/u/mYxQBd
Ahhh, I love how strong they are in their own ways, and it really complements each other well.
Dani is hot-tempered and foul-mouthed, albeit the tongue piercing is a reminder for her to change her ways. Tomlin is patient and pragmatic, almost as unyielding as Dani. Both have to learn to bend and compromise and therein lies the fun.
Now that Dani and Tomlin are out in the world, time to get started on Book 3 in the series, i.e. Hamilton's story. And let me tell you, that sweet little cinnamon role is not what you think. 😂
